I've been waiting to bust this out for a while and with Dino Steel nearing its end, this feels like a perfect time to do it. Now if you've noticed with my last few games, I've made it a point to build a world that didn't involve the main PR timeline to offer something fresh and challenge myself. Plus, I noticed that with other games, there tends to be an over-reliance on established PR lore instead of letting your creative juices flow with some people that can take away from the overall quality. With that being said, I'm putting a new spin on a game originally launched in 2009 where I aim to honor the past, embrace the present, and try some new things out for the future.
***
This Earth has seen its fair share of battles with none bigger than the Grand Battle - an all out war to save the universe from villains across the multiverse. To that point, this earth has also seen its fair share of heroes, many of which united from different timelines to combat these evils. The grueling battle was won by the heroes of the multiverse, led by the the Dynasty Drive Rangers of this timeline after their defeat of Zeo, the deranged Eltarian. With such a war over, there were numerous casualties, many of which consisted of legendary heroes and the remaining heroes of this timeline vowed to better work together to ensure that the universe as a whole was protected and that they would never suffer losses like this ever again. To their credit, the heroes followed through on that promise, forming the Universal Heroes Alliance or UHA for short. With the UHA, heroes from across the universe would be able to coordinate with each other to keep their respective planets safer than they ever have before. For the planet Earth, Grid Battleforce was created which served as a central hub where Rangers, Riders, Troopers, Borgs, Syber Squaders or any other heroes could reach out to for help no matter where they were located. Leading the charge was the leader of Earth's branch of the UHA, legendary Ranger Commander Joey Brooks. Together with his friends, family, and comrades, the Earth remained able to fend off any enemy, sustaining peace for over 20 years.
Unfortunately for Earth, there are still villains who wish to shatter that peace and one villain has bided their time and has emerged as the greatest threat that the universe has seen in two decades. In order to combat this new threat, the Earth branch of UHA has greenlit the return of Lightning Sting, the team that put the UHA Commander on the map but instead, there will be 5 new heroes stepping up to the plate to wield the revamped legendary powers and defend the Earth against this heinous evil. For the newest team of Rangers, the pressure will be on to live up to the legends that have preceded them over the decades and protect the planet that they all hold so dear. Rules*No Original Rangers or Ranger-like allies. Please stick to the designated open role(s) *Not First Come, first serve. Best Bio gets in. *Depending on the bios that are submitted, I may ask some people to take on different colors than originally requested.

Today was a joyous day, a day of monumental proportions. Today is a day where the world would change for a select few young people... GRADUATION DAY! In the past twenty years since the Grand Battle which included heroes and villains from across the multiverse, peace had become almost common place on the planet. Although the brutality Zeo displayed will never be forgotten, he did teach them a valuable lesson. With all of the Rangers across this universe, it was important to work together across all teams, all of the time, not limiting themselves to special team up events or working together within their individual teams. For that reason, the surviving Rangers created the Universal Heroes Alliance or UHA. Funded by the likes of Wes Collins and Andrew Hartford on Earth, the Rangers were able to operate independently outside of the government with Rangers from across the universe lending their expertise ranging from science to combat to tactics to ensure that what happened with Zeo will never happen again. The best thing about this alliance is that it kept things fluid. There was no government style organization, allowing heroes who wanted to step away to do so peacefully while allowing those who still wished to continue the fight to do so with the support of like minded allies who embraced the protection of the power. But today had nothing to do with the UHA, at least not directly. Today, a special young lady accomplished a spectacular achievement... graduating high school. The girl in question was Janelle Turner Brooks or JT for short. JT was the daughter of legendary Rangers Joey Brooks and Jules Grayson-Brooks. Currently, JT and all of the high school graduates with their loved ones were present at a local high school stadium with the young graduates walking across the stage in alphabetical order. Unfortunately for the parents, the one draw back to being public Rangers is that it came with a level of celebrity that made things complicated for when they came out to support their kid or when they traveled to support kids of other Rangers who didn't have public identities. In those cases, they were forced to stifle their applause for fear of tipping the media off to others who didn't have public identities. In this instance, they could be as loud as they wanted for their only child. When JT's name was called out, her parents erupted along with her neighboring family and friends. JT flashed a wide smile, accepting the diploma and instead of shaking the principal's hands, she hugged him before leaving the stage and standing with her classmates. Soon after JT's name was called, the announcer called the name of Reginald Clark or Reggie to his friends and family, leading to another eruption of applause. He was the son to Memphis Clark and Rachel Clark, the former serving as the Dynasty Drive Gold Ranger. Once the names were all called, the students turned their tassels in traditional fashion before throwing their caps in the air with the students celebrating that the graduation was finally done. JT and Reggie ran over to their parents with both moms pulling the kids into huge hugs. "I am so proud of both of you!" Jules said as she hugged JT then hugged Reggie soon after. "You kids were amazing up there! I think I'm gonna cry." Rachel dabbed her eyes with some tissue that she kept on her just in case she started chopping onions.

