The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
Prologue:
It Begins
Kairi Angel Scott smiled as she finished the last of her Chemistry homework with the help of one of her best friends, Billy Cranston, the resident genius.
"Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it," she said as she stuffed her Chemistry book into her backpack.
"It's no problem, Kai. It's understandable that Chemistry would not be you strongest focal point. You seem to take to zoological sciences," Billy said softly as he also put his book away. Kai was a nickname her friends had given her. "I don't what's scarier, Bulk in an all-you-can-eat buffet or that I'm beginning to understand you," Kairi teased her shy friend. "I don't think anything beats Bulk, but it's natural that you'd begin to understand my more advanced vocabulary after all the time I've been tutoring you," Billy said taking the teasing in stride. Billy's attitude was one of the many things that had first attracted her to the shy, but sort of cute, genius.
They had been best friends, since they were seven. They had dated secretly for two years, but had peacefully broken up five months prior. The romance that had initially engulfed them had died out; they had come to an agreement that it was best they break up and see other people. To Kairi knowledge, no one knew that they had ever dated, or had even broken. "It's amazing things never got awkward between us. Maybe it's because we've known each other so long," she mused silently.
"What you thinking about, Kai," her older brother, Jason Lee Scott, asked coming over to them; his sparring match with their other friend, Zack Taylor, over. "Nothing important, Jase. Just wondering how long we've all been friends. Where's Trini?" Kairi replied, referring to their other friend, Trini Kwan.
"I think Trini's still practicing her martial arts," Zack answered; as Jason replied," It's been about ten or twelve years, I think."
"That sound's right," Kairi heard her Asian friend, Trini say as she too finished her katas. Of the five of them, Jason, Trini, and Kairi knew karate and were very good at it, but, nonetheless, Jason was the best. Kairi only agreed to take the classes for protection. Although, she never had to really worry, because most people were smart enough to figure that Jason was more than willing to kick anyone's butt that messed with his little sister. Jason was only a year older, but he was taller and stronger. "Let's go to the park and play touch football. I'm bored," Kairi suggested. She heard them all agree and they got up to go to the park when an earthquake struck. Everyone else fled, as the five teens stood with their arms out trying to steady themselves. Kairi looked at Jason to comment that they should get out too, when they were wisped away in flashes of light.
The next thing Kairi knew she was in a sort of dark room with weird computer panels lining each side of her. "What's that," Zack asked as pointing to some sort of small, red robot with a yellow lighting bolt on the front.
"It's a fully sentient, multifunctional automaton. Wow," she heard Billy exclaim. She was about to ask for a translation, when she heard a deep voice say," Welcome to the Command Center. I am Zordon, and this is Alpha Five. I have chosen you to become Power Rangers so you can protect the Earth against Rita Repulsa, an evil sorceress who has escaped from her ten thousand year imprisonment," Kairi turned to find the voice belonging to a giant head encased in a round tube at the center of the front of the room. "Umm... Even if I believed you, which I don't, how could I stand against a sorceress," Kairi asked, the first to get her voice back. "With the help of these. . . They are called Morphers," the tiny robot, Alpha Five, explained holding out five small, gray, handheld devices with a different, gold coin in the each of each. "This is too much. Let's go guys," Zack said, as everyone, but Jason began to leave. "Come on, bro." Kairi said going back to pull Jason out with her.
When they exited they were in the middle of a desert. "Guys, I really think we should help. Think of the good we can do," Jason said stopping, and folding his arms on his chest. "Jase, we were talking to a large, floating head about destroying evil sorceresses. It's not something teens should handle," Zack argued. "Yeah, Let him get someone else, someone older, more experienced," Kairi added. Kairi watched as her brother sighed and headed back, as he got a little further he called," Do what you want. I'm going back to help." Kairi hung her head and ran to follow her brother, with the others following begrudgingly behind. "I can't believe we're gonna considering this. We should let the military handle it," she muttered to herself.
She heard Billy give a shout and fall down. She looked and saw the culprits, two somewhat faceless guy dudes with black markings on their chests. The two gray dudes were soon joined by others. Three came charging toward her poised for attack; she blocked their intial attacks but soon went down as well. She saw, Trini, Zack, and, a few minutes later, Jason fall as well. Just when Kairi was gonna give up a familiar light engulfed them once more.
