We'll this is... Different... Although I am somewhat lost in the continuities, I wouldn't be too much help there. I didn't watch after the first Movie in which Ivan made the Thunder Zords no longer work and they went from Thunder to Ninja.
Though I did watch part of an episode of the Zeo Rangers where Jason, the original Red Ranger was the Gold Ranger.

Like I said, not much help.
But I do have a few questions based on what I DO know...
So which "Alpha" is it?
The only ones I know of were Alpha 5 and Alpha 6, and while Alpha 5 was a nervous twit most of the time, he was a lot cooler than Alpha Six who sounded like a punk.
And Nihlus' powers... Are they going to be temporary like Tommy's were after Zedd showed up, but before he became the White Ranger?

ôNihlus?ö the question was asked of him as he blinked and reached around him.
He wasnÆt on the station anymore.
It hadnÆt quite sunk in though, the Alliance had managed to keep the fact they had managed to make teleportation workà
May their gods help them whenever the Salarians discovered that fact, because heÆd lay even money on the horde of inquisitive scientists, some of which were armed, attempting to get answers about just how theyÆd managed that feat.
He took the offered hand from the human, "Yeah, that's me."
ôWelcome to the Normandy,ö the man continued with an almost cocky grin, ôIÆm Richard Jenkins, Black Ranger.ö

ôAll rangers,ö Joker stated from his position at the helm, ôWeÆre about to hit the relay, aiming for rapid deployment.ö
He paused as the flash of energy cascaded over the ship and the momentary vertigo of the relay transit.
ôRangers,ö Alpha added a moment later, ôprepare at launch bay one, IÆve included a surprise for you there.ö
ôAlpha?ö Joker managed to get in a second later.
ôShark Cycles ready for deployment, four ready and waiting.ö
xXx
ôLooks like more introductions can wait,ö Jenkins stated as he stepped into the bay with Nihlus watching Shepard and Alenko exit the other lift, ôI guess weÆre starting with four.ö
Johns grin was noticeable as he pulled the morpher from his belt, ôReady?ö
ôYep,ö Kaidan responded as he pulled his out as well.
ôBorn ready,ö Jenkins added alongside the SpectreÆs nod.
ôItÆs Morphin Time!ö

