 Power Rangers Dino LegionA GoseiYellow Production It has been two years since the defeat of King Blackstone and the Space Pirates. It is now the year 2022 and the Crystal Machine Rangers have moved on as life granted them the extraordinary. However, when the Rangers stumble upon a secret base, they were met with an arsenal of knight-like keys that originally belong to a group of heroes that protected a small kingdom named Ryusaul thousands of years ago. Not only that, a new force of evil has risen: a group of demons from the East called the Saigaima Guild, whose thirst for carnage and human flesh, has transpired to take control of Angel Grove and later the world. As they unleashed the massacre from their fingertips, the Rangers were met by former Dino Thunder mentor, Hayley Ziktor and grant them the power to access the keys and unlock their power to fight the new foes. Who will prevail and who will perish?

((OOC: Alright! Y'all know what to do! The fun will start later!)) " CHROMA STRIKE FINALE!" the Crystal Machine Rangers shouted out as they performed their final attack on Blackstone and he screamed in defeat as his ship began to explode in a huge blast the massive wave of crystallized energy vaporizing all of the Space Pirates, saving the entire world. But it came with a cost, fellow Blue Ranger, Jax Ratcliffe was killed by Sansa before her defeat and Divatox along with the Crystal Machinezords sacrificed themselves by going to self-destruct. Four of the Rangers, Derek Chase, Tyler Leighton, Mackenzie Stewart, and Amara Ratcliffe had been emotionally and physically drained from the final battle against the Space Pirates but because of their victory, the people of Angel Grove hadn't stop talking about the Power Rangers. But as the two years had passed since the defeat of the Space Pirates and the loss of Jax, Divatox, and the Machinezords, the remaining four had focused on their endeavors and things have been going pretty well for all of them. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Tyler had been keeping himself busy with focusing on his career as a YouTuber and things had been nothing but incredible for him. Not only did he gain an enormous following from his original YouTube channel and his gaming channel, he had made a large amount of money from his music and gaming and has become one of the richest content creators, beating the likes of PewDiePie, Markiplier, and even SSSniperWolf, making more than $1.5 billion. Best of all, he had independently released his debut album which had already peaked #1 on the Billboard charts and was even featured in different YouTube channels, especially gaming channels. He was also getting lots of sponsors from famous brands and is collaborating with Riot Games to create his first-ever video game. Many people began to recognize the former Yellow Ranger and he enjoyed the attention he was given as his face was seen everywhere. Tyler was seen in his now-owned, penthouse in downtown Angel Grove as he was about to get ready for his day until he gets a call from his brother, Giorgiotto who was still living in Italy and he answered. "Yo, Joe! How's everything going?" he asked with a smile. "It's wonderful, Tyler. My friends can't stop talking about you! You've become a big-shot celebrity!" Giorgiotto said, happiness heard in his voice. "Thanks, man. I worked really hard to get where I'm at. My team had a lot of faith in me as I had for myself," Tyler responded, smiling back. "I really wished you were here to see me make my work, though. It really ain't fun with you being across the pond." "I know, fratello. But I'm really proud of you. Mom and Dad as well, they've told me how much you worked hard," Giorgiotto exclaimed. "You really came along way." Tyler smiled as he sighed while grabbing a bottle of orange juice, "Yeah, I do remember when I first started doing YouTube and everything went from there. I really thought that I wasn't gonna make it big, but my friends believed in me," he spoke as he remembered Derek and company, especially Jax who had died in the hands of the Space Pirates. "You have wonderful friends, Tyler. Never forget that. I better get going, my meeting is about to start soon," Giorgiotto spoke. "I'll call you later." "Alright, Joe. See ya," Tyler said and hung up. Taking a nice swig of orange juice, the former Crystal Machine Ranger thought about the memories of the final battle against the Space Pirates as well as losing Jax, Dozer, and Divatox. He missed them dearly and kind of wished that he could see them one more time. He could feel the slight sadness, but he was happy that the world had been saved from Gregory and Blackstone. Little does he know is that another force of evil was lurking in the shadows. ___________ In the dark depths, a group of demons emerged from their deep slumber. Three of them, took the form of Japanese mythological demons, the first one taking the form of an ogre, the second one took the form of a nine-tailed fox, and the third one took form of a tengu. They dubbed themselves as the Saigaima Guild, as the leader of the group cracked his neck. "It's been centuries since we have set foot on the surface," he spoke in a rough dialect. "The battle against that damned Ryusaul was intense. Now we have a chance to finish what we have started." "Heh, those knights in that kingdom were tough. It's too bad that they ain't here," the tengu demon snarked. "It would've been more fun to toss them around like rag dolls." "Well, aren't you the playful one, Tengusuke?" the female kitsune said in a sultry manner. "It's too bad that you lack the looks to match that personality of yours." Tengusuke growled at the woman, "Oh fuck you. I don't have to look a certain way to please some wench like yourself," he snapped. "Tengusuke, Kyuubiko. Now is not the time for any frivolous nonsense. It is time that we take what belongs to us. Any human that dares to stand in our way will face the consequences," the lead demon exclaimed to Tengusuke and Kyuubiko who ceased their fighting. Just then, a man dressed in a jet-black ninja suit appeared in both of them, "You should listen to Lord Kagemaru, the kingdom has now fallen. We cannot hold back any longer," he spoke in a low tone. "Yokaku, you finally understand me," Kagemaru spoke in a dark smile and Yokaku turned away. "Do not think we are allies, I hold no part of this," he said coldly. "Well then, prepare the forces. It is time that we show these damned humans that we demons will prevail," Kagemaru smirked. |

