Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers Saban created Power Rangers from adapting Toei's Super Sentai series sixteenth installment, Dinosaur Squadran Zyuranger, then from the end of 2001 through May of 2010, Disney owned them until Saban bought the franchise along with its other sister shows Beetleborgs, VR Troopers, and Masked Rider back from them under his new company, Saban Brands. But now, in May of 2018 Hasbro now owns Power Rangers. I am just borrowing them. The only thing I do own is the characters, plots, and other stuff that don't exist in the show.
Summary: What happens when the Rangers find and helps a kid that is very important to the world and is the only one that can save the Earth from total destruction and is the boy in the legend. Rated M for blood, swearing, some more mature scenes later on, ect…
Author's Note: This is my/was original first story. For those that may not yet know, this story was originally first posted back in November of 2007 and completed back in the early summer of 2013, but pretty much all of the chapters in this story and a good portion of the ones in its sequel story, A New Home, Gaining Ninja Powers needed to be edited/revised for multiple reasons and I had also discovered that there were a lot of plot holes that I had not covered originally, so I felt it was better to take this down and rework it correctly. What this means is that while a lot of the stuff that happened originally will stay the same, there will be things that will be changed up to happen differently and, in some cases, happens earlier then last time. This story is set in season 2 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers right after Episode 3, The Mutiny Part. 3 but before Episode 4 The Wanna-Be Ranger. Trust me, this will be many times better then what was ordinally done for this one. While I know a lot of you know how I role when it comes to writing Power Rangers stories, more so how I did this originally, some don't and while I know I won't be able to please everyone on how I do my stories, but I know that there are a lot of you that does and, in my book,, that's all that counts. And also, here are the pairings that will occur in A New Home. Tommy/Kimberly to begin with, then later on down the road, it is Adam/Tanya, Rocky/Aisha, and Zack/Trini. More will be announced as they happen. Also, I wanted to point out that I have in this new version combined the first two chapters into one as the first one was way too short for one thing and but for other reasons I won't bore all of you on. Anyway, just read the Author's Note at the end of the chapter. And so, without further ado, here is the very first revised version of chapter one for your reading pleasure.
A New Home, The Beginning Of A New Life
Chapter One: A New Ranger In Town Pt. 1
An older future Paul's POV
One of the biggest things kids hates the most is being alone. I know that feeling all to well but, I didn't know what being alone really meant until that fateful day in late September of the year 1996 when it all happen in a split second. My life forever changed completely from that day on. I think I am getting ahead of myself here. Hello there, my name is Paul Alexander Golupski. I have a lot of things to tell you about how my life change in ways people will never know. It's going to take more than one story to tell you everything that has happen so yeah, there's a lot to tell. In this first story, I will tell you all how my life changed completely.
Many years ago on September first 1996 in St. Johns, Michigan at the Golupski's residence
Normal POV
Frank quickly ran down the stairs to his basement with his young eight year old son in his arms who had a few burshes on him, but nothing major, but he was passed out due to recent trauma of having seen his mother, Frank's wife killed by a former foe of his. Once he got down there, he quickly went over towards the other side of his partly finished basement and quickly went over towards the futon that sits right up against the wall near a door way that goes to the utility/unfinished area of the basement and quickly hid his son under there. He then took a blanket and covered his feet and most of his body before shifting some stuff around to conceal him.
'I hope they won't find you under there son.' Frank thought to myself
"Hey, where did that old Ranger disappear too?" A voice questioned
Frank quickly opened the door leading to the utility/unfinished area of the basement and rushed over towards the small rec area that was set up for his son and friends to play in.
'I'm so glad that Kim isn't here. I just hope that she doesn't show up while they are still here.' Frank thought to himself
"I think he went down those stairs." Another voice pointed out
"Then, just don't stand there, after him." He heard Goldar ordered
Frank sighed and panted heavily as he then dugged into his pocket and pulled out his watch like device and pushed a button on it.
"Zordon, Alpha. Come in." Frank said into it
Meanwhile inside the Command Center
The alarms began going off inside the Command Center as they have heard Frank's distress call.
