I could've sworn someone asked me for Katherine headcanon but I can't find it in the inbox sadly...

Katherine Hillard Headcanons

-Katherine's favorite passtime honestly revolves around collecting things, mainly after becoming a ranger her interest peaked on the mysteries of the world so now her curiosity is unlimited.

-Both her and Kimberly have found ways to split the pink powers via the Thunder and ninja zords of their respective colors thus putting Zordon's research on too much pink power to a rest. However they still try to keep things to a minimum.

-Because of the phoenix properties of her zord Katherine has found good usage of bringing life to plants, she doesn't mind volunteering at an orphanage and with her abilities she's able to secretly make sure none of the kids starve.

-After Zeo she's had a hatred of Artifical Intelligence and Tommy had to keep her from smashing up all the appliances in her house.

-She hates the moon.

-Pink isn't exactly her favorite color, in fact Kat was offered the position as zeo red in secret by Tommy but she declined it.

-After the Zordon Era pretty much everyone went their separate ways for a while and similar to Tommy she found herself becoming a mentor for a group of younger rangers. A team based on constellations who each had a secret archery motif, she later became a red ranger for the squad and needed to have a master morpher developed as things when on(Referencing Kyuranger, free real estate for them😎).

-Katherine and Tommy took a break around the time of Lost Galaxy and didn't get back together till around Operation Overdrive. During this time however she actually dated Hayley Zitkor and throughout that time span Kat didn't find out that Hayley and Tommy knew each other.

-she's been visited around five times by master pink. Reasons are unknown however it's getting creepy so Katherine managed to put a bunch of net traps around her house incase MP decides to pop in randomly.

-Katherine is one of the most skilled individuals when it comes to shooting guns. Not just that but she's been developing weapons for herself incase another Rita problem shows up, double tap that bitch in the head if you have to. She has to be strapped both for her safety and for her friends(Reference to @skyland2703 headcanon from a while back👍🏾)

-her favorite weapon is a crossbow like sniper rifle called Artemis and it has the power to penetrade 40 zords with one bullet. Due to her sneaking around during Forever Red and collecting pieces of Serpentera she was able to use the samples to make the perfect failsafe agaisnt drastic situations.

-Her house is laced in grid vortex bombs, if anything ever happens then she can wipe an enemy of the face of the map.

-Kat's the dude in her relationship with Tommy if you catch my drift😭

-It's not she's capable of getting revenge but more of the idea of her making you regret your decisions in a subtle way. A guy stood Billy up so Kat decided to scratch the guy's car paint and burst his tires.

-In her will when she dies she wants the team to spread her ashes in space or even find a way to bring her back for another 5 years.

-After hearing about the existence of other dimensions Katherine has a contingency plan. If things go to shit then there's other places to find a life in, heck she'd also consider the future or the RPM verse.

-Kat doesn't really talk about it but she has trouble having kids with Tommy. Heck JJ was came 7 amounts early and doctors weren't sure he'd make it so she stayed by his little bed in the hospital for weeks until he was healthy.

-She made sure to tell Tommy not to pass on any of their ranger abilities to JJ. Mainly as their own legacy should be there to influence him, pass on an opportunity for him to build his own choices if he does decide to pursue ranger activity.

-Kat was thrilled when JJ came back from school shouting about wanting to be the pink ranger after seeing a cool video on these heroes called the power rangers. Tommy was uh...well he's supportive but he just didn't want to see his kid being made fun off and tried to lean him to another color but Kat shut that down, both of them came to an agreement that he could be pink.

-She replaced her left arm and right leg with advanced robotic versions resembling regular limbs but this was because she wanted standby weapons to shift out incase of combat.

-People in the ranger community consider her a harbinger of sorts because of her battle prowess and wouldn't back down to beating someone bloody for threatening her family.

-Kat loves a lot of rock and roll music as well as things with a fast tempo.

-She's the one which a driver's license, Tommy's has been suspended after he accidentally backed into an old lady think she was a trash can for parallel parking.

-Zordon having the rangers choose Katherine, Aisha, Rocky and Adam as secondary choices weren't out of coincidence. Centuries ago he tried recruiting their ancestors and secretly kept an eye on them, however at the time humans weren't adept to the grids influence and they became prone to natural exposure and got pretty sick, this was around 10,000 years ago anyway and while Katherine doesn't have much of a grudge against him she isn't hesitant about wanting to shoot that tank.

-Kat is very bisexual, Tommy wasn't exactly her first choice relationship wise and even considered dating Kimberly or Tanya though she's chill with the dude.

-Tommy's dating life honestly confuses her, he dated Kimberly and had a thing with Jason(Frankly that didn't surprise her as she got a bit of fruity vibes from Tommy and thought he was full on gay before being alerted that he dated Kim). Then he dated Anton and had her suspicions on what Tommy was into when she found a picture of him tied up in....compromising positionsBottom. Safe to say for gatherings she has the best stories to tell.

-Her parents very much support the idea of her being a power rangers and her dad keeps asking if she has parties with other rangers....also to get zord figures and autographs from the Lightspeed Rescue team.

-After Adam's mishap with his power coin being damaged she decided to utilize what she learned from the Crane Ninjazord and Firebird Thunderzord to pursue learning things at the Wind Academy and Pai Zhua academy to hone elemental and animal spirit abilities. She gained light related powers along with the spirit of the phoenix, fitting for combat as she can obliterate enemies with swift speeds and vaporizing energy.

-She loves dating dudes that are a tad bit strange or shy, they're just adorable in her eyes. Prime example being Tommy, not sure if he should be offended or flattered by this.

-She watches My Hero Academia and has a great admiration for Bunny's persistence.

