"You all have shown great promise... I know these last few months have been grueling... but it all pays off today! As we are a day away from selecting our new Team of Rangers!" Commander Reynolds said loud and proud as he stood among a small group of SPD Cadets.
It was true, tomorrow the new Squad of Rangers would be selected and Dorian was among the Ranger Hopefuls. He stood with his hands behind his back, chest out, and head held high.
"You're all dismissed!" Reynolds shouted as the Cadets saluted.
"Sir Yes Sir!"
Dorian fist bumped a few cadets as Reynolds made his way over to him. "Cadet Masters."
"Sir yes sir?" Dorian replied immediately.
"At ease... I just wanted to personally let you know that I am proud of the a Progress you have made. It couldn't have been easy... having no family with military experience. Learning everything from the bottom and look at you... top of your class... don't tell anyone I said this but they're thinking of assigning you SPD Red out the gate..."
Dorian blinked and shook his head in disbelief. "Sir that sounds amazing but with all due respect I thought if anything I'd start Blue... ya know... second in command... Isn't Commander Brooks going to lead the team?"
"Oh he very much is but there is a lot of classified information I can not disclose to you... I at least wanted to give you a heads up. Good work out there son." Reynolds tapped Dorian on the shoulder as he began to make his way out before Rick Masters, Dorian's father, entered the room. He gave a nod to Reynolds as he approached his son who saluted him. "Boy you know I don't know a thing about soldierisms... that's a word right?" The two shared a deep chuckle sharing the same dumb sense of humor before Rick playfully tapped his son on the face. "Look at you. Mr. Ranger now."
"Not yet Dad... I don't even know who my team is... to be honest it's a bit overwhelming." Dorian admitted to his father before leaning against a table with his arms crossed.
"Well look at it this way... not only are you about lead a team of cadets with great potential... you'll be shadowing one of the greatest Rangers of all time." Rick responded as he sat next to his son placing a briefcase he was holding on to the same table.
"What's in there?" Dorian raised an eyebrow.
"You know I can't disclose that info Do-Do. But I'll let you in on a secret... it may very well shape the future of SPD." He grinned nudging his son with an elbow.
The two immediately stood up when Commander Joey Brooks entered the scene accompanied by fellow SPD soldiers. Joey gave a smile to Rick not even acknowledging Dorian despite both men saluting him.
"So... Masters... does this briefcase you're holding mean the project is finished?" Joey asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Almost Sir just have to make a few adjustments and it'll be good to go!" Rick responded.
Joey gave a nod before Finally turning his attention to Dorian. "And you must be Dorian... the next SPD Red Ranger."
Dorian gulped as he felt a bit nervous being in the presence of the Legendary Joey Brooks. Dorian knew that Joey was regarded as one of the greatest Red Rangers of his time and fell a need to not mess up his next words.
"Y-yes sir." His voice cracked a bit. Fuck he thought to himself.
"You've shown great promise... I've read your test results watched your battle simulations... If I had been as good as you at such a young age... well I'm sure I'd have even more accolades." He said with a smirk.
"Thank you sir that means a lot to me. Truly. I won't let you down." Dorian said with some confidence almost as if to convince himself more than Joey.
"Oh I know you will... I know you will son." Joey said putting a hand on his shoulder before beginning to leave. "If you both will excuse me I have a meeting to attend to." And with that Joey and the Men he was with continued on into the next room as Dorian and Rick both took took their leave.
Dorian and his father were engaged in a good conversation about what was next for Dorian as the Next Red SPD Ranger when suddenly Rick stopped and smacked his own forehead. "I forgot the schematics to a new cycle I've been designing, I'll be right back." And with that Rick took off back to the war room.
After some time Rick found the paperwork he was looking for but could also overhear Joey speaking to his subordinates. Rick was always a curious mind and moved a bit closer out of eyesight listening in.
"Well it's as I said sir... we anticipate much resistance if we-"
"Lieutenant... what happens to a rubber band after too much resistance?" Brooks said with an eyebrow raised.
