The students of Royal Creek High School had finished last period and were exiting the school.
An African American boy was seated outside on the school benches with his headphones in.
"Where are they?" He wondered to himself.
He looked at the entrance of the school and saw a young Fillipino boy skateboarding out and right towards him. The boy came right to a stop in front of him.
"What took you so long Brandon?" The boy asked.
"Oh nothing, I had to finish a test...and by the way Ms. Perez was looking for you Clifton." Brandon said.
"What for?" Clifton asked.
"I have no idea."
"Whatever it is, it can wait until monday, and where's Natasha?" Clifton asked.
"Last time I saw her she was with Barry and Rosario." Brandon said.
"Eh, we'll see her later." Clifton said.
"Let's get going." Brandon said.
The two got up and departed.
They decided to take the scenic route home and walked along a forest path.
"So, have you asked Mary out yet?" Brandon asked.
Clifton sighed.
"I'd rather not talk about it." He said.
"C'mon! Don't be such a baby!" He said.
"Let me remind you that you cried everytime I asked you about that Hailey girl." Clifton said.
"Aww, now why'd you have to bring that up bro?" Brandon said.
"Because you brought up Mary." Clifton said.
While the two best friends were conversing, a metorite was rocketing towards them.
While the two were chatting, the meteorite made a crash landing about 15 yards away from them.
The impact caused the ground to shake and Brandon to fall off of his skateboard.
"Holy crap!" He shouted.
"What is it?" Clifton said as he lurked closer to it. When Clifton got close enough to the crater he looked inside.
Inside was a bright glowing orb with a woman in mythical armor cradling it.
"Brandon! Get over here! There's a woman in the crater!" Clifton said jumping down into it. Brandon scrambled over to it and met Clifton down in the crater.
"Whoa...what's that thing she's holding?" Brandon said.
"Nevermind that, what ever it is it looks important, grab it and I'll get her." Clifton said. Once they made it out of the crater the woman came to.
"Ungh...leave me be, I will only cause you harm." She groaned.
"What? You're hurt we've got to get you somewhere safe." Clifton said.
As they continued to walk they were halted by an energy blast knocking them all off of their feet.
They stirred slowly.
"Wha-what are those!" Brandon shouted.
In front of them were a group of martian like creatures with odd shaped weapons grunting loudly. Infront of them a monster who appeared to be female spoke.
"Okay Terrona, hand over the Universal Orb." She hissed.
"I cannot do that Niyalax."
Terrona rose to her feet.
In a flash of brilliant light she summoned a sword.
"You can't fight in your condition, surrender the Universal Orb and I'll make your death swift and painless."
Niyalax commanded.
"I refuse." Terrona raised her sword up high and a bolt of electricity slammed into Niyalax and her creatures.
"Let's go." Terrona said running off into the woods. Brandon picked up the Universal Sphere and followed right behind Terrona and Clifton.
"Let's bring her to the Cove!" Clifton said.
"Right!" Brandon said.
They ran deeper into the forest, down a steep hill and into a cave.
They laid the battered space warrior down and leaned her against the wall.
"Okay, what did you get us into?" Brandon yelped.
"She's hurt! I couldn't just leave her there!" Clifton shot back.
The two began bickering but Terrona hushed them.
"Please stop fighting." She said.
Brandon sighed.
"What are we gonna do? They're gonna find us eventually."
"Not unless we stop them."
"Are you crazy bro? Did you not see the freaky alien lady and her army of hideous martians?"
"I did, but really that doesn't scare me." Clifton said.
Terrona noticed that the Universal Orb was glowing faintly.
"They may be as good as anyone right now..." She mumbled.
"Hey, you okay lady?" Brandon asked.
"Let me ask you, does this world matter to you?"
Clifton raised an eyebrow.
"Of course, it does, without it we'd have no where to live." Clifton said.
"What if I gave you the power to fight for it? What if I gave you the power to become earth's defenders and protect everything you hold dear? What if I gave you two the chance to become Power Rangers?"
"Gah...Power Rangers? That's not something your average sophmore does." Brandon stammered.
"So? I say we do it." Clifton said.
"Are you crazy?" Brandon asked.
"She can't fight them, and I'm pretty sure the army will get decimated so what other choice do we have?" Clifton said. After thinking about it Brandon spoke.
"Fine. Let's do it." He said.
Clifton turned to face Terrona.
"We're ready." He said.
Terrona nodded.
"Place your hands on the Universal Orb and focus on being one with the energy of the Cosmos." Terrona said placing the orb on a high slab of rock.
