Volume I
The New Breed
Episode I
Era of the Engine
It was a regular day on God's green Earth. The setting of our story takes us to Chicago, Illinois, Saint Francis High School. The fun days of summer were waning down, and the boring days of school were beginning. For Michael Pamon, a sophomore, this school year would be his most exciting year ever. He was about to embark on the greatest adventure of his life. So were his fellow friends, Ricardo Cervantes and Evan Baxter, and the dangerous twin sisters, Monica and Savannah Mays.
"Ah... it's great to have a locker on the second floor. No more sore legs..." acknowledged Michael Pamon, an African-American male.
Meanwhile, two girls were staring at him down the hall. They were the twin Filipino-American sisters, Monica and Savannah Mays.
"Monica... who's that in the red shirt?" asked Savannah, sporting her skin tight green shirt and her green-plaited shorts.
"That guy? That's Michael Pamon. He's been going here ever since we were freshmen." said Monica, sporting her yellow jacket, white t-shirt and tight yellow sweatpants.
"The boy who had the retainer!?! WOW, he's changed. Who do you have your eyes set on this year, Monica?" asked Savannah again.
"I'm looking at Rich Cervantes, Michael's friend." said Monica in reply. She saw Ricardo Cervantes, a Mexican-American teenager sporting a black hoody and black pants. He was Michael's best friend.
"Where's Evan today? He wasn't at breakfast." asked Michael to Rich after greeting him.
"He's signing up for Computer Club and Chess Club. I swear, I think he'll be the Billy Cranston of Chicago. (OMG, who in the world is that!) Oh, wait a minute, there he goes." Rich laughed, spotting Evan Baxter, a Caucasian-American teen who was sporting a blue sweater-vest and blue jeans. He was also another one of Michael's best friends.
"Hey, Mike, what's wrong? You look a little weird." Rich stated.
"It's just....I've got this... feeling. I've been having this feeling for a WHILE now. Have you ever felt like…you were meant for something better? Something special?" asked Michael.
"Huh? No, I haven't, actually. Maybe you've got back-to-school jitters." Rich lilted, patting his best friend's shoulder.
Michael shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yeah...maybe."
It was a good first day of school. The kids emptied the halls as quickly as they could. Everyone who had Introduction to Paleontology could not wait to get to that class. Today, there was a special guest in the class, Doctor Thomas Oliver (HOLY JAMA LAMA, WHO'S THAT?), who, unbeknownst to everyone, was a Power Ranger legend, sporting four different colors and changing the face of the Power Rangers' history. Tommy was also an associate to Raymond Pamon, the father of Michael and a advanced designer and renowned scientist.
Just then, the bell rung, and the class was over. Everyone's smile went to a frown as they saw Tommy wave his hand at them, and leaving the room. Now, it was lunchtime. Everyone came to the Cafeteria in a hurry. After the lunch lined died down, Michael looked for a table to sit at. Then, he saw Rich and Evan wave at him, signifying a spot for him. As he reached the table, he saw that Monica and Savannah were also sitting there with them. Michael sat down, and began eating the sloppy joe he had.
Minutes later, after the kids were leaving the cafeteria, there was a loud BOOM. It came from outside, and everyone ran to the window so they could see what it was. It was a very, very large ship, larger than two U.S. battleships put together. Then, it disappeared. But, it left behind surprises. Five monsters appeared from out the smoke and walked towards Michael, Rich, Evan, Savannah, and Monica. The five of them were scared and began to back up. Just then, they were teleported away from the monsters.

"Where are we?" asked Michael.
"I can't see a thing!" quivered Savannah.
"Who's arm is this?" Rich asked.
"That's not my arm, Rich." Monica retorted.
"Hey, do you guys hear that?" asked Evan, hearing a beeping noise.
Just then, the lights came on. They were in some sort of base. Out of the shadows came a robot who addressed the teenagers.
"HELLO, friends! My name is Alpha 8! But you can just call me Alpha or Al!" the robot happily said, revealing its name. It had a voice similar to the original Alpha 5's voice.