"Ayi, yi, yi! It's Frank, something must be terribly wrong." Alpha cried out
"We read you Frank, is everything alright?" Zordon questioned
"No, it's Goldar, him along with a few more of former monsters I have faced in the past just appeared here at my house. They killed my wife while both Paul and I saw it." Frank said through the Communication Channels
"Ayi, yi, yi, yi, yi! This is terrible news indeed." Alpha cried out
"Alpha quick, contact the Power Rangers right away and have them report here right away." Zordon instructed
"Right Zordon, I just hope we can reach them in time." Alpha stated in a panicked voice
He then began punching some buttons.
"Frank, is your son okay? And what of your daughter?" Zordon inquired
"As far as I know, Kim is safe as she was at a friend's house. Paul is okay as well, he is alive, but he had passed out and I had hidden him down here in the basement." Frank said through the Communication Channels
"Hang in there, Frank, we'll get help there soon." Zordon assured his old friend
"Zordon, I'm afraid I may not make it out of this situation. Please, look after my son. And, I know while he is unexperienced and young, he is ready for battle. He will be a big help for your new group of Rangers and that the legend will come to past. And please, tell him that I lo…" Frank began to say through the Communication Channels before his transmission was cut short
"Frank, Frank. Ayi, yi, yi, yi! Please respond." Alpha cried out
"Alpha, we must quickly get the other Rangers here right away." Zordon instructed
"Right Zordon, I just hope Frank is still okay." Alpha stated as he franticly began opening communications with Jason and the other Rangers
Meanwhile inside the Angel Grove Youth Center
Kimberly's POV
Inside the Angel Grove Youth Center, Jason, Trini, Billy, Tommy, and I were hanging out in the Youth Center having drinks after having completed the charity race.
"Well, other than some setbacks, that race sure was a blast." Jason mentioned
"Yeah, that's for sure." Zack agreed
Suddenly, our Communicators went off.
"Again?" I questioned
"I guess Lord Zedd doesn't the know the meaning of the word rest." Trini mentioned
Jason motioned for us to follow him as we all got up and rushed down the steps into the empty hallway near the lockers as we looked around to make sure the close was clear before Jason reached for his Communicator.
"Jason here, go ahead." Jason said into the Communicator
"Jason, you and the others need to teleport to the Command Center right away we have a very big emergency happening right now as we speak." Alpha said through the Communicators
We all looked at each other concerned by the tone of Alpha's voice.
"Right, we're on our way Alpha." Jason said through the Communicator
"Something big must be happening for Alpha to sound like that." Tommy mentioned
"Yeah, I agree." Billy agreed
"Let's get moving guys." Trini stated
We all nodded in agreement as we all then reached for our Communicators as we then teleported out of the Youth Center.
Meanwhile back inside the Command Center
Kimberly's POV
Suddenly, the six of us teleported into the Command Center as we all see Alpha franticly pushing buttons on the main console before he turned around towards us.
"Ayi, yi, yi, yi! Rangers, thank goodness you are here. We don't have anytime to spare." Alpha cried out
"What's happening?" Jason questioned
"There isn't time for us to explain to you all in full detail Rangers. All six of you must Morph and teleport to a house in St. Johns, Michigan right away." Zordon told us
"Why, what's going on Zordon?" Trini inquired
"A former Ranger's family is under attack by Goldar and several of his former enemies. His wife was already killed by them and he is too as we just recently lost contact with him." Zordon explained
We all looked on in shocked by this type of news.
'A former Ranger?' I thought to myself
"Rangers, I'll explain more in detail later, but all of you need to go now." Zordon informed us
"Right, we're on it Zordon." Zack stated
"Tommy, while I know that your powers are weak, this mission requires all six of you. Just be careful if a battle is to comense." Zordon explained
Tommy just nodded.
"Right Zordon." Tommy agreed
"Oh, please hurry Rangers, and contact us when you have some news for us." Alpha pleaded
"We will Alpha." Trini assured him
"Go now Rangers, and let the power protect you all." Zordon told us
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" Jason yelled out
"DRAGONZORD!" Tommy yelled out
"MASTODON!" Zack yelled out
"PTERODACTYL!" I yelled out
"TRICERATOPS!" Billy yelled out
"SABER-TOOTHED TIGER!" Trini yelled out
"TYRANNOSAURUS!" Jason yelled out
Meanwhile back in St. Johns, Michigan at the Golupski Residence
On the floor of the partly finished basement, lays the lifeless body of Frank Golupski his eyes still open and laying in a pile of his own blood. Standing next to his lifeless body is Goldar, along with a Rhino monster with a lightning bolt for a horn known as Shock Wave, next to him is a blue body warrior that looks a lot like a ninja with a ninja katana attached to his back named Quazor. Next to him was a monster that had a body shaped like a razer as his head was shaped like a razer blade called Razor. And the last two standing next to him were two identical monsters with their bodies made up of mostly ice. Two brothers named Breezy and Freezy.