"You ready bro?" Clifton asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Brandon responded.
The two placed their hands on the orb and were slowly engulfed by an illuminating light that woukd forever change their lives.
*-PRCS-*
Once the light faded Clifton and Brandon looked at each other.
"I feel different." Clifton said.
"I know, I feel stronger." Brandon said.
"The power of the Cosmos has become one with you." Terrona said.
Clifton looked at his wrists. The left had a sliver band and the right had a red one. Brandon had a silver band on the left and a blue band on the right.
"What are these?" Brandon asked.
"You're Cosmic Bands. They allow you to transfrom into the Cosmos Squad Power Rangers. When you do transform say Power of the Cosmos, Transcend the Heavens." Terrona said.
"Well, okay then, let's go send these guys packing!" Brandon said punching his fist into his palm.
"Be careful you two." Terrona said.
"No problem." Clifton said as the two took off. The two bolted through the woods and to a clearing where Niyalax and her creatures known as Trookas we're searching.
"Oh, you two again! Where is Terrona and the Universal Orb?" She shouted.
"Uh, we're gonna keep you on a need-to-know basis as in you do NOT need to know." Brandon said.
"Well then! Die!" Niyalax shouted.
"I don't plan on it just yet! You ready?"
"Ready!"
The two lifted their arms and crossed them in an 'X'
"Power of the Cosmos!"
They brought their right arm around in a 360 motion before thrusting it towards the sky.
"Transcend the Heavens!"
Clifton is in the air with his arms apart.
The Cosmic Bands glow and emitted a light that engulfed his body from the neck down. The light faded and his red and white ranger suit appeared. Two small steel versions of Mars appeared on his left and right ears to form the helmet.
Brandon is in the air with his arms apart. The Cosmic Bands glow and emitted a light that engulfed his body from the neck down. The light faded and his blue and white ranger suit appeared. Two small steel versions of Neptune appeared on his left and right ears to form the helmet.
"No! They've tapped into the power of the Universal Orb!" Niyalax cried.
"You're damn skippy!" Brandon said pointing at her.
"Let's get her!" Clifton said. And with that, the two charged at Niyalax.
"Oh no you don't! Trookas!" She commanded. The foot soldiers went charging at the two.
Brandon jumped over Clifton and punched a Trooka, sending it flying.
"Whoa!" Brandon said.
Clifton kicked a Trooka in the chest and then punched another.
"Nice." He said.
Brandon picked up two Trookas and threw them into a group of five.
He flipped a Trooka over his shoulder and quickly smashed his knee into another's stomach. Brandon jumped up and kicked a Trooka in the head before landing and sweeping two more off of their feet.
Clifton elbowed one in the gut and then picked it up. He jumped up and kicked it in the stomach, sending it crashing into the ground. Clifton landed and roundhouse kicked another Trooka. He punched one in the stomach before regrouping with Brandon.
"There sure is a lot of 'em." Clifton said.
"Yeah...Let's give these a try!" Brandon said drawing a blaster from his holster.
"Right." Clifton said doing the same.
The two fired their blasters at the Trookas taking them down bit by bit.
Once they had eliminated all of the Trookas they faced Niyalax.
"You're the only one left!" Brandon shouted.
"Rrgh, you haven't seen the last of me!" The female alien said teleporting away.
"Well I guess we won this one."
Clifton sighed. Brandon's shoulders slumped.
"Phew! We're safe for now." He said.
"Let's get back to the Cove." Clifton suggested.
"Right-o!" Brandon responded.
*-PRCS-*
Once the two made it back they saw that Terrona seemingly recovered from her injuries.
"You're back, I'm assuming you we're victorious?" Terrona asked.
"Yep! We sent Niyalax back to where ever she came from!" Brandon said.
"Excellent, but the battle is far from over." Terrona said.
"Who else is there?" Clifton asked.
The female warrior paced back and forth.
"There is Garnavax V, the galaxy's most dangerous swordsman, and his fierce army. Niyalax is just his second in command." Terrona said.
"So wait, how are the two of us going to take on an army? We're sophomores in high school!" Brandon shouted.
"I don't excpect you to do it on your own, there are three more Cosmos Bands not in use, Green, Pink and White. I need you to find three people you trust whole heartedly and chose them to complete the team."
"Okay, we'll find them and bring them back here to you." Clifton said.
"Do you have anyone in mind?" Brandon questioned.
"As a matter of fact, yeah I do." Clifton said with a mischevious smile on his face.
A/N: Okay this one has been on my mind for awhile so I'm going to go with it and see where it goes! Until next time!