(If she's too over the top, I'll tone her down! Lol)
"UGH! Hurry the fuck up!"
The angry voice belonged to twenty-one year old Rose Isely, currently annoyed and angry with the staff "assisting" her. She sighed and shook her head, her hands clenching. She folded her arms, foot tapping against the floor and growling. She took her card, setting it back in her wallet and dropped it into her purse. Rose tapped her fingers against her arm, glaring at the other woman.
"Ma'am, we're doing--"
"If you finish that with "The best we can", I will shove my heels right up your ass!" Rose snapped. "Just give me my order! I've already paid for it! Just give it here!" When the bags were set on the counter, she took them and scoffed, turning and storming out of the store. "Fucking idiot!" She threw the bags in the trunk of her car, slamming it before she got in and drove off, shaking her head. "Goddamn morons! Fucking insignificant losers!"

Walking through downtown, Nat slowly but surely made her way towards the office. Her phone attached to her ear, the daily phone call with her mother and father reassuring them that she didn't need to come home. "Momma. Daddy. I told you both, I am doing just fine right here in the city." She spoke, her country twang catching her some stares from other pedestrians around her. Guess they hadn't actually seen or met a country girl before. "I have my apartment downtown, it's only a ten to fifteen minute walk for me." She said before being cut off by her mother. "Listen, the two of you need to learn that I am a grown woman now. I'm also at the office. Have a good day. Love you." She quickly said before hanging the phone up and entering the building of the Gazette.

"And done! Let's see that score Cadet..." an UHA officer shouted as a young soldier looked up at a virtual board. 'MISSION GRADE: A' big white bold letters appeared as other soldiers cheered for the young man.
"Excellent work Steven... highest score of today so far. I'd say you've made big improvements... however there's room for more improvement... your field instinct is still lacking... noting your surroundings is imperative to missions."
"Yes Sir..." Steven nodded holding back his smirk as regardless the fact was he was leading the training simulator grade. Suddenly the previously buzzing room went down to murmurs as the doors swung open and everyone's attention went right to them as Ghost walked in. Wearing only a tank top, black & white camouflage pants and some tattered Nikes the young man dropped his workout bag as he cracked his neck walking up to the training simulator not saying a word to anyone.
"You're late Agent Ghost..." the officer raised an eyebrow as The young man let out a sigh.
"Highest Grade and risk level completed on?" Ghost asked almost sounding bored of the conversation already.
"Grade A on a level 9, Steven Patterson" the officer answered.
"Last weapon selected?" Ghost put on his shades as he immediately spotted Steven.
"Automatic Blaster..." the officer raised an eyebrow.
"Automatic Bl-... is he seven?" Ghost chuckled as a few other students laughed a bit. "Training Simulator Risk level 10, Weapon Select... I'm feeling fun today let's go with the Bow." Ghost watched a Bow and Arrows were handed to him by another agent. The room around him begin to morph and materialize into a different setting. As others outside of the simulator watched on intently as the training mission now began.
Ghost moved low as he entered into a building, taking care to take slow methodical steps. He stopped suddenly before reaching back his body tensed up. He then pulled back as he spun quickly firing a shot at a goon trying to get the drop on him from the roof. Ghost rushed into the building with a kick in and forward roll as he shot a pair of Arrows taking down two more goons as he ran to the walls side and put his back to it moving alongside it as he made his way up some stairs peeking his head spotting another grunt as he stealthily released an angled shot upwards and soon a body was falling straight down.
Ghost smirked as he readied his bow for more.