xXx
Ashley moved as the machines attacked again.
She knew it was a losing battle, there were just far too many Geth attacking to have a chance, especially with the elimination of all but one other member of her team.
An explosion drew her attention as Nirali took another blast and crashed backwards with a scream and a flash of red light as she lost her morph.
She couldnÆt help but try to scream as another wave of these monsters swarmed their position, blasts converging on the only other survivor of Eden PrimeÆs SPD team, and the momentary stillness that followed left her the only one.
Grabbing the sidearm her superior had been using in her free hand, she braced herself, a plan to go out fighting if nothing else as she caught her breath behind the slight cover theyÆd managed to hold for the past hour.
And then the site exploded around her, mixing with the roar of bikes and a silence that drew her attention over the pile of ruined equipment.
The first thing that caught her eye was the now unmoving hordes of robotic troopers standing.
It was only then that what should have been the first sight captured her sole attention.
Not just a man on a motorcycle, but one that gave her the notion that she was either dead or dying with hallucinations.
One of the figures that every child knew, the same ages that learned the names of the major dinosaurs could identify that particular uniform. But at the same time, that outfit was one every member of the Alliance knew could never be used again.
The original rangers outfits were all but sacred, no team would even allow those uniforms to be reproduced, much less used. They were the heroes and legends that started everything that made the alliance.
And yet, the figure before her stood there clad in white, black, and gold was right out of those histories amidst an area devoid of any Geth save for a handful of pieces and atop one of the vehicles that held almost the same status.
ôAlright then,ö she heard the white ranger state from atop the shark cycle as he revved the engine, ôLetÆs go!ö
The wheeled vehicle roared with the same ferocity of the primeval beast whoÆs genetic structure was supposed to have empowered it as bike and rider simply moved, tearing through the enemy almost as if they werenÆt even there, saber flashing between strokes that rent metal and showered the area in flashes of light.
ôThe hellàö she managed to stammer as an explosion felt a little closer than what she was watching, one of the enemy had circled and closed, and it was falling, the dead machine falling inches from her to the mud around her.
Her eyes first observed the gaping tear in the head of it and then turned her gaze upwards, spotting the axe still in position from ripping through armor and servomotors.
A black ranger stood there, body language giving her the impression of a grin made all the more confusing from the expressionless metal sculpts of a lower face of the black mask of the Mastodon.
ôDown,ö the second ranger yelled as he moved, pulling her behind him as the weapon shifted in his hands, blade moving down the barrel, ôPower Axe, Cannon Mode!ö
The energy blasts added to the carnage that rocked the battlefield, ripping through those foes that had managed to take a holding position on the ridges around them.
Clanking footsteps left her wondering if her reprieve was but momentary as one of their tank analogues moved into the clear and then another. Weapons turned on their position, perhaps believing they had a decent chance at taking two rangers down with a single shot.
Her eyes widened behind the pink mask, this was it as they fired and her eyes snapped tightly closed.
Nothing seemed to change, and she heard music.
Eerily familiar, but she just couldnÆt place it, echoing eerily in the confines of the canyon that had been SPDÆs last stand.
ôGo Nihlus!ö she heard the black ranger, the voice making her open her eyes again to another sight.
Clad in green and gold, she could see the ranger playing the flute through a dagger while the golden shield glowed brighter than the flashes of mass accelerator shots that disintegrated against it. The almost mythic power of the dragon dagger sang for the first time since those original rangers, shielding them from the weapons.
And then a fourth myth came into play as a red blur dropped atop the first colossus, using his weight and momentum to add to the sword he wielded, the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger drove the weapon into the Geth machine from above. The nightmare staggered as its weight forced legs wider to slide apart in the muck, holding for only an instant and then the machine fell to crash to the ground with a roar of collapsing metal.
But the ranger didnÆt stop there, continuing the initial attack into almost a rebound leap that ripped the blade free of the destroyed head as he passed the other colossus and struck, slicing cleanly through first one leg and then a second in a single pass before rolling away.
The Red Ranger turned as the machine fought against gravity before the rangers free hand moved into a shoving motion, and metal crumpled even before the telekinetic strike blew the geth from its feet.
It was too much as her mind seemed to shut down at what she saw as The Rangers seemed to materialize around her almost too late to do anything, but they were something else.
The only thing that had come close was when the prince of triforia tested the entire academy and took on every ranger team they had available at once, nothing could stop the gold ranger, and this was an entire team at least as powerful.
It was as if they simply told these monsters to die and they did, a perfect display of what every ranger team since wanted to be.
And then it was over as she fought to regain her senses, the Geth were gone, at least from the area, and four legends had hammered them with a force unlike anything sheÆd ever seen before.

And, here we go...
White= John Shepard
Red= Kaiden Alenko
Green= Nihlus Kryik
Yellow= ???
Blue= ???
Pink= ???
Black= R. Leeroy Jenkins
So, will Ash be taking on the role of the Pink Ranger?
Do all the different incarnations of Rangers use teleportation?
Not only do I have trouble seeing Wrex in "Ranger Gear", I also don't see him using the Blue Ranger's Lance either. Garrus on the other hand... Maybe...
But with Nihilius less likely to perish, given the power boost and the constant presence of the other three rangers, will the Council still be their usual heads in the sand selves and more likely to believe Shepard shoud he interact with the beacon?
Also, are you going to keep the Rangers as their default genders, or is there a chance of say... a male Yellow Ranger or a female Blue Ranger?

ôAlpha,ö Joker asked as he turned in his chair, ôAm I seeing what I think IÆm seeing?ö
The robot paused to glance at the various screens in the ops center, ôAy yi yiàö
ôSo, thatÆs a yes then?ö
ôYou need to warn the Rangers, that looks like it could be serious trouble.ö
ôIt gets worse,ö the pilot added, ôIÆm picking up some odd demolitions charges near the starport.ö
Shifting through the various holographic displays around him, Joker took a deep breath.
ôShepard,ö he stated into the comms, ôYouÆve got problems groundside, that mothership of theirs launched a trio of larger craft your way, guessing theyÆre planning to just burn you out.ö
ôUnderstood,ö came the response, ôHow long do we have down here?ö
ôWell, thatÆs not all of the problem, what ever is leading this attack is planning on blowing up the starport, and that brings it to the most probably location for something important,ö he continued, ôNot sure how much time you have until the area goes up around youàö
xXx
ôYou heard Joker,ö Ashley heard the white ranger state, ôTwo problems, weÆll need to split up.ö
ôYou alright?ö she heard the red one add, finally seeming to take more notice of her after the insanity.
ôI think so,ö she managed to get out, relieved that there seemed to be time to catch her breath, ôAny other survivors?ö
ôHey boss,ö Black added, ôSeems that weÆve got another here.ö
The SPD ranger almost laughed as the relief hit her, her Red ranger hadnÆt ended up joining the casualty lists, though nothing was said about the others.
ôYou have a clue as to what theyÆre after here?ö White asked as he turned towards her.
She could only answer with what she knew.

