Power Rangers: Invasion - A Legendary War Side Story Concept

The following is a very brief, single-post Ranger series idea. Not much in the way of mecha, gear, or any real specifics mentioned, just the general over view of the series storyline.

Episodes 1 - 2:

The Warstar Empire has invaded Earth, and while the largest part of their invasion force targeted the Megaforce Rangers, ships and soldiers were sent across the globe. To defend the Earth, a secret organization known as The Collective calls for an emergency session of its leaders. 16 people in all, each from different nations. One member sits above the other 15 as a sort of arbiter. A plan is crafted, and the arbiter agrees, activating the hidden vault. A wall moves, the vault slides out. The sixteen each use a key to unlock the vault. Inside are various morphing devices, enough for 15 teams and a solo unit. The arbiter takes the individual morpher, while each of the others takes a different team set.

Suddenly the complex is rocked, they've been found by the Warstar forces and are under attack. Enemy soldiers soon burst  into the meeting chamber. The fifteen move to scatter to enact their plan. The arbiter stays behind to fight. He activates his morphing unit.

The arbiter defends the base long enough to allow the others to escape. They remaining fifteen scatter across the globe, each searching for a group of people to turn into Rangers. They find their teams in those fighting back against the Warstar invasion, despite no advanced weapons or powers. The second episode ends with each of the 15 teams morphing and charging into battle, each in a different city around the planet.

Episodes 3 - 17:

Each of these episodes would focus on one of the new Ranger teams specifically, each one foiling a Warstar plot.

Mexico City, Mexico

Las Vegas, USA

London, England

Paris, France

Cairo, Egypt

Berlin, Germany

New Delhi, India

Cape Town, South Africa

Beijing, China

Ontario, Canada

Nairobi, Kenya

Sydney, Australia

St. Petersburg, Russia

Tokyo, Japan

New York City, USA

Episodes 18 - 20:

The teams start meeting up as they all begin to converge on the last few invasion points outside of the area defended by the Megaforce Rangers. Essentially, these three episodes tell of these new Rangers final push against the Warstar Empire, a sort of Mega War analog, happening on a different part of the planet. Led by the morphed arbiter from the first episodes, having survived his defense of the base, the Red Rangers of each team make the final move in the side story, joining forces and getting aboard the secondary mothership of the invaders, destroying it from the inside.

In the end, unknown to the Megaforce, these 15 new teams of Rangers save the planet from suffering serious destruction at the hands of the Warstar Empire's lesser generals, smaller armadas, and legions of foot soldiers. Afterwards, the arbiter decides to allow the teams to remain, though on call to the Collective, and each returns to their original city to serve as their protectors.

Notes:

*As always, names and locations are subject to change, the names and locations used are to get the ideas across better

*This would be a rather fast paced, single season

*Regardless of the original sentai arrangements, the series would use the Gokaiger gender breakdowns, as the series would use a combination of original footage and Gokaiger footage unused in Super Megaforce

*Would be the first Ranger season with no zords or giant monsters

*Each team would have unique morphers and gear

*While gathered on Earth, the origin of each set of powers is unique, as is how The Collective came to gather them

*The end of the series would leave things open for more Collective-based side seasons and mini-series, or guest spots in the main Ranger seasons