"Finally, we put an end to that old washed up Ranger." Shock Wave stated
"Yeah, that sure was a jolly good time." Breezy mentioned
"You said it bro." Freezy agreed
"Goldar, thanks for giving us this chance to be a part of this day." Quazor thanked
"Yeah, we have been waiting for this day for years." Razor added
"Your welcome my friends. Now, go. I'll call on you all one day to help me and my new master Lord Zedd rid the Earth of the six current Rangers." Goldar informed them
They all nodded as Goldar among with Shock Wave, Quazor, Razor, Breezy, and Freezy all then disappeared laughing evilly.
Meanwhile on the main floor level of the residence
Kimberly's POV
Once Morphed, the six of us teleported down the house of this former Ranger on east coast of the states as we all became shocked and sicken to the core at what we are seeing.
"My god, look at this." I mentioned
"It looks like one of those graphic horror scenes from those horror movies." Zack pointed out
"Yeah, I agree with you Zack." Tommy agreed
"Oh my god, guys look there." Trini pointed out
We all looked over towards where Trini was pointing towards to see it was a dead woman leaning against a wall covered in blood. I put my hands up over my mouth plate in shock at seeing her like that.
"Oh god." I muttered
"That has to be the former Ranger's wife." Billy mentioned
"But, then where is he and their son?" Trini questioned
We all looked around as Jason then spotted something.
"Guys, over there." Jason pointed out
We all looked towards where Jason was pointing towards to see that it was an opened door. We slowly walked over towards it to see that it leads downstairs to the basement.
"Let's check this out." Jason stated
We all nodded in agreement as we slowly walk down the stairs. After getting to the last step we looked around to see that like in the kitchen, there is blood everywhere and a dead body.
"My god." I muttered
"Man, Goldar and his goons really went on the war path here." Zack stated
Jason slowly went over towards the body and bent down and placed two fingers on his neck trying to find a pulse. He sighed and just shook his head.
"We're too late." Jason muttered
"Damn it." Tommy complained
Jason sighed as he stood up before reaching for his Communicator.
"Zordon, Alpha come in." Jason said into the Communicator
"Go ahead Jason." Zordon said through the Communicator
Meanwhile back inside the Command Center
"Zordon, I'm afraid we were too late. The former Ranger you mentioned, is dead. Goldar and his band of monsters got to him first before we got here." Jason said through the Communications Channels
Alpha quickly pushed a few buttons to get an image of the scene on the Viewing Globe. Once done, he quickly turned around and walked over towards it.
"Ayi, yi, yi, yi! Frank, no. We were too late to save him." Alpha cried out
"Alpha, quick do a scan of the house. We need to see if Paul is still alive." Zordon instructed
Alpha slowly walked over towards the main console.
"Yes Zordon." Alpha stated
He then began doing a scan.
"Oh, I hope there is some good news out of this tragedy." Alpha wished
"So do I Alpha. So do I." Zordon agreed
A few moments later, there was a beeping sound from the console.
"Zordon, the computer has informed me that Paul is in fact alive and is in the basement where the Rangers are right now." Alpha informed him
Meanwhile back in St. Johns, Michigan inside the Golupski Residence
"Rangers, his son is still in the house. Scans show that he is in the basement as well. You must find him and bring him back to the Command Center for safety." Zordon said through the Communicator
"His son?" Tommy wondered
"Okay guys, spread out and find him." Jason instructed
We all nodded as we all split up. I decided to go to the foot of the futon and got down on my knees and looked under it to see a blanket cover something.
"What's this?" I muttered
I slowly grab the edge of the blanket and pull on it as I then quickly see a pair of feet as my eyes quickly goes wide under my helmet.
"Guys, I found him." I called out
The others quickly raced over towards me.
