Genesis Rangers

The **Genesis Rangers** (ジェネシス レンジャーズ, *Jeneshisu Renjāzu*) are the primary antagonistic force in the Ztar Island Arc, formerly led by the late Genesis Red.

The Genesis Rangers were an elite team comprising of five "battle robots" created by Dr. Negative, who formerly worked for the Death Trappers. Years after the destruction of Kingdom Island, the Rangers were developed and perfected, and together, they created *Pegasus Beta*.

Dead set on revenge, the Rangers focused solely on killing Silver, engaging both Team Silver and the Elite Squad until being killed by X.

## Personalities and Abilities

Each of the Genesis Rangers have their own personality and fighting style. They tend to differ in abilities, although they all wield large battle axes in battle and are able to remain airborne for extended periods of time. They can also all don dark-toned disguises that were able to trick the inhabitants of Ztar Island into thinking they were one of them too.

* Genesis Red - Red is the leader of the team, and seems to be rather cocky and confident. He doesn't like it when his team is less than helpful, but he does order them to do things with high confidence. He makes snappy remarks at both his enemies and his team, showing a likelihood of being hot-headed and/or impatient. His battle axe skills are parallel to Silver's sword skills, the two dueling with their weapons evenly. However, the mobility of Red's weapon has given him the upper hand in a ranged battle, as he can throw it and have it return like a boomerang. He also has a secret weapon he can summon when in dire need: a large laser cannon he carries over his shoulder. The laser blast from it is immense in size, but the effectiveness of it is difficult to determine due to it being rendered useless by Super X.

* Genesis Silver - Genesis Silver is "the cool one", or at least sees himself as the coolest. He wears shades and doesn't go anywhere without them. He seems to be the "macho-man" as well, recalling that he owes Silver a knuckle sandwich for what he did to Toyota Takashiro. He also called Red a "crazy fool" when he nearly blasted them with the Breaker Breaker X Beam. Genesis Silver is mild-tempered and doesn't get angered easily, acting more like a level-headed and dirty-fighting bully, and he hates Silver the most, making the others call him "Genesis Silver" instead of simply "Silver" when fighting Silver and the Elite Squad. He usually fights side-by-side with Genesis Green, both wielding their signature battle axes. He and Green have the ability to conjoin together to form an axe wheel, which is very effective; when chasing Alpha, they managed to quickly slice a boulder in half.

* Genesis Green - Green is the brains of the group, although he's not much of a fighter and tends to remain quiet most of the time. He gets pretty annoyed most of the time by the stupidity of the team, such as when Yellow craved McDavey's chicken nuggets in the middle of the battle. Green doesn't have very good fighting skills on his own, mostly fighting alongside Genesis Silver and relying on him to perform team attacks. He and Genesis Silver can conjoin together to form a very powerful axe wheel that can cut through most materials.

* Genesis Pink - Pink is the only girl in the group. She, like a stereotypical teenage girl, is into the latest fashions and styles and always wants to look the best. Although she's far from being the strongest member of the team, she still seems to serve as a valuable asset to her team. Pink is a fair fighter but is mostly cheap-shotted by her opponents due to her lack of hindsight. Unlike her teammates, she can float through the air indefinitely, never once having to set foot on the ground. She hasn't demonstrated any outstanding abilities, although she did unleash a series of unique attacks on Nex, which likely would have been effective if Nex wasn't using a force field as a shield.

* Genesis Yellow - The typical klutz and comic relief of the group, also serving as the brawn, next to Genesis Silver. He is a glutton for food and easily side-tracked by it (the word sandwich making him feel like eating McDavey's chicken nuggets. He was shown happily taking an order from Red to destroy X, showing his love of battle, but screamed in fear soon after learning just how powerful X is. Yellow, like the others, wields an axe as his weapon of choice, though his is much larger in size to accommodate his larger body. Oddly, he rarely uses his axe, preferring to fight with his fists and raw physical strength. His signature ability is to combine his fists into one super-powered hammer strong enough to split mountains in half. However, his strength doesn't necessarily imply that he's too slow or heavy, easily chasing Alpha up a mountain and staying in a mid-air battle for the entire duration.

## History

### Background

The Genesis Rangers were created by Dr. Negative, the Death Trappers' chief scientist and a long-time associate of Toyota Takashiro, in order to replace the fallen Death Trappers. After the destruction of Kingdom Island, his lab and his work, save for his creations, was destroyed. Dr. Negative escaped and built a new laboratory within a cave and the Genesis Rangers were completed and perfected, with an objective: find and kill Silver. The Genesis Rangers and Dr. Negative then created *Pegasus Beta*, which served as their headquarters.

Receiving a secret message originating from outer space via Dr. Wrath, the Genesis Rangers were informed of the different Azure Shards. The Genesis Rangers successfully locate and obtain one of the shards on Ztar Island, and begin an assault on the island's inhabitants.

### Part II

#### Ztar Island Arc

Recovering from an attack by the Elite Squad, Silver and the team learn from Alice about two Azure Shards on Ztar Island, and subsequently make preparations to travel to the island. Meanwhile, the Genesis Rangers have successfully enslaved Ztar Island's inhabitants. Unbeknownst to them, however, a group of 3 were able to escape and hide within the forest, wielding an Azure Shard. When Silver and co. arrive on the island, the Genesis Rangers take note of this and hide on *Pegasus Beta*. When Silver frees all the inhabitants of the island, the Genesis Rangers commence their attack. Following a brief skirmish, they stop fighting Silver and watch as the Elite Squad arrive. The Rangers prepare for battle and prove themselves to be a match for Team Silver and the Squad, but are defeated after Silver powerups. Suddenly, the Rangers sense a new power on the island and are surprised by the arrival of X, who secretly followed Alpha and Omega.

Genesis Red rallies his companions and attempt to kill X, homing *Pegasus Beta's* "Breaker Breaker X Beam" on them, but the attack fails. X seemingly kills Genesis Green and severely injures Genesis Red as a taunt. The Rangers try their *Lucky Team Attack*, which seemingly works, however, it only manages to barely injure and amuse X. In a last ditch effort, The Rangers use the "Breaker Breaker X Beam" again, though this time homing in on everybody on the island and retreat, where they find Genesis Green alive on *Pegasus Beta*. Red reveals that he managed to steal one of the Azure Shards from the Elite Squad, but when the Azure Shard lands in the ship's generator, the ship goes out of control and begins destroying the island.

Silver and the team manage to distract X and steal his Azure Shard, narrowly escaping the island with its inhabitants. An injured Red attempts to deactivate the ship's generator, but instead makes it self-destruct by mistake, resulting in an explosion that destroys Ztar Island and kills the Rangers. Unfortunately for them, X successfully escapes.

## Trivia

* They are a parody of the Power Rangers (in turn adapted from the *Super Sentai* series).
* The Genesis Rangers also take influence from *Dragon Ball Z's* Ginyu Force, with Red being Ginyu (minus the ability to switch bodies), Silver being Jeice (except secretly being more powerful than the rest of the Genesis Rangers), Green being Burter, Yellow being Recoome, and Pink being Guldo (with a gender swap, and minus the ability to stop time).
* The Genesis Rangers' mission to find and destroy Silver as revenge for what he did to Toyota Takashiro and the Death Trappers is similar to Androids 17, 18, and 16's mission to find Goku and kill him as revenge for destroying the Red Ribbon Army as a child.
