So I'm not quite as far into this as I'd hoped, but I decided to update with this much! It's a little short as most of my first chapters can be, but I hope you like it.

Let me know what you think!

Chapter 1: Beginnings Part 1

Three figures stood in a dark location with an arena of sorts. One had the appearance of a mummy, while the other two wore Gold and Silver suits with long capes. They stood in tense silence as smoke rose from the lamp in the hands of the one in silver, gaining the form of an anthropomorphic cat wearing genie-like clothes.

"Tada! It's Jenji. Now, remember the rules. Swords only. No other weapons or magic," the cat-genie looked from the mummy to the man in Gold.

"Agreed," the one in Gold nodded slowly.

"But of course!" the mummy announced in a dramatic voice.

"Goodie! Then combatants, prepare for battle!" the cat yelled, and both transformed into much different armour. "We'll just get you chained up. Bring on the chains!" he called, and the woman in Silver snapped her fingers, summoning chains that wrapped around their right wrists. "In this corner, the noble Daggeron! And in this corner, the traitor known as Calindor, aka Imperious! Let the bound battle begin!" Jenji yelled.

Both leapt into the air, and began to fight, swinging their swords and clashing loudly. Jenji commentated loudly as the one in Silver watched, clutching her hands to her chest.

She winced as Imperious managed to nick Daggeron's armour with his sword, but she was forced to remain on the sidelines with Jenji. Not long into the fight, Jenji had fallen silent, standing at her side and watching the match. At first it seemed that Imperious had the upper hand, managing to knock Daggeron to the ground.

Imperious laughed mockingly as he stood over his opponent, confident that his victory was at hand. However, Daggeron spun suddenly, his boots connecting with Imperious' chest and throwing him back. Before long, Imperious was on the ground, overwhelmed by Daggeron's attacks.

Daggeron's blade clashed with Imperious' again, but this time he wrapped the chain around it, and yanked up. Imperious cried out as the sword was wrenched from his grasp, and clattered to the ground. He was knocked to the ground as Jenji cheered, but as Daggeron swung his sword down to end it, Imperious let out a laugh and cast a spell. The woman cried out as she was teleported to him, and Daggeron's blade stopped inches from her face.

"No!" he yelled out.

"Surprise!" Imperious laughed, and blasted Daggeron, getting to his feet as he lifted Daggeron into the air. He then tossed him to the ground, and Daggeron demorphed, groaning as Imperious laughed.

"Daggeron!" the one in Silver cried out as she struggled in the grasp of Imperious.

"Hey, you cheated!" Jenji yelled.

"Of course I did," Imperious scoffed as he glanced to the genie, and shoved the woman into him. The pair cried out as they tumbled to the ground, and Daggeron pushed himself up. "Do you think I care about fighting with honour?" he demanded as he returned to his mummy-like form. "That is for fools like you and Leánbow!" Imperious told Daggeron, whose grip on his sword tightened.

"You've learned nothing from him! I'd rather die with honour, than live without it!" Daggeron told him.

"So be it," Imperious blasted him with magic again, laughing as Daggeron cried out. However, he suddenly broke free, swinging his sword up, and Imperious cried out as Daggeron launched at him, and struck him down with several strikes of his sword. The chain shattered as Imperious fell to his knees, groaning.

"You have defeated me, Daggeron...but with my destruction, a terror will be unleashed that you cannot even imagine!" Imperious declared, and as he got to his feet, he began to turn to dust, reverting back to his true form. He then turned away, cackling loudly before he completely disintegrated, his laughter echoing loudly even after he was gone.

A loud beeping pulled the young man sleeping from his odd dreams, making him groan. Hidden under the thick blanket that was almost entirely wrapped around him, the young man let out a wide yawn and rolled onto his side.

With another slow movement, the young man rolled onto his back and pushed himself up so the blanket fell away, shattering the wall between him and the rest of the world.

"That was weird...Gramps?" he wondered aloud, puzzled by his dream. "And was that...Grandma and Jenji with him? Who was that dude he was fighting?" the young man muttered to himself, before a pillow hit him in the side of the head.