"He's under this futon." I informed them
"Okay, let's pick it up and move it." Jason instructed
"Right." Tommy agreed
Jason, Billy, Zack, and Tommy each took an end and picked it up as we see a little kid who appears to be no older then eight just laying there passed out.
"My god, he's just a little kid." Trini muttered
The boys quickly moved it away from the wall far enough for us to get to him as they then sit it down. They quickly come back over as Jason knelt down next to him and placed his fingers on his neck looking for a pulse.
"He is still very much alive. Just unconscious." Jason informed us
We all sighed a sigh in relief as Jason then picked him up as I then see something fall out of the little boy's hand as I then bend down and pick it up to see that it is a stuffed owl that kind of had seen better days.
"We got to get him to the Command Center like Zordon told us too." Tommy mentioned
"Yeah I agree." Jason agreed
We all then teleported away.
Meanwhile back inside the Command Center
After having teleported to the Command Center, we had automatically powered down as Jason was still holding the young kid in his arms.
"Ayi, yi, yi! Please tell me Paul is okay." Alpha cried out
We all looked at each confused by this.
'They know him?' I thought to myself
"Jason, follow me. I have prepared a bed for Paul over here." Alpha told him
Jason nodded as he followed Alpha over towards the left side of the Viewing Globe as we see a black folding bed near it as Jason gently laid him down as the rest of us just stood nearby as Alpha then ran a device over him.
"Alpha, what does your scan report?" Zordon questioned
"Paul will be okay Zordon, he most likely passed out due to the extreme ordeal he just went through." Alpha assured him
"That's a relief to know." Zordon mentioned
"Yes, it is." Alpha agreed
"Zordon, how do you know of this kid?" Jason inquired
"Yeah, and who was this former Ranger you were talking about?" Tommy wondered
"Rangers, I understand your confusion on this matter. There are reasons as to why you never knew of this Ranger, and I'll explain that in time. But you all do deserve to know who he was and who is son is." Zordon mentioned
We all looked at each other as we all then turned back towards Zordon.
"The former Ranger that was murdered in his own home his name was Frank Golupski. He was the Earth's first Power Ranger. The Gold Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. He himself once fought Rita Repulsa, Goldar, and her band of monsters years before your time." Zordon revealed
We all looked on confused.
"But, how come he didn't appear when worldwide news broke out about Rita being set freed?" Jason inquired
"He did know of her released from her Dumpster when it had happened. But, it was his wish to not get involved at that time and wished for his privacy to be kept." Zordon explained
We all just looked on.
"I'm sorry Rangers, but I can say more then that at this time. Not until Paul wakes up." Zordon informed us
"Zordon, what's going to happen to him once he wakes up?" I inquired
"He will have to remain here in Angel Grove. Hidden from his family and friends. For the time being, it is for the best for everyone." Zordon told us
We all just looked on shocked and confused by what he just said.
"Rangers, it's best if you all go and return to your regular lives. We'll contact you all when Paul awakens or if Lord Zedd launches another attack." Zordon explained
We all just nodded, knowing that Zordon wasn't going to tell us anymore of this info until Paul awakes, I then walk over towards Alpha as I held out Paul's stuffed owl.
"Alpha, this belongs to Paul. Can you hold onto it for him?" I requested
"Of course, Kimberly." Alpha assured me
A week later in the present day still inside the Command Center
A week had passed since that deadly night, and Paul still had not waken up. He just lies still. Suddenly, his fingers slowly begin moving.
Paul's POV
I slowly open my eyes as I then move my hand to my head and rub it.
"Man, did anyone get the number of that bus?" I wondered
I look around my surroundings to find myself in a really weird place, instead of my bedroom back home.
'I'm not going to know where I am and what I am doing here just sitting down.' I thought to myself
I then sat up and tried to figure out where the hell I am and how in the hell I had gotten here.
'Not to mention how the hell am I going to get back home.' I thought to myself
I stood up. But, when I did and took a look over to my right, I saw a few huge consoles with buttons all around the center of the room. I then took a look to my left and saw a big giant globe made of glass of some sort. But, there is a strange feeling inside of me, that I am not alone and that someone is staring right at me.
"I am glad to see that you have finally awoken Paul. You gave all of us a scare." A voice called out
Startled, I quickly turned around to see who it was. But, when I did, I just saw a giant tube with a giant flooding head inside of it as said floating head just stares right at me.