" Syn, you don't have to worry about not taking a break. They're going to come right here to see us." "But Papa... I want to say hi to them... or else I'm gonna miss them when they leave." "They'll understand. I already told our friends in advance. It's not the end of the literal world." A young man named Dieck huffed, rolling his eyes at his adopted father as he sat by the stairs outside, pushed his inhaler down, squeezing it a few times to get the medicine nice and deep into his lungs. That said adopted father happened to be the former Galaxy Green Ranger and Dynasty Drive Silver, Daniel Ducard. Following the war with the multiverse, Daniel took the job in the Grid Battleforce, working as a Hand-to-Hand Combat Specialist and office management while settling his time between Synchro City and Ventara with his four bright boys. Among them was Dieck. After using his inhaler, Dieck took the water bottle from his father to rinse him mouth until he spat it to the pavement. "Really Papa." He cleared his throat and shook his head. The he put his inhaler in his pocket before looking at his dad, rubbing a hand over his chest. "You're becoming King Jinx if you keep this up." Daniel chuckled, sitting beside his son to wrap his arm around him in a comforting way. "That would not be the case. But did you get that from Quinlin or Ulster or even both?" "Ehh..." Dieck smirked a little, preferring not to confirm or deny that his other adopted brothers mentioned it behind their dad's back. "Can it be neither?" Before Daniel could respond, he caught a glimpse of his youngest adopted child Nick, running towards them. Once he stopped and placed his hands on the steel rail of the stairs, he immediately announced, "Hey guys! I finally found them!" "Great. Thanks Nicky!" Dieck stood from the stairs, adjusting his backpack on as he nodded his father and brother with a smile. Then he followed them, making sure he had the time to meet up with his childhood friends and his father's friends after their graduation ceremony was completed.

After the kids were finished up with their friends and the electricity in the stadium began to die down, the Brooks and Clark families made their exit and traveled to a local steak house to celebrate this momentum occasion. The wives wondered why Joey chose to rent out such a large room when it was just the six of them.
"Trust me on this one. I'm planning ahead. I figured you'd like that one." Joey opened the door, allowing everyone to pass before him.
"I do but that doesn't sound like you. Are you sure you're not a Joey from a different timeline?" Jules joked.
"Very funny." The UHA narrowed his eyes in jest before they all sat down. Minutes later when they were all engaging in deep conversation, they received an interruption from a few friendly faces.
"Is this room taken or can anyone slide in?" The voice belonged to Carter Grayson, Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger accompanied by his wife Dana Mitchell-Grayson, Lightspeed Rescue Pink Ranger and Ryan Mitchell, Titanium Ranger and also Carter's brother in law.
"Carter!" JT stood up from where she was sitting and took the time to hug all of the entrants individually. After hugs and handshakes were exchanged around the room with everyone, Carter pulled out a small box, placing it on the table in front of him, causing JT's eyes to grow wide in anticipation. "Oooh is that what I think it is? Is that your morpher? Please tell me that's your morpher. Or is it Ryan's? I'm happy with Titanium too!"
"Hey, what about mine? Why can't my morpher be in the box?"
"Dana, you know Pink has never been my color." JT grinned with Dana playfully pushing her shoulder.
"You really are set on Rangering up now that you've graduated, haven't you?" Ryan asked.
"Hell yeah! I've been training since I was able to walk. I'm super ready for this."
"You know it's a shame." Another familiar face walked through a glass case of wine, rubbing his beard once stationary. "All that talk of being a Ranger, you'd make a damn good Rider."
"Kit!" JT ran over to Kit, the former Red Galaxy Storm Ranger and current Kamen Rider Dragon Knight and gave him a huge hug, nearly knocking him over.
"Easy now, I can't afford to pay for all of that wine." Kit smiled before turning his attention to Reggie, walking over to him, pulling him into an embrace. "Hey there!"
"Kit, it's great to see you!" Reggie exclaimed. "Where's Ronin?"
"He's trying to get here. He's finishing up some work with Master Eubulon." Kit said, speaking of Len's replacement also serving as his Earth doppelganger along with being the former Galaxy Storm Gold Ranger and current Kamen Rider Wing Knight. "But Master Eubulon sends his regards and congratulations to both of you."
With some extra guests, everyone took their seats and continued speaking with one another, getting very loud as a lot of conversations were not only crossing paths but changing participants at a rapid pace.