"Er... it snaps?"
"Correct... but what about an iron wall?" He followed up.
"Well... the wall most likely wouldn't budge..."
"Correct. You see SPD and more importantly myself... we're the Iron wall... the people of this city are the rubber bands. We will not fold to them." Joey said coldly.
"Whay you're talking about is tyranny Brooks! Putting the city under permanent martial law. People are allowed and owed more rights than you're trying to give them. And the taxes are insane." One SPD official spoke up.
The room grew silent a bit as others were quiet. Joey sighed leaning back in his chair.
"I see... I'm open to other ideas after all It shouldn't fall all on me. Go ahead John... what is your proposal?" Joey interlocked his fingers and raised both eyebrows.
John stood up clearing his throat. "This city is full of people who care about it! Our enemies now refuse to even step foot here and it is definitely thanks to you Joey... but to try and seize control of it? To dictate what these fine people can and can't do? That's not right... your old team would not stand for this... Amy w-"
A single shot was heard and many gasps among the others escaped the lips of those in Attendance.
"Let it be known now... that while I am a calm and understanding man... if anyone speaks of my Wife's name again... their fate will not be as merciful. Now.... do we have any other concerns here?" Brooks asked as he stood up. Not a word from anyone only shaking heads. "Good... meeting adjourned... someone clean that bastard up... Id hate for the floor to be stained." Joey said as the room remained silent but it was due to that silence that everyone heard papers shift and a pen drop as Rick quickly tried to get away unseen. Sadly that wouldn't be the case.
Rick ran full speed with briefcase in hand as he eventually caught up with Dorian.
"Hey dad you think today we can-"
"Not now son we gotta move!" Rick said as suddenly alarms sounded and doors began to close.
"Dad what's going on?" Dorian asked wide eyed before his father shoved a briefcase into his chest.
"Son you must get this to my partner in the Outland Dr. Baker. There's no time to explain but Joey Brooks can not be trusted or get his hands on the Omega Project! Head to the garage take the prototype cycle that looks like this." He said handing him a blue print before pulling his son in for a hug before shoving him to escape the closing door.
"Dad! Dad! What the hell are you talking about?! DAD!!!" He slammed his fist on the glass door as he watched his father turn around, Joey and his men walking into the hall.
"....Rick.... I know you think you know what's going on-"
"What's going on is you're a murderer Joey. Many of us knew something was off when you lost your team and Amy... but you've gone too far!" Rick said standing his ground.
"Rick... where is the Omega Project..." Joey pulled out his blaster. "I won't ask again."
"You'll never have it..." Rick looked back one final time at Dorian who looked terrified and confused as his father mouthed the words 'I love you'. Then several shots were heard and seen as Rick dropped to the floor. Joey looked up and his eyes widened a bit finally seeing Dorian who looked back with horror and hatred.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Dorian punched the glass as he and Joey gave each other a death glare. Dorian then took off heading towards the garage as Joey quickly tried to override his own security to try and get to Dorian.
The garage door swung open as Dorian looked around for a means to escape when his eyes were fixated on the very vehicle his father had been working on. The Uniforce Cycle.
Dorian ran to it pressing a few buttons as the handle bars began to scan and register Dorian's prints syncing with the young man as he hopped on with the briefcase secure. A single blast nearly missed Dorian's head as he turned to see a few SPD Grunts firing as the garage door began to close.
Dorian revved up the cycle before peeling out tilting over as he grinded against the floor managing to slide under the door before it closed on him and with that Dorian soon was on tje road tears in his eyes as he sped through town into tje outlands.
The Outland was a dangerous place as it was the only area that SPD couldn't touch. Everyone here was an outlaw or criminal or worse. Dorian knew at the very least Joey would be hesitant to look there even if he suspected him there.
Dorian sighed eventually parking his cycle outside of a tavern and hopped off as his search for Dr. Baker began. He walked into the bar and immediately received death stares. He was still in his SPD uniform and police weren't exactly percieved well here.
Dorian walked right up to the bartender ignoring everyone's gaze.