-Katherine despises barbie dolls but JJ enjoys getting them as figures for imaginary adventures so she allows for him to have them but the minute one begins moving on it's own she's going to shoot that bitch into oblivion.

-She's an expert with hair and easily takes care or Tommy's locks when needed. It's funny to tie it into a bun though the fact that it's almost waist length makes Katherine jealous.

-due to her powers she developed a way of being able to precisely chuck items and projectiles without even touching them, similar to Diego in Umbrella Academy. This is very useful as she won't need to morph if needed and could drawn weapon from a vault she keeps at home.

-After Trini's death Katherine had to oversee Billy in fear that he might shut down due to all the guilt. She knew well on the topic of the only person who truly understood you in the world was gone and even offered a place at her home incase Minh needed somewhere to stay.

-The reason why Master Pink visited her was because of Shattered Grid almost happening again. She explained to Katherine that no one remembers the event as it was a multiverse related conflict of the past so when things ended everything went back to normal, she tasked Kat will trying to keep things from ever ending up as such. This nearly happened in various ways from Billy trying to bring back Trini or Zordon, a huge Zord fight within Angel Grove, having a rogue being nearly disrupt time and space as we know it. Kind of a crazy burden to leave on someone, honestly she couldn't look at Tommy for 4 weeks upon learning about Drakkon.

-She's not the most religious person but she swears that during a trip to the dentist she was visited by an archer deity. Aisha calls her delusional for this but Kat knows what she saw.

-Stocks are a big thing for her and she even has built up a reputation at wall street. (Kat: I can buy and sell you. Stock broker: Excuse me?)

-Katherine has the falcon zord and uses it as spatial transportation. Mainly to take JJ on trips to see the stars etc, it's also a nice getaway from all the stresses of life.

-At one point in her life Katherine considered becoming a hit man against terrible people with her archery and gun skills...though she's never told anyone this. The idea of taking a life away has crossed her mind here and there, however she goes to Dana for therapy on these feelings.

-Tommy is the cook within the family, he learned how to make a bunch of meals well when he was with Jason. Plus after Katherine nearly burned down an acre of land from their house one night she wasn't allowed in the kitchen for months, she finds it funny coming from the guy who dedicated a semester of his career on trying to remake dinosaur meat from bones.

-Katherine has a sort of ranger secret service for herself that not even Tommy knows about. Laced around the place like regular civilians ready to come to her aid.

-She visited the Mystic Mother and human Zedd just to weigh out the situation between them incase anything happens.

-Considering the last headcanon Katherine wonders if the Z-Wave killed all the evil beings within the universe she wonders if any of those beings that were evil consisted of beings that Zordon considered bad, the thought of some innocent people being killed all those years ago or being brainwashed keeps her up at night.

-She is really wondering if all the stuff during the Zordon Era was truly good. Having to fight an eon long war for a floating head against a bunch of crazy beings doesn't sit right with her, in some ways good and bad are basically moral constructs and she doesn't like to judge people on the way they act. Evil rangers, good rangers, the fact about Drakkon who existed in a past existence also bugs her....sometimes she wonders if JJ will end up doing something crazy as a ranger.

-Death doesn't really scare her but if anything Katherine would like to keep her memory alive, something that JJ could possibly look over in timed when he's sad or down in life.

-Utilizing grid archives Katherine can watch other teams in different dimensions like shows. For instance super sentai and such, currently she's on Dairanger and the minute she saw those zords....(Kat: That bird looks famil-AYO WHAT THE FUCK?!)

Here's a nice underrated King:

My question is:

Why is Rocky DeSantos underrated ?

I wonder this because:

Nobody hated Adam why he replaced Zack

People don't hate Aisha for replacing Trini

Kimberly got replaced by Katherine without anyone pouting

Aisha left, Tanya came in, there were no sign of anger

When Justin replaced Rocky, everyone was silent

When T.J. Replaced Tommy, there were no riot

When Cassie took Katherine's place, no one argued

When Carlos took on Adam's legacy, people didn't threw tomatoes at him.

The room was quiet when Tanya passed her morpher to Ashley

However, Rocky replaced Jason and it scattered to fan's heart to the point of hating him.

Please, if you hate Rocky, hate him for a valid reason.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

Wacky Power Rangers Cross Overs that I've Written or Could Write

Star Wars Original Trilogy:

I took a prompt from KrissyKat on Fanfiction.Net and wrote ten parts before school caught up with me. The team consisted of a much younger Han (blue), Leia (yellow), and Luke (red) (Luke and Leia were 15) and would've also included a young Ezra Bridger (green), Sabine Wren (purple), and maybe Cal Kestis (black). Rex and Ahsoka were set up to be mentors.

Star Wars Clone Wars:

This is based on a fanfiction.net fic I can't find anymore that had Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, and Rex working as Power Rangers via Zordon's lineage. In the version I had planned Obi Wan (yellow), Anakin (red), Ahsoka (pink), Rex (blue), and Cody (orange) where the main five. But this one would've been a Dino-Fury esque season with a lot of extra characters which would've included Plo-Koon (graphite), Wolfee (slate), Fives (navy), Echo (scarlet), and a tenth character I never settled on.

There was also an idea to just make it Cody (mustard), Rex (blue), Echo (scarlet), Fives (navy), and Wolfee (slate).

The Wiggles:

based on Mighty Morphing Power Wiggles by Flakingnapstich on AO3, but more of a legacy idea. In their story the Wiggles were created as a cover for the original four - Greg (yellow), Murray (red), Jeff (purple), and Anthony (blue) to be Power Rangers. As the crew has evolved, I feel like it lends itself to a multi-evolution team like the original Mighty Morphing run.

