It's been almost 20 years since the machine empire first attacked earth. Unlike what you may “remember” we had no new powers, no new zords and no second chances.  They took out the megazord first, then Zordon and the command center. That's when Earth decided to negotiate. 

The treaty signed, the Empire's technology began to spread. At first it was what you would expect: phones, tvs, computers…. Then weapons, then they replaced human officers with robots. Do you want to guess what happened next? Total control.

We almost lost kim in that last battle, almost. Jason and kim got married, I didn't see that coming but hey they were happy, were is the key word here. Jason was gunned down just after the wedding, we think he was given up by Bulk and Skull who miraculously came into some money that same time. Unfortunately we would never know as they partied too hard, or rather  spent too much time chasing the dragonzord if you catch my drift.

Rocky left us, actually he joined the new empire. Now he is their top enforcer, the Empires Red Ranger.  I’m not really sure what happened to him, but last I saw him he has a robotic leg and a bad attitude. 

We lost to Trini first. Hre death was ruled an accident, however no one really believes that. She was an outspoken opponent of the treaty. Her funeral was the last time I saw everyone. 

Billy was successful, started his own company, made billions, came out of the closet ( i was so happy for him) and yet like the others was murdered just last week, and i’m being blamed.

Zack…. Zack tried to take his hip hop kido mainstream but past some minor Billy Blanks level fame nothing really came of it. He too joined the Empire. Not for the pay, or the power but so he could continue to lose himself in battles. He was found just last night, done the same as billy.

Kim kept fighting, leading the resistance for a while. Rocky has her now however. I know it’s a trap for me.  For the white ranger. Too bad he was destroyed with the megazord. 

I’m all that's left of the rangers now. 

My name is Tommy Oliver,

(not to be greedy since you said you're already working on a different AU for me 😅 but your post immediately got my creative juices flowing. Not that you have to accept any of my ideas, this is all your brainchild. Consider this my AU of your AU.😅 )

-When his twin brother Eric joined a Ninja Academy to clandestinely fight the Machines he tried to get Conner to come along, but he refused, thinking things would either blow over or the Power Rangers would deal with it. A week later the entire academy was slaughtered. The guilt eats at Conner constantly.

-Fueled by rage and grief Conner joins the human resistance movement. Their numbers are few and their weapons are primitive but they do what they can to save citizens from the machines. He hates seeing his reflection in the shiny armor of the machines because he just sees Eric so he bashes them as quick and as hard as he can. He's known as a hot headed but effective warrior by the group.

-Eventually Tommy meets up with the group and they join forces against the Machines. While the rest of the group looks at Tommy as the de facto leader due to his powers and experience, Conner is initially distrustful of Tommy (and Power Rangers in general) because on some level he blames their failure to stop the Machines for Eric's death. He constantly challenges Tommy's decisions and ideas and they butt heads frequently. Though after awhile (a LONG while) they develop a mutual respect and brothers-in-arms relationship.
