Hey guys! Charlotte 'Charlie' Hartley back with a new original Power Ranger series! If you're new to my works, you do not have to read my other stories to understand this, however, some characters will be reappearing from the past, though, I'll put a bit of an introduction when you see them so you don't have to go through a whole other story! This takes place in the summer after Power Rangers: Dino Squad, for those of you that have read that.
I am so glad to be writing this, as I have had this planned from even before Power Rangers: Dino Squad was even out, and I really love the characters for this season so hopefully I do them good and portray them how I would like to.
This series will contain more mature things because I'm pretty sure the majority of my readers are teenagers, and I would like to put in more things they can relate to. Oh, and I hope the scenes of the high school seem realistic enough, I'm basing them off of my own high school.
Nick is portrayed by Beau Mirchoff
Jordyn is portrayed by Emma Watson
Renee is portrayed by Georgia May Foote
Kyro is portrayed by Adam Levine
Liela is portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence
Robbie is portrayed by Jimmy Pinchak
I hope you guys enjoy it! Leave a review/fav/follow! It will be greatly appreciated!
Standard disclaimer: If I owned Power Rangers, I wouldn't be writing fanfiction about it on here! Saban owns it. I also do not own any of the actors used in the series.
The earth had been at peace all summer, and now, on the morning of August 18, 2022, all of the teenagers of Sol Valley were going back to school. After the city had been damaged earlier that year, extensive repairs were made to make sure the town was livable and the buildings were not going to collapse under the slightest pressure.
Up on a hill, just on the outskirts of town, was the Command Center. It was previously another building that had fallen in the last battle, but, a new building arose from the rubble of the old one. The Command Center was truly a sight to see; it was made of practically bulletproof glass, was two stories tall, and overlooked a private beach.
Inside the command center, a seventeen year old boy stood, packing his backpack with the things he was told he would need for school. He was quite tall, standing at 6'1, and had brown hair, fair skin, a handsome face, and animated green eyes. He wore a plain red t-shirt, ripped blue jeans, and converse.
"Nick!" A female voice called. The female in question, Renee, ran into his new room and smiled brightly. "Are you ready for our first day in the real world?" The fifteen year old female stood shortly at 5'1, and had long raven black hair, tan skin, a beautiful face, and excited gray eyes. She wore a mid-thigh length yellow dress and strappy wedges. She had a brown purse slung over her shoulder and her hair was swept to the right side.
Nick nodded and pulled his red Jansport backpack onto his back. It hung a bit low, and Nick pulled the straps to make them tighter. The two walked outside of his room. "Where's Jordyn?"
Renee giggled. "Probably invisible." Jordyn was Renee's best friend, and also had the power to turn invisible. Jordyn had a hard time controlling her powers, unlike Renee.
"Ha ha, very funny." Another female voice drifted from behind them, and Jordyn caught up to them. She was 5'5, with average length dirty blonde hair, pale skin, and brown eyes. She was wearing a dark brown leather jacket over a blue shirt over black skinny jeans over black combat boots. She had her hair down and a blue backpack slung over her shoulder.
The three walked downstairs, a dreadful feeling filling up their minds. They had never really been outside of the Command Center, nor had they ever gone to real school.
They walked through the living room and into the foyer, where Kyro and Liela were waiting for them. Kyro had raised them since they were very young, and Liela was his assistant. They were very close to the two. The two had previously taken on the challenge of creating a ranger team and fighting against the Deboss army, and the battle was won.
Kyro stood in front of them. "You all know what this means, correct?"
Jordyn and Renee nodded, but Nick did not. "No. What does what mean?" Nick asked, confused. Jordyn gave an exasperated sigh from behind him, and Nick glared at her.
"It means," Kyro said with a smile. "You three are starting your mission. The enemy has not made himself known yet, but he will, and you three need to be prepared for it."
"What does that have to do with sending us to high school?" Nick asked, raising an eyebrow. He, personally, enjoyed their private school lessons from Kyro and Liela. He didn't know what high school had in store for him, but he wasn't sure if he was going to like it.
