 "I'm an awesome possum!" - Kimberly 2017 (under the influence of MODM)

Cquote2


Volkonir Meets the Power Rangers is a semi-official Crack Fic (only authorized by two of the many parties involved) serving as a Deconstructive Parody of Toku shows; while also toying with the idea of how to write Machinomics for the genre - particularly with the use of Sims software. It was mostly shot in The Sims 4, with bits of it shot in The Sims 3 and other bits strewn in from various internet sources (mostly Google) whenever a particular effect simply proved too impossible for the software to render.

Per its Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny-like nature of happening in many timelines and universes at once, Narnia Time plays a major role in events. The plot is also broken into several smaller sub-plots that quickly merge together, originating from events in each affected universe.

  • Setting A: The Eccentriaverse, part of the greater-recognized Dozerfleet Megaverse. An ancient feud between the kingdoms of Mighty Cortascius and Gwirdonia, from the planet Cortascius, has bled over into modern-day Bozeman, Montana. Prince Volkonir Moroti, keeper of the magical Golden Lion Knight powers, acts as a vigilante to protect Bozeman from the evil Gwirdons and their slew of monsters and minions. At the same time, he is attending college and is working as a security guard (his cover job) in the elite distinction for the eccentric billionaire inventor Dr. Fred J. Hanom of HanomCorp - a company about to merge with a similar Japanese firm called Sorisenshi. Volkonir is going by the alias of "Vincent Amadeus Mason," as Hanom - a believer in the cause of the Mighty Kingdom - assists the prince in maintaining his cover until the Gwirdons can be defeated and the original planet-kingdom restored. Meanwhile, the evil King Gwirmalesh of Gwirdonia is constantly hatching schemes to steal Hanom's inventions to turn the tide of war - and eventually conquer the entire multiverse that he has been made aware of. For him, It's Personal. He doesn't just want to destroy the Cortascians out of revenge for the death of his daughter, he wants to overthrow God himself - in denial of the consequences! In addition to this, Vinny wants to locate the missing power sets to the other Knights of Cortascius, so he doesn't have to be the only one. He has new friends assisting him that also work for Hanom, and would be eager to become Knights as well once the missing powers are found: Kayla, his ex-con new girlfriend; and Carlos, a keeper of Cortascian secrets trying to flee from his family's drug empire legacy near the border with Mexico. Carlos is just happy to be a part of something greater. Kayla, however, is torn between love and intense lust for the prince.
  • Setting C: The PRCU.
  • Setting F: Crossover Gerosha.
  • Setting G: The Mascotverse.

Following a visit to Japan, and the defeat of the monster Seirsionnach, Vinny has made friends with Masato Yoneda - the latter of whom has accessed the Tapestry with help of a Weaver hiding in Japan. Masato is now protecting Cortascian interests in Japan as the Spectral Hare Samurai, utilizing the Tapestry in the EccentriaCore inside the planet Cortascius a little differently from how the Knights work. Masato is briefly staying with Team Volkonir in Bozeman, primarily to oversee details regarding the business merger.

However, things take a sharp left turn when a Gwirdon spy inside of HanomCorp overhears of Hanom's latest invention - a device that allows for controlled world-hopping. Gwirmalesh immediately sends his newest revived monster - Slaisionnach - to steal the device. The usual antics result, until Slaisionnach proves deadlier and more ruthless than the usual stock of monsters Gwirmalesh sends out. His carelessness destroys the device; causing himself, Vinny, and Kayla to get "glitched" and be abducted by the "Percolation Wave" - a phenomenon that allows for beings to find themselves in foreign universes.

Slaisionnach soon finds himself in the PRTVU, where he gets a job for Rita Repulsa in exchange for her finding a way to unglitch him afterward so he can return to serving Gwirmalesh. Vinny and Kayla are taken in by Tommy, Billy, Kimberly, Zordon, and Alpha - and prove very effective at assisting the Rangers in taking down Rita's monsters due to Cortascian Knight powers being much tougher than Ranger powers.

Jason, Zack, and Trini; meanwhile; find themselves trapped in the EccentriaVerse. Jason is attacked by Slaisionnach before the latter is forcibly teleported away by the Percolation Wave, leading to Jason winding up in the hospital. Zack and Trini get lost, and are arrested by local Bozeman police - who are irritated that Angel Grove isn't a "real" city to their knowledge. They are charged with trespassing, among other things, since they teleported onto restricted HanomCorp grounds.