"What the hell?" I questioned in shock and confused
'How could a giant flooding head be talking?' I thought to myself
"Hello Paul, it is so good to see you awake finally." Another voice called out from behind me
I quickly turned around to see a robot of some kind.
'I am now more confused than I was a few seconds ago.' I thought to myself
"No need to be alarmed Paul, we will not hurt you." He assured me
I just turned back towards the giant floating head and look at him and his robotic friend more confused than I was a few seconds ago.
"Alpha, please contact the Power Rangers and inform them that our young friend has finally awoken and instruct them to teleport here at once." The giant floating head instructed
"You got it Zordon." Alpha stated
Alpha then walked over towards one of the consoles and begun pushing a few buttons.
'Okay, at least I known what to call the giant floating head.' I thought to myself
I then turned back towards Zordon.
"Um Zordon, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but where am I and what am I doing here and how do you know my name?" I questioned
"Don't worry Paul, all of your questions well be answered in time." Zordon assured me
'I got a really bad feeling that this is going to be a really long day.' I thought to myself.
Meanwhile back inside the Youth Center
Kimberly's POV
As Jason, Trini, Billy, Zack, Tommy, and I sat at the Youth Center, hanging out and having Smoothies, I just can't help but to think about Paul.
'It's been a week, and he still hasn't woken up.' I thought to myself
Suddenly, I then feel a hand on my shoulder as I turned towards it to see that it was Tommy.
"Hey, everything all right Kim?" Tommy inquired
I just sighed.
"Yeah, I was just thinking about Paul. It's been a week since that day and he hasn't woke up yet." I explained
"I'm sure that it will be anytime now Kim." Billy assured me
"Though, what is going to happen to him when he does wake up?" Trini inquired
"Yeah, I mean Zordon did say that he wouldn't be able to go home. For their own safety for the time being." Zack mentioned
"That's something I myself have been thinking on for the past week." I stated
The others just looked at me.
"What you come up with Kim?" Billy inquired
Before I could say anything, our Communicators went off.
"Hold that thought." Jason mentioned
We all then got up from our table as we all then walked over towards the hallway near the lockers as we looked around to see that the close was clear before Jason then reached for his Communicator.
"This is Jason, we read you." Jason said into his Communicator
"Jason, we have good news. Paul has awoken and he is going to be okay." Alpha said through the Communicators
We all smiled as we quietly cheered.
"That's excellent news Alpha, we're on our way." Jason said into the Communicator
We all then looked around once more to make sure the close was clear before we all reached for our Communicators as we all then teleported out of the Youth Center.
Meanwhile back inside the Command Center
Paul's POV
It had felt like an entirety, but in reality, only about a minute or so had passed since Alpha had called the Power Rangers and had informed them that I have had just woken up from whatever kind of coma like state was placed in when I had seen a Red, Yellow, Blue, Pink, Black, and Green beams of light teleported inside the Command Center. When the lights disappeared, it had revealed four boys and two girls. The guy with short dark brown hair is wearing a red shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and sneakers. The girl with shoulder length black hair is wearing a yellow top, a pair of tight fitting black pants, and sneakers. The guy with short light brown hair and has glasses on is wearing a blue shirt, a pair of blue jeans and sneakers. The girl with shoulder length brown hair is wearing a pink top, a white skirt that goes to her knees, pantyhose, and pink heels. The African American guy with short black hair is wearing a purple shirt with black stripes, a pair of black pants, and sneakers. And, the guy with long shoulder length dark brown hair put in a pony tail wore a green shirt, black pants, and sneakers. wore different color cloths, Red, Green, Black, Blue, Yellow, and Pink.
'Though, I have to admit, the two girls do look very beautiful and hot. If only, I was more closer to their age.' I thought to myself
All of us just stand there and stare at one another as I try to figure out what to even say to them as these Power Rangers look like just ordinary teenagers to me. It feels like an entirety has gone by, but in reality, probably only a minute or two had actually gone by.
'I kind of wish that one of them would say something first as so I don't have to and say the wrong thing.' I thought to myself
Suddenly, the guy in the red shirt walks over towards me.