In this version the Wiggles main four were Power Rangers, and in addition to saving Australia they also operated wherever their tours were, such as the US.

The medical condition that forced Greg to retire in real life back in 2006 was actually the stress of an old injury in tangent with being a Power Ranger and performing. Sam steps up as yellow, then when Jeff and Murray leave Pryce and Lachy step in as red and purple, respectively.

Anthony is our Tommy Oliver character, as he's never left the team.

In the fic Captain Feathersword is the fifth ranger, but I kind of like the idea of having him, Dorothy, the Octopus, and the dog (whose names escape me) be like the spirit rangers of Jungle Fury.

The current iteration with the two of each Wiggle differentiates either by shades of their respective color or by suite design.

I just think it'd be cute to have a little moment with Anthony and his daughter doing a passing of the torch like how the fandom sort of passed the torch to JDF's daughter after his passing.

Bonus points if we get a khaki and olive green ranger and it's just Bindi and Robert Irwin. Super bonus points if Bindi's current husband Chandler ends up being the one running everything back at base (like Alpha in the original or Sam prior to getting the Green Samuari suite in Ninja Storm).

Top Gun

Now hear me out.

The original Ranger team is made up of some of the first Top Gun graduates, as well as other crack pilots. Viper and Duke (Maverick's dad) are two such members. Duke goes down during a fight but is never replaced as a Ranger.

Come Top Gun, Viper's manipulated everything enough to get who he wants in the running or the next Ranger team. Maverick and Goose weren't who he was expecting, but they stand out.

The Rangers work in tandem. Iceman is red, Slider is blue. Hollywood and Wolfman are yellow and green (doesn't matter which to me). Maverick is black, leaving a final color on the table. Initially, Viper holds onto it for himself, serving as a sixth white ranger before he's hurt and passes it on to Maverick's current RIO: Merlin. But as RIO's retire Mav has to keep giving it out. So when he eventually can get into a single seater, he takes the chance, and the Rangers before a five man team.

Iceman had initially wanted to assemble the next team post uranium mission, using Mav's picks, but he knows he'll die before he gets the chance. So he gives Mav the job. Maverick keeps the black morpher and gives Rooster (blue), Phoenix (red), Bob (yellow), Fanboy and Payback (white and green, undecided) morphers.

During a fight, Maverick is injured and realizes how eerily similar his situation is not Viper. So rather than try to keep fighting through it, he gives the morpher to Hangman, making him the black Ranger.

There's also a storyline where the other six uranium mission candidates (who I give the headcanon name of Daggers) get turned into evil rangers a-la the Psycho Rangers. However, once they're brought back they still have their morphers and operate as a second team. Coyote (slate) heads the team with Omaha (maroon), Halo (mustard), Fritz (navy), Harvard (steel), and Yale (forest).

Tombstone

This one just came to me.

The Earp brothers are a team of three: Virgil is blue, Wyatt is red, and Morgan is yellow.

After Morgan's death and Virgil leaving, Doc is given a choice between the yellow and blue morphers. The other two members of their party get the green and black morphers. The morpher Doc doesn't pick is given to the fifth member of the posey. I cannot remember any of their names.

Ninjago

Its very similar to the actual IP, just with Power Ranger ninja suites and their elemental powers come from their power crystals or something like in Dino Thunder. Lloyd is green, Kai is red, Jay is blue, Zane is white, Cole is black, and Nya is aqua.

During the arcs with the elemental masters their ranger identities are just various colors and shades. Tox is lime, Chamile is purple, Turner is cream, Karloff is steel, Neuro is gray, Ash is ash, Jacob is maroon, Gravis is tan, etc. Skylar moonlights as an orange ranger.

With the new Dragons Rising line, Arin and Sora are the next two rangers: Orange and Pink.

Being the son of Tommy Oliver and Katherine Hillard was challenging enough without being the heir to his father's legacy. With his dad recently deceased, left Y/N to look after his mom and little brother, J.J. His mom had wanted him to attend college at Reefside, but Y/N decided to move to New York City and attend school there. Apparently, things were just as bad over there as they were here. Alien invasions. Killer robots. Even that accident that made a lot of people disappear for five years before the Avengers returned everyone back.

Y/N had only taken two of his father's morphers. The Zeo and Green Dragon Zord ones as he tried to keep his life as normal as possible until the day Lord Zedd showed up in New York looking for Y/N as he battled Putties in the streets before being knocked down before he could morph and was saved by Spiderman as he and the webslinger teamed up together. He morphed into Zeo Ranger 5 red. And battled Lord Zedd with a Zeo flying power kick as Spiderman helped him defeat the Putties until Lord Zedd retreated and promised he would be back.

Am I the only one who took issue with the whole Morpher not working for Minh? We literally saw evil clone Billy morph in the tv show they're not the energems they aren't judging who used them. It's unfortunate Trini was killed in this manor just so Minh could be fueled with anger and need to be taught a lesson. Again we could have gotten her the powers by other means or less drastically but that's just my take. It was terrible for her legacy and Billy's as well. He doesn't seem to even care he's like oh well better luck next time....I'm sorry...NEXT TIME?!??!