"You three need to blend in. I can't just teach you here and then have you roam the streets, fighting monsters. It may look suspicious. Besides, you three need to get used to the real world. You're almost adults. How can you expect to succeed in life without experiencing it first?" Kyro answered. "Here," He handed them three bracelets, a blue one for Jordyn, a yellow one for Renee, and a red one for Nick. "These are your morphers. In case of trouble, use them to help you fight."
The three nodded, and Kyro and Liela stepped out of the way, allowing them to step out of the large double door. Liela closed the door behind them, and the three stood there for a second, taking in their surroundings.
Jordyn took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of the sea and the grass. "It smells nice out here."
"My perfume smells better." Renee smiled confidently, and began to walk down the hill, towards the school. Jordyn quickly followed, arguing that the outdoors was nicer than her perfume. Nick looked out at the town. It was peaceful, and Nick didn't know how he felt about having a monster ruin what was just re-built.
"Nick!" Jordyn called, both girls looking back at him. He looked at them questioningly. "Are you coming?"
He nodded, and ran to catch up with them.

After the three got their schedules, they met back up in the front of the school. SVHS was not a small school, in fact, there was about 2000 students attending the school, and the three stood, staring at the massive clumps of people reuniting with their friends after a long summer break. Sol Valley High was an outdoor high school, with no indoor hallways or lockers. Only the rooms were actually indoors. There were multiple buildings around the edge of the campus, one building right in the middle, and the rest was areas for people to hang out or chat with friends. There was a large grassy area on the left side of the middle building, and many lunch tables scattered around the school in clumps.
"Jesse!" A short female came running past the three with a large smile plastered on her face. She ran into the open arms of a tall blonde haired boy, who laughed in response and kissed the top of her head. "Hey, Robin." He smiled.
She then preceded to hug the pale, raven haired boy next to her, dressed in blue. "Hey Spence." She greeted after he did.
"I already like this place." Renee smiled.
"I don't." Nick shook his head. "There are way too many people."
"That's how high school is, silly." Renee nudged him with a smile.
"How do you know?" Jordyn asked, leaning over Nick to glance at her best friend.
"All last week, I watched everything I could about high school. It seems really fun." Renee smiled.
"That's just the media, Renee." Jordyn rolled her eyes. "Its probably not like that."
Renee waved her off. "How would you know?"
Jordyn opened her mouth to retort, but a loud ringing sound went throughout the school. The three jumped in surprise. The three had enhanced senses, and the sound was much louder to them than it was for anyone else.
"What is that?" Nick asked, covering his ears with his hands. The three saw some people giving them strange looks, and everyone walking towards the school.
"It's the bell. It means we have to go to our class." Renee answered, a little louder than necessary. The bell stopped ringing and the three looked at their maps. "My first class is Physical Education?" She asked, her expression turning sour. "I have to go to the gym." She grumbled.
"Mine is too." Jordyn smiled. She did honestly enjoy exercising, unlike Renee. She turned to Nick. "What's yours?" Nick was a junior, while they were sophomores, and their classes were a bit different.
"English three." He frowned. He wasn't a very big fan of English. Nor math. Nor science. Nor history. He didn't like learning very much, and he wasn't very good at it either. "I have to go to... E05?" He frowned again. On the map, this classroom was behind lockers and five other classrooms.
"You'll find it." Jordyn assured him, patting him on the shoulder before the two left him alone.
He sighed and began to walk in the direction of the E building. He was looking at his map when he collided with someone, making both himself and the other person fall back. The other person noticed Nick's impressive build and tall stature and seemed frighten. "Oh man, I'm so sorry. I.. I didn't mean to bump into you." He stuttered. He was very short for a male, standing only at 5'2, with blonde hair, very pale skin, and dark blue eyes. "Here." He handed Nick his map back and waited for something to happen.
However, Nick just stood up and brushed himself off. "Hey, it's okay."
The boy was about to scurry off, but Nick grabbed his arm. "Do you know where E05 is?"
He nodded, still slightly shaken. "You're a junior?" Nick nodded slowly. "Me too. That's actually where I was heading. D.. do you want me to take you?"