7 AM. Another morning in the books for Colt as he strolls into the building he rents to teach the kids. He begins to pull out the mop bucket and floor squeegee as he preps and disinfects the area as his class for the day comes in at 10. After mopping the floor and using the squeegee to dry it, he lays down the safety mats before walking up to the workout area to get his morning workout in with his earphones in his ear blasting some Linkin Park. It's not long before he looks at the clock and sees its 9:15. He grabs his clothes bag from his office and goes to the showers to clean himself up and prepare himself for the class.

A day in the life of a CEO who doubles as the widely recognized best gamer in the world is never dull. This especially rings true for Derek Chase. Even though this wasn't intended, Dream Chasers exploded in popularity thanks to the good press they received in making sure that civilians were safe during the final battle against the Space Pirates. Many Twitch and YouTube streamers jumped ship to join the Dream Chasers brand and instead of using this to line his own pockets, he increased everyone's salaries, including the janitors. Corporate pundits thought he was out of his mind for investing so much in his employees but it was his employees that contributed to historically low turnover rates compared to any other company in existence. Throughout it all, the King of Games kept a smile on his face and a snack in his hand.
At the moment, Derek was being interviewed by IGN over zoom and what was normally a no-no in a professional interview was acceptable for him because that was just him, referring to how he was eating a small bag of hot cheetos in between questions.
"So tell me DC, how are you pulling this off?" The woman asked with a smile on her face.
"Simple." Derek responded as he threw another cheeto in his mouth and quickly crunched it into oblivion. "Hard work and a great group of people working in this building."
"You make it sound so simple."
"It really is. Every single person who has their booty in a chair gives me 110% on a daily basis and as a leader, it's my job to not only match that energy but to guide them to success and create an environment where they can thrive."
"Does that include paying crazy salaries and taking less from your people than anyone else in the game?"
"It's not crazy when these people have families or an unchecked passion." Derek paused for a moment, taking a quick cheeto break. "This place is named Dream Chasers for a reason. If I can't provide a platform where you can comfortably provide for your family and allow you to pursue your passion, then I don't deserve to be in this position."
The interviewer sensed how passionate Derek was, prompting her to throw away her notes and freelance. "So what's next then? You've conquered business and the gaming worlds. Are you going to try your hand at music and slip into a different realm like Tyler Leighton did years ago when he suddenly stepped into the game world after hanging with you?"
Derek laughed, almost falling out of his chair. "Oh nah! The only time I sound good is in the shower and even then, my girl still tells me to stick to gaming when she hears my rendition of Kiss from a Rose."
"I find it interesting that you bring that up. We don't really see you out with your lady? Is there something the public should know? Is there something I should know? Is Derek Chase soon to be available?" The interviewer became extra interested when the topic came to Derek's love life, making Derek chuckle nervously.
"Things are good. She's just not the public person that I am but I'm an NPC at this point." Derek grinned.
"I see." She replied, seemingly disappointed. "Well, that's all I have unless you have anything else you wanted to add."
"To all of my team here at Dream Chasers, thank you for all that you have done and continue to do. Your work is always appreciated. To our fans and support us, thank you for sticking with me and my crew as we are expanding to do even bigger and better things!"
With those final words, the interview was over, allowing Derek to finish his bag of hot cheetos before getting up leaving his desk.
"I'll head downstairs for a bit and grab a bite after I see my people." He said as he walked out of the door of his office on the top floor.

