Today I finished Chapter 16 of my story. In this chapter, we see what happens to the Dark Stone after Agent X teleported it. It was teleported to Universe F, where it crash landed on a planet known as Orgaan, where the New Republic was engaging the Sith Empire. It was found by a team of Sith Troopers (the foot soldiers of the Sith Empire) and then brought to Darth Havoc, a Sith Lord who is leading the forces on the planet. Due to the massive amount of Dark Energy, it amplified Darth Havoc's power (since he uses the Dark Side of the Force), allowing him to push back the Republic forces to the point of retreating from the planet. Later, an officer informs Darth Havoc that the Supreme Leader is pleased, but now needs his troops to go to another planet. Darth Havoc disagrees, and believes with this new power, he can end the war once and for all. He then orders the officer to plot a course for Coruscant (the home world of the New Republic). This is where the chapter ends.
At first, I wasn't sure of including this side story at all, but I realized that the next chapter (where the team tries to stop Darth Havoc) would cause a lot of confusion about what's going on, so I decided to add it in.

Today, I finished Chapter 15 of my story. This chapter is the second side story of the book. It's set in the Morphing Universe (Universe M), where Agent M, who is worried about the others because he hasn't been able to contact them. Agent N lures him into a trap by releasing Kayren, one of the first power rangers (more on that later). Agent M knows he can't allow Kayren to be released, so he attempts to stop N. However, by the time he gets there, he's too late. Kayren is released and Agent N leaves him to deal with Agent M. After leaving, Kayren fights Agent M. Agent M attempts to fight back, but is quickly stopped by Kayren. Wanting revenge for being imprisoned for centuries, Kayren destroys Agent M's helmet and leaves him to die. Since his helmet was broken off earlier in the fight, Agent M is suffocating due to the lack of air (since he's on Mars). Before dying, Agent M tells his A.I. to launch the contingency plan. Granting his master's dying wish, the A.I. launches a watch-like device to Earth, where someone worthy will find it.
We then meet Brandon Riley, who is walking in a forest at night. He sees a meteor crash in the forest, and goes to investigate. When he gets to the meteor, all he finds is a watch. Reaching for it, the watch scans and latches onto him. Trying to get it off, the watch activates and he is transformed into a power ranger. This is where the chapter ends.
Universe M (the Morphing Universe) is based off of Saban's Power Rangers series. In this Universe, there is a power source known as the Morphing Grid. This power allows people to transform into Power Rangers. I really wanted to keep the original power rangers and the 2017 versions, so in this story, they exist in different dimensions (sub-universes). Basically, Agent M had the power of the entire Morphing Grid, and could basically turn into any power ranger. During his time as a Protector, Agent M realized the potential of the Morphing Gird, and chose a group of people to make up a team powered by the Morphing Grid. This team would become the first Power Rangers.

Today I finished Chapter 14 of my story. In this chapter, the team finds out they're stranded on Universe T, and must fight off the Titans while Agent X replaces the power source along wit the rest of the ship. Throughout this chapter we see the team both using team work and fighting by themselves. Ethan, knowing how to fight the Titans, takes charge of the mission and leads the team in destroying the Titans.
While fighting the Titans, Ethan is informed by his Core's A.I. that he is able to use his growing ability (the Core's/Universes special ability). Ethan then activates his Core and begins to grow, allowing him to defeat Titans easier. While this works for a short time, Ethan is informed by his A.I. that the Core is beginning to overheat, and he must deactivate the growing function if his Core is able to keep the other features online. Ethan decides to deactivate his ability, and once again the team are being overrun.
While they are able to stop the Titans, more and more keep coming, the team finds out that the ship will take a little longer to fix. Seeing more Titans coming, Ethan leads the team towards a forest, where they will gain the upper hand against the Titans.
Once reaching the forest, Ethan has the team split up to make it easier to stop the Titans. We first see Ethan using his o.d.m. gear to easily stop the Titans following him. We then see John use his gear to stop the Titans following him. We then see Ben use his force powers to stop two Titans. And finally, we see Barry use his speed to deceive three Titans and take them all down.
Like before, the Titans are beginning to overrun the team, and Ethan decides for them to all meet back up in the center to increase their chances of survival. They do so, and manage to hold off the Titans in time for Agent X to arrive with the fully repaired Universe Jumper and rescue the team.
Later on the ship, Agent X reveals that the ship was able to locate the Dark Stone, which was found to be in Universe F. Knowing what they must do, Agent X has the ship teleport them to Universe F. This is where the chapter ends.
I originally was going to end the chapter early at the part where Ethan has to deactivate the Core and Agent X would have picked them up, but I decided to keep the chapter going because I felt it needed more impact, so I added the rest of the chapter in forest. I loved having them not only use their abilities to fight together, but also using their abilities on their own.
In this chapter, we see Ethan use his growing ability. I wanted to make the character unique, but I also didn't want to be too overpowered, or else he wouldn't be that interesting. To solve this, I decided to make his Core damaged, which is seen in his introduction chapter. Due to the Core being damaged, most of it's functions (i.e. generating armor around the person like the other Protectors) are disabled. This is due to the fact that the Core has lost some power, and can overheat when it's using too much power over time. This is why Ethan cannot stay in his large form for a long time, as the growing function takes a lot of power to use, and using it too long can cause it to overheat. When the Core overheats, all functions the Core is currently using is disabled so that the Core can cool down. While most functions that can cause the Core to overheat quickly are disabled, there are a few functions that the Core can power, such as the health regeneration function, which allows a person to recover from injures quicker than normal, and the energy shield, which surrounds the wearer with a shield that can absorb some damage. One of the other functions is the Core's A.I. system, which informs the wearer about many things such as the Core's status and enemies.