"Guys, we have to talk. Oh, I see you've already met Alpha." said Mister Raymond Pamon, Michael's father.
"DAD!?! What's going on here? Where are we? Why are these...things attacking the city?" asked Michael to his father.
"-Sighs-. Well, son... I knew I would have to tell you this sooner or later... Michael, Rich, Evan, Monica, Savannah. You know that I am a scientist, and for years, I've been finding these ripples all around the planet. I built Alpha 8, with some components from Alphas 6 and 7, to help me find out what these readings were." explained Mister Pamon.
"We found out that these ripples were actually Engine Souls, an ancient race of vehicular beings from the Machine World." said Alpha.
"Alpha and I spent MONTHS trying to track down these Engine Souls so we could discover the reason they came to Earth." Mr. Pamon stated.
"We thought we could probably help them." said Alpha 8.
"And then, just merely a few minutes ago before that attack, these Engine Souls appeared to me and Alpha." said Mr. Pamon again.
"And?" Michael asked.
"They wanted us to bring you here. It was weird though, they spoke in this dialog that only Alpha could understand." Mister Pamon replied.
"Why us?" said the sisters together.
"They chose you because, according to them, your souls are the purest among all human beings." said Alpha.
Just then, the teenagers saw a great light glaring from behind them. They turned around, and saw the five Engine Souls. The Engine Soul spoke in the dialog that Mr. Pamon was talking about. Alpha began speaking in their dialog, but they ignored him. They were too busy looking at the teens. After that, an alarm rang. There was danger afoot. The souls looked at the five teenagers, looked at each other, and entered the bodies of the teens, infusing with their own souls.
"Alpha, I think the Engine Souls have chosen their partners to help them stop the Gaiarc Clan." said Mr. Pamon in an excited tone.
"The ....Gaiarc Clan?" asked Rich.
"They are the ones who tried to take over the Machine World long ago." said Alpha.
"They failed, and traveled through a time hole to this year, and now they've found Earth, and want to conquer it. We CANNOT let that happen. Guys, are you ready to accept this responsibility? Are you ready.... to become Power Rangers?" asked Mr. Pamon, opening a box that had five objects, the Engine Morphers.
"OH. MY. GOD. Dudes, this is what I've been telling you about! Power Rangers ARE real!" Evan excitingly said.
"Whoa…THIS is weird." said Savannah.
The teenagers looked at the box, looking reluctant at first. After a few seconds, Michael looked at the others and approached his father.
"Dad... I'm ready." said Michael, grabbing a morpher.
"I want to help." said Rich, grabbing a morpher.
"You can count on me, sir!" said Evan as he grabbed a morpher.
"We're in this, too!" said the sisters as they both grabbed the last two morphers.
"Alright, then. You guys are the newest team of Power Rangers! Now, put on those morphers and stop those Gaiarc Minions that are attacking the city!" Mister Pamon explained.
"To activate your morphers' power, just say 'it's morphin' time'." explained Alpha.
The teenagers put the morphers on, and looked at them. The shine and glimmer of them amazed the teens.
Michael looked at his fellow Power Rangers and said,
"Alright, guys! Let's do it!"
"Right!" yelled the others.
Michael looked at the morpher and yelled, "IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"
And with the push of the morpher's handle, they each started up their morpher's power.
"Engine Ranger, YELLOW! The Sweet Angel!" yelled Monica as her Morphing Sequence was complete.
"Engine Ranger, GREEN! The Vagabond!" yelled Savannah as her Morphing Sequence was complete.
"Engine Ranger, BLUE! The Cyclopedia!" yelled Evan after his Morphing Sequence was complete.
"Engine Ranger, BLACK! The Chaser!" yelled Rich after his Morphing Sequence was complete.
"Engine Ranger, RED! The Speed King!" yelled Michael after his Morphing Sequence was complete.
"ENGINE SQUADRON!" yelled all of the Rangers after they all completed their morphing sequences.

They teleported to Downtown Chicago, where the Gaiarc Minion's were reeking havoc. The rangers ran in towards them, and the minions looked on in confusion.
