The RANGERS Foundation

PROLOGUE

In 2002, Tommy Oliver recruited 10 of the original red Rangers to join him on one mission: go to the light side of the moon to stop the remnants of the Machine Empire from resurrecting Lord Zedd's most powerful weapon, his zord Serpentina. The Rangers succeeded in bringing down both threats and saving Earth from an impending doom.

When their acts of their heroic valor came to light, the United States partnered with the allied nations to create a global defense program consisting of advanced military grade armor, high tech weaponry, and children under the age of eighteen.

That last part caused one of the biggest backlashes in world history. Millions of people were against the idea of putting kids on the frontlines of a galactic war.

Several countries backed out on the project after several death threats and multiple protests. The U.S. went further with the project, agreeing that this was the only way that the future of the world would be secure. However, this topic caused one of the longest shutdowns in U.S. history, lasting for almost two months.

The countries who supported this program hired the best people (lawyers, scientists, doctors, psychologists, etc.) to make sure this was happening.

In 2005, the RANGERS Foundation and the Kamen Rider Corps. were born. A Ranger team was assigned to a country who had the funds for one, along with a Kamen Rider. The U.S. had five teams (North, South, East, West, and Central), along with ten Kamen Riders. The U.S. had to have more than one team of Rangers and more Kamen Riders because the villains attacking Earth would usually target the U.S. first.

Having kids assisting the world governments became the norm, but the public will forever continue to ask this question: How far are we willing to go to protect those we love?