Feeling responsible, Hanom contacts the Master of Offscreen Dark Matter in a desperate bid to call in a favor. MODM is not the only one who answers the call to help Volkonir and the Rangers kill Slaisionnach so they can go home. When it's revealed that the entire multiverse's stability is threatened by Slaisionnach gong on murder sprees in the PRTVU, the 2017 film Power Rangers also answer the call to aid in destroying the monster. To the surprise of many, the Mighty Moshin Emo Rangers also answer the call! However, MODM can only move around so many characters at once, without straining himself - and having adverse effects on others' personalities. The constant implied violence is only alleviated by the incessant Cringe Comedy, relentless jokes, and increasingly over-the-top performances by characters.

It finally ends with everyone (except Slaisionnach and the other dead monsters and minions) going home - tired and hungry. Some are definitely in a better mood than others about it. Kayla gives a speech after everything's settled down, reminding her friends of how compromised their secrets have become; and that their options down the line will eventually be limited to reclaiming Cortascius or else witnessing themselves all going to prison. Then some new Gwirdon Treaders show up to cause trouble on a highway. The team decide to enjoy what they have while it lasts.


The story was tied in on DeviantArt by the author with a pitch for a sequel to 2017's Power Rangers reboot film, a variation of which can be read here. It also provided various mods to allow for the film Rangers (and Emo Rangers) to have variations of their suits available for download for players of The Sims 4.

It quickly gained over 1100 views on Mod the Sims in the first 2 weeks of being uploaded, though it took from June 18th until July 7th of 2017 for the story to be uploaded in its entirety. It's set right before the "Gung Ho!" episode in the Power Rangers TV series, right after the "Knight and Samurai" 3-parter in season 2 of Dozerfleet's Volkonir, right after "17 and Amphibious" in Camelorum Adventures, right after the events in the Boom! Studios comic Power Rangers: Aftershock, and right after the episode "Weed Better Sober Up" in Mighty Moshin Emo Rangers.

Tropes

  • Catchphrase: "What the Ford-truck?" for Goldar, "I'm an awesome possum!" for Kim 2017.
  • Commedia Dell'Arte: There are shades of this scattered throughout. Hanom in particular fits as the Doctor.
  • Caper Rationalization: Used and abused on multiple levels. First off, Hanom inventing a machine that could endanger the entire multiverse in the wrong hands. He claims it's to expand business opportunities. His real goal is to assist Stan Woudean in creating the Percolation Warriors, so that threats like Gwirmalesh and Xironooti can be dealt with more efficiently.
    • He only doesn't get in serious trouble for it, because technically no law yet exists against such a device in the EccentriaVerse. But when that goes bad after Slaisionnach destroys it and sends the Power Rangers to the EccentriaVerse and two of them get arrested, Hanom needs to find a way to pay their bail. When that fails, he has to convince other Rangers from other universes to help kill Slaisionnach and rescue Vinny and Kayla. The whole time, the police are suspicious of Hanom; but can't prove anything.
    • MODM and Kim 2017's plan to pull a fast one on Officer Marino hinges on both getting Kim out so she can help form the Megazord and on humiliating Marino out of revenge for treating everyone with severely unprofessional levels of disrespect.
    • As Kayla explains to Vanessa at the end, HanomCorp R&D Security Elite is just a big front to hide Volkonir from the authorities. And if exposed, not a single one of them would be found guiltless in a court of law. But maintaining their con game on the public is necessary, in order to keep the war against the Gwirdons contained and avoid a massive war that could lead to Gwirmalesh becoming more ruthless or tactful with his resources.
  • Multiversal Singularity: Big Rapids is implied to (almost) count as this, as pre-2018, "it's the same town everywhere" according to MODM.
  • Product Placement: Played for Laughs with how many different companies and brands are given free advertising, making fun of the fact that the 2017 Power Rangers film made Krispy Kreme a plot point.
    • Creator in Joke: Biggby Coffee of Big Rapids was a setting in Ciem 2 chapter 2. The fanfic author also made an ad for Mancino's Pizza and Grinders of Big Rapids to air for Ferris State television in 2010; hence why Mancino's is where Volkonir and the film Rangers meet up to celebrate their victory in the end.
  • Shout-Out: Ooooohhh boooooy!!! The entire story is littered with these sorts of Easter eggs!
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Super Slaisionnach is weak against...ceramic. Allowing Kim to return him to regular Slaisionnach by smashing his fangs with a Biggby coffee mug!"