Once Dieck arrived with Daniel and Nick at the steak house, he saw familiar faces that he hadn't seen in a while other than in Grid Battleforce and Ventara.
"Woah. There are so many people." Nick said with shock and surprised. "It's not wonder you know them a lot, Dan."
"Yeah, well." Daniel replied sheepishly, rubbing the back of his hair. "It happens every once in a while. Reunion type of thing." He smiled fondly until he looked at his son fully, deciding to offer assurance since that was the first time he ever got to meet the rest of the people he met in his life. "It will be overwhelming at first, but you'll come to like it. If it's too much later on, you can tell me."
Nick pondered for a moment before nodding with a smile. "Okay." He responded, feeling at ease by his new father's advice. He looked up at Dieck with a grin. "Let's get a move on."
"Cool!" Dieck grinned back, rubbing his brother's hair as they lead on. When he finally saw the rest, he quickly ran to the first person he knew.
"Uncle Kit!" Dieck greeted with a hug. "I didn't expect to see you here. I thought you were at your shift with Master Eubulon."
"Hey bro!" Daniel greeted one of his best friends with a fist bump and a hug. Nick waved at him with a grin. "Hey."

Riding on the elevator, when the bell rang and the doors opened, Nat found herself standing there with a smile on her face. She did this everyday it seemed when she came to work. It was her dream job and her dream paper and nothing would ever change that. Walking into the room of cubicles, she set her things down at her desk and started playing her messages. Her hopes she would have a great story she could write in the next week or so, she felt like she had been in a rut recently.

"D!" Kit laughed as he hugged the young Ducard. "I did yesterday. He knew I couldn't miss Reg and JT graduating today. They'd never let me hear the end of it."
"Damn straight!" Reggie said with a laugh.
Memphis saw Daniel and gave him a fist bump. "I figured you'd be busy with the kids today."

"Training Simulation over." A robotic voice announced as everything shut down. Ghost twirled his bow as he tossed it to a worker as he dusted his hands off watching the scoreboard light up 'Grade Level S' the crowd gasped and applauded as Steven frowned and huffed his feelings clear as Ghost brushed past him.
"Better luck next time... Stevey..." he said flatly before his shirt was grabbed aggressively from the agent.
"You think you're better than everybody! But you're not! None of this means anything if you can't apply it on the field!" Steven yelled.
"And how many missions have you been a part of? Actually?" Ghost asked matter of factly before speaking up to answer his own question. "Zero... because you're not ready yet. Me? 27 completed assignments and the year ain't nowhere near finished. It's okay to feel threatened."
"Threatened?! By you?! As if!" Steven replied
"And yet you're clutching my shirt making yourself look like a bigger fool in front of both our superiors..." Ghost motioned towards the UHA agents all staring at the commotion. Steven grumbled and let Ghost go as he rubbed off his shirt before continuing to walk off.
Everyone did what they always did at this point. Many praised Ghost's talents, others ridiculed him for showing off, others judged his team work capabilities. It was all just noise to Ghost regardless. He headed to the food hall area and grabbed a tray sighing to himself. These days he was just waiting for the next mission or anything exciting to pop up.

Rose pulled up at a restaurant, slamming the door of her car after grabbing her purse and getting out. She took a breath and sighed, shaking her head and walking in. She was seated and leaned back, looking over the menu. "Too damned early for a drink," she said, rolling her eyes. She decided what she wanted, folding her arms and waiting impatiently.
After a couple of minutes, a waitress came over. "Sorry for that wait. What can I get you?"
"Tea. Unsweet. With Lemon and lot of ice. Mozzarella sticks, no sauce. Salmon filet with Arborio rice, green beans," Rose said, pushing the menu to the waitress.
"Anything else?"
"If I want anything else, I'll yank your chain. Go," Rose said, turning her focus to her phone, effectively ending the conversation.
"Yes, ma'am. I'll have that--" The Waitress stopped and shook her head, walking off. Once she was out of earshot, she huffed. "Bitch."