"I'm looking for a Dr. Baker? Any idea where I can find him?" Dorian asked leaning on the bar as the Bartender remained silent and simply stared. Dorian sighed as a few men and humanoid aliens walked up behind him.
"You lost little boy?" A boar like mutant asked tapping Dorian's shoulder.
"Yeeeeh we don't get SPD scum in these parts often... what is this some undercover mission?" A hairy giant of a man asked with a smirk.
"Oh... you too good to talk to us? Maybe you'd be better off taking off on your... phew now that's a beauty... tell ya what... give us that Cycle and we'll let you go back to your precious SPD headquarters" The Boar said.
"Don't touch that." Was all Dorian said without even looking up as the three thugs scowled before the Boar gripped his shoulder.
"What did you say to-" he was cut off by Dorian twisting his wrist snapping it and being Judo thrown over the bar stand and into the wall of booze. He spun around giving a push kick to tje giant before delivering a roundhouse to the third thug who was a built Hercules looking man but instantly knocked him out.
The Giant came charging but Dorian did a forward roll under a clothesline attempt and kipped up onto his feet jumping straight up connecting with a knee to the jaw! Another knock out.
The boar, despite seeing his friends out decided to try and swing at Dorian only to get kicked in the wrist now breaking that one as Dorian finished him off with a spin kick to the temple!
Dorian dusted himself off as he pulled out a small stack of cash. "Sorry... this should hopefully cover damages... now again... Do you know where I can find Dr. Baker?"
The bartender blinked and looked scared before pointing to the other side of the room as an elderly man who was watching everything with an amused expression.
"I'm Dr. Baker... to what pleasure do I owe an officer of SPD?" The man asked as the room was silent a bit but everyone began to chatter again mostly taking about the three who got their asses handed to them.
"You wete partners with my father Rick Masters... my name is-"
"Dorian? My how you've grown up... I didn't even recognize you." Baker said almost teary eyed.
"You... you know who I am?" Dorian asked puzzled as he sat down accrosa from the man.
"Oh yes your father talked about you all the time! Some days that woulf be the whole conversation! No one could tell him a damn thing when it came to you! How is je these days? We haven't had a chance to speak for some time." Baker asked as Dorian looked to the floor immediately letting Baker know something was wrong.
"He... he was murdered Dr. Baker.... 4 hours ago actually...." Dorian's tone was hushed and grief stricken.
The two were silent for a moment as Baker sighed placing a hand on his forearm. "I'm so sorry Dorian... he was one of the best men I've ever had the pleasure of knowing."
"He... he wanted me to get this to you." Dorian said placing the briefcase on the table as Baker glanced around.
"Not here... in my lab... come with me."
The two left the tavern as Baker pressed a button on his wristwatch as a giant truck drove itself over to them.
"You can park the Uniforce Cycle inside." Baker beamed watching checking out the vehicle.
"You know about it?" Dorian wheeled it over.
"Know about it? Hell I made the blueprints for it!" Baker said opening the door.
The two were soon on their way making it to a small cave. Dorian raised his eyebrows thinking nothing of it but soon the ground began to split and lower revealing a giant ramp. They found themselves underground parked in a garage and soon a lab with what looked like thousands of gadgets and equipment as well as blueprints everywhere. Dorian was amazed and looked with awe at everything he was seeing.
"This is incredible!" Dorian was amazed by everything he saw as he walked around.
"Yes... a couple years ago I broke away from SPD... see I wasn't a fan of making weapons anymore... I would have rather built more vehicles and robotic animals!" Baker explained. "Especially after The Rangers fell... I knew I didn't want to be around for any more of friends or allies to be killed... The Omega Project was the last thing your father amd I ever worked on together... I would give him the schematics and he would use the materials at his disposal to help create a warrior that would be SPD's greatest force to be wreckoned with. A tool to help end all wars." Baker opened the briefcase revealing a morpher.
"That's... a morpher... you guys... were trying to create a new Ranger..." Dorian gasped.