Oh it's absolutely one of my least favorite things about Once and Always lol it's one of the most blatant examples of the current writers altering previous lore to aid the story they want to tell, rather than building on what was previously established. The Power Coins were never about the users proving themselves to the Coins themselves; it was always about the users proving themselves to the Coins' previous users. And it's especially annoying here because the lesson Minh needed to learn was "killing for revenge is bad" when a) Power Rangers always kills the monsters and more often than not kills the final villain and b) there was no reason to discourage killing the robots. There was no in-story benefit in keeping them alive. They kill them at the end anyway and Zack literally says "this is for Trini" when he kills Robo-Rita. It felt like they wanted to be mature and nuanced but it was just contradictory and shallow

And I know people can make up any sort of technical reason for why the coin wouldn't wouldn't for Minh, between power transfer nonsense or it was Trini's spirit or whatever, but let's be real, the modern seasons have been using this "the users have to prove themselves as true heroes to the power sources themselves" scenario multiple times at this point. It was absolutely their intention here.

I’ve been meaning to make this post for a while but it’s a long post so… have fun

So, the power rangers movie, right?

Garbage.

As someone who watched power rangers growing up and is rewatching a lot of the series it does NOT hold up to its legacy.

All the characters lack any real characterization and they (the makers of the film) know it. Instead of showing us there growth, we are literally told, to our face, the struggles they are going through and how this connects them to each other.

They literally have to force them to interact and have heart to hearts because they lack so much chemistry.

And I think part of that is that they are all the “outcast/loner” archetype. Now, I usually really like this archetype in PR (read Dillon from RPM) but they have every. Single. One of them as this kind of character.

Instead of having a typical group dynamic with a heart, leader, smart guy, strong guy, and lancer, with diverse character archetypes, it’s all just, outcast who used to be popular, outcast with autism, outcast because she sent nudes of her friend to other people, outcast for some reason, and, you guessed it another outcast!

In other PR shows, we have so much diversity in how the rangers are. Like, PR is surprisingly good at having a bunch of completely different people mush together to form a team.

But no. They wanted to be edgy. And they could have been!

Like RPM would have been a great version to base the movie off of since its more mature and, in my opinion, the best power rangers and it is edgy! Almost all the world is dead and the air is toxic and the team is full of really interesting characters who just feel so natural and pretty much everyone had a tragic backstory where someone they care about gets hurt/killed by Venjix and it so good.

If I was the writer for this movie, I wouldn’t have so many outcasts. And I know part of it is they need a reason why they all gathered together and got their morphers, but PR has been putting a group of strangers into unlikely situations in order to form their teams for years but now suddenly you can’t think of a better way to bring them together than “they were all outcasts and didn’t feel connected to the city”

Also, Zordon is a bitch. Sucky mentor who doesn’t tell his rangers shit and doesn’t train them and is just disappointed no matter what they do. He barely changes by the end of it and I. Don’t. Like. Him.

Also, the little robot is not friend shaped. I don’t care what they were going for, it failed.

It’s like the movie runners completely forgot that part of PR is that ANYONE can be a ranger and its not just the angsty, lonely outsiders fated to protect the world.

Also the music choices? Bad. Horrible. I could’ve picked way better song choices and let the audience here it. Seriously, how do they not know how to use music?? Don’t even get me started on when they used the power rangers theme, that was so bad.

They should’ve used a orchestra version that shook your bones. But no, we’re left with an unsatisfying play of the theme that can barely be heard with honestly crappy suit designs that I don’t really like and bland, soulless characters that I don’t want to root for.

Just, why. It could’ve been so good, but it stinks. Especially in comparison to other PR shows like RPM where they were angsty and edgy but still fun and good and able to use fucking music in their show like holy hell how hard is it to turn the volume up a little

Ugh, I am so bitter about it. They all deserved better. They all deserved to be campy. Shit, man.

#rants #power rangers #power rangers movie #i can’t with this movie #and the girl whosent the nides doesn’t really apologize??#like yeah of course you’re being bullied #everyone knows what you did don’t play victim to possibly ruining someone’s life #like bro they aren’t likeable #execpt for Billy but only barely #everyone else is a bitch and needs to calm down with the edgelord bullshit

Protego Pt 4 - Snakes and the Stage

Masterlist here

...

Right off the cover of the morning Ravenclaw paper several people read the story on the Rowena Ravenclaw heirloom vase that had been tucked away and now discovered by Jewels with her highly skilled Morpher eyes that could uncover hidden clues others could never guess to be missing. Even the Grey Lady had praised the teen on the discovery and spread the word on who found her mother’s gifted vase a professor was adding to a special case for display.

She wasn’t trying to locate this, merely had heard from a passing ghost of a misplaced old book of students in clubs from the time her mother was in school, still yet to be located. For the third time in trying to find traces of older generations she had located something precious by chance. All drawing unexpected attention her way when it seemed all the ghosts were after regaling the history of each and how prized they truly were, always with dozens trying and failing to find them.

Praise that became mingled with word on her appearance to remind those the name mislead to just which student had found it. Praise that made its way up to the portrait of Salazaar Slytherin, who had been striding wordlessly from the fifth floor down to the hall outside where the child would soon pass, luring with him every Slytherin student who wanted to see what their founder had chosen to leave his floor for.

“How does she even do it? I get lost on the way back from the Hospital Wing each week and I tried marking the halls with moonlight glowing chalk arrows. Whole school is built to befuddle the mind. Ravenclaw saw to that.” Remus’ hushed utterance to Sirius died in their stop at the end of the hall. To peer over the open archway blocked off with railing when the staircase there had moved to see the pool of Slytherin robe clad students chasing an echo of who was walking about the school.

Together they looked at the other and wordlessly turned to bolt down the hall to reach the next staircase opening to hurry along out of sheer chaos this could stir up they could revel in watch of.