"You wanna stop muttering and turn that off Spence?" his room-mate groaned as he buried his way under his blanket. Quickly forgetting his dream, Spencer grinned and leaned over to turn off his alarm, which was continuing to beep. He tossed the pillow back to Kayden, hitting the young man who was attempting to steal another hour of sleep.

Spencer dressed in his training gear, which consisted of a pair of loose bottoms and a gold tshirt. After brushing his hair and checking his reflection in the mirror, Spencer grabbed his glasses and perched them back onto his nose. His roommate was fast asleep again by the time he was ready to leave.

The newer Cadets saluted as he walked past, looking exhausted at being up so early. Spencer was well used to it by now, and enjoyed the quiet of the academy in the early mornings before the most of those who worked for Earth's SPD base got up.

"You're late," about ten minutes after he arrived in the training grounds, Spencer was joined by another. When the response came in the form of a raspberry blown, he looked around with a grin.

His companion was a tall blonde young woman wearing training gear like his own, only with Silver instead of Gold, and a pair of shorts instead of trousers. Her long curly hair was tied back into a ponytail, and she was smirking back; greenish-blue eyes sparkling in the early morning sunlight. "Mature," Spencer told her, tossing the mat down between them.

"Bet you were here five minutes early," she accused, walking over to help set up.

"Someone has to get this place ready for our training Annie," Spencer replied calmly, not rising to his best friend's taunts. Annie grinned, fixing her ponytail before stepping onto the mat. "Hey Annie?" he spoke a few minutes into their practising.

"What's up?" Annie asked as she released his wrist and stepped back, raising her fists to guard her upper body.

"You ever hear the name Calindor? Or Imperious?" he asked her curiously, making Annie frown.

"Never. Why?" she asked as he swung another punch for her to catch.

"It's nothing. Had a weird dream with my grandparents and Jenji just," Spencer shrugged, and Annie moved suddenly, sweeping his legs out from under him. Spencer hit the mat hard, groaning.

"Dude, you've grown up on stories our parents and your grandparents have told you," Annie grinned as she offered him her hand. "You probably just dreamed one of the stories Daggeron told you. Either that or you made it up," she suggested as he took her hand.

"I've never heard the name Calindor though. It's weird," Spencer shook his head as she pulled him to his feet, and they continued to spar.

"Well you can do one of two things," Annie said as she caught him in an arm-lock.

"What's that?" Spencer grunted as he slipped out of it and swung a kick at her side. Annie danced out of the way easily, not only used to his moves, but since they were just sparring, he was holding back a lot. They both were.

"You can forget about it," Annie threw a punch that he deflected with the back of his hand. "Or you can ask Daggeron," she said as he pushed in close. She then caught his arm as she dodged his punch. Moving around him, she caught his head and grinned.

The few others who were out training early looked around at a loud thud, and found Spencer on his back, his legs over his head as he groaned.

"You said you'd stop doing that..." he complained as he managed to move so he was lying flat on the mat. Annie couldn't help but laugh as she stood over him again.

"You were distracted, I couldn't help myself," she admitted, offering her hand again. Spencer glared up at her, not moving this time. "Aw, did I hurt your ego?" Annie teased him playfully.

"No...I know I can't take you on," Spencer finally moved and took her hand. With another groan, he got back to his feet. "Ok, let's keep going," he told her, falling into his preferred fighting stance as Annie did the same.

As usual, they had a group of spectators watching them, curious about the pair who had been at the academy for two years. The pair had shown skill in martial arts since they arrived, and while they had continued to learn while there, their fighting styles were not only vastly different from most in the academy, but also from each other.

After breakfast, the two walked through the academy, having been summoned by their Commander. Having changed their training gear for their usual uniforms, they stood out from the other cadets. Instead of all grey, Spencer's uniform had Gold while Annie's was Silver.

"Wonder what's going on now," Annie wondered as she zipped up her jacket. "Maybe it's about those other three in B-Squad," she mused aloud. "Maybe they're finally getting elevated to our level," she winked to Spencer, who rolled his eyes.

"Doubt it," he shook his head. "They aren't ready to be Rangers. They let those thieves get away yesterday," Annie rolled her eyes.