They'd found something Prothean...
Kaiden had wondered what the hell could be worth a full on invasion of Eden Prime, but then again that might make a lot of sense. The Cranston Institute on Aquitar was still trying to figure out some of their toys.
Hell, one of the major reasons for the lack of interaction was the side effect that element zero had on the usual sensor arrays when it was in an activated form. The radiation signature rather effectively masked the older sensor systems pretty much everyone used, limiting the knowledge on the true scope of the citadels reach.
It was something easily filterable in the end, but you had to know what it was actually doing to reach that point.
Or at least, that's what he'd learned back in school.
And the Protheans seemed up there in capability, close to Eltar level tech in several fields.
If the data could be a weapon, well, imagine some of the crazy nuts that popped up from time to time to cause problems with that tech...
Not being pretty was taking it lightly if one of them found a way to extend a field around an asteroid or the like.
Colony drops were not something anyone wanted to see added to standard tactics.
But then there was the other issues, the beacon and the bombs were one place, but then there was the airpower heading either towards them or in one of the more fortified locations nearby.
"Joker," he heard Shepard ask, "What assets do we have that can intercept them?"
"Commander, just one in service," came the response, "Alpha's tied the command circuits for the zords originally tied into the second coin set into the ones currently available thanks to the method used to repair them."
"What do we have?"
"Just one, boss, I'm having Alpha ready one of the ones for you to launch position."
"Team," came the order as the white ranger turned to the others, "Take SPD with you, handle the bombs and get the beacon."
"And you?" Jenkins asked, absently twirling his axe as he shifted it back to melee mode.
"You'll see," Shepard reversed his grip on Saba and held the weapon up, "Alright buddy, time to see how well we hold up."
"Right sir," came the response from the relic, "Three zords available, only one flight capable."
He sheathed the weapon for a moment, breathing deeply, Alenko could just see the grin spreading across his superior officers face behind the helmet.
"I need Falconzord power," John almost roared, taking a pose he knew was straight from the recordings of those who held their powers so long ago, "Now!"
For an instant, he wondered if the activation had failed, but then the sky seemed to respond with a birds cry and the wings of white sliced through the clouds to signal the arrival of one of the most fantastic machines he had ever seen as the White Ranger moved and went skywards with a speed that almost made him think Shepard had used the teleporter.
He paused, biting back both the urge to chuckle and the urge to salute, "Alright, he's doing his part, we've got ours."

Richard Jenkins was getting nervous as the four rangers moved towards their target.
The Geth had seemed to let up, and hadn't made an appearance since their rescue of the SPD ranger, Ashley Williams, who was riding double with Kaiden in the lead.
The shark cycles sensors were reading their proximity, but they were staying out of sight.
Waiting for something, and that he knew couldn't be something good.
Just how bad, Jenkins didn't know until the group pulled to a stop, and a flash of gold sent him tumbling a half-dozen yards through the grass in a spray of sparks.
"Jenkins," Alenko shouted, moving towards the black ranger to make sure his teammate was alright.
"What hit me?" he managed to stammer while fighting his way back to his feet.
"Oh?" came an oddly familiar voice echoing around them, "Can't the black ranger take a hit?"
"There!" Nihlus' hand pointed at a figure that shook the human rangers, recognition instantly apparent.
"You?" Kaiden's tone was more of a statement than a question and the confusion was audible.
"It's been a long time since I fought a Power Ranger, but it seems that while they pulled those morphers out of retirement, the skills didn't seem to come with them..."
"Scorpina..." Ashley was the first to put the name to the feminine figure standing upon the tramway they'd parked by.