Slow and raspy Parseltongue left the lips of the bald headed founder with eyes that sat deep purple dead on and were neon green from the side, beard grey and long tied in a sleek braid to match his long shimmering robe and boots the toes of were visible out from underneath. Aimed at the crowd of students, namely the maroon haired one who stopped at the simple ‘Good Morning, Miss Jewel’ and flinched out a smile to the founder and repeated it back stopping everyone around her to stare. Notice of the attention of everyone triggered a flash of bright royal blue out over her hair and eyes and pink across her cheeks.

“A Parselmouth, in Ravenclaw!” One of the boys exclaimed and timidly Jewels tried to inch back only to head there were students still there blocking her way. Not five feet away where she had been jostled by a few of the arriving Slytherin students that pooled into every free space within the hall Lily stood silent, eyes swiveling over others to see what might happen without so much as a scoff in support of her sister for uncertainty of how that would fare for herself.

All the girl could do was to listen to the several minutes of comments on all the founder had heard of the latest discoveries. Encouraging more of her wanderings in hopes of finding something of his own that had been hidden for a student much like she had proven herself to be. Something he did not name but hinted to be of great importance to the history of the school and his own great legacy. A search he would be keeping track of and urged her to report to him should she find anything of that nature. And when she assumed her face would light on fire for how hot they had grown during the mostly one sided conversation he simply turned to stride away leaving her in the silent hall that at once erupted in noise. Noise and near demands to know just what had been shared with her by the most reclusive of founders portraits.

“Maybe the hat didn’t take quite long enough, seems a snake has slithered loose of the dungeons.” James sneered.

“I thought only his heirs could talk to snakes,” Peter stated in a look up at his spectacled friend he shadowed whenever possible.

“Explains the eyes,” another boy spoke up from the other side of the students grouped around Jewels’ who felt her chest was about to explode due to the pound of her heart.

Bodies surrounding the cocky teen parted in a firm shove doled out by Narcissa beside her sister Andromeda, the latter who planted a supportive hand on Jewel’s back to say. “Any one of you would be so lucky as to bear blood from this founder’s line. No wonder she has such skill in charms with his blood in her veins. Should anyone have something to say about the line of Salazaar Slytherin you can take it up with any one of the Noble House of Black.”

More bodies were moved by the sisters flanking the stunned newly named descendant of the smirking founder that simply passed beyond sight at the first corner he arrived at, to stroll back to his portrait to sit in wait of more news on this particular heir of his. Not a moment until the trio were inside a clear hallway did the hand move or their place shoulder to shoulder with her.

Narcissa was the one to break the silence as the again maroon haired and purple eyed younger girl looked up at the older students who had helped her. “Muggle-Born or not that gift of speech to snakes is very precious to our family in particular. A great many Wizards can speak to a great many animals. Even have a cousin who can talk to Cockatoos.” Andromeda nodded and Jewels looked between them again. “Clearly you aren’t from just any line, ask your parents to name their ancestors and we can help to trace back through our very expansive family tree to see how you link to Salazaar.”

“I, was adopted.”

Andromeda said, “Even better. When you find the adoption papers just write us your mother name and we will search from that. Much cleaner trace through Witches than Wizards, for obvious reason, pertaining to bloodlines.”

Again all Jewels could do was nod and Narcissa gave her shoulder a pat, “Anyone gives you a hard time you flag one of our family down and we will put a stopper to it.”

“Thank you,” Jewels replied softly as the sisters turned away, trying all she could to not let her hair bleed neon green to show how deeply her own sister’s silence had hurt her.

“What did he say?” Andromeda asked in her own pause to look back that had Jewels stop in place to do the same.

“Oh, said he lost something. Wanted to see if I could find it. Said it was important, but didn’t say what it was.” Jewels stammered back.

“Hmm,” Narcissa replied in a pondering thought to herself, and Andromeda replied, “Slytherin prizes cunning and intuition. No doubt it is a test. Happy hunting.”

All Jewels could do was nod, nod and find a corner to hide away in for a few moments to press her cheeks to the cold stone walls in hopes it might cool her down faster and not look like she had sunburn in the beginnings of a grey stretch of the year. It seemed in her path to study hall she had lost some length to that tether formerly binding her and Lily by the rib, and the slack now had left her wobbling in the hard wind of discovering just who and what she was capable of being here in this odd world alone without Lily there to lead the way. Her sister had admirers and time to fill with friends all her own. A sharp knife wound to heal from at the unfashionable task of making friends just on the person she once imagined herself to be.

Never more than now did she feel balancing atop the edge of a knife, feet bleeding in every inch gained after entrance to a world of magic with just as much vast empty unknown ahead as the Muggle World did to her for a future place in it. Jobs were rarely mentioned, games and clubs too with so much to study up on she had taken to grabbing random books weekly to pour through in hopes of learning something that might make her feel a bit safer.

A hand upon her arm had hopeful eyes turn to land on someone not her sister, a fourth year she shared a room with had a wide smile to ask, “What’s it like? Talking to snakes?”

Questions and curiosity soon bubbled over the study hall she was led to where another student brought out their pet snake to actually learn what the animal thought and felt about the student and others it lived around. More an intriguing experiment than something able to be shunned over.

Out of which a notice of a title on a book today chosen from a library trip had another boy beginning what would be an avalanche of ties of friendship all through her house. Firm and unshakable ties to anchor what she could grow on and inspire confidence to bolster tries to see how far she could go, and where these seven promised years within these hallowed halls could lead her. Hope, finally, without either of her sisters or parents here to see or hinder tries to soar alone and test her true capabilities and what could be gained from them.

“Why do we have to be related?!” Sirius whined plopping face down onto his bed, kicking his feet in frustration at the air until they fell useless again in the end of his wish to do so and he fell back to moping alone.

Remus smirked atop his own bed, answering, “The House of Black is really big. We are even related by marriage a few times removed.”

