OC-cember Day 2: The Demonic Blazers and The Blaze Family (Power Rangers OCs)
The Blaze Family are my OCs for the Power Rangers franchise, specifically for the series, though they do show up in the movies (especially in the 2017 reboot movie as different interpitations of L.G. and her friends) and I do plan on having them show up in the comics here and there (once I've read them, that is). They are PR-excusive villains, with the main ones that appear throughout the series are the Blaze group: Luna Gwen (L.G.), Lucy, Frederick (who is called Freddy by his friends), and Eleanora Sayara (E.S.), with L.G.'s older twin siblings Lucifer Rori (L.R.) and Solaris occasionally appearing here and there, and her parents (who at this point in time and as of this post don't have names) who rarely appear due to how busy they are, but they do have their appearances from time to time (whether they be calls or physical appearances in person).
They are essentially the Team Rocket of Power Rangers, with L.G. and her friends essentially being the Team Rocket Trio of PR (Jessie, James, and Meowth; technically L.G. and her friends are a group rather than a trio since there are four of them and not three of them, but I think you get the point of what I'm talking about).
Similarities between The Demonic Blazers and the Team Rocket Trio:
They appear in every season
They are a constant pain in the ass for the heroes outside of other antagonistic forces (Ash and his friends in Team Rocket's case and the Power Rangers in The Blazers case)
They play into the "we're bad guys, but we're not "bad guys" trope, as in while they do work for the bad guys of each season and have no problem helping them with their evil plans and goals (except if they've been betrayed, at which they would have no problem aiding the Rangers in taking them down), they do possess some redeeming qualities (aside from the aforementioned teaming up with the Rangers from time to time), such as loyalty, friendship, empathy, sympathy, and compassion.

I like og Sentai Carranger over Turbo Power Ranger, Dapp rocks!
Plot: A new team of Teens race in when Automage Prandal charges his Zord models with pieces of the Zeo Crystals after virtually escaping Rygog’s Intergalactic Highway (IGH) in the ruins of Valan-8 with Billy and Alpha on COSMOBUG. Working in Tommy’s uncle’s garage, he—along with TJ, Carlos, Ashley and Cassie— buckle up and gear out as the Turbo Power Rangers!
Meanwhile Justin, bright and quick-footed freshman of Angel Grove, discovers his garage pals are Power Rangers, swearing secrecy by supporting the Rangers w/Billy, Alpha and Prandal, solving whatever chaos caused by Rygog’s Cosmic Duster gang they wreaked on Angel Grove.
Note: I’m sprinkling some plot points from the Turbo PR Movie n elements of Carranger into my origin story for the Turbo Power Rangers shud there b a future BOOM comic adaptation of this season
Expectations from BOOMs Turbo adaptation:
There will be hard subjects to tackle in the story, particularly Prandal’s Survivor Guilt
The OG MMPR/Zeo Teams are in college or proactive in other paths, but may b called in for Ranger duties at a pivotal point
Bulk and Skull got Stone back on the force, but now work the detective beats, but every crime scene they’re always bumping into the MOTD, Porto, Elgar, Piranhatrons and Octons*, even Rangers
Lookout for past foot soldiers/MOTDs frequenting Halley’s, IGHs space bar, along with club dancer Radiel, Rygog’s gf
Manic Mechanic’s hacking Alpha-5’s systems reprograms his speech to “gangsta talk” (yo-yo-yo!)
How I would write a Boom! Power Rangers Turbo origin story:
NOTICE: Long post. still editing
[Inspired by Channel Awesome's Fanscription series]
What if Power Rangers Turbo panned out differently? what if it used most but all elements of Carranger? What if all but the remains of the Zeo Crystals powered their new Turbo Ranger suits and zords via a young wizard mechanic from a star system of gearheads?
This outline's my attempt at a proper Zeo-Turbo power shift and major overhaul of the PRT series worthy of a Boom comic adaptation. No Divatox, no Lerigot, no inviso-chimp Bulk & Skull! It will, however, use a majority of Carranger material to try and balance out lighthearted and intense moments ala IDWs Ninja Turtles.
Roadwiz by Carlos “Carl Carson” Carona (now with 60% Carranger)
Part 1:
The Command Center receives a holiday vidcard from an unknown alienoid from an unverified star system, Prandal of Valan-8 (Hazardian Dapp), an Automage apprentice/big time Ranger aficionado, currently residing in Metroland Resort, located within the Intergalactic Highway (Baribarian), an orbiting metroplanet made of rows upon rows of interwoven roads and highways.
The vidcard plays a standard goodwill greeting, albeit wedged with plenty of distracting cheese-ball FX & b-roll:
“Axlent Greetings, Power Rangers! Prandal here, wishing you good times from Metroland Resort, where guests check in, but don’t wanna check out! Normally, I’d be studying Automagic with the other wizard mechanics on Valan-8, but they and the other guests from a bunch of different star systems are hooked with games, food, and music, plus the midnite show at Hailey’s Comet Bar with Star Dancer Radiel, Rygog’s favorite show! You guys should come stay for a few days from Earth. Oh, and you don’t need an astrocar or rocket to get there in who knows how many light years! The Intergalactic Highway will come to your star system and pick you, and any other inhabitants, right up! Metroland, Where All Roads Lead to Paradise!”