"Hey, we're all really happy to see that you are finally awake and okay Paul, you gave us a real scare." Jason mentioned
Jason then extended his hand out towards me offering his hand in friendship.
"I am Jason Scott by the way nice finally meet you." Jason greeted introducing himself to me
I look at him with his hand out for a moment before I accepted and extended my hand out as well.
"Likewise, and even though you know my name, I'm Paul Golupski." I greeted back introducing myself as I shake his hand
The others then walked over towards me as well.
"I'm Tommy Oliver." Tommy greeted as he held his hand out to shake
I accepted it and shook his hand.
"Hi." I greeted back
"Zack Taylor." Zack greeted as he too offered his hand
"Nice to meet you Zack." I greeted back as I shook his hand
"Billy Cranston, it's a pleasure to officially meet you Paul." Billy greeted me
He offered his hand as well as I accept it shaking hands.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well Billy." I greeted back
"As Jason said, we are glad to see you are okay Paul." The one in the yellow shirt informed me
She then held her hand out for me to shake as well.
"And, my name is Trini Kwan by the way." Trini greeted
I smiled as I shake her hand.
"Thank you, Trini, and it's a pleasure to meet you as well." I greeted back
I then see the other girl walk over towards me as she also offers a hand in friendship.
"I'm Kimberly Hart, it's nice to meet you Paul." Kimberly greeted
'She has the same first name as my sister. It would be really confusing if they were in the same room as me.' I thought to myself
I then accept her gesture and shake her hand as well.
"It's nice to meet you as well Kimberly." I greeted
She then got a concern look on her face.
"How you feeling Paul?" Kimberly inquired
"Well, other than the fact that my head feels like it was used as a basketball and that I am totally confused by what is going on I'm fine." I admitted while holding the side of my head
I then looked at all of them once more with a smile.
"And, it's great to meet you guys too." I added
They all smiled at me as I then looked up at Zordon.
"Zordon, I don't mean to be rude again, but I do think that it's time to get some answers because I'm really at a loss right now and I really need some answers as to what is going on here and and not to mention as to why I am here in the first place." I explained
"I agree with you Paul, that you need the answers you seek." Zordon agreed
'Finally.' I thought to myself
"But, I must warn you Paul, some of the answers you seek won't be easy for you to handle." Zordon warned
"I kind of figure that Zordon, but go head." I told him.
"Aright then, I will start with the easy part first because it's easier for me to explain to you right now." Zordon explained
I just kind of stared at him confused by that statement, but just nodded as I waited for him to continue on.
"Okay then, Paul you are in our Command Center, the base of operations for the Power Rangers." Zordon began
I just nodded as I then see Zordon motion his head over towards Alpha.
"And over there, is my right-hand man or robot that is, is my assistant Alpha 5." Zordon continued finally introducing me to Alpha
I then looked over towards Alpha.
"A pleasure to officially meet you Alpha." I greeted
"The pleasure is all mine Paul." Alpha greeted back
"But now, I am afraid that what I am about to tell you next won't be easy for you to hear." Zordon warned me
I just stared at him with a bit more confusion.
"I'm afraid that your parents were killed Paul, they were killed by the forces of evil." Zordon informed me
After hearing what he had just finished saying that to me, I just completely lost it. I went down to my knees. I lost all control of my emotions and started to cry.
"Wh..what, you mean to tell me that my parents are dead, killed by the forces of evil?" I questioned as tears roll down my face
Kimberly had quickly come over towards me, as she than bent down she then gives me a comforting hug for support. I didn't refuse it because she reminded me of my real sister back home in more ways than one.
'We may have on just met today, but it didn't matter I needed the comfort from her, knowing that the state I was in right now I needed it more than ever.' I thought to myself
"I'm afraid there is more you need to know Paul, your friends back home and the rest of your family thinks you're dead, so I'm afraid that you won't be able to return home." Zordon told me
I then snapped back to reality as I quickly looked back up at him with blood shot eyes from crying while Kimberly was still holding onto me for comfort.
"What do you mean I can't go back home Zordon?" I questioned
I just shut my eyes for a few moments before reopening them again as I looked back up towards him.
"Zordon, I should go back home so that my friends and family can see that I am alive. And, so that they don't have to give me a funeral as well." I stated nearly shouted at him with more tears going down my face
"I'm afraid that it's too late for that Paul, it's been a week since that night and they already had the funeral for you and your parents, so it's for the best that you don't return home." Zordon revealed
I just shake my head as I then look up at Zordon with anger and rage in my eyes.
