 It has been six months since the defeat of Zaron at the hands of the Aura Strikers. The Rangers and their allies were able to resume living normal lives but when it comes to the eternal battle of good vs evil, nothing lasts forever. Long ago, an ancient race of aliens called Xanzarians on a faraway planet called Xanzar attacked the planet Zordopolis, a gigantic world filled with large creatures called Zords that roam free. The evil invaders wanted the powers of the creatures for themselves and when the zords refused, they waged a devastating war on the planet where many lives were lost on both sides. With the zords realizing that they were losing this war, they made the decision to enlist aid from other planets to drive away this evil. For years, they tirelessly searched for aid until they came across the planet Earth, full of human life. After sending a single scout, they realized that their massive power could not be sustained on Earth unless they took a different form or linked themselves to humans who could aid in managing their power. The leaders of Zordopolis sent a group of zords to Earth to find worthy humans to inhabit them. They searched for thousands of years until finding six humans who could wield the power of the zords, leading to the creation of the Aura Gems which later morphed into the Aura Coins, leading to the first team of Aura Striker Rangers. Unfortunately before the Rangers could fully master the power and partner with more zords, their lives were lost in a tragic battle. It would take several more years before more worthy humans were found and granted the power of the gems which had now morphed into Aura Crystals. After Zaron's defeat, the aliens have finally discovered the location of Earth and are sending their forces to rule this planet and seize the power of the zords and the gems for themselves. It is now up to the Aura Striker Rangers to rise again and with the aid of new zords, defeat this sinister threat for the fate of two worlds depend on their victory. ***** Okay guys, here's the final Aura Strikers game to cap off the trilogy. I'm trying something a little different since I normally steer away from zord usage but now, I wanted to give zords not only a larger role in this game but also the expanded universe. I'll be on vacation for a week, so the goal is to have the new Rangers selected when I get back and the game would start soon after. Let me know if you guys have any questions, comments, or concerns.

It was six months ago. The Aura Striker Rangers were locked in hellacious combat with Zaron and in an act of desperation, the Dark Wizard opened a portal, exposing the Earth to treachery across the universe. Together, the six heroes closed the portal and saved the world from certain destruction. While they thought to have prevented any sinister forces from coming through, they couldn't have been any more wrong. When coming through the portal in their Arachnabase, three figures looked on at the battle, watching the battle with great interest. "We should join this battle. Those warriors look to be this planet's protectors and they should be extinguished!" Rindeo spoke. She was an assassin and hunter with a thrill for combat. "Those individuals are locked in combat. It would not be sporting to attack them now. In addition, we have no idea as to what their capabilities are." Zyrosk responded. He was Saivage's right hand man and resident strategist with a penchant for honor and loyalty. "Leave them be." Saivage made the decision. He was an alien warlord with countless planets under his belt as to which he's conquered or destroyed. "We will make our presence known when the time is right." With his words, the alien faction flew away, allowing the remainder of the battle to play out as it did. Now in present day, Eddie Morrison was laying on the beach near the Bunker in Pearl Cove. Over the last six months, the Silver Ranger managed to form better relationships with his teammates that he went into battle with and took time to enjoy life and not be a hero. His heroic hiatus was brought to a halt when he was in Synchro City, aiding SPD against a familiar foe. Feeling a greater sense of relief, there was still a big question mark for him. Without any new or old enemies to fight, what does he do with himself? How does he progress with life? He was about to get that answer soon but it may not be the answer he was looking for. |

Jafaar was walking with his dog, Balto, the wolf/husky hybrid barking happily. Since the battle against Zaron, he had been busy with working on getting his degree in becoming a doctor, helping his mother out at the hospital. Not only that, he had just gotten the word that his father was coming home and he was indeed excited about that. As he walked, Balto barked more as they passed the beach.

Pilar is at the beach playing the "Edge of Dawn" with her guitar. Following the battle with Zaron, she's completing her music degree at Pearl Cove University. As far as her music career goes, she gains enough recognition after her performance last semester and it also helps that her guitar solos on YouTube increases her rising stardom. As happy as she is with her career, she makes sure to keep her life under a low profile since she has her other duty to work on.

Pearl Cove Aquarium. Quaint and quiet in the early mornings as a young man enters through the employee entrance as he usually does. Clocks in for work and goes to his station where his boss has left his routine check list for the morning before the Aquarium opens. As he grabs his clipboard, several employees wave at him and greet him before he heads off to his first stop which is the Sea Lion exhibit. He grabs a bucket of fish from the cooler and walks in the exhibit. The sea lions notice him and begin to cheer and howl. "Easy folks! Good morning to you too!" The light brown haired young man states as he laughs as he begins to distribute breakfast.