He clutched his rifle as he watched the gas bags float.
The security was down, that had happened before he'd gotten there, but he knew that his target was already gone even before the two Senturians moved clear of the entrance.
Some of the footage of the Blue Senturian wasn't telling about how far it's successor units had come. What he had managed to find out about their origins was that they'd come from tech recovered from Frax it a timeline that shifted and no longer existed.
But whatever the rogue was doing on Eden Prime, much less involved in this madness was still something up in the air.
Garrus had left C-Sec five years ago, but his heritage had ended up leaving him as the choice for the assignment.
A Turian Spectre had gone rogue, and footage recovered from the research facilities on Eden Prime showed Saren there. What he was after was still unknown, but the attack on the planet that followed could not be a coincidence.
The visor's HUD flashed and he a warning passed about imminent aerial combat in the area was all he needed to decide on a course of action.
"This is Defender Bravo to inbound Ranger operations teams, there is a class two fugitive in the area, be warned he is armed and dangerous."
He didn't need more casualties on his conscience, not since Solaeon escaped.
That had been the final straw before leaving, and being a turian in Alliance space didn't always end up as the easiest option, but it was more rewarding and less confining than C-Sec had been. The Senturions were another reason to be thankful for the option, they were something the Council would have never approved.

Fixed the spelling.
The Blue Senturion was from an alternate future. There's a couple year difference in the timing of events between his timeline and the main one.
The Defenders is a small group linked to SPD made of teams that tend to have agents paired with Senturions. The current model is far more advanced than the Blue Senturion was.
With the original timeline, I'm placing recovered remains of Thrax and his robots as well as some Machine Empire material as the origin for his abilities that were then mixed with Ranger tech during that timeline. This is over a century of advancement on that tech.

Codex: Defenders
While conventional police forces with SPD backup are the primary law enforcement officers of the Alliance, there was often issues with the more interplanetary criminals that popped up.
The solution proposed was an outgrowth of the Blue Senturions original missions before being sent to the Turbo Rangers.
By taking the best law enforcement officers, bounty hunters, and investigators they could get their hands on and training them to work with the more Senturions developed, they would have a mobile force capable of following those criminals and providing expertise to the planetary ranger forces that would eventually face off with them.
While the original members followed something akin to the marshals of Earth, within a year of their formation another name was suggestion in honor of one of those warriors who had fought alongside the Ranger team now based off of Mirinoi, the Magna Defender.
With the recent years of increased contact with the Citadel Council, the Defenders have gained the reputation of talent poachers from C-Sec with their fewer restrictions and more fluid regulations tending to be an attractive option for those the higher ups were attempting to forge into their next generation of officers.
On a more street level, the Defenders do tend to have a more friendly relationship with their rivals and far closer ties.
Codex: The Blue Senturion
After the Z-Wave incident and the battles with Frax, it was of interest that the technology of the Blue Senturion seemed based off of the human turned machine. Non-corrupted files from the Senturions memory banks revealed alterations in the timeline that not even that ranger teams support could identify.
Current belief is that whatever caused the Blue Senturion to be sent back in time sent him earlier than he was supposed to go as evidenced by the discrepancies in current timeline and the one he originated in.
Codex: The Senturions
Due to the early difficulties producing morphers, the data and schematics of the Blue Senturion was analyzed for production as a stopgap measure until Ranger teams could be produced and prepared for their duties.
As colonization projects grew, a similar effort in upgrading the Senturion series via recovered technology gained from a variety of sources, all colonies were assigned at least one Senturion to handle law enforcement operations.
The rapid expansion and trade across space thanks to the lack of outside threats thanks to the Z-Wave and Earth sponsored projects prompted a spike in crime that was more difficult to counteract with traditional forces prompting the use of the best in the Defenders.
While conventional police forces with SPD backup are the primary law enforcement officers of the Alliance, there was often issues with the more interplanetary criminals that popped up.
The solution proposed was an outgrowth of the Blue Senturions original missions before being sent to the Turbo Rangers.
By taking the best law enforcement officers, bounty hunters, and investigators they could get their hands on and training them to work with the more Senturions developed, they would have a mobile force capable of following those criminals and providing expertise to the planetary ranger forces that would eventually face off with them.