"Well... we were hoping to give it to Joey Brooks.... but seems from what you've told me That's the wrong option... this is a problem..." Baker sighed.
"Then we should destroy it because is Joey gets his hands on it... the city is in trouble..." Dorian reasoned.
"You're right... it's best we-" Baker was cut off by a woman's scream.
"Help me! Somebody!" A young woman yelled at the top of her lungs as Baker pressed some buttons on a monitor as indeed a young woman was being surrounded by a group of thugs who were dressed in similar threads as the thugs he had taken down earlier.
"What the hell?" Dorian muttered under his breath before taking off as Baker blinked in confusion before following suit and snatched the Briefcase.
"HEY!' A voice called out as the thugs all turned to see Dorian standing with his arms folded.
"Stay at this pig" a thug ordered. "This woman owes us for protection, and ya ain't got no jurisdiction over here!"
All 7 thugs walked up with their chests puffed out.
"Protection? Doesn't look like much protection, looks more like extortion to me. And thats not how ya treat a lady. Did your moms not raise you? If so... a shitty job was done." Dorian smirked.
"What you say about mama?" A mutant spoke up and cracked his neck.
At that point there was no more time for words as Dorian ducked under a clothesline from a goon befofe hitting a double kick onto one.
Another grabbed his shoulder from behind but he shimmied under the arm and spun wildly with a kick to the side of the face! 2 down 5 to go.
Dorian pushed kicked off of a fresh goon and backflipped through the air landing on the shoulders of another before sending him flying with a lucha wrestling hurricanrana! He landed on his feet and connected with a vicious uppercut to another! 3 left.
He threw a kick to the chest of another goon using him as a base to spin in the air towards another one as he connected with a double hammer fist. That left the big guy.
Dorian threw a kick but it was caught by the beast standing in front of him. The creature sent Dorian flying into a broken down truck.
"Ha! Should've kept your nose out of The great Honeg's business!" Honeg cackled as the woman looked on in horror because he started heading her direction.
"...Honeg?... What kinda thug name is Honeg? Sounds weak to me." Dorian said getting to his feet as Honeg grumbled turning back around as he then rushed Dorian with a knee to the gut and a forearm to the back. Dorian was tossed again to the side as Honeg fired a laser beam from his eyes to him as huge explosion followed suit. Baker watched on from a safe distance but was biting his lip out of concern as he kept looking at the briefcase before sighing a bit and opening it up.
"You're done kid... your time is up SPD scum!" Honeg shouted as he saw that Dorian was struggling to stand the woman was trying to use the time to escape but Honeg put a foot on her spine!
Dorian groaned holding his ribs when suddenly out of the corner of his eye he saw Baker waving at him. Then Baker slid a morpher his way. Not just any morpher... it was the very one in the briefcase! Dorian exchanged a look with Baker before snatching the morpher up and strapping it to his wrist.
"Hey Ugly!" Dorian called out as Honeg grunted but turned around. He then stood dumbfounded seeing Dorian had a morpher. Dorian spit out sone blood before pressing a button on the morpher.
"Voice recognition activated. State name please." An electronic voice spoke from the morpher.
"Dorian Masters."
"Voice pattern acknowledged. Morphing Sequence engaged.
"SPD.... Emergency!" Dorian called out as a bright white light surrounded him as Baker watched on mouth dropped to the floor as Dorian was soon covered in the light and then stood before everyone as a Power Ranger.
SPD Omega Ranger!"
Dorian clenched his hands a new power flowing through him as he stared at his gloved hand. Honeg snarled and charged at Dorian throwing a punch at him but stood dumbfounded when Dorian grabbed his fist and held him there.
"Chill... let me get adjusted to the new threads..." The New Omega Ranger said coldly as he lifted the mutant up and gave a couple kicks to his sternum and then sent him flying with a side kick to the chest, sending him into a wall.
"Dorian rev the morpher for different modes! You'll like this part too!" Baker said with a smile watching his and Masters' work come to life in the form of his son.