"Anyone would have been surprised that those two had weird powers," Annie defended. Commander Kruger had briefed them on what the other three members of B-Squad had gotten up to that morning.

"We wouldn't have," Spencer muttered.

"We're different Spence, you know that," Annie reminded him. Spencer didn't answer. "But you're right, they're probably not ready to be Rangers. They don't even get on with each other," she chuckled to herself, and they finally arrived at the command centre. The doors slid open, and the three figures inside froze instantly.

"Huh..." Spencer murmured as they walked in. "Guess you were right. Partly anyway," he mused to Annie.

"Any idea why we've all been called here?" Annie turned to the three after elbowing Spencer.

"No idea," Bridge smiled brightly. Annie gave him a weird look.

"We were called to report ages ago..." Syd rolled her eyes as she tucked her hair behind her ear. "No idea why," she turned back to Bridge, and continued to play Rock, Paper, Scissors with him.

"Ohh, I do love a good mystery," Annie grinned as she glanced to Spencer. The young man sighed, shaking his head.

The five waited in partial silence for 20 minutes, with Annie and Spencer talking between themselves as Syd and Bridge continued to play Rock, Paper, Scissors, and Sky paced.

"Yes!" Bridge cheered quietly, making the others look around as he bounced happily. "Fifty-five times in a row!" the gloved cadet cheered himself on.

"Alright, enough!" Syd finally had enough. "I'm officially bored to tears. We get called to report an hour ago, report to who?" she demanded.

"Whom," Bridge corrected.

"Never correct me again!" Syd snapped, taking him by surprise. Annie snorted nearby, earning a nudge from Spencer. "I'm sorry...I'm just a little tense watching Walkathon boy wear a path in the floor," she glared over at Sky.

"If you have a problem with it Sydney, make me stop," Sky challenged, continuing to pace.

"Ok...I may be a girl...and I may be cute...but no-one-" she lunged for Sky, with Bridge jumping between the two to try and stop them fighting. Annie covered her mouth to hide her giggles as Spencer rolled his eyes. The doors opened again, and a large blue anthropomorphic-dog walked in.

"I trust you're using this time to bond as a team," Kruger commented, making them jump and spin around.

"Yes sir!" they called back as Bridge fixed his uniform.

"Good. Come this way. Cadets Bly and Bradley, you too," he nodded to the other two, who followed. He led the five down the corridor, and into Dr. Manx's lab. Kat, a feline alien who was vastly more intelligent than the rest of SPD, stood up and walked over with a smile.

"Without going into details, Earth's ultimate survival dictates that I elevate your team to active status," Commander Kruger's words made Spencer's eyes widen, and it took everything he had not to say anything. Annie bit her lip, seeing his shock and fighting not to laugh. "Any questions?" Kruger asked. Bridge raised his hand and stepped forwards.

"Uh yeah...just one," he frowned in confusion at their boss. "Did you say 'ultimate survival' as in the Earth may be destroyed?" Bridge asked him.

"I did," Kruger confirmed. Spencer and Annie exchanged curious looks.

"Cadets. You have spent the last two years in simulated training. But this time, the game is real," Kat spoke up, and looked to her her assistant Boom, who held a tray. He walked over, and she lifted one of the devices on the tray before Boom turned to the other three and let them lift the others. "SPD Morphers. They are, without a doubt, your best friend. They're also judgement scanners, they will assess the guilt of those you take into custody," she told them. "Boom..." she looked to her assistant as he set down the tray. "Guilty or innocent of eating the last slice of chocolate cake today?" she smirked, and pressed the button on the morpher. It flipped open, and began to judge him.

"Me? I uh..." Boom laughed nervously, and Spencer shook his head. It didn't take a judgement scanner to work it out. "No. No I didn't," he shook his head and folded his arms, but avoided looking at her.

"The scanner reads body temperature, pulse and electrical impulses, and renders a verdict," the Morpher flashed, and revealed a bright red cross. "Guilty," Kat smirked as it beeped loudly.

"But-"

"And it does not make mistakes," Kat interrupted before Boom could try to argue.

"Ok...I'm guilty...but it was just a piece of cake!" he wailed loudly. Kat's smirk widened and she flipped the Morpher closed again, pressing a button as she aimed it at Boom. He let out a cry as there was a bright flash, and a small card landed on the ground with Boom inside. The three gaped as Spencer and Annie grinned very slightly.