Nick smiled. "Yeah."
The two walked in a bit of silence, before the boy broke it. "I'm Robert, by the way, but you can call me Robbie." Nick nodded and smiled, but didn't respond. Robbie frowned and raised an eyebrow at his strange behavior. "What's your name?" He finally asked.
"Nick." He answered shortly.
"Is that your full name?"
"No."
"Oh." Robbie could feel the awkward tension between them, and wondered why. The guy seemed nice enough, just a bit off. "I haven't seen you around before. Are you new?"
"Yeah."
"Did you just move here?"
"No."
"Were you home-schooled or something?"
"Yeah."
"So you haven't had much contact with the outside world, I assume." Robbie said, thinking that it was the only logical reason as to why Nick was acting the way he was.
Nick finally looked over at him, a small smile on his face. "Not really. It's just been me and my two friends, Renee and Jordyn."
"You live with your two friends? Who are girls?" Robbie asked, his eyebrows raising in surprise.
Nick nodded. "Yeah."
Robbie smiled a bit. This guy was so new to the real world, that he had no idea that this was not a normal occurrence. "That's really cool. Did you ever.. you know, get with either of them?"
Nick frowned as they neared an open room of lockers. "Get with them?"
"You know, like date them?" Robbie asked as they stopped outside of the classroom, which was behind a door in the room of lockers.
"Date?" Nick asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
Robbie chuckled. He had never met someone like this, though he liked this guy. He was nice, and he needed someone to teach him the ways of the real world. "I have a lot to teach you."
He opened the door and let Nick in before him. Most of the class was already there, and the only seats open were in the front. The teacher, Mrs. Cain, stood near the door, checking schedules to make sure all of the students went to the right class on the first day. She checked Robbie's and Nick's schedules and the two went to sit down, with Nick sitting next to Robbie, as he was the only person he knew. Nick noticed some people staring at him as if he was an alien, but tried to ignore it.
Mrs. Cain walked to the front of the class room when she was finished checking schedules. She introduced herself, and began to talk about what to expect this year in English. Nick sighed and leaned his head against his fist. This is gonna be a long year.

A portal opened in an underground cavern unknown to the city of Sol Valley. Out stepped four generals and thousands of foot soldiers behind them. Robotic monsters also followed.
A large screen sat in the dark room, and it displayed a black background with a white line on it. "Who dare approach the Red Code Virus?!" The white line moved in correspondence with the voice.
The four generals came baring a software card, and a laser shot out and destroyed it. "Venjix!" One of the generals, Crunch, cried. He angrily punched the ground, usually not enough to make any of the generals tremor, Tenaya 7 stumbled and fell back through the portal as it closed.
Kilobyte laughed. "Good riddance." He approached Red Code and bowed before him. "We have come from the Corinth dimension to help you, Red Code. We are here to serve you."
Red Code was silent for a moment. "Good," He said. "Sent out a monster."

"And that's what dating is." Robbie finished telling Nick as they walked to a lunch table Nick, Renee, and Jordyn had picked out very early that morning to meet at. Renee and Jordyn were already sitting there as the two approached. Robbie stopped him before they got there. "Those are your friends?" Robbie asked, and Nick nodded in confusion. Robbie was acting like the Queen of the world just walked into the room. "Dude, you're so lucky."
"Why?" Nick asked. He knew that the two were great friends, but Robbie's reaction was very sudden brash.
"They're so beautiful." Robbie said, smiling up at the much taller male.
Nick nodded. He had noticed this before, but Jordyn and Renee were like sisters to him, and after hearing what dating and loving someone in that way was all about, be knew he didn't think of them in that way. He looked around as the two finally moved forward to sit down. Multiple people were staring at them, and Nick found it strange. "Why are people staring?" He asked aloud, and various people quickly looked away from them. However, some were very blunt about it and did not care.
Robbie cleared his throat a bit before answering. "Ask questions like that more quietly." He said, "But, people are just staring 'cause you guys are new. Everyone loves the new kids." He looked at Renee and Jordan, and found them staring questioningly at him. "I'm Robbie."