Dorian obliged as he extended the handlebar like gadget on his morpher and revved it as the morpher lit up. "Electro Mode Engaged"
Dorian's whole right arm began to crackle and light up as Honeg managed to stand up just in time to be hit with a lightning punch from Dorian. He then was struck with a bicycle kick follwed by a lightning slash. The power was too much for Honeg as he fell back and a large explosion followed suit. Dorian turned his back to it. As he walked away to help the young woman up.
The thugs he had dealt with earlier had witnessed the whole thing and began to scurry away.
Dorian knelt down and helped the woman to her feet. "There you are miss.. get somewhere safe."[/b]
The lady overcome with emotion hugged Dorian tightly as she hurried off. Dorian powered down as the suit fell away before Dr. Baker ran up.
"Wow! I didn't know if it'd work but you surpassed what I thought you'd be capable of... Dorian my boy... congratulations you are the first ever Omega Ranger!"
Dorian shrunk back to regular size but his body shined a bit brighter. Joey would have trouble keeping up with Dorian's movements as his speed and strength had doubled. Dorian connected with knees, forearms, and punches causing the red Ranger to stumble back.
One more rev of the Morpher as Dorian's body began to glow again. "Light Beam Mode!" Dorian began to charge a beam of energy in his hands before blasting Joey point blank in the chest! A huge Explosion erupted all around hin as Joey fell hard!
Dorian Revved his morpher again rage in his heart wanting nothing more than to end the life of the man he once looked up to. However a warning beep was heard from the morpher and red lights flashed. "What the hell..." he grimaced as Baker came into the intercom.
"You've used the Omega abilities too many times with no breathing room! My calculations say you can only do each mode once but if you do it like that you're limited to 3 uses in general! Slow down Dorian!"
Dorian was then blasted in the chest as Joey combined his blasters together. Dorian clutched his chest as Joey staggered to his feet.
"You...insignificant worm... you are nothing... You are no hero... you couldn't even save your own flesh and blood... the power of the Omega Ranger... should be MINE!"
Dorian clenched his fist as he got to all fours. He shook his head as he got to a standing base. "Shut... up..."[//color]
"You're weak... Just like your father... you're all afraid of actual power... of making the hard choices..."
"I SAID SHUT UP!" Dorian shouted as ge began to rev his morpher.
"Dorian no! You'll overload the system!" Dr. Baker shouted in the intercom but Dorian ignored him.
"HYPER MODE!"
Joey blinked and the next minute he was on the floor holding his chest as ribs a bit of his sternum wete cracked and caved in. Dorian had been moving at such an extreme speed time seemed slow for him. As he began to lay in punch after punch onto Joey. But to his surprise Dorian was laid out across from him. He did indeed overload the system and the strain on his body was too much.
Joey coughed up blood underneath his helmet as neither men was able to move much suddenly Baker rolled up in his truck hopping out and scooped up a demorphed Dorian. He traded a glance with Joey and shook his head as soon they were off and out of sight. Joey laid there thoughts racing through his mind as he heard a groan. It was Dorians mother. She was still alive. But this would be something Dorian would never learn.
And because of this Dorian would soon be on a mission to change his future.
See how this story ends on Power Rangers SPD Galaxy Wars!
It was true, tomorrow the new Squad of Rangers would be selected and Dorian was among the Ranger Hopefuls. He stood with his hands behind his back, chest out, and head held high.
"You're all dismissed!" Reynolds shouted as the Cadets saluted.
"Sir Yes Sir!"
Dorian fist bumped a few cadets as Reynolds made his way over to him. "Cadet Masters."
"Sir yes sir?" Dorian replied immediately.
"At ease... I just wanted to personally let you know that I am proud of the a Progress you have made. It couldn't have been easy... having no family with military experience. Learning everything from the bottom and look at you... top of your class... don't tell anyone I said this but they're thinking of assigning you SPD Red out the gate..."
Dorian blinked and shook his head in disbelief. "Sir that sounds amazing but with all due respect I thought if anything I'd start Blue... ya know... second in command... Isn't Commander Brooks going to lead the team?"