"This makes transportation of the detainee a non-issue," Kat smirked.

"You are trained and now equipped," Kruger spoke as Kat lifted the card. Boom yelled for her to release him, but no-one listened. "You, along with Cadets Bly and Bradley, are now the B-Squad Power Rangers. Congratulations," he told them.

"Yes!" Bridge cheered loudly, doing a little victory dance.

"Celebration can come later. I need your immediate assistance on an urgent matter," Kruger told them, making Bridge stop quickly as the three nodded. Kruger then turned to Spencer and Annie. "You two are to join them. You are now a team of five, not just a team of two," he told them sternly. The two saluted as their new teammates looked to them.

"Yes sir," they chanted.

"Follow me," Kruger turned and walked out, and the five quickly followed, letting Kat get back to her work and continue to ignore Boom as he pleaded for her to let him out.

"The co-ordinates of the street thieves is locked into your vehicles' computers," the Commander told the five before sending them out into New Tech City to bring in the thieves that Sky, Syd and Bridge had failed to apprehend the previous day.

Spencer leaned in close to his bike, which had been built by Kat and then customised by Annie and himself, much like her own bike, allowing them to speed ahead of the other three.

After handing out the last of the clothes they had stolen, the two thieves walked around their truck to get back in and escape the scene of the crime, only to hear the sirens and freeze as a bike and a jeep pulled up in front of them. Sky pulled off his helmet and gloves, getting off his bike as the two groaned.

"Nice to see you two again," Sky said as the three stood together.

"I told you we should'a quit while we were ahead Jack," the girl snapped to her partner.

"Don't worry," Jack rolled his eyes. "I'll take care of this, and we'll be on our way," he smirked.

"Oh really?" the two spun around to see Annie and Spencer behind them. Spencer adjusted his glasses as he stood leaned against the truck, and Annie cracked her knuckles. "You want to try us then?" he asked as the two backed away from them.

"Looks like they brought friends, I told you," the girl muttered irritably to him.

"And I told you, I got this," Jack waved her off, and ran at the pair. Annie's smirk widened and Spencer just rolled his eyes. Before Jack realised it, he slammed into something that felt like a brick wall, and flew backwards. The girl cried out as she ran to his side, and the other three Cadets stared at the shimmering light in front of the two.

"You're not the only one with tricks," Spencer commented as Jack pushed himself back to his feet.

"Jack, let's get outta here," the girl pleaded with him.

"Can't do that. We need to finish this here and now, or these clowns will be bugging this forever," the thief replied. The two fell into fighting stances, and Annie's smirk widened.

"She clones and he phases. Who do you want?" Spencer's gaze slid to her.

"I'll take her. It's been a while since I've dealt with that," Annie stalked towards the girl, whose eyes widened. Without waiting for her to prepare herself, Annie darted forwards and went on the offensive.

"Z!" Jack looked to her as she cried out, shoved backwards by the blonde.

"I wouldn't look away from your opponent if I were you," Jack looked around just in time to dodge Spencer's kick. He lashed out with a punch of his own, but found it deflected easily by the back of Spencer's hand. He was forced to keep moving backwards, keeping his eyes on Spencer, unable to do anything but defend against the onslaught of attacks.

Nearby, his companion wasn't having much luck either fighting against Annie. Every attack she threw at the taller young woman, it was blocked or countered. Letting out a low growl, Z's eyes lit up yellow for a moment, and Annie's smirk dropped as she realised she was surrounded by 3 clones.

"Oh, now that is cool," Annie's smirk returned, and Z's eyes widened in shock. "But like my rather gifted friend says, you guys ain't the only ones who have tricks up your sleeves," raising her hands, Annie performed a series of gestures, before throwing her hands out to her sides. As she did, she seemed to multiply.

"What?" Z inhaled sharply as she found herself staring at multiple copies of her opponent.

"I know," Annie shrugged as she glanced to her dopplegangers. "I hear your copies can't be hit. That's gonna be interesting. If you can catch mine," Annie winked, and went on the attack again. Z raised her arms to defend, and her copies attacked, but were too slow to catch their targets, leaving Z to defend herself.

