History Fanfic / CrimsonRising

* CanonWelding: The fight against Ivan Ooze and the destruction of the Thunderzords are both key parts of Ranger history in this fic, and Dulcea is established as Zordon’s sister.

* CrimefightingWithCash: Aaron Collins and Anton Mercer provide important aid in setting up an emergency base for the Rangers as they find themselves hunted by Sector Nine. They also [[spoiler:provide suitable financial resources for those Rangers facing work difficulties after their identities went public once the crisis is over, such as buying a recording studio so that Tanya and Kira can continue their music careers, funding Adam’s legal campaign to regain control of his dojo, or altering the birth certificate of Kat’s son to list Billy as his father rather than Malcolm]].

* CrisisCrossover: All Ranger teams up to ''Operation Overdrive'' play some part in the war against Ivan Ooze's forces, with the Mighty Morphin, Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder teams taking point in Earth's defence while the depowered Lightspeed, Wild Force, and Mystic Force act in a support capacity, along with the available Space, Time Force, and Operation Overdrive Rangers serving as additional fighters.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere:

* HeroicLineage: The Rangers all consider themselves as sharing one of these for the most part, but Hunter takes it a step further as he learns that his biological father was literally the ''only'' other Crimson Ranger ever. By contrast, Will earns the contempt of the other Rangers when he makes it clear he doesn't care about the Ranger legacy, Adam informing Will that he's ashamed to share a colour with him.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Will and Dax [[spoiler:finally turn against Sector Nine when they confirm that Master Vile is possessing the President and General Gorbin kills Tori’s father and makes it clear that he's prepared to torture a four-year-old girl whose only connection to the Rangers is that she's Tori's little sister (particularly when Tori doesn't even know about the girl yet)]].

* ReverseMole: The Rangers manage to get one of these inside Sector Nine, in the form of [[spoiler:the reformed Rito Revolto, now in a human appearance after he was reformed by the Z-Wave, allowing him to tip them off and prevent an assassination of the Vice-President staged to look like the Rangers did it]].

* HonoraryTrueCompanions: While the Rangers have an obvious bond, various non-Ranger allies are allowed on their island compound as they gather their forces against Ivan Ooze, [[spoiler:Master Vile]] and Sector Nine, including Cassidy and Devin, Bulk and Skull, Anton Mercer, and the reformed Zedd.
* InsultBackfire: The best description of Will's dismissal of Adam when the other Black Ranger expresses disgust at the notion that he and Will share a colour, Will affirming that he only cares about doing the job and making a name for himself.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8365767/1/Crimson-Rising Crimson Rising]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/107437/Lilac-Moon LilacMoon]] is a ''Franchise/PowerRangers fic'', starting towards the latter half of ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive'' and featuring a mass gathering of Rangers. When Ivan Ooze returns from the dead to mount a new campaign against the Rangers, they are forced to face a new kind of evil as the ruthless General Gorbin makes it clear that he wants the Rangers and their powers under his control, to say nothing of Crimson Ranger Hunter Bradley learning some surprising secrets about his heritage…

* AllYourPowersCombined: The only way to break Dulcea’s curse is [[spoiler:to channel Hunter’s Phoenix powers through the Zeo Crystal]].

* TheBigGuy: Hunter isn't the physically largest Ranger, but his Phoenix powers easily make him the powerhouse of the now-expanded team, with most villains only able to oppose him in a fight because he doesn't have full control of his more devastating attacks.

* CrisisCrossover: All Ranger teams up to ''Operation Overdrive'' play some part in the war against Ivan Ooze's forces.

* DeadManWriting: In anticipation of the attack, Trey left a message for the Rangers where he explained the prophecy identifying the chosen Rangers to oppose Ooze's assault.

* DiscardAndDraw: As part of a prophecy, the original Ninjetti Rangers (Tommy, Kimberly, Billy, Rocky, Aisha and Adam), Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder Rangers all regain variations of those particular powers. As well as the aforementioned, Jason receives the Gold Dino Gem (basically the Black Dino Gem with more armour) and Trini, Tanya and Kat are entrusted with the Silver Ankylo, Green Parasaur and Violet Stego Dino Gems respectively.