In the six months since Zaron's defeat, Jayden had put his nose to the grindstone and finished his book. Retitling it from "Beast Battlers", the offical title was now "Beast War: Battle For Industrium" and it had charted at Number 2 on the New York Times Bestsellers. He'd done signings in his hometown of Ada, Oklahoma, even spending time at home with his parents and getting reacquainted with old friends from college. With the book selling well, the Red Ranger sold his apartment and moved into an actual house in Pearl Cove, thankful that he'd found his friends and managed to keep himself on hte up-and-up.
He pushed a box into the house and laughed, shaking his head. "Oh, man. This is just like that first day in town," he said. Grabbing his phone, he laid back on the floor and opened his camera, getting the box in frame before snapping the picture. "Let's see who's around." He sent a group text with the picture.
<"Look who's back in town! And I brought gifts!"> he sent to the other Rangers, hoping some of them were still around. The former Red Ranger hopped up and hefted the box onto the table, taking his phone out again before ordering some pizza and sushi through a delivery app, and he grinned. "Man. Let's see who responds. Five bucks says Eddie won't."
____________
Sighing to herself, Kiriko Rogers bounced from rooftop to rooftop, chakra pooled at her feet to keep her from falling as she did. A member of hte Hidden Leaf Village, the Jounin was back in her home town of Pearl Cove tracking a rogue Shinobi from the Land of Earth. She'd been here over seven months trying to find the rogue ninja before he caused any problems, but so far she'd been unsuccessful. Having been witness to the Aura Striker Rangers final battle against Zaron, the young woman had kept herself hidden, despite her body screaming at her to get involved and give the Rangers help.
"I did the right thing staying out of it. As much as it pains me, and as much as I wish I could have done something, I would have just gotten in their way. I may be Hidden Leaf, but I'm no Ranger. Leave that for Aaron-kun and the other SRS Rangers. Though they were here just a month before I came. Huh..." she thought, pushing off and rolling to a stop on another rooftop. Standing up, she dusted herself off before jumping down, bouncing between the two buildings and landing in the alley.
Taking her headband off and tucking it into her pocket, the Jounin walked out of the alley, content with her morning exercise before she jogged down the street, heading for her job at the local bakery. "Hmm....wonder if we're making the wedding cake today..."

After a while of strumming her guitar, Pilar hears her phone chiming next to her, prompting her to check it. When she reads the message, she can't help but laugh because Jayden has returned from his visit.
<Welcome back, Jayden! Can't wait to see the gifts!> Pilar replies through her phone before putting it inside her bag for protection. Then she walks over to Eddie to check with him since they're at the same beach.
"Hey, Eddie. Did you get the message from Jayden?" Pilar asks him.

After feeding the Sea Lions their breakfast, his next stop was the Walrus exibit. When they seen the young man enter the exhibit, they did the same as the sea lions as howls could be heard. Then a walrus came and brush up on the young man's leg. "Well good morning, Clyde, I see your ready for breakfast. But we gotta do something first." The young man said as he knelt down and he and the walrus had a special handshake.

Jafaar saw Eddie and Pilar at the beach as Balto continued to bark happily, "Okay, okay, Balto. We'll go see them," he said to the large mutt and approached the two Rangers, "Hey, Pilar! Eddie!" he said.

Eddie's peace and quiet was halted by the combination of Pilar, Jafaar, and Balto, preceeded by a text from Jayden.
<"Cool. Thanks for the info."> Eddie responded before putting his phone back into his pocket. Over time, Eddie has taken on a bit of the sarcasm which are staples of Dr. Connor's personality as well as Titanus, the two people he's spent the most time around over the last few years. It wasn't quite as direct as the two older men but it still had some bite to it, on occasion.
"Hey." Eddie said to those entering his personal space on the beach. "I sent Jayden a response. I guess we'll see him later." He said before laying back down, taking in some sun.

"Sorry, I'm just taking this big guy here for a walk," Jafaar spoke to Pilar and Eddie apologetically, Balto barking lowly.

"No harm done." Eddie reached his hand out as if he was going to shake Jafaar's hand, only to pet Balto on the head. "The good boy can't do any wrong." Eddie smirked as he continued to take in some sun.

"Of course not. Balto doesn't do anything wrong at all. In fact he's happy to see us again after so long." Pilar agrees after greeting Jafaar with a hug and then rubbing Balto's head in a gentle, soothing manner. Then she glances at Eddie, giving him an assured you. "Eddie, if it's okay, I'll stop playing my guitar. I just thought my melodies can soothe everyone's souls, including yours."

"No, it's fine. You don't have to stop playing on my account. I'm still able to relax." Eddie said to Pilar.

Jayden sighed as he collapsed the box the books were in, setting it behind the trash can. He set the books up, knowing each one was already signed for everyone. He looked over as his phone rang, picking it up and seeing his publisher's name pop up on the ID.
"Hey, Pete. What's up, man? Good news I hope?"
"Jay, you will never believe who I have talked to."
"Spit it out, brother. I don't like the guessing games," Jayden said, hoppng up on the counter. "What's the big surprise?"
"Couple of big name studios hit a bidding war for the rights to the book. One wants a live action movie, directed by Sonnenfeld. The others looking to do a full season animated series with some big name voice talent droppin' in on these characters. Told them I'd talk to you since you had final say."
"What're the studios?" Jayden asked.
"Disney and Lionsgate. Disney's pulling for the season, Lionsgate wants the movie."
"Shit. Disney, huh? Goddamn. What are the price ranges?"
"Disney's putting up $25 Million, and Lionsgate wants $19 Million. Told them the choice was yours, but this could make you rich, bubba! Never have to do another book in your life."
"Even though I started putting a sequel together," the former Red Ranger laughed. "Listen, man. Tell Lionsgate thanks, but Disney's too good to pass up. And let the Mouse House know that if they want my book, I get final say on cast and animation style."
"Hey, you got it! We're gonna be gold, big guy! Woo!" The line went dead, and Jayden shook his head.
"Goddamn....already made a couple million off of the book. Now an animation deal from the biggest animation company in the States? Fuck yeah," he said, hopping down. 'Doordash should be here soon....wonder about the others." He looked at his phone and saw responses from Pilar and Eddie, but nothing from Duncan, Marina, or Jafaar.
