Welcome to the world of Dino Charge. Here we have my own personal take on how the new season of Power Rangers could go, based on rumors and character descriptions and sometimes Kyoryuger itself. Some episodes and qualities are similar to their Japanese counterparts, like me keeping names of monsters because of my lack of creativity. I hope you all like the story, and feel free to give me some feedback/constructive criticism. Charge on ahead (you see what I did there, I'M SO PUNNY...)!
WARNING: Cursing, some darker themes, not completely child-proof...
Jason looked up at the large mansion before him, stooped that Hayley's exaggeration of her niece's house was true. Nervous is different from scared, he thought to himself. Every glass window seemed to close in on him as he looked down at the little card in his hand, and promptly threw his hands up in the air. Intimidated by the house and his best friend's genius of a friend, he knocked on the door.
Obvious footsteps approached, but the door refused to open.
"Uh, hello?" He knocked again.
A simple silence hung on the opposite side of the door.
"I'm looking for...Kiera Bogan. Tommy Oliver and Hayley Ziktor sent me. AHHHHH!"
A strong yank on the arm pulled him inside ever so abruptly and shut the door behind him. The first red ranger shrunk under the glass chandelier as he looked for the one who roped him into the lavish house.
"Aunt Hayley sent you?"
"Ah!" Jason yelped as he whipped around. He was to look down at his destination, which came in the form of a young woman with thick glasses and sleek blonde hair pulled into a high ponytail. "Yeah, that's right. You're..."
"Kiera Bogan, yeah. You're Tommy and Hayley's messenger?"
"Yeah, and you're Hayley's nie-"
"Niece? Yeah. Come with me!"
Jason didn't expect such a rush, for her hand was clutching him arm again and pulling him towards the other side of the house. He passed by too many marble figures and delicate vases before being brought over to another door. In the speed of light she punched in a code and pulled him in before he even saw the door open.
As he skittered down a flight of stairs, the only question that came up so far was, "How are you related to Hayley?" His arm was suddenly let go and light footsteps ran to what sounded like the other side of dark.
"You tell me." The lights switched on.
"Holy crap...oh that's how."
His side held an average appearance. The side opposite him, however, was truly a technologist's paradise. It was as simple to Jason as three big monitors and a hundred buttons, but to a possessor like Kiera or Hayley it was far more complex than one wanted to understand.
"Jeez," he said as he walked over to the panel of glowing buttons. "This is all yours?"
"It's nothing really," Kiera replied as she dropped a stack of papers onto a nearby table. From the corner of her eye, she saw Jason's fingers grazing over the buttons. And promptly walked over.
"Ow!"
"Don't touch anything. That's pretty much how we got into this mess."
Jason only grinned sheepishly and tried to hide the nervousness tingling within his voice. "Right." He walked over to the large marble table that sat in the center of the room, sitting on it as Kiera glided back and forth through the room. "So you live here by yourself?"
"The house isn't really mine, but yes I do."
"That must get really lonely."
Kiera's frantic hands seemed to calm down just a bit. "Yeah. So I assume you're here to help me get this project back on track?"
"Well, what is this project anyway? The two of them never got around to telling me."
The screens suddenly flickered on, and Jason found himself looking at the most common sight to his eyes. An array of colorful figures stared him in the face as Kiera began speaking in what seemed her most comfortable tone.
"In prehistoric times, ten small, but powerful stones called the Energems were scattered between ten dinosaurs. When the extinction occurred, they somehow absorbed the great power of the asteroids that hit Earth. After the dinosaurs' extinction, they became scattered around the earth. If it gets into the wrong hands...the result on the bigger world can be fatal. So when Aunt Hayley and I discovered these, we knew we needed to do something. When we were pardoned from MIT to gain the Energem that was already discovered, we got to work. We created a molecular transit device that helped us to extract the power of the Energem. When we had the abundance, we sent it out to all the points of the world. This would be matched in terms of power, size, etc. Doing so would help us pinpoint where the rest of the gems were, so we could harness the power and keep it from causing any destruction. And we succeeded. From Hayley's base in Reefside, we had control over all of the Energems all over the world. Every piece of breakthrough research on one device."
This is where I come in, Jason thought to himself.
"Then one day, some dumbass comes along, pushes a button, and destroys the whole experiment."
Jason let out a nervous laugh. "Really?"
"Yeah. With a push of a button, every piece of data and power we had of the gems were gone. All the data gone. All the locations gone. Now the opportunity to control that power is anyone's game."
He tugged on the collar of his shirt. As his face grew hotter, Kiera huffed.
"I can't believe that guy! We worked so hard on everything. Now we've got the world to save."
"Maybe it was just a mistake," Jason said defensively. "He probably didn't mean to."
"Yeah, yeah. You and your morals." Kiera said as she met him on the table to clean up a few more papers. "So did my aunt Hayley tell you anything else?"
"Kind of, but not really." Jason replied. "I do recall Tommy telling me, 'You got one down. Screwing this one up will be the end of you'. And then Hayley said, 'Do not, I repeat, do not screw this one up Jason Lee Scott'."
Kiera suddenly dropped her papers at the sound of his name. Slowly, but pensively, she looked him in the eye.
"You're…Jason Lee Scott?" she asked. Jason, in his full honestly, nodded.
The next sentence was a hard punch to the face.