* DueToTheDead: The Rangers at one point take the time to have a private ceremony for those lost in the initial attack, including Trey, the Phantom Ranger, and most of Lightspeed Rescue. [[spoiler:After the threat is over, Mr Collins arranges for an official memorial to be erected in Mariner Bay to commemorate the fallen members of Lightspeed Rescue, and also provides financial support as Kelsey and Ryan become the heads of the new Lightspeed Guardians in Mariner Bay, a ‘sister organisation’ to the Silver Guardians in Silver Hills (Carter and Dana becoming the heads of the new fire department and hospital for Mariner Bay)]].

* JerkassHasAPoint: While the more experienced Rangers resent Will pointing out that the Overdrive Rangers are the only team where none of the Rangers have ever gone evil or ‘failed’ to completely destroy their villains yet, none of them deny his accusation (although this still doesn’t justify Will betraying the Rangers to side with Sector Nine).

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: General Gorbin publically claims that he’s making the Rangers official because they can’t be trusted as rogue vigilantes, but his talk with Mr Collins makes it clear that he’s only interested in getting control of their powers to increase his own authority to the extent of basically making himself a dictator, [[spoiler:even before he shows a willingness to work with Master Vile]].

* PutOnTheBus: Tyzonn leaves Earth and the Operation Overdrive team to defend his own planet from Ooze’s attack.

** After [[spoiler:reacquiring the fragments of the Zeo Crystal, the original Zeo Rangers each select a new person to wield their Crystal in battle; Kapri is chosen to wield the Pink Crystal, Marah the Yellow, Justin the Blue, Skull the Green, and Zack the Red]].

** When Section Nine try to discredit the Rangers using some of their old associates, such as Conner's ex-girlfriend Krista, other old allies such as Raymond (the computer genius who helped the Zeo Rangers stop Mean Screen) do their best to mount a counter-campaign to remind the public that the Rangers are heroes.

** For most of the series, Lightspeed Rescue, [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Wild Force]] and [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Mystic Force]] are basically rendered powerless as the Lightspeed morphers were damaged and the other two teams were cut off from the Animarium and Rootcore respectively, although the remaining Lightspeed Rangers acted as medical support while Mystic Force helped to train the Ninja Storm team in their abilities by adapting their other magical talents.

* DiscardAndDraw: As part of a prophecy, the original Ninjetti Rangers (Tommy, Kimberly, Billy, Rocky, Aisha and Adam), Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder Rangers all regain variations of those particular powers. As well as the aforementioned, Jason receives the Gold Dino Gem (basically the Black Dino Gem with more armour) and Trini, Tanya and Kat are entrusted with the Silver Ankylo, Green Parasaur and Violet Stego Dino Gems.
* DismantledMacGuffin: As part of their effort to gain new powers to oppose Ooze’s forces, the Rangers have to reassemble the Zeo Crystal, which was relocated to different parts of the galaxy after the Zeo Rangers changed to the Turbo powers; [[spoiler:Green and Pink are on Earth in storage facilities owned by Adam’s family and Kat’s ex-husband, while Blue, Yellow and Red were left on Aquitar, Triforia and K0-35, although the Blue Crystal was left drifting in space after Aquitar’s destruction until it landed on Onyx]].
* DueToTheDead: The Rangers at one point take the time to have a private ceremony for those lost in the initial attack, including Trey, the Phantom Ranger, and most of Lightspeed Rescue. [[spoiler:After the threat is over, Mr Collins arranges for an official memorial to be erected in Mariner Bay to commemorate the fallen members of Lightspeed Rescue, and also provides financial support as Kelsey and Ryan become the heads of the new Lightspeed Guardians, a ‘sister organisation’ to the Silver Guardians (Carter and Dana becoming the heads of the new fire department and hospital for the city)]].
* EasilyForgiven: Defied; Ronny and Rose are allowed back with the other Rangers after their first outing with Sector Nine confirms that the organisation is too ruthless, but it is made clear that Will and Dax won’t be let off so easily after they participated in such attacks as [[spoiler:Hunter being shot and Tori and Zedd captured]]. Even after [[spoiler:they save Tori’s sister Zoe and bring her to Blue Harbour, once the crisis has passed, although the other Rangers argue for leniency, Will and Dax are forbidden from becoming Rangers again, Dax returning to his film career and Will working for Bio-Labs security]].

