TinyWarz Rangers

Chapter One: New Place, Familiar Face

Year 2007 – Orbiting the Planet Konu.

She smiled to herself. It had taken months for her to get accepted into the TW space program – even with the backing of Andrew Hartford and NASADA. But here she was, Veronica "Ronny" Robinson, walking towards the office of Supreme Commander Frizz, nervous as hell. The interstellar flight was a bit slow for her liking, but it had gotten her to the TW HQ fast enough. She slowly breathed out, her long brown hair sweeping gently across her shoulders, wondering for the umpteenth time how she was going to do. She fingered her Overdrive Tracker on her arm nervously. True, she hadn't had to use her Morpher for a few years, but she liked to be prepared for anything.

It was normal for "new blood" to report straight to Frizz, but she liked looking around first. She couldn't get into anywhere though – even clad in her Overdrive uniform. Most of the people around her wore eerily similar clothing – a black shirt under a long sleeved leather jacket with black slacks. Well…if she primed herself right, she could get into whatever trouble she liked…

Mack had jokingly called her a "trouble magnet" – because everywhere she went, danger followed. It was one of the reasons she had applied for the TW space program. Well, that and the constant thrill of battle, hulking mekas and the endless modifications, customisations and tweaks she could put on her vehicle. Stopping in her steps, she blinked.

OK…too much time thinking like Rose. Where the…oh my God…

Her eyes were drawn to one figure in the crowd. Screams of "DIE!" punctuated the air as she somehow crept closer. He was just the same as she remembered him. Tall, slightly built, closely cropped black hair, sharp hawk-like features and a squared jaw caused by a prominent overbite. It was Weihan Liang. The Ranger that had single-handedly saved the team from defeat – only to leave after the battles. She had to admit, though, he still was as cute as ever. He was currently engaged in some light-hearted banter with some people.

"Well, I've got a few variant Mite Mekas on the Black Market."

Oh God, she thought as she inwardly withheld a moan. His voice was still as smooth as ever, with a low undercurrent of humour and seriousness. One of the people walking past – a heavyset Asian – called over to him.

"Oh yeah? How much?"

"11,000 credits, mint condition and all slotted. I've even –"

A pause as she saw him look in her direction. His eyes lit up as he jogged forward, towards her – conveniently ending his trade discussion – to the chagrin of the willing buyer. He still held an air of authority around him, but – damn – he looked good.

Even better than Tyzonne?

Damn. That was the rogue thought again – always reminding her of what she had left behind on Earth – but she wouldn't have given this opportunity up for the world. Especially if it meant seeing Weihan again.

As Weihan neared her, he felt his breath quicken. Ronny still looked beautiful. His eyes swept over her body, taking in every inch of her. She was simply stunning. He tried to calm himself. He knew what was going on. His crystal was part of the problem anyway. He walked up to her and they embraced like old friends – which they were. As much as he wanted more, he knew that the mission came first. He they parted, he began a mental checklist of everything that needed to be done.

It wasn't calming him down. His brain went into hyperdrive, crazily telling his lower anatomy to behave itself, although he really should have known better. That wasn't working…as expected.. Then, he realised she was looking at him with barely suppressed mirth – presuming correctly that it was directed at him. He took in a deep breath and steeled himself, running his tongue over his lips to prepare himself. Maybe he should have checked in with AJ instead of walking away but…well that had been then and now was now – to reuse the old cliché.

"Ronny"

She started at the sound of her name. Weihan bit down on the inside of his cheek, trying not to laugh. It felt good, seeing her again, feeling her body pressed up against his…and he should get his brain back on the mission before he ended up pouncing on her. He spoke again, dimly aware of GenStryker and Whistles384 moving the crowd away.

"We have a problem. I – we – need your help."

Ronny stopped short at his words, a tingle running down her spine. She didn't know who else needed her help, but she was damned if she was going to pass up another opportunity to work with the Ranger that had almost single-handedly saved their butts from Dryken. Nodding once, she opened her mouth to respond but was cut off abruptly by his next words.

"We need Power Rangers"

TBC…

AN: This is getting a slight rewrite and an edit to align it with the rest of the Ultra Crystals timeline. This and every other chapter will have things added, deleted and rewritten.