"HEY, Gaiarc minions! We're here to stop you and send you back to whatever crater you came from!" said Michael.
"What? Who are these spandex-wearing freaks?" asked one the Minions.
"With the might of a bear, Engine Squadron Yellow Ranger!" Monica lited as she formed a pose.
"With the exterior of a shark, Engine Squadron Green Ranger!" Savannah said as she formed a pose.
"With the strength of a lion, Engine Squadron Blue Ranger!" Evan said proudly while forming a pose.
"With the skill of a wolf, Engine Squadron Black Ranger!" proclaimed Rich proudly, forming a pose.
"With the speed of a condor, Engine Squadron Red Ranger!" Michael bravely stated, forming a pose.
"POWER RANGERS, ENGINE SQUADRON!" they all yelled together. As they were in their poses, red, black, blue, green, and yellow smoke appeared behind them. Then, an explosion followed after, signifying the new breed of Power Rangers.
"You OBVIOUSLY don't know who we are, now do you, Power Rangers?" asked one of the Minions in an electronic robot voice.
"You're the Gaiarc Clans' Minions! We've already heard your story!" said Evan.
"Yeah, and you look pretty pathetic, too!" Rich stated.
"And you're just plain ugly!" Savannah said.
"These Power Rangers are a threat to our clan. Attack them!" one Minion ordered to the others.
"Alright, guys! Let's get 'em!" said Michael as he began to run towards one of the Minions.
Michael started fighting five Minions. He spun, and then kicked one in the face. His helmet's HUD told him that a Minion was sneaking from behind. He used his new super speed powers to gain the upper hand. Michael ran behind one of the Minions before it could attack him, and then he kicked the Minion into another one. He looked around, and Michael saw that a few more Minions had joined the party. He sped up on top of a building, and then jumped off of it. Michael landed on top of two Minions, crushing them. He then pulled out the weapon that was in his holster, the Engine Blaster. He performed a spin attack, spinning around and shooting at the Minions. Before Michael knew it, the Minions he was facing were gone.
Evan began fighting two Minions, but more showed up in the fight. He activated his special powers to get rid of the Minions easily, his super strength. Evan punched a Minion in the chest, sending the Minion flying into a billboard. He put his attention to another Minion that attacked him head on. BIG mistake. Evan took his fist and punched the Minion in the face, sending that Minion flying into the same billboard as the other one. Evan then did a spin kick on two Minions. After the kick followed a blast from his Engine Blaster. Before Evan knew it, the Minion's he was facing ran away out of fear.
Next up was Rich. He activated his special powers, enhanced hearing and sight. With this power, he is able to sense and hear any danger in and out of battle and is also able to track anyone he so wants by finding their energy readings. Seconds after he activated his power, two Minions made an attempt at sneaking up behind him. Of course, he heard them. So, he laid a trap. Rich began to run into a wall, then he ran UP the wall, jumped behind the Minion's and attacked them by kicking the both of them into the wall. Then, Rich sensed another two Minions coming from a building above. They began to fall off the building, hoping to jump on Rich. But, they were too slow. Rich jumped high into the air and shot the two minions with his Engine Blaster before they could attack him. He jumped off the building, as three more where going up. They past each other, and Rich turned, shooting the three Minions in the back. Before he knew it, the Minions he was facing were gone.
Savannah activated her powers that allowed her to have impenetrable skin. She blocked several Minions' attacks and used her skin to attack them as well. Then, she took a spin, and elbowed one Minion in the stomach. Then, she pulled out her Engine Blaster and put it into Rod Mode. She hacked and slashed her way through five Minions. She then put it back into Blaster Mode, and shot three Minions.
Monica soon followed suit. She activated her powers of light, taking down seven Minions by blurring their vision with light. Afterwards, she took out her Engine Blaster and fired it at one Minion in front of her, and then she fired it at one Minion behind her. Then, she went over to her sister and grab her right hand with her left arm. While spinning, they fired at seven Minions, destroying them. Now, they were back-to-back. They were surrounded by Minions. They then did a signature move, the "Back-To-Back Spin Attack." Doing this move, they defeated all the Gaiarc Minions surrounding them.
