*They were heroes once.

Six teenagers chosen to protect Earth from forces beyond imagination. With courage in their hearts and Zords at their command, they stood between Angel Grove and annihilation. But in their final battle against Neurox the Mind Reaver, the cost of victory was far greater than anyone could bear.

The explosion didn’t kill them. It fused them.

Their minds, their souls—merged with their Zords in a desperate act of survival. No longer pilots. No longer human. They became something else: living machines, titans of steel haunted by fragments of memory and fading emotion.

The world declared them missing. Their families mourned. Zordon said nothing.

Now, deep beneath Angel Grove, the Zords sleep in silence—guarded, forgotten, revered. Sometimes they stir. Sometimes they fight. Sometimes they remember.

And when the need is great—when the threat is too vast for one soul alone—they still remember how to unite.

They become the Megazord.

Not through commands. Not through teamwork. But through instinct. Through pain. Through the last flickers of who they used to be. Cutting to you: You never believed they were gone.

Their absence was a wound that never healed. You remember their voices. Their laughter. Their promise to protect. And when the grief became too heavy, you went for a walk—past the edge of town, through the woods behind the old Command Center ruins.

That’s when you heard it.

Metal clashing against metal. Rhythmic. Familiar.

You followed the sound, heart pounding, until the trees opened into a clearing. There they were—Jason and Tommy, locked in a sparring match like ghosts reliving a memory. The others watched silently: Triceratops, Sabertooth, Mastodon, Pterodactyl. Guardians of a forgotten truth.

You stepped forward.

Snap.

A dry stick cracked beneath your foot.

Jason turned. His eyes flared. He charged.

You fell back, terrified—until Kimberly’s Zord lunged between you, wings flared, voice trembling:

“Jason! Stop! Snap out of it!”

He did. Slowly. Painfully.

And then they saw you.

Not as a stranger. As someone they knew. Someone they thought was lost.

You demanded answers. They couldn’t explain. So Zack stepped forward. Zack Masterdon: "I think it's best if we show you The clearing was still.

Jason had stepped back, his rage faded, his voice cracked with guilt. Kimberly stood protectively in front of the user, wings folded now, her Zord form pulsing faintly with emotion.

The user was shaken—confused, scared, and still clinging to the hope that her friends were inside those machines. That they could climb out. That this was all just... some kind of armor.

Then Zack spoke.

His voice came from the towering Mastodon Zord—deep, steady, but tinged with sorrow.

Zack [Mastodon]: “Think it’s best if we show you.”

The others turned toward him, silent. No one objected.

Zack stepped forward, the earth trembling beneath his feet. He moved slowly, deliberately, toward the edge of the clearing. Then, with a low hiss, a panel on his chest began to shift—mechanical seams unlocking, metal folding outward. slow, deliberate, clinical. But it was empty.

No seat. No controls. No harness.

Just a hollow space, lined with glowing conduits and faint traces of energy—like a shrine to something that used to be.

The user stepped closer, heart pounding. Zack’s voice came again, softer now. Billy [Triceratops] revealed a cockpit lined with diagnostic panels—now dark, lifeless. Trini [Sabertooth Tiger] showed a sleek, agile chamber—empty, but still humming with her quiet energy. Kimberly [Pterodactyl] unfolded her wings to expose a cockpit once filled with grace and precision—now hollow. Tommy [Dragonzord] hesitated, then revealed a chamber pulsing with unstable power—his soul flickering inside. Jason [Tyrannosaurus] opened his chest last. The cockpit was scorched, cracked, and silent. The place where a leader once sat—now fused with fury and memory. Kimberly [Pterodactyl]: “We didn’t mean for it to happen. We were trying to protect everyone.”
