In the not-so-distant future, humanity stands at the precipice of its greatest achievement-or its ultimate downfall. At the heart of this daring endeavor lies the Global Scientific Research Institute (GSRI), a bastion of innovation where the brightest minds on Earth work tirelessly to reshape the planet's destiny. Armed with cutting-edge technology and an unshakable belief in their mission, a group of visionary scientists embarks on an experiment that promises to heal the scars humanity has inflicted on the Earth.

But tampering with forces as ancient and enigmatic as the planet itself comes with risks no one could fully comprehend. Deep within the walls of the GSRI, as the countdown begins, none of them could foresee how their pursuit of progress would unlock a chain of events that would test the limits of science, survival, and the very essence of what it means to be human.

The line between creation and destruction has always been thin. And now, it's about to be crossed.

Power Rangers Knights of the Galaxy: Beginnings by Syrevfxz
50 parts Ongoing Mature
A year has passed since the Milky Way Galaxy was wiped out. Earth is a ghost of a memory. The Rangers survived, but the grief is a constant, heavy weight. They failed their world. Their survival is owed entirely to Delta, their former master. In his final, desperate act, he sacrificed everything, tearing half of humanity from the destruction and flinging them across the stars to his home world, Zeqa. This act of pure sacrifice is the debt they now live under. Settling on Zeqa is brutal. How do you "get over" the end of the world? Though they're surrounded by a strange, vibrant new environment, they're no longer the most important heroes; other saviors are stepping up. The Rangers live on, some trying to accept their diminished roles. But space doesn't care about a fresh start. The cosmos promises adventure on an unimaginable scale, but also danger they can't comprehend. Just as they start to find a foothold, they crash headlong into a nightmare: a lethal stranger with utterly blank motives. They are nearly killed, almost meeting the same fate as Earth and Delta. Then, when all seems lost, an extraterrestrial swoops in, saving them. This savior, however, has an agenda. They desperately need the Rangers' help to save their own world, Esperanza. The survivors of a doomed planet are now immediately dragged into the heart of the next impending disaster.