** When [[spoiler:the [[Series/PowerRangerTimeForce Time Force Rangers]] travel to the present, Jen’s words suggest that the rest of the team will be having words with Alex when they go back, as it is implied he deliberately concealed the details of the current crisis from them to the extent that Jen intends to stay in the past with Wes]].

* InsultBackfire: The best description of Will's dismissal of Adam when the other Black Ranger expresses disgust at the notion that he and Will share a colour, Will affirming that he only cares about doing the job.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Will’s main reason for joining Sector Nine was that he felt he wasn’t getting any respect from the other Rangers, ignoring the fact that they made valid points about his lack of experience as a Ranger compared to them and his efforts with Sector Nine fail to produce any clear results.

* MacGuffin: The Zeo Crystal [[spoiler:not only helps to break Dulcea's curse, but can also be used to reactivate the Lightspeed and Mystic morphers, break the barrier keeping them from the Animarium and preventing the Time Force Rangers returning, and still have enough power for a new Zeo team]].

** For most of the series, Lightspeed Rescue, Wild Force and Mystic Force are basically rendered powerless as the Lightspeed morphers were damaged and the other two teams were cut off from the Animarium and Rootcore respectively, although the remaining Lightspeed Rangers acted as medical support while Mystic Force helped to train the Ninja Storm team in their abilities by adapting their other magical talents.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite having declared the other Rangers fools and dismissing the idea that he has any interest in their legacy, Will finally realises that he can’t keep working for Sector Nine when [[spoiler:they are willing to threaten Tori’s sister to try and bring the Rangers in line]].

* HeroOfAnotherStory: When [[spoiler:the Time Force Rangers travel to the present, Jen’s words suggest that the rest of the team will be having words with Alex when they go back, as it is implied he deliberately concealed the details of the current crisis from them to the extent that Jen intends to stay in the past with Wes]].
* HeroicLineage: The Rangers all consider themselves as sharing one of these for the most part, but Hunter takes it a step further as he learns that his biological father was literally the ''only'' other Crimson Ranger ever; Will earns the contempt of the other Rangers when he makes it clear he doesn't care about the Ranger legacy.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Will’s main reason for joining Sector Nine was that he felt he wasn’t getting any respect from the other Rangers, ignoring the fact that they made valid points about his lack of experience as a Ranger compared to them.

* NoodleIncident: After the mission to destroy Serpentera, the Red Rangers all went out for a few drinks, and Cole apparently had such an embarrassing experience that he virtually begs the other Reds not to bring it up again.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Will and Dax [[spoiler:finally turn against Sector Nine when they confirm that Master Vile is possessing the President and General Gorbin kills Tori’s father and makes it clear that he's prepared to torture her little sister]].

** After reacquiring the fragments of the Zeo Crystal, the original Zeo Rangers each select a new person to wield their Crystal in battle; Kapri is chosen to wield the Pink Crystal, Marah the Yellow, Justin the Blue, Skull the Green, and Zack the Red.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Will and Dax [[spoiler:finally turn against Sector Nine when they confirm that Master Vile is possessing the President and General Gorbin kills Tori’s father and prepares to torture her little sister]].

* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Adam’s father isn’t outright ‘insane’, but it is noted that he has very rigid views that mean he sees anyone who doesn’t obey the letter of the law as criminals, which includes the Rangers even though they have never hurt anyone.
* BodyHorror:A relatively downplayed example; after [[spoiler:Malcolm Renaldi is exposed to the Pink Zeo Crystal, he is left with serious burns all over his body, with Zedd and Billy each musing that he would probably have been incinerated if he was any closer to the Crystal or if he was exposed to the full Zeo Crystal]].