"Alright, guys! That wraps up Until Dawn. Definitely going to replay that closer to Halloween and get everyone out alive. I can't believe I screwed up that last Don't Move. Those Wendigos are scary! We're gonna take a twenty minute break and we'll jump back onto the Switch for Digimon Cyber Sleuth! Catch you guys in a bit!" Amara Ratcliffe winked at the camera and blew a kiss to her audience, hitting her channel message and letting the "Stream Starting Soon" animation play. She muted her microphone and got up, sighing as she grabbed her phone, tucking it and her credit card into her pocket.
In the two years since the end of the Space Pirates, Amara had thrown herself into gaming even more then when she'd gotten fired and her station house blown up. Becoming one of the top three streamers in Dream Chasers, the former Pink Ranger felt on top of the world. Her mother still cooked outrageously delicious food, she had a wonderful boyfriend who was--at her last knowledge--being interviewed by IGN, and she donated over half of her earnings a week to various Veterans Relief funds and Wounded Warrior Project in her brother's honor. She still heard some rumors around the building about her relationship with Derek, and it didn't bother her nearly as much as it used to, especially since Boss had lightened up after Jax's death.
Walking into the cafeteria, the now twenty-eight year old grabbed a tray and loaded up some fruits and a cup of yogurt and granola, grabbing a water before paying and heading for a table. She sat down and popped a grape in her mouth just as her phone rang. "Motherfucker," she muttered, grabbing her phone out of her back pocket and looking at the Caller ID. "Hey, Mama."
"Hi, sweetie. I catch you at a bad time?" Ana Ratcliffe asked on hte other end.
"No, just finished up a morning stream and getting something to eat before jumping back in for a second half," Amara said. "Everything ok? What'd the doctor say?"
"Same as usual. Change the diet, lose the spicy food, give up the sweet tea. Cholesterol too high, blah blah blah. Not gonna listen because I am set in my ways and I will enjoy what I want until the day I die, thank you."
Amara sighed, biting her lip as she opened the yogurt and mixed the granola in. "Mama, please...just...do something? Even for a little bit? For me? Even if it's slowly reducing hte sugar in the tea or going to an alternative. I use Truvia and it's wonderful. Can't taste a difference. ANd neither can you when I make drinks when we're with Derek."
"You little sneak. Who taught you to trick your mother? I'm impressed." Ana laughed, making her daughter smile.
"You know who taught me, Mama. I've got their flags in shadowboxes over my stream setups at home and at your house," Amara said, tossing her spoon down.
Ana sighed, hearing hte change in her daughter's voice. "Sweetie, I'm sorry. I didn't...mean it that way. It's been over two years, and it still hurts..."
"How the hell do you think I feel, Mother? I was there when it happened. I held his hands as he died in my fucking arms. You just had to bury him. I had to feel my big brother die," Amara said. She took a shaky breath, her hands starting to shake. "I'll call you later." She hung up and tossed her phone down, wrapping her arms around herself and digging her nails into her ribs. "Fuck, fuck fuck...."