"Oh he very much is but there is a lot of classified information I can not disclose to you... I at least wanted to give you a heads up. Good work out there son." Reynolds tapped Dorian on the shoulder as he began to make his way out before Rick Masters, Dorian's father, entered the room. He gave a nod to Reynolds as he approached his son who saluted him. "Boy you know I don't know a thing about soldierisms... that's a word right?" The two shared a deep chuckle sharing the same dumb sense of humor before Rick playfully tapped his son on the face.

The two were soon on their way making it to a small cave. Dorian raised his eyebrows thinking nothing of it but soon the ground began to split and lower revealing a giant ramp. They found themselves underground parked in a garage and soon a lab with what looked like thousands of gadgets and equipment as well as blueprints everywhere. Dorian was amazed and looked with awe at everything he was seeing.
"This is incredible!" Dorian was amazed by everything he saw as he walked around.
"Yes... a couple years ago I broke away from SPD... see I wasn't a fan of making weapons anymore... I would have rather built more vehicles and robotic animals!" Baker explained. "Especially after The Rangers fell... I knew I didn't want to be around for any more of friends or allies to be killed... The Omega Project was the last thing your father amd I ever worked on together... I would give him the schematics and he would use the materials at his disposal to help create a warrior that would be SPD's greatest force to be wreckoned with. A tool to help end all wars." Baker opened the briefcase revealing a morpher.
"That's... a morpher... you guys... were trying to create a new Ranger..." Dorian gasped.
"Well... we were hoping to give it to Joey Brooks.... but seems from what you've told me That's the wrong option... this is a problem..." Baker sighed.
"Then we should destroy it because is Joey gets his hands on it... the city is in trouble..." Dorian reasoned.
"You're right... it's best we-" Baker was cut off by a woman's scream.
"Help me! Somebody!" A young woman yelled at the top of her lungs as Baker pressed some buttons on a monitor as indeed a young woman was being surrounded by a group of thugs who were dressed in similar threads as the thugs he had taken down earlier.
"What the hell?" Dorian muttered under his breath before taking off as Baker blinked in confusion before following suit and snatched the Briefcase.
"HEY!' A voice called out as the thugs all turned to see Dorian standing with his arms folded.
"Stay at this pig" a thug ordered. "This woman owes us for protection, and ya ain't got no jurisdiction over here!"
All 7 thugs walked up with their chests puffed out.
"Protection? Doesn't look like much protection, looks more like extortion to me. And thats not how ya treat a lady. Did your moms not raise you? If so... a shitty job was done." Dorian smirked.
"What you say about mama?" A mutant spoke up and cracked his neck.
At that point there was no more time for words as Dorian ducked under a clothesline from a goon befofe hitting a double kick onto one.
Another grabbed his shoulder from behind but he shimmied under the arm and spun wildly with a kick to the side of the face! 2 down 5 to go.
Dorian pushed kicked off of a fresh goon and backflipped through the air landing on the shoulders of another before sending him flying with a lucha wrestling hurricanrana! He landed on his feet and connected with a vicious uppercut to another! 3 left.
He threw a kick to the chest of another goon using him as a base to spin in the air towards another one as he connected with a double hammer fist. That left the big guy.
Dorian threw a kick but it was caught by the beast standing in front of him. The creature sent Dorian flying into a broken down truck.
"Ha! Should've kept your nose out of The great Honeg's business!" Honeg cackled as the woman looked on in horror because he started heading her direction.
"...Honeg?... What kinda thug name is Honeg? Sounds weak to me." Dorian said getting to his feet as Honeg grumbled turning back around as he then rushed Dorian with a knee to the gut and a forearm to the back. Dorian was tossed again to the side as Honeg fired a laser beam from his eyes to him as huge explosion followed suit. Baker watched on from a safe distance but was biting his lip out of concern as he kept looking at the briefcase before sighing a bit and opening it up.
"You're done kid... your time is up SPD scum!" Honeg shouted as he saw that Dorian was struggling to stand the woman was trying to use the time to escape but Honeg put a foot on her spine!