Kairi got up and immediately noticed that they were inside the Command Center. "Thanks, Zordon, was it? What were those things? Why did they attack us," Kairi asked shooting off questions. She was about to ask more, when her brother silenced her. "Give the guy a chance to answer, Kai," he said, explaining his actions. "That was a Putty Patrol, evil henceman for Rita Repulsa. As to why she attacked you, she knows that I have chosen you to become Rangers. They will continue to attack you until she feels you are no longer a threat to her, but be warned, if you five do not step up the planet is doomed," Zordon said explaining the situation to them. "We'll do it. Those Putties kicked our butts. If it'll help us beat them, we'll do it," Jason said taking charge of the group. Kairi wondered if she was the only one still unsure of the whole thing. "You have done the right thing, Rangers. Zachary Taylor, clever and brave, you shall be the Black Ranger and control the mighty Mastodon. Kairi Scott, although you are small; you are strong and graceful; you shall become the Pink Ranger and control the Pterodactyl. Billy Cranston, you are wise and patient beyond your years, I have chosen you as the Blue Ranger and the Triceratops shall help you. Trini Kwan, fearless and agile, you shall be the Yellow Ranger, with the Saber-toothed Tiger as your guide. Jason Scott, you are both powerful and bold, so therefore I have chosen you as not only the Red Ranger, but to be the leader as well. The Tyrannosaurus shall be yours to command," he added as Alpha gave each of them a certain Morpher. She saw the Pterodactyl on hers. "To use them," Alpha began taking over from Zordon," Just hold them behind you and each of you hold them out one at a time and call out the name of the animal on front." Jason nodded and the group all got into a set position. Jason then called out," It's Morphin' time."
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Triceratops!"
"Sabre-toothed Tiger!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
"Woah," Kairi said softly looking at the pink suit that now donned her. She once again, noticed a medallion with a pterodactyl on the front. "Rangers, the Putty Patrol that attacked you earlier is now attacking Angel Grove. Goldar, another of Rita's hencemen is leading them; observe the veiwing globe," Zordon explained as Alpha Five headed to the crystal ball in front of the left computer panel. She saw a golden-armored wolf-like creature in the park attacking various people and objects. "Come on, guys. Let's get to it," Jason said as they were teleported to the park.
Once at the park, Goldar wasted no time taunting them, "You might as well as give up; you have no hope of ever defeating me." "Hasn't anyone ever told you that good always wins," Kairi asked, her smart-aleck attitude coming out. "I'll have to teach you not to be so cocky, Pinkie. Putties attack," Goldar said pointing his sword at her. Kairi easily dodged the oncoming Putty, while Jason dealt with Goldar. Before long, the Putties were defeated and the five rangers stood before Goldar. "It's five against one, Goldar," Jason all but growled. "I'm not scared of you, puny humans," Goldar answered back. "Rangers, try using your Power Weapons," Alpha said communicating with them.
"Power Axe!"
"Power Bow!"
"Power Lance!"
"Power Daggers!"
"Power Sword!"
"Awesome," Kairi thought looking at her Power Bow. Kairi and Trini, with her Power Daggers attacked first, followed by Billy and Zack, then finally Jason ended the attack with two swipes with his Power Sword. After the attacks, Goldar knelt on one knee gasping for air. A strange wand appeared and he grew to thirty feet, but Kairi guessed Zordon was prepared when he told them to call out for their zords. "We need dinozord power, now!" Jason called out as the zords appeared and they jumped into each of their zords. "All right guys, let's bring them together," Jason said over the communication system. Kairi pressed a series of buttons and was soon in the cockpit of the Megazord. "This is spectacular," Kairi heard Trini say, sounding impressed. "Affirmative," Billy agreed. Kairi silently agreed, but concentrated more on her job. As soon as the battle had began, it had ended with Goldar fleeing.
They went back to the Command Center where they were congratulated by Alpha and Zordon for their first victory. "It was nothing, but luck. I'm still not sure about this guys," Zack said voicing Kairi's inner thoughts. "Whether or not you choose to stay a Power Ranger is up to you, but be warned that there are three rules. One, you must never tell anyone that you are a Power Ranger. Two, never use your powers for personal gain. And last, you must not escalate a battle," Zordon explained. "I'm in, Zordon," Jason stated, not really surprising Kairi. Billy and Trini also choose to become Rangers. Zack surprised Kairi by saying," If ya'll are gonna go through with it, so will I." All heads turned to Kairi." Well, sis? What'll it be," Jason asked. Kairi sighed as she thought for a moment," It's gonna be dangerous. Do I really wanna let my friends go through it alone?"
She sighed once again as she said," I'll do it." She saw Zordon smile happily." Or is that relief on his face?" she pondered momentarily. The others celebrated and talked with Zordon and Alpha, while Kairi stood silent, wondering what she had just gotten herself into. Jason, ever the big brother and somehow sensing her thoughts, put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, smiling at her proudly. She smirked as she brought up the age-old joke," I'm still gonna replace you." Jason laughed as he shook his head," How many times do I have to tell you there's no one better than me?" Trini interrupted the two," We should be heading home before our parents start to worry." "Affirmative, Trini. It would not be the intellectual action," Billy agreed. Everyone was then teleported to their homes, with stern orders from Jason to get some rest.
