Silver Rangers

The **Silver Rangers** are an Old Town Road group featured in the *V2 Universe* television series. After the murder of Sheriff Atticus Mabo by Zora Salazar, who would later go on to instate herself as the Sheriff of Old Town, the Silver Rangers were formed in response to her takeover. Initially, their goal was the overhaul of Zora and her law enforcers; once Zora was overthrown by the Rangers and the Vincent Five, the Silver Rangers became the de-facto police force of the Old Town Road, much like the CCLA in the film timeline.

## Series History

Atticus Mabo was the long-time Sheriff of the Old Town Road until he and his Deputy Deagle were assassinated by Zora Salazar and her gang of raiders and crooks. Zora would go on to claim the title of Sheriff and take over the Old Town personally, nominating her gang of crooks as her deputies and law enforcers. In response, the Silver Rangers began to form in the shadows, with the famed gunslingers Judy, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Lil Nas X becoming the leaders of the rebel group. The group quickly realized that they would need some outside help, and they tasked Dr. Bradley Donahue with sending an S.O.S. to the Vincent Five - more specifically, to Mercer, the hero of the Old Town Road and Atticus Mabo's protege.

Unfortunately, the day the Vincent Five arrived in town to assist the Silver Rangers is the day that Zora intercepted the message that Mercer sent back to Dr. Donahue. Quickly putting two and two together, Zora had Donahue arrested on suspicion of treason and terrorism, and quickly decided to have him publicly executed in front of the Old Town Road. Jane Cassidy and Pony Oakley, two members of the Silver Rangers themselves, attempted to intercept Zora before the execution, but security was far too tight. Zora had the defiant Donahue slain in front of a crowd, and once Mercer confronted her about this, Zora had the famed 'Two Hands' statue obliterated with stacks of dynamite. This is what finally sent Pony and Jane into a rage, attacking Zora and drawing the town into a gunfight between the Rangers and Zora's lawmen.

Pony and Jane would lose the fight, and both the Silver Rangers and Vincent Five were forced to retreat. Pony and Jane were taken into captivity by Zora and slated for execution the following morning, as part of a trap that Zora intended to spring on the Vincent Five and the Rangers - however, Saffron's spying on Zora led her and the Vincent-Rangers to formulate a plan against Zora. V2, Judy, Billy Ray, Lil Nas, and Mercer handled the destruction of Zora's supply route; Saffron secretly formulated a team of rebellious civilians and Silver Rangers lying in wait and manipulated Meyers, overseer of transport, into compliance.

On the day of Pony and Jane's execution, the Silver Rangers, with the help of the Vincent Five and Saffron's collective of armed, anti-Zora citizens, sprung their own trap against Zora right before the execution could commence. The Rangers fought valiantly against Zora's forces, ultimately besting her and her men, but not without a pyrrhic cost - though Pony Oakley was ultimately saved from execution, Jane Cassidy would be shot by one of Zora's snipers in the middle of the battle. Nonetheless, the Old Town Road was saved by the Rangers' efforts - after the burial of Jane and the various Rangers that lost their lives in the battle, Judy would become the Sheriff of Old Town, and the Rangers continue to defend the Old Town Road to this very day.
