Legacy of the Grid

Summary:

Jenna Hart-Oliver the daughter of Tommy Oliver and Kimberly Hart takes up her father's mantle.

Notes:

For my final post of 2022 and the recent passing of Jason David Frank I needed to do something to honor him. It wasn't until I heard that his daughter Jenna was interested in being the green Ranger that I had the idea. So I got to work and this is the first chapter of an ongoing story and my contribution to the Power Rangers Extended Universe. Enjoy and to Jason wherever you are, thank you for everything.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Jenna Hart-Oliver had one year prior lost her father Tommy Oliver the greatest Ranger to ever live, defeating Lord Zedd at the cost of his own life. She sat in her room looking at old photos of him. There was one of her riding on his shoulders, the two of them striking fight poses, and another of them with the other Mighty Morphin Power Rangers including her mother Kimberly Ann Hart who currently stood outside her door.

Kimberly saw tears coming down her daughter’s cheeks and she went to sit down next to her on the side of her bed. “I miss him,” Jenna said.

“I know sweetie,” Kim replied kissing her daughter’s forehead.

“I wish it didn’t have to end that way.”

“Me neither, but your father sacrificed himself so you could live.”

“I didn’t ask him to do that,” Jenna said her sadness mixed with bitterness.

“He would’ve done it regardless, that’s why I loved him, he put others before himself.”

Jenna smiled remembering how much Tommy cared.

“I’ve received a message from Ninjor he wishes to speak to you at his temple,” Kimberly said.

“Okay, give me some time to get ready.”

“Take all the time you need; he’ll understand if you don’t want to come today.”

“Thanks Mom,” Jenna said as they hugged.

Kimberly left the room and she thought back to the last time she and Tommy talked with Ninjor.

Two years ago…

“Ninjor, I have a request,” Tommy said.

“Of course Tommy” Ninjor replied.

“Should I perish I want my powers to pass on to Jenna.”

“Tommy are you sure?” asked Kimberly.

“I am Kim, she’s become so strong, noble, and kind, mostly due to you,” he joked and she laughed knowing that some of his qualities also went into her. “I cannot imagine anyone better to carry on my legacy than my baby girl,” he continued, he called her that even though she was not so little anymore.

“Okay then,” Kimberly said, “I second that request.”

“Your opinion is noted Kimberly,” Ninjor said, “Tommy your request is granted, your daughter will be your successor.”

“Make sure that it’s her choice.”

“Understood.”

Present Day…

After drying her tears and cleaning up Jenna was ready to meet with Ninjor. Kimberly gave Jenna her own Communicator and the two teleported to Ninjor’s temple. This was the first time Jenna had been to Ninjor’s temple. “Jenna Hart-Oliver, welcome,” said Ninjor after he appeared in a puff of smoke.

Jenna and Kimberly bowed in respect to the creator of the Power Coins. “The last time I saw you, you were a little girl clinging to your father’s leg,” he said cheerfully, “My how you have grown.”

Jenna just smiled at the memory, “Why did you request to meet me?” she asked.

Ninjor looked to Kimberly who nodded her approval. “Two years ago, Tommy came to me with a request, and that request was to pass on his powers to you.”

Jenna was stunned at this, “Is that even possible? I thought you had to be chosen.”

“Coincidentally the Grid has chosen you, for you are strong, kind, courageous, and driven. Your father had always been proud of you, proud enough to deem worthy of the Master Morpher. With it you will be given access to all of your father’s Ranger Powers. The Green Dragon, a power once used for evil but then used for good, the White Tiger, a power created from the White Light of goodness. The White Falcon the winged lord of the skies. The Red Zeo Power, one of strength and agility, Red Lightning the speed and swiftness of Turbo, and finally the Black Brachio power of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. These powers were wielded by your father and they were wielded with conviction and strength and the will to protect others, all qualities you share with him, this is his last gift. The question is do you believe you’re ready?” Ninjor finished presenting the Master Morpher to Jenna.

Jenna then looked around to see Jason Lee Scott, Billy Cranston, Zack Taylor, Trini Kwan, Adam Park, Rocky DeSantos, Aisha Campbell, Tanya Sloan, and Katherine Hillard, and Justin Stewart standing around her including her mother. They’ve all been Aunts and Uncles to her, she had grown up idolizing her father wanting to be like him. “I am ready,” Jenna said with determination evident in her voice. She was handed the Master Morpher and the power surged through her, sparks of Green, White, Red, and Black coursed along her body. The feeling was impossible to describe. She was in Ranger form, the Green Ranger form to be exact. She removed the helmet and she took a second to look at it and happy tears went down her cheeks. “Thanks Dad,” she muttered before wiping the tears away.

The others cheered for Jenna and her mother went up to hug her. “He’d be proud of you,” Jason said as he and the others joined the hug, and Ninjor couldn’t help but join in.

Everyone parted and they teleported to the Oliver house to celebrate. It was a spur of the moment party but it was one of the rare times that Jenna got to see so many of her extended family all at once. Then Jenna noticed a cloaked figure approaching, everyone else did too. The figure lifted his hood revealing Psycho Green, “I’ll handle this,” Jenna said as she stepped forward.

“The daughter of Tommy Oliver,” said the Psycho Ranger.

“You have no right to speak his name,” Jenna said, “It’s Morphin Time, Green Ranger Power Dragonzord,” and she morphed and readied herself.

Psycho Green fired energy blasts from his dagger, but Jenna countered it by playing the Dragon Dagger’s flute to form an energy shield, she walked towards him and he eventually attacked with Jenna blocking easily and countering with a kick. Psycho Green then started using his speed, and Jenna reacted accordingly by taking out the Master Morpher and saying, “Shift into Turbo, Red Lightning Turbo Power,” and she changed Ranger form to Turbo Red. She used her own speed to match Psycho Green’s and she hit him so hard he fell to the ground full stop.

“Let’s finish this up, Dino Thunder Power up,” and she changed to Dino Thunder Black, “Brachio Staff,” she said unsheathing her weapon, “Energy Orb,” she made a circle with the Brachio staff and sent it towards Psycho Green and it enveloped him causing so much damage he exploded and Jenna turned away as the Psycho menace was no more, striking a triumphant pose.

This wasn’t just her first battle but the beginning of a new legend.