"D!" Kit laughed as he hugged the young Ducard. "I did yesterday. He knew I couldn't miss Reg and JT graduating today. They'd never let me hear the end of it."
"Damn straight!" Reggie said with a laugh.
Memphis saw Daniel and gave him a fist bump. "I figured you'd be busy with the kids today."
"Tell me about it. I didn't want to miss it either. My brothers will be pleased if I don't tell them about." Dieck agreed before he takes a glance at Reggie.
"Hey Reggie! Congratulations!" Dieck greeted him with a fist-bump and a hug.
"Not really." Daniel answered, giving Memphis a fist-bump Memphis back and a side-hug. "Ulster and Quinlin had to volunteer with Ronin and Eubulon since they want to become Kamen Riders one day. With Dieck already free from his own graduation, he told me he wanted to see his friends again since it's been a while. Can't say no to this. Also Nick wanted to go as well. Right Nick?"
Nick looks up between his father and Memphis and chuckled. "Yeah." He replied. "I was looking forward to it. I wanted to see how the reunion looks like besides the usual places Dan takes me. So far, it's cool."

After the large group ate and drank until their stomachs reached capacity, the time now came for graduation gifts. JT and Reggie sat at the head of the table, eagerly awaiting what was coming to them. "Son, we're starting with you." Memphis spoke up. "Your mom and I are very proud of the work you've done and the young man you've become. So it's only fitting that you receive something worthy of your efforts." The former Gold Ranger and current head of combat training with Grid Battleforce pulled out his phone and handed it to Reggie, leaving him puzzled. "Thanks.. You're giving me your phone?" Reggie struggled to form the words as he didn't want to come off ungrateful. "Go to Holo mode." Memphis said. He casually folded his arms, leaning towards Joey, whispering to him that he should brace himself. Reggie went to the appropriate mode on his dad's phone. A new holographic image appeared, followed by Alpha 5 walking into view. Once lost to time, Alpha 5 migrated to the future with the Dynasty Drive team after the final battle against Zeo. Due to his fate being lost to history, the Rangers chose to bring him back with them so that he could avoid a potentially grim fate. "Hi Reggie! Congratulations on your achievement. I recall graduating high school being a momentus Earth occasion for young humans and I knew you could accomplish this achievement! I look forward to working with you in your new lab!" Alpha said before the message ended. Reggie looked at his dad, then to his uncle, then back to his dad again. "Dad, is he serious?" Memphis nodded, confirming that the lab in the photo was now Reggie's. "You earned it." "If we're going to continue this wave of peace, I need the best and brightest." Joey added. Fighting back tears, Reggie pulled his dad into a massive hug before hugging his mom, followed by his Aunt Jules and Uncle Joey, all being reminded of how strong the young man in. "Thank you guys so much!" The attention soon after turned to JT who opened the box that Carter originally gave her to reveal a single key fob. "This is new. I don't recognize the morpher design." JT said, cautiously optimistic that a new set of powers were created just for her. "Not just yet. It's something else you've been bugging us about." Jules smiled. The former Yellow Ranger pointed out of the window, revealing a red vehicle with a bow on top, causing the young Brooks to scream. "Oh my god!" JT kissed her dad on the cheek and hugged her parents along with hugging her Grayson/Mitchell cousins who helped get it here. "It's perfect! "Thank you guys so much!" She squealed before looking at Reggie. "Come on, I want to see your lab up close and I know you need a ride." Once Reggie was in agreement, the two 18 year olds left the restaurant and in almost an instant, the pair sped off in the car, leading to a room full of laughs and warm smiles upon seeing those two receive their gifts.

"Dang. They're lucky they have their gifts. Hopefully they will put it in good use," Dieck spoke with awe. He wasn't really jealous about it since he and his brothers got their own graduation gifts from their Dad, which he hoped his would be put in good use soon. Somehow, he couldn't help but wonder though.
"Say Uncle Boss," Dieck asked Joey in a curious manner. "Do you think this time around Earth's going to need the Power Rangers more than ever?"