Analyzing the message, however, Alpha combs out bits of a distress signal within the vidcard’s code, cunningly hidden in those low-grade 80s graphics, along with coordinates to meet him in private at the afformentioned bar. Unscrambled, Prandal was merely warning the Rangers about Metroland & IGH’s true intentions:
“It was actually Rygog’s (Gynamo) Base for his Belt Duster crew (Bowzock), cosmic bikers bent on bedlam from across many galaxies, and Earth’s next! It siphons entire planets of its resources while their rides, buffets & shows distract the “guests”. Just as they are about to check out, a whopping service bill puts them to debt and their planets have already been sucked dry, dooming them to life as grunts for Rygog’s gang; a devious plan concocted by General Havoc (Ritchihiker), acting as Resort Manager. Prandal needs their help to save him and the imprisoned travelers, along with his Automage masters, and return those resources to their proper planets before Earth gets hooked into this tourist trap. He also says his reason for trusting the Rangers and his fellowship to their cause came about from heresay of those trapped in Metroland recounting the times Dex’s planet from the Plague Patrol, and when they dismantled Machine Empire (tech with Rita/Zedd’s backstabbery)”.
Prandal devises an elaborate rescue plan: a prisoner exchange with Rygog; his life for the Zeo Crystals. Before they realize they swapped the crystals with fakes, he’ll have infused them to his model cars with Automagic (kurumagic), giving the Belt Dusters a suprise attack by The Turbo Rangers and their mighty Turbo Megazord, ready to buff the skid marks off their grimey comet tail!!
He asks the Rangers to meet at the coordinates encoded in the vidcard for the exchange, Hailey's Comet Bar (BB Saloon). Sensing a possble trap, Zordon hails Billy on Aquitar to aid in the exchange. Alpha insists on tagging along since he & Prandal were pen pals after Edenoi was saved and the Machine Empire fallen by the Zeo Rangers
Billy arrives on Earth in a bent-out RADBUG with two protective attachés for the Zeo Crystals, picking up Alpha at the Command Center as they head back to Angel Grove in need of parts to soupe up RADBUG for deep space travel. One stop reunites Billy and Alpha with Tommy Oliver at his uncle’s auto shop Stallion Motors (Pegasus Auto Garage)!
At the auto shop, Alpha goes into "sleep mode" beside the garage entrance while Billy meets up with Tommy, reminiscing on old friends in college, globetrotting, Kimmy in Paris, etc.
Oliver's pit crew of Angel Grove freshman are taking extra credit at Stallion Motors, awe-gapped they'll be upgrading Billy's science fair project, not just for space travel, but make it a pleasing street legal ride: TJ assists Tommy with performance testing; Carlos helps Tommy & TJ repair & customize RADBUG while checking the books on recent repairs; Ashley's designs are given to Carlos; and Cassie spreads word of Stallion Motors to potential clients *some aspects of Carranger's team are shared between Turbo Ranger's teammates
A while later, Angel Grove’s new Smart Guy Justin arrives at the auto shop, ecstatic to hear of Billy's return, hoping he could be his mentor & guide, and help fix Ernie’s Juice Bar Builder for the Youth Center
Justin tells Billy how Ernie got a bar maker kit for his latest venture to create on-the-go jelly blocks with his specialty fruit drinks, even calling them Juice Bars for the pun alone, but after deputy cops Bulk & Skull swapped the fruit with root vegetables & tubers for a lark, the starch gunked the juice compressor and Ernie’s left with a small batch of veggie blocks (Imo Yokan). Lt. Stone asked Justin to fix his rookies’ mess given how much of Billy he saw in the boy and based on his high Aptitude score jumping him to high school
Later, Justin sees Alpha-5 resting by the garage entrance next to the tuned-up RADBUG-2, thinking he was a tutoring aide Billy built for a robotics museum, then checks the case containing the Zeo crystals
As he was about to inspect the Zeo Case further, Justin drops it and the crystals fall as Billy was heading back to his Souper Cooper leaving for his Ranger Mission
Justin kneels to grab the crystals before Billy could notice any tampering on the case, but his backpack zipped open and the compressor, veggie blocks, and some white carrots the same shape as the crystals drop to the floor. A panicked Justin stored the crystals in his pack and puts the carrots in the case
Billy & Alpha head off, RADBUG-2 ready for liftoff! But as Justin heads back to the Youth Center, he sees the Zeo Crystals in his backpack and Billy has the compressor and Zeo Carrots in RADBUG-2.
Has Justin discovered the Rangers’ secret identities? What fate lies in Justin How will he fix the Juice Bar Builder when it’s 7 Lightyears away from Angel Grove?!
Part 2:
Billy & Alpha arrive at the Metro planet orbiting Valan-8, landing near a gas station by their drop spot Hailey’s, a juice bar for alien travelers.
Disguised as an Aquitar nomad, Billy takes RADBUG-2 to a Shrek-eared mechanic to stow it in his garage
However, Alpha was in rest mode the whole trip and is captured by Manic Mechanic (MM Shuurisukii), fully knowing he’s Zordon’s assistant and the Rangers ally & friend
Manic Mech messes with Alpha’s systems by inserting a disc that programs him to only speak in nineties slang
Inside Hailey’s, Billy negotiates with Elgar (Zelmoda) & Porto (Grotch) for an exchange with their leader: the young automage for the Zeo Crystals, as Rygog heard of their tremendous power that could up the Dust Belter’s rep
The bar crowd silences as the floorshow begins, on stage was Radiel (Zonnette), Rygog’s GF who was actually an older princess of the Crysahliss Empire kipnapped by him and brainwashed by Porto
comment story edits for this outline. May not b good, still say major improvement on the 2nd PR movie