Dorian groaned holding his ribs when suddenly out of the corner of his eye he saw Baker waving at him. Then Baker slid a morpher his way. Not just any morpher... it was the very one in the briefcase! Dorian exchanged a look with Baker before snatching the morpher up and strapping it to his wrist.
"Hey Ugly!" Dorian called out as Honeg grunted but turned around. He then stood dumbfounded seeing Dorian had a morpher. Dorian spit out sone blood before pressing a button on the morpher.
"Voice recognition activated. State name please." An electronic voice spoke from the morpher.
"Dorian Masters."
"Voice pattern acknowledged. Morphing Sequence engaged.
"SPD.... Emergency!" Dorian called out as a bright white light surrounded him as Baker watched on mouth dropped to the floor as Dorian was soon covered in the light and then stood before everyone as a Power Ranger.
SPD Omega Ranger!"
Dorian clenched his hands a new power flowing through him as he stared at his gloved hand. Honeg snarled and charged at Dorian throwing a punch at him but stood dumbfounded when Dorian grabbed his fist and held him there.
"Chill... let me get adjusted to the new threads..." The New Omega Ranger said coldly as he lifted the mutant up and gave a couple kicks to his sternum and then sent him flying with a side kick to the chest, sending him into a wall.
"Dorian rev the morpher for different modes! You'll like this part too!" Baker said with a smile watching his and Masters' work come to life in the form of his son.
Dorian obliged as he extended the handlebar like gadget on his morpher and revved it as the morpher lit up. "Electro Mode Engaged"
Dorian's whole right arm began to crackle and light up as Honeg managed to stand up just in time to be hit with a lightning punch from Dorian. He then was struck with a bicycle kick follwed by a lightning slash. The power was too much for Honeg as he fell back and a large explosion followed suit. Dorian turned his back to it. As he walked away to help the young woman up.
The thugs he had dealt with earlier had witnessed the whole thing and began to scurry away.
Dorian knelt down and helped the woman to her feet. "There you are miss.. get somewhere safe."[/b]
The lady overcome with emotion hugged Dorian tightly as she hurried off. Dorian powered down as the suit fell away before Dr. Baker ran up.
"Wow! I didn't know if it'd work but you surpassed what I thought you'd be capable of... Dorian my boy... congratulations you are the first ever Omega Ranger!"
6 Months Later[/center⁰
The secret opening to Dr. Baker's underground base opened as the Omega Ranger came driving down the ramp as Dorian de-morphed
"How's it coming along?" Dorian asked
Dr. Baker wiped his forehead with a hand towel as he stepped away from a giant chamber.
"I think with a few more kinks we'll have it up and working! I gotta tell you Dorian... your father and I were never sure about this... if it would work I mean. Time Travel is a lot of factors. One wrong move your body gets evaporated into tiny molecules." Baker said
"Yeah well... it's only a back up in case I can't get this done." Dorian let out a sigh as he turned his attention to the television and his eyes widened as Joey Brooks was on the screen. "Turn that up."
Baker grabbed the remote turning the volume up.
"Now I don't know where this Omega Ranger is... but he's working outside of SPD jurisdiction and quite frankly illegally." Brooks was saying. "Dorian... I know it's you... now I don't know what it is you think you're doing..."
Suddenly a woman was brought into frame handcuffed and a cloth gag in her mouth.
Dorian was visibly horrified as he was now witnessing his mother being held captive.
"Bring me the omega morpher Dorian... or your mother will suffer the same fate as Dr. Masters..."
"That son of a bitch... he's not even bothering to hide who he really is now." Dorian said through clenched teeth.
"What are you going to do?" Baker asked fearfully.
"I'm going to finish this." Dorian hurried to his Uniforce Cycle as he revved it up and peeled out of the base.
In what felt like only a few moments becausr of the speed he was going Dorian arrived in the scene to Joey who had his arms crossed.
"Dorian so glad you could make it" Joey said smugly.