By the time Tyler had left his home, he could feel the sun basking onto him. Looking around the city, he could see that Angel Grove had changed within the last two years and he was fine with that. However, he could feel that it just didn't feel right. Thinking about the events of what had happened in the final battle against the Space Pirates, he tried not to think about the moments where Divatox had sacrificed herself and everyone else dying in battle. After all of the success he had done, he could still feel the void in his heart. He reached for his phone where he had the other Rangers' numbers on them and he decided to text them.
<"Ty: Hey, it's me. If you guys are free, we can meet up at the Youth Center. You know, just to hash out some things?">
He placed his phone into his pocket and made his way to the Youth Center, which isn't too far from here.

Mackenzie was sitting in her office and things have been going very well for her also. Because of her dedication in helping others get back on her feet and to keep her late parents' legacy alive, she was promoted to becoming the next CEO of the agency she had worked in and had made more than a million dollars in opening homes for others, especially the youth who had been kicked out by their parents or aren't able to get into orphanage due to them "aging out". even though the good things have been granted to her, she began to feel the slight emptiness inside of her. If losing her parents was bad enough, she also had to watch three of her closest friends die in battle and she could remember crying herself to sleep when the battle was over. It really hurt her to say goodbye to Supra, Jax, and Divatox and she had decided to keep herself distracted from the sadness she had endured. Removing herself from the computer, she gets a ping from Tyler and she read his message. A soft chuckle came across her face.
"Oh, Tyler," she said in a whisper and texted back.
<Kenzie: "I'd love to come by. I'm about to leave early, anyways">
She places the phone into her skirt pocket and makes her leave out of the office.

Once Derek got down to the lower levels, he made his normal rounds and proceeded to greet everyone in typical DC fashion. For everyone, it was another normal day, meaning Derek could rest easy. During his rounds, he noticed one of his younger kids playing one of the young adults in Madden. Derek knelt down next to the kid who was losing and whispered in his ear before standing up and smiling. The kid executed a different type of play and scored a touchdown, leaving everyone in disbelief, except for Derek who gave the kid a sly wink before walking off.
"Once I touch base with security, I..." Derek's plan was temporarily halted by the buzz of his phone. He pulled out the phone, only to find a message from Tyler. "Weird." He said to himself. There wasn't any pending items to hash out but judging by the other recipients of the message, he had a pretty good idea.
<"You're cutting into my lunch plans, Ty LOL.">
Derek sent the first text, as a joke before sending the second one to make sure he wasn't taken too seriously.
<"Yeah, I've got a bit of time. I'll meet you over there."> He sent the second text before he sent a text to Amara specifically.
<"Hey. Did you see Ty's text?">

10 AM rolls around and the class comes in. 15 eager and young students from as young as 10 years old to 20 years of age as they all get in line. Three rows of 5 students. All in their uniforms with their hands at their sides. Colt personally greats each of them one by one before he heads to the front of the class.
"Good morning, class. By the sounds of things, and also according to your parents or from your own stories that you enjoy learning from me. I thank you as I enjoy teaching you. As you know and look around, we have students whom are just starting, or have excelled and also help me teach. I take pride in that fact. I also hope that you've been keeping up with your forms. Just because I have this friendly appearance doesn't mean I can't be stern or a little more unpleasant, which I hate doing but I only do it because I believe in your abilities. So today for some of you, it's time to be tested for your new belts. So, those students who aren't being tested, please work with the other students and help them with their forms on the other sparring mat over there. The ones that are being tested, please wait your turn, and I will call you up one at a time to be tested. And if there are no incidents and if the class behaves? Pizza is on me. How about that? Alright then. Let's get to it!" Colt says as the class whoops and hollers in enjoyment.

Amara picked at her fruit as Tyler's text and then Mackenzie's response came through. She bit her lip, looking at the clock before seeing Derek's text. She swiped and opened that one, sighing softly.
<"Yeah, but I'm not sure. I just...I don't know that I want to deal right now.">
She pressed her hands to her eyes, forcing herself to stop the tears before they came out. She got up and threw her stuff away, heading for the door and walking out. She spotted Derek and jogged over. "Just had a fight with Mom over the phone, and all enthusiasm just tanked. I might cancel the game stream and do a chat stream instead."