"That's right, you bozos! Go back to wherever you came from!" said Michael.
"Because with us in around..." said Evan.
"You won't be able to take down this town..." said Rich immediately after Evan.
"Not even Earth will fall into your danger..." said the sisters in unison.
"Because WE'RE.... THE POWER RANGERS, ENGINE SQUADRON!" said the Rangers altogether, forming signature poses.
They powered down, and headed back to the Command Center, which was conveniently under the Pamon Mansion. As they wandered around in the Command Center, they spotted Mister Pamon and Alpha, along with a mysterious pink robot. Mister Pamon walked up to them, with a face of happiness.
"Guys... that was AMAZING! The powers of the Engine Souls! So unreal!" said Mr. Pamon, who looked as if he wanted to study the Engine Soul powers. "How do you all feel?"
"I... I feel great!" Michael happily sang out.
"Yeah, so do I!" said Rich
"This is that feeling I was telling you about, Rich!" Michael said to Rich.
"Well done, Rangers!" said the mysterious pink robot, "Oh how rude of me, I didn't introduce myself! I am Bomper. The Engine Souls created me to help Mr. Pamon with creating weapons and other items to add to your arsenal."
"Wow, that's great! When will we be able to check theses toys out?" asked Monica, rubbing her hands together.
"Well, you can start with these. Your Go-Phones. These are special phones designed ONLY for contact between each of you and the Command Center." said Mr. Pamon. The rangers each took a Go-Phone and clipped it on their pants.
"More weapons and items will be revealed in all due time. Enjoy, rangers!" Bomper proclaimed.
"But, Rangers, I think it's time you knew who you will be dealing with. Turn to the viewing globe, please." said Alpha. "This is General Yogos, leader of the land Minions. He's the one who you all saw earlier, before we teleported you here." The image was of a silver and large robot-looking creature with a sword, watching Gaiarc Minions working on the Gaiarc capital ship.
The picture then changed to another being, a humanoid-like woman with a large jetpack of some kind on her back. In the veiwing globe, she was shown with a whip, torturing Gaiarc Minions.
"This is General Kelisa. She leads the sea Minions." said Bomper.
Then, the viewing globe showed a large, golden robot with a large staff.
" This is General Neidas, leader of the sky Minions and the most powerful of the three Generals." said Mister Pamon .
"And this.... is their ruthless Overlord, King Ugatz." said Alpha. The next Gaiarc member was the most gruesome-looking monster the Rangers had ever seen. With a large, silver staff, and a long silver cape, he had broad shoulders and a silver, red, and golden body. His head had horns, and his face was indescribable.
"Rangers, these Generals and their leader are very, very powerful, and you will have to fight them some time in your Ranger lives. But, what will happen in the new chapters of your life will be very, VERY difficult. And Earth needs you to fight for her. But, if any of you want to back down now, you can put your morphers back into the box." said Mr. Pamon.
None of the rangers moved. They wouldn't back down now, they couldn't. They WANTED to protect Earth. They WANTED to stop these evil forces. They are the Power Rangers, and nothing will stop them from fighting for the Earth and the people they love and cherish most.
[I]MEANWHILE....[/I]
"WHAT! Are you telling me that a couple of teenagers DESTROYED the entire army I sent out!?!?!" said a dark figure.
"My lord... they were aided by the Engine Souls... I saw them for myself." General Yogos freightenly said.
"WHAT!?! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THOSE ENGINES FOLLOWED US HERE AND HAVE FOUND PARTNERS TO TRY AND STOP US!?!" Overlord Ugatz yelled.
"Y-yes my Lord. These five seem to be calling themselves, the Power Rangers." replied Yogos.
"THE POWER RANGERS!?!" yelled Overlord Ugatz in craze.
"Y...yes, my lord." Yogos replied.
"Get out of my sight, Yogos. Your failure might rub off on me." the Overload ordered. Yogos then exited the room. Ugatz turned his throne chair around, looking out his window. Looking at Earth, he sat back and said, "I must find a way to remove these power freaks and execute my plan."