"Let her go you bastard." Dorian was in no mood for games.
"First the morpher." Joey said scowling.
Dorian looked at his morpher sighing as he slowly began to undo the strap. "What the hell happened to you Joey... you were a hero... I know you lost your team but this is no reason to do any of this!"
"You have no idea what it means to lose.... oh wait... you do!" Joey chuckled to himself.
"You are sick... What would Amy say?" Dorian asked and there was dead silence as Joey's eye twitched and lip quivered as rage took over as he shot Dorian's mother through the chest dropping her immediately. Joey blinked as he hadnt intended to kill her just yet as Dorian's heart and mind snapped.
"NOOOOOOO!" Dorian pressed the button on his morpher as Joey pulled out his own morpher both men shouting in unison
SPD EMERGENCY!
Both men charged each other. Dorian threw a high kick which was caught by the Veteran Joey who spun the Omega Ranger around and elbowed him in the spine. Dorian delivered a roundhouse that caught Joey in the chest but Joey fired back with a bicycle kick sending Dorian back with a sliding halt.
Joey twirled his delta blasters firing a barrage if shots at Dorian who revved his morpher a couple of times. "Muscle Mode!"
[/b] Dorian's physique grew twice his normal size as he tanked the blasts and grabbed Joey by the chest plate amd threw him to the side of a car. He then dropped a hammer fist but Joey rolled out of the way as Dorian smashed the car in half. He then revved the morpher again. Charged Up Mode!"The secret opening to Dr. Baker's underground base opened as the Omega Ranger came driving down the ramp as Dorian de-morphed

Joey twirled his delta blasters firing a barrage if shots at Dorian who revved his morpher a couple of times. "Muscle Mode!"
Dorian shrunk back to regular size but his body shined a bit brighter. Joey would have trouble keeping up with Dorian's movements as his speed and strength had doubled. Dorian connected with knees, forearms, and punches causing the red Ranger to stumble back.
One more rev of the Morpher as Dorian's body began to glow again. "Light Beam Mode!" Dorian began to charge a beam of energy in his hands before blasting Joey point blank in the chest! A huge Explosion erupted all around hin as Joey fell hard!
Dorian Revved his morpher again rage in his heart wanting nothing more than to end the life of the man he once looked up to. However a warning beep was heard from the morpher and red lights flashed. "What the hell..." he grimaced as Baker came into the intercom.
"You've used the Omega abilities too many times with no breathing room! My calculations say you can only do each mode once but if you do it like that you're limited to 3 uses in general! Slow down Dorian!"
Dorian was then blasted in the chest as Joey combined his blasters together. Dorian clutched his chest as Joey staggered to his feet.
"You...insignificant worm... you are nothing... You are no hero... you couldn't even save your own flesh and blood... the power of the Omega Ranger... should be MINE!"
Dorian clenched his fist as he got to all fours. He shook his head as he got to a standing base. "Shut... up..."[//color]
"You're weak... Just like your father... you're all afraid of actual power... of making the hard choices..."
"I SAID SHUT UP!" Dorian shouted as ge began to rev his morpher.
"Dorian no! You'll overload the system!" Dr. Baker shouted in the intercom but Dorian ignored him.
"HYPER MODE!"
Joey blinked and the next minute he was on the floor holding his chest as ribs a bit of his sternum wete cracked and caved in. Dorian had been moving at such an extreme speed time seemed slow for him. As he began to lay in punch after punch onto Joey. But to his surprise Dorian was laid out across from him. He did indeed overload the system and the strain on his body was too much.
Joey coughed up blood underneath his helmet as neither men was able to move much suddenly Baker rolled up in his truck hopping out and scooped up a demorphed Dorian. He traded a glance with Joey and shook his head as soon they were off and out of sight. Joey laid there thoughts racing through his mind as he heard a groan. It was Dorians mother. She was still alive. But this would be something Dorian would never learn.
And because of this Dorian would soon be on a mission to change his future.
See how this story ends on Power Rangers SPD Galaxy Wars!