That only made Sirius huff and look up at his friend mid plant of his chin into the crumpled blanket below his face after he’d knocked his pillow off the bed by accident. “My parents are first cousins, I am not marrying my first cousin!”

“Any of your direct aunts or uncles have her eyes?”

“No, obviously not or we would know who she came from.”

“Then there you go, not first cousins.” Remus answered with a grin.

“That does not help, how am I going to get her to date me if we’re possibly related, Remus?! Muggles don’t like inbreeding how Pure-Blood families have done!”

“Then you know the answer to the dilemma,” gaining a glare in return for the lack of help at that statement. “Find out who put her up for adoption before she does and in the meantime get her to trust you. Build off a friendship, or at least try to not give her reason to hit you like she did James. He still gets dizzy you know, won’t admit it but he does. Nearly fainted last week going up all those stairs in a hurry.”

“Best way to do that is to keep James far away from Severus, but we both know how that will go. Didn’t know the idiot better I’d be more concerned for the girl off how intent he is to land so much as a cider with her post Quidditch match.”

Remus nodded then turned the book in hand and plopped it in the bed in front of his crossed legs luring Sirius to crawl off his bed and join him at looking on at the passage Remus had found to tap with a finger. “And I think I just found the perfect trick to making a map of this school, mischief.” The word and process making the pair smirk and get started to gather all necessary to make not just one map, but four. All that could be used to varying levels of the word so suit all of their needs and wishes.

Minerva outside the study hall was there to be the next one to find the teen who was abundantly intriguing today for so many. “Miss Evans, I was wondering you might consider taking lunch with me?”

“Alright,” she was answered timidly and followed to her private office where atop a small round table the meal was already waiting in private. Space and lack of audience that was enough to coax out true feelings on how the Veela products had been changing how others made Jewels feel. Now to be added with how she felt having learned a new fact about herself and the impact that had on perception of her as well.

“I think, I could be happy here.”

The words made Minerva smile at the timid creep of a grin across the young girl’s lips. “Wonderful to hear. On occasion our students who are separated from siblings, namely twins do have a rough go at the start depending on how intertwined they are. Are there any other areas where you feel might hinder your goals here?”

“Well, I truly don’t know what goal I’m meant to have. Even back home, the world is such a big place, how do you know where you fit in it?” A twitch wider Minerva’s grin spread at this new avenue of confusion she knew she could help with.

“I will say Muggle-Borns to face some difficulties in finding the proper professions. I do have some booklets you can look through in various fields of employment pertaining to each subject we offer here I have compiled myself. As some of the Ministry approved lists can tend to be rather unhelpful unless you have relatives to aid in understanding the whole process and a great many of students like yourself found trouble with it.” She just needed some extra care, a sentiment she would pass on to Albus that night at supper, who she had been keeping atop the progress of one of the troubled first years she mentored, like the other Professors did for their own collective students who chose to entrust them as a mentor.

Yet the Headmaster felt himself drawn to the sister of the young girl Minerva spoke of, curious of how the simply popular girl truly felt to be taking to the school and division from her family. Subtly he brought up Lily and then had the sister added to the subtle check in list for the Head of Gryffindor house. The simple, “I’m fine,” from Lily during study hall had Minerva raise a brow at the fiery haired girl, who turned her head to lift a finger at the group of girls that shared they were saving her a seat.

“I had a word with your sister yesterday,” Minerva started to say and was cut off.

“If this is about the snake thing she’s always talked to animals.”

“Well, no, it was about some booklets I have a spare copy of for you on Wizarding professions to help you adjust to a future outside the Muggle world, should you so wish.”

“Oh, no,” she said with a creeping grin, “One of the boys in Gryffindor, James and his friends are going to be Aurors, sounds like fun. I might do that. And Quidditch, sounds like a fun game.” Widely her smile popped and she turned away from the Professor who let out a disapproving sigh.

“Fun game,” the Bloody Baron spoke aloud in disbelief luring Minerva’s eyes to the eavesdropping ghost, “Clearly someone is overcompensating to cover their separation anxiety.”

“Clearly,” the Professor answered, “How is it the slower tempered child is the least welcoming to assistance?”

The Baron chuckled and stated, “Related to Slytherin past a few confusing hurdles, should the bond with her sister not return to how it once was, she has family. Now the question being from which line, but there is anchoring family ties there to fall back on.”

Family, the word that caught in Lily’s ear. A reminder that after their final classes she was quick to find her sister and Severus for a forced study session outside to shut up the worry of being replaced should the mysterious birth family be discovered and welcoming. Now at least a few days a week on top of weekend study sessions Lily’s friends would eventually pull her away from at their own wishes to spend more time with her to show off more of the school.

Softly Severus huffed as he watched Lily trot off and looked to Jewels saying, “I know a way to the kitchens, hungry?”

“Yes,” she answered and would climb to her feet to walk with him, ignoring as he did the comments from Bellatrix, the third sister of the two who supported her the day her mysterious lineage was outed to the school. That girl’s voiced curiosity on why a Mudblood would be chosen for his affections over someone clearly from a more elevated bloodline, even if just a Half-Blood, as if there was a second Pure-Blood involved she would not have been put up for adoption into a Muggle family’s reach, stung at them both terribly. Not just for the insult to Lily but also for Jewels at his muttered insults in defense of Lily alone with what seemed to be no notice of how his words could hurt her feelings in being reminded again she wasn’t even close to his type while being damn near identical physically to his prized Lily.