"They're amazing..." Syd breathed as the three watched the fight.

"I don't get why we had to come along if they're doing all the work..." Sky muttered irritably. When he had sent them out to apprehend the two thieves, Kruger had instructed for Spencer and Annie to take the two on.

"We're a team now Sky," Bridge reminded him with a grin, and earned a glare in response. In front of them, Jack was tossed to the ground, followed by Z, and the two scrambled to their feet quickly as Spencer and Annie approached them.

"We're not doing as well as before bro," Z groaned. "Any suggestions?" she looked to him.

"Run?" Jack offered, and the two glanced at their opponents before sprinting off.

"Oh, I love when they try to run," Annie clapped her hands together as Spencer sighed. Glancing around, Jack frowned when it seemed like they weren't following. Laughing arrogantly, he turned and kept running with Z. They skidded to a stop when there was a clap of thunder and a flash of light, and the two appeared in front of them. "Nice try," Annie grinned as they stared in alarm.

"Cadet Tate, you want to take over here?" Spencer glanced to Sky as he, Bridge and Syd ran up behind the two thieves, just as surprised. Sky nodded, lifting his morpher and holding it up in front of him.

"You're both accused of stealing and redistributing stolen goods," Sky told them.

"Can you prove it?" Jack growled at them.

"Actually, yes we can," Bridge nodded, looking excited. Sky flipped open the Morpher, and after a moment, it flashed and the scanner showed the bright red X. "Guilty!" the two gulped.

"Any chance of going two outta three?" Z tried, but Sky just glared at them. "Didn't think so..." she groaned. "Wait!" she pleaded. Sky rolled his eyes.

"What is it?" he asked impatiently.

"What are you gonna do with us?" she asked them.

"It's actually quite fascinating. We're gonna blast you with anti-matter fusion, which reduces you to approximately this big, and this thin," he gestured with his hands as Z looked down and Jack shot her a glare. "Simultaneously, you're inserted into a containment card, then you're shipped off for filing until your...time...is served," Bridge noticed Sky's glare aimed at him and hesitated at the end of his sentence.

"You had to ask Z..." Jack muttered.

"So that's how it works," Annie mused as she looked down at the Morpher in her hand.

"You do the crime, you pay the time," Syd told them, before smiling. "I've always wanted to say that," she admitted, and Bridge grinned to her.

"Enough with the small-talk," Sky made to blast them, only for a strange figure with a large blue head to land between Z and Jack, and Sky, Syd and Bridge.

"What?" Spencer growled, before the stranger tossed a ball into the air. Nuts and bolts burst from it, and formed a group of creatures that surrounded the two groups of SPD Rangers.

"That's okay, a few extra friends don't bother us," Sky smirked arrogantly as they made strange beeping noises.

"Hate to break it to you, but these aren't our friends!" Jack admitted with a wide smirk. "So with our deepest apologies, we'll take this opportunity to be on our way," he then bowed low. "Good luck! Let's go Z," he laughed and the two ran off, leaving the five to face their new opponents.

So I was asked for a list of kids of each of the Rangers (because there are a fair few), so I figured I'd include it here!

Kayden - Blake and Tori's son
Annie and Miles - Zoe and Hunter's kids
Serafina - Derek's daughter - Zoe's niece
Miko - Cam and Melody's daughter
Timmy - Dustin and Jessie's son - Ari's nephew

Ryan - Kira and Trent's son
Sam and Ali - Connor's kids
Wayne - Ethan's son

Spencer, Chase and Teddie - Ari and Xander's kids
Andrea and Antonia - Chip and Vida's daughters
Nora - Nick and Maddie's daughter

Tyler - Rose and Mack's son
Arianna - Tyler and Vella's daughter
Josh - Ronny's son

Jeremy and Penny - Jenna and RJ's kids
Tora - Casey and Lily's daughter

So far these are the kids that will feature in SPD, Dino Charge and RPM. As I've said before, these could change a lot, depending on where my writing goes. It changes so often I can never be sure.

Anyways, I hope you've enjoyed the first chapter here.

Please review!