"Oh wow.." Derek responded, sad to hear that Amara and her Mom had an unpleasant interaction over the phone.
"Hey, it's cool. If you're not up for it, I'll tell Ty you're not feeling well. Maybe you can go home and talk to your mom. Whatever it is, I'm sure you two can make nice." He threw out suggestions, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

After getting all of the texts, Tyler lets out a soft sigh as he began to make his way to the Youth Center where he entered where it was busy as usual. But the one thing that was different was that the juice bar was decorated with a dinosaur motif as Tyler remembered that Jason Lee Scott and Aisha Campbell had left America for Germany and had announced that they are officially dating. He was bummed that he won't be able to interact with the two former Rangers, but at least Hiro was still here and his sushi restaurant has become popular thanks to him and Derek. As he took a seat, a man approached the former Yellow Ranger, "Well, if it ain't th' man himself," he spoke in a strong Texan accent.
"Hey there, Hank. Give me one of your best strawberry-mango smoothies," Tyler said with a soft smile.
Hank O'Connor who is the new owner of the Youth Center gave Tyler a grin, "Comin' up," he said as he began to prepare the drink. "I find it pretty funny that ya decided t' still come here since yer now a big-shot," he said.
"Oh, I ain't that big-headed," Tyler said, snickering to the joke. "I was taught to 'be humble'. Like Kendrick Lamar has been tellin' us."

Amara sighed softly. "I can go. I just...it was about Jax again," she said softly. "I made a comment about how I've been sneaking fake sugar into the drinks and Mom hasn't even noticed and she said "Who taught you to sneak like that?" and all I said was "You know who. I've got their flags in shadowboxes over my stream setups." and she tried to talk about it, and I snapped at her. I'll go home and talk to her later. If I go now, it'll probably blow up and cause more problems." She rubbed her eyes softly, shaking her head. "I just...finally started getting over the nightmares...and feeling like I failed him."
She grabbed her phone and opened up Twitter, tapping out a message. "Sorry, guys. I know we were excited to take on the next couple of chapters of Digimon, but I'm gonna have to cancel the afternoon stream. Make it up to you guys tomorrow! Luv A!" she sent.
"C'mon. Let's go see the others," she said. "WOnder what needs to be hashed out. We haven't done anything in a long time together. Unless he found a way to magically turn time around."

Derek didn't say anything at first, letting Amara speak her peace, partially because with all of his resources, his skills, and tactics, he lacked the ability to heal that wound Jax dying left his sister and that hurts him almost as much as Jax's death. When the topic switched over to Tyler and his meet up, Derek could only shake his head.
"Okay, cool. We can take my car. Let's just hope this is nothing serious."

"Humble indeed. Here ya go, partner," Hank said with a smile, giving Tyler his smoothie. "It's on th' house."
"Thanks, Hank," Tyler spoke as he began to take a sip of his smoothie and smiled, knowing that the quality hadn't changed for the last two years since Jason and Aisha worked in the place. "Man, this shit is good," he spoke to himself until he hears the doors open, making him turn around.

Amara sighed softly. She knew that Derek was silently judging her changing the subject, and she knew she was stupid for doing it. She also knew that she'd be better off going back to her mother's and talking. She tapped her fist against her thigh softly, biting her lip. "You'd rather me go to the house and talk to Mom instead, wouldn't you?" she asked. "Derek, I..."

Colt began evaluating his students while they tested for their new belts. He also kept a keen eye on the other side of the room so no shenanigans were going on. After a while, he assembled the students yet again and presented the tested students with their new belts. "You guys were awesome today. I'm very proud of you all. So, like I stated earlier, I promised you pizza, right? Well, I'll call the Youth Center and let Mr. Hank know that we are on our way." Colt said as the class was super excited as they all went to get loaded up with their parents or to drive themselves. Colt took out his phone and dialed the youth's center's number. "Hey, Mr. Hank. It's Colt. I got the kids coming for their reward that I called about the other day. I got the cash already to pay for it. We will be there in a few. See you then." Colt said before he hung up the phone and got dressed in his civilian attire and locked up the shop before heading towards the Youth Center on his Harley to meet up with the kids and parents in the parking lot.