Those comments wouldn’t end. Nor would those from an older boy named Dolph, who Sirius would gain his own lengthy bout of detention after being drug off of the older boy that dared to speak lewdly about the sister now trying not to show her pain to the boy she admired so much if only for not rubbing his rejection in her face. Flitwick broke that chain of thought with a grin and step into her path, “Miss Evans, I happened to wonder if you might be up to joining our choir.”

“Oh, I don’t, I’m not good with crowds.”

“That is no problem, perhaps we might simply convince you to audit the club, see how it works for yourself?”

“I, I can do that.” She said with a timid nod that widened his smile and he shared the time he would expect her that night then walked away leaving her to look up at Snape and said, “I seem to be popular today.”

“You are always more popular than you realize.” He replied and nodded his head ushering her on still towards food, ignorant of the grin that crept across her lips at the slight compliment just for her.

Off to the side of the other students inside the hall choir practice was held in Jewels sat atop a stool curious the entire time of why the school had the club at all. But the interestingly lyrics and catchy tune to Flitwick could only grin as she gradually eased into harmonizing with the other students and did choose to hang behind to speak with the excited Professor.

“How did you like it?” he asked having shrank the toads down to hand back to students to take them upstairs to the students who brought them.

“Could be fun,” she said and anxiously tucked her lower lip in her mouth to wet it then asked, “Can I ask,” he nodded in the crack of her voice to encourage her to keep speaking up any form of curiosity to help anchor her into a more researched decision. “Why is there a choir here? I mean, it’s a school for magic, do we actually sing spells or anything like that?”

The mild blush on her cheeks due to her wording had him chuckle and answer, “Much like the Muggle world we have entire fields of entertainment, from sports to all forms of arts. Films, music, dance. While in school it might not seem to be useful now it is an outlet to a very lucrative and prized avenue of professions.” A light seemed to bubble up in her eyes and he continued fighting to not smile proudly at the notion he might have helped her to find a future path to pursue on top of her studies. “Now I will say there are a few magical creatures and cursed items that calm with singing, so it is not entirely without use in other subjects we teach here. In fact in my fifth year class we will touch on items involving music.”

“They really have actors and dancers? Professional?”

“Oh yes,” he said. And waved his hand to show her over to a built in cabinet he rummaged through to fashion a stack of magazines with moving images and enchanted articles that would glimmer or have other effects to accentuate the subject matter stirring a wide grin across her face as he named each of them for her and passed them to her.

“There are a great number of professions, I even included an art magazine as we also do have an Art Club as well. All the way from Medical fields, potion and enchanted item makers and tradesmen for building homes and various repairs included, clothes makers, entertainers, athletes, and the broad spectrum of professions to still explore all we have yet to learn of the Wizarding World not entirely limited to creatures and plants. Why there has been a discovery of some very intriguing trees a broom company is testing to see if they can be modified for use there. Take your time reading through these and should you wish to pursue this field I will take as much time as possible to help you ready for it.”

Cradling the magazines to her chest she replied, “They used to have plays we put on in our primary school and the daycare center back home. I quite liked it. I think I might come back, if you’ll have me?”

“You are always welcome, Jewelia.” Flitwick said and in her next excited nod watched her hurry to leave so she could get back up to her dorm in the tower so she could go through all of them. The new glimmer of hope in the young girl’s eyes had the elated Professor hurry to meet Minerva in her usual tea time before bed to share news of a possible path the other professors would also be intrigued to know about.

So many students could not see past the allure of being an Auror, such a flashy profession with a wide use of topics learned here most would learn require a hefty amount of good grades to achieve a chance at it. So each oddity of a student after a wilder considered area to pursue was often encouraged more to not allow chance to decrease their passion in the field.

She was skilled no doubt in charms and other topics, but always in varying roles those could be useful there, and in the least she could have a fall back side job to pay the bills until she gained traction on stage or on screens. But like most students there was time to influence their plans and they would have to watch and be present for any help required along the way.

Once and Always // Avalon-verse // Chapter 1

Summary - After tragedy strikes, an unlikely young hero takes her rightful place among the Power Rangers to face off against the team's oldest arch nemesis Robo Rita and her husband Zord Zedd.

Prologue

One fateful day in 1993, the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa escaped her Space Dumpster prison and attacked Earth. Five teenagers with attitude had their lives changed forever when Zordon chose them to defend the planet. In the decades since, many more heroes have continued their legacy.

The people of Earth rest easy, knowing their home is protect by Power Rangers.

But in 2023, Angel Grove is rocked by the reappearance of monsters they thought were forever gone…

…

Billy Cranston gasped, forcing his tired body to push itself into a standing position. His entire body ached. Lip split at the corner and a dull ache in his jaw from the scissor kick he hadn't expected from the Putty that wiggled and wobbled in front of him.

Taunting him.

Along with the rest of the putties that converged in a group.

Billy clenched his teeth and fists, glaring at the gray mass in front of him. More, importantly, glaring at the roboticized space with that stood before him. Robo Rita. She cackled, the same cackle that used to haunt his dreams through battle after battle against the forces of evil.

"Any last words?" Robo Rita taunted. She slowly but surely spun her staff in her hands. The red gem at the top gleamed in the sunlight, making Billy wince and look away every time it waved across his face. She chuckled quietly.

"Just a few," Billy replied. He reached down and grabbed his morpher. With gusto, he thrust it forwards. "It's morphin' time! Triceratops!" In a bright blue blast of light, he morphed into the Mighty Morphin' Blue Ranger. For the first time in several years. But it was just like riding a bike, the second he felt the power of the Morphing Grid flow through him, with the suit encompassing him…he was invincible.