"SO, YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT I CAN'T GO HOME TO SHOW THEM THAT I'M STILL ALIVE? THAT I CAN'T GO ON LIVING WITH MY LIFE WITH MY FRIENDS AND THE REST OF MY FAMILY? IS THAT WHAT YOUR TELLING ME?" I yelled at him and nearly falling to the ground
But I didn't do to the fact that Kimberly was still holding on to me in a tight hug to giving me comfort.
"I'm sorry Paul, but you have to understand that this wasn't my decision. It was your father's decision before he died." Zordon explained to me
I look at him with tears still coming down my face still confused as all hell. Kimberly still continues to hold onto me in a hug for comfort. I take in a few breaths to calm myself as to not have another outburst like before.
"Wait, what do mean that it was my father's decision to not let me go back home to St. Johns, Michigan Zordon?" I inquired
"Before he died Paul, he told me that you would be a big help to us here and that the legend would come to pass." Zordon told me
'What in the hell is he talking about?' I thought to myself
"Zordon what do mean that I could be a help to you guys? What legend are you talking about? And what does this have to do with me?" I questioned
'What legend is he talking about anyway?' I thought to myself
"Paul, I think that it's time you knew about what your father did before you were born. Your father was a Power Ranger before your time, he was the Earth's first Power Ranger." Zordon informed me
I just stared at him in shock and more confusion.
'What was he talking about? There was no way that My father could have been a Power Ranger.' I thought to myself
"Hold on a minute what the hell are you talking about Zordon? What do you mean that my father was a Power Ranger? What does that have to do with the legend you were talking about earlier?" I questioned him
I wasn't crying anymore, but I was still upset about what I had just found out about what just happen to my parents, but for the moment I needed to be strong for everyone. I tap Kimberly on her hand to let her know that she can let me go because I was okay for the time being. She complied and did so and move back towards where the other Rangers were standing.
"The legend says, that the son of the first Gold Ranger will bring peace and justice to the universe. That refers to you Paul, you were born with the power that no other human has that can hold up the peace and bring justice to the universe." Zordon explained
'Wait, what?' I thought to myself
"Wait, hold on a minute Zordon. Let me get this straight. You are asking me to pick up right where my father left off and become a Power Ranger like him before me?" I inquired
'I need to figure out all of these things that are going through my head at the moment.' I thought to myself
"Yes, I'm asking you to pick up where your father had left off and become a Power Ranger, but I can't force you to do something you don't want to do Paul, this is a decision you have to make on your own." Zordon informed me
I was way beyond confused right now. I had to make a decision that will decide the fate of the world.
'Think for a moment Paul, what would your father do if he was in your shoes?' I thought to myself
After taking a minute have passed to think this through, I made up my mind as I then turned back towards Zordon.
"Zordon." I started
I then turned towards the others.
"Everyone." I continued
I take in a deep breath as I then looked around at all of them.
"Look, I don't know much about these forces of evil, or about being a Power Ranger, but I will pick up where my father had left off and help protect the world from the forces of evil and carrying on the legacy of my father and make him proud of me." I assured them
I then take in a deep breath before looking back at the other Rangers.
"If you guys are willing to work with an eight year old kid?" I inquired and half laughed at the same time.
The others just chuckled at hearing that as Jason then stepped forward looking at with a big smile on his face.
"I think I can speak for all of us when I say welcome to the team Paul." Jason mentioned
He then stuck his hand out for me to shake as I complied and shook it.
"Thank you. It's great to be a part of the team." I thanked
AN: Well that's the end of the new and improved first chapter. I hope that all of you that have read this before enjoyed this and for those reading this story for the first time, enjoying it so far. To explain a bit more on this, other than all the extra scenes I have added in, and combining the first two chapters from the original into one, it is pretty much the same. That's how this is going to work pretty much with this rewrite, other than the slight changes and additions I do for this story, it will be close to what I had originally done. I'll have the next chapter out for this one sometime soon. I'm not going to say if it is tomorrow or the next day or what as I am no longer going to say that as I am going to take my time in doing these rewrites to get this done correctly. Until next time please R&R.