"Oh, I'm Renee!" Renee held her hand out, and Robbie shook it. From the 'research' she had been doing on people and high school, she knew how to introduce herself properly, though the extreme peppiness in her voice turned a few people away.
Renee nudged Jordan when she didn't respond, and Jordyn introduced herself.
The four talked a bit, with Robbie telling them a bit about the real world. Then, Robbie stood up. "Are you guys hungry? We can go get some lunch if you want."
"We brought our own." Nick said as the three brought out sandwiches Liela had made for them. Robbie gave them a small smile as a few people gave them strange looks. "How about tomorrow we buy lunch? People around here don't really bring lunch to school."
Nick nodded with a smile. "Of course."
"I'll be right back, alright?" The three nodded and Robbie disappeared into the cafeteria.
"He seems really nice." Renee commented.
"He is." Nick nodded.
The three ate their lunch in silence, before they heard screams coming from the cafeteria. People were running out frantically in fear as robotic foot soldiers attacked them. The three stood up almost automatically and ran over to help. Renee and Jordan ran to help people get out while Nick ran forward. He used his ability, super speed, to rush forward in a blur and sweep through a group of the foot soldiers, namely Grinders.
He then saw the monster. It was modeled after an incinerator and looked menacing. Nick was taken aback for a moment, as he had yet to see a monster before. He saw six other people helping Renee and Jordan fight off the Grinders, and decided to take on the monster. He remember what he was told, and, seeing as there wasn't that many people around, decided it was time.
He threw his arm with the bracelet up in the air and yelled, "Data Surge, Charge!" He heard Renee and Jordyn yell it from behind him as well, and they suddenly morphed.
Renee was yellow, Jordyn was blue, and Nick was red. They all had black and gold designs that had a computer software theme. They had a gold weapon belt and had headlights just above their eyes on the helmets. Jordyn and Renee had skirts on their suits.
"Weapons!" They called, and their individual weapons appeared in their hands.
"Data Saber!"
"Data Crossbow!"
"Data Shot!"
Jordyn and Renee continued to fight the Grinders, as the six who were helping them watched in a state of shock. "I thought Kyro was gone," A short, blonde girl whispered to the raven haired boy.
He nodded. "Me too, Alice, me too."
Nick, however, faced the robot. "Who are you?" Nick demanded, pointing his sword at the robot. He failed to notice Robbie sitting on the ground nearby, watching everything with a shocked smile.
The robot growled but did not answer. It shot blasts of fire at him, and he ducked and rolled out of the way, making his way towards the bot. He used his super speed for a burst and yelled, "Data Saber, Strike!" He ran his sword through the monster, and it grunted in pain as sparks flew from its body and it flew back into some lunch tables.
Jordyn came running in next, after Renee and her had destroyed the Grinders. "Data Crossbow, Fire!" She yelled and shot multiple times at the bot, making it spark like crazy.
Renee came up next, "Data Shot, Fire!" She yelled, launching a massive energy blast at the bot, which sent it flying out the doors and rolling into the grass.
"Hurry!" Jordyn yelled to Nick and Renee, "he's over there!"
The three lined up in front of the bot, "Quick, combine weapons!"
The Data Saber laid into the top of the Data Crossbow, and the Data Shot sat on top. "Locked on target," Renee informed. "Ready,"
"Set," Jordyn said.
"FIRE!" The three yelled and blasted the Attackbot back. The attack bot laid on the ground and shut down. It disappeared and the rangers demorphed. Students came out of the classrooms and cheered, though they had not seen the three morph or demorph.
Robbie came up to them and pulled them back to their table. "You guys are the Power Rangers?" He asked, an overly excited smile on his face.
The three looked at him seriously. "Keep your voice down," Jordyn growled. "We can't get caught because of a loudmouth."
Robbie gave her a frown, but nodded. "But really?" He whispered. "How did this even happen?"
Nick put a hand on his shoulder. "That's a story for tomorrow. You've had too much excitement for one day."
Robbie leaned back and nodded in agreement. "That was crazy." He smiled. "I think this is the beginning of the best year ever."
The three rolled their eyes and laughed.