Rita growled. Not that she hadn't expected it; she was no stranger to seeing her nemesis in front of her. But even the mere sight of a rainbow color made her circuits fry. "Putties!" She cried. Her minions all turned to look at her. "Grind him into blue dust!"

All at once, the putties leapt forward and attacked Billy once more. He easily fended them off. Knocking them left and right as he worked to get towards the Space Witch. Once he knocked enough putties out of the way, he swung a solid punch towards Robo Rita. She deflected the attack with a swing of her staff, catching Billy on the wrist. His arm flew aside, and she struck him in the side, knocking him to his knees.

"Ugh!"

Rita jabbed him hard in the ribs with the blunt end of her staff. When she pulled her staff back, the putties converged once more, grabbing Billy and threw him to the ground. As he moved to get back to his feet, a yellow light charged around Rita's staff and she sent the energy forward, knocking him in the chest and throwing him across the grassy top of the seaside cliff.

"Why'd you lead me here?" Rita demanded. "Was your grand plan just to die outside in the fresh sea breeze?" She mockingly waved her wand as another breeze blew across them. What would've been an ominous wind if the sky was dark, combatted by the bright sunshine surrounding them.

At that moment, a cascade of light appeared between Billy and Rita. Red, Yellow, Pink, Black, White, Orange, and Purple. Jason Scott, Trini Kwan, Kimberly Hart, Zack Taylor, Tommy Oliver, and Avalon and Bailey Mitchell.

Rita scoffed when she looked at the rest of the rangers that appeared before her. A far cry from previous years where she would've started to quake at the sight of the colorful team. "Oh, you brought friends. Now, it's a reunion!" If it were possible for the already slasher-like smile on her roboticized face to grow wider, it would have.

"Got your distress call," Zack declared, reaching out to help Billy off the ground. Kimberly stood on Billy's other side, hefting him up. "And we zipped here as fast as we could."

"Thanks, Zack," Billy replied. The group turned to face Robo Rita once more.

"Man, that's Rita?" Jason asked.

"I can't believe she's back," Kimberly said.

"Neither can I," Trini said.

"The robo look's not for her," Avalon agreed.

"She'll look better on a junk heap," Bailey said.

"But we can take her!" Tommy declared. The rangers all nodded, falling into their familiar fighting stances. Waited for the first movement to be made.

"Destroy them all!" Rita screeched.

The rangers raced toward the putties and leapt into attack the putties while Billy took on Rita. Jason, Tommy, and Bailey showed off their strong martial arts skills as they fought, taking on each putty that came toward them with a strong offensive. Trini's Praying Mantis style, slightly more on the defensive, had the Putties come toward her while she took them out with ease. Kimberly flipped back and forth—literally—between putties as they tried to take her down, she was just too graceful to be grabbed. Zack slipped in and out of the wiggling putties with his Hip Hop Kido armed with his strong punches and kicks that knocked the putties into dust. Avalon, with all the strength foisted in her, used a very combative fighting style that took out the Putties left and right with ease.

Billy, on the other hand, took on Rita himself. He had never fought her one on one before, and the mechanized version of her wasn't making the fight easy. Every time he moved to make a strike against her, she would parry it. Finally, she knocked him up into the air with a swipe of his legs from her staff.

As he spun around, Billy struck out his elbow, striking her directly in the face. The shockwave of that hit, bone against metal, shot through his body. Like smacking his funny bone times ten. Crouching, Billy looked to Rita's face, which was broken at the jaw, to his elbow. Surveyed the damage. It felt like she had actually bitten him.

The irony wouldn't be lost on me, Billy thought, looking back to her once more. He slowly curled his fingers, flexed them. Hissed through his teeth in pain. Maybe that move wasn't the smartest one you've ever made, Billy.

"Oh, my face!" Rita cried. She ran her hands over her face, from the smoothness of her forehead to the jagged mess just under her nose. With a deeply guttural growl, Rita turned back to Billy, tightening her grip on her staff so hard it sounded like it cracked within her grasp. "I was having fun! But you want to get serious?" Her eyes and the red gem on her staff started to glow a hellish red. "Come on, let's get deadly serious!"

"Oh boy," Billy murmured.

"You know I loved that face. Just like I love all that power in my new robot body." The redness glowed brighter and brighter, though also held a darkish tint to it. As if dark energy was coursing through her veins and into her staff. "But I'll gladly give up some of that energy for a spell that kills!"

A devastating beam of energy erupted from her staff and shot towards Billy.

"Billy!" Trini cried.

Billy turned his head away, raising his arm to shield himself. Waited for the pain. Found it didn't come. He turned and opened his eyes, seeing the exact moment Trini was struck by the blast meant for him, that hefted her up into the air, stuck in the swirling red and black vortex.

"Trini!".

The red-black energy lifted Trini overhead, towards the cliffside before it erupted in a dramatic energy blast that pinned Billy straight to the ground.

"NO!" Jason screamed.

The resulting shockwave knocked the rangers off their feet, destroyed the Putties nearby that were too close to the shockwave. Finally, the pressure relented and the rangers, scrambling to get up, raced to Billy's side. Billy took off his helmet, kneeling down by the cliffside, eyes frantically scanning for any sign of life. Suddenly, he pitched to the side from Jason's shove, where he yanked off his helmet and took Billy's place, searching.

"No…" Kimberly fell to her knees, grasping at the ground with her gloved hands. Tommy knelt beside her, pressing one hand to her shoulder, the other clenched into a fist. Avalon and Bailey grasped at each other. Zack let out a quiet curse under his breath.

Billy lay where he landed, shoved aside, stretched out on his side, breathing heavily, staring in disbelief at nothing.

"Goodbye Trini Kwan," Rita said then teleported from sight.
