Elemental Squad: Red Inferno

-Author's Note-

Hello,

Well… this is Elemental Squad. Before you read it, you might wanna know why I would write it to begin with.

If anyone from school found out I wrote a Power Ranger fanfiction any social life I had would become non-existent.

About a year ago, I went to MGM Studios at Walt Disney World for a music competition. While in MGM, I was watching one of the daily parades and who did I see? Well, I saw Captain Hook—he was cool, but I saw the yellow Operation Overdrive ranger. When I got home, I started reading Power Ranger fanfiction (awkwaaaaard!). In the summer, I watched "Once a Ranger" and remembered why I liked the series.

This story never really started to form until the beginning of school, when I was reading an article on for an upcoming episode of Stargate Atlantis, one of my favorite shows. Emma Lahana, who played Kira Ford, was/is going to guest star in a later episode (episode 414, "Outcast").

After that, I went into a writing craze, and wrote this story in three different three-subject notebooks.

My characters and storyline have changed a lot, and I finished the first draft on January 28. Since then, I've been editing, typing, and drawing.

This story is the finished product. I've learned a lot about myself and writing while working on this. It's one of my best yet, so I'm posting it.

Tell me what you think, and thanks for reading.

Prologue

My name is Erica Claze. I was 16 when it happened, when I got caught in a rift in space and time. I was sent from 2006 to 1994. My world came crashing down, and I almost gave up, but there were a few who helped me, and I was able to survive.

The Year is 2008, I'm now 30, and this is my story of the past 14 years of my life, starting and ending in the city of Angel Grove.

Chapter 1

I fell to the ground hard, even with the grass to soften my fall I could feel pain rushing through my body. I turned my head and looked at was in my right hand. What was once my Red Inferno morpher was now a piece a scrape metal, completely crushed, as well as melted, and now completely useless.

I tried to get up only to have pain shoot through me again.

My duffle bag was on the ground a few feet away, it was spotted with blood, Michael's blood.

I was preparing to run before I ended up here, so most of what was left of my life was in that bag, mainly my laptop, IPOD, Blanket, and two changes of clothes.

I lay still for a few more minutes, when I could move without causing serious pain or adding injury, I did. Slowly I stood up, using the tree near my head for support. I picked up my bag, shoved my morpher deep inside of it and walked away.

I stayed out of view of the people around at this time in the early morning. Blood still covered my skin and clothes for the fight that I'd been in only minutes before. I walked past a sign and noticed it was the entrance sign to the park, it said Angel Grove Park. I'd heard of angel Grove before supposedly the first earth ranger team started there in '93.

I continued on until I came across the news stand. Taking a moment I glanced at the front page. On the top read the date, July 29th, 1994.

The color, if any was left, drained for my face. I ran as fast as I could, trying to find a place to crash and figure this out.

I ended up in an abandoned office building. The phone line hadn't been disconnected yet, so with lady luck now at my side I hooked up my laptop and started to search for the California DMV. I hacked the system and started to create an ID for me; compared to 2006 systems it was simple. With it done I fell asleep on the left over couch.

When I woke up a few hours later I cleaned the blood off my face, and changed clothes. I left the building and walked down the street, going no where in particular. I knew I couldn't get home, at least not for twelve years, I needed a job. Somehow I ended up at a computer repair shop.

"Can I help you young lady?" I turned to see an old man entering the main room.

"Looking for a job and ended up here." I fingered the morpher in my pocket.

"Do you have any experience?" I could tell he was nice, like a grandpa would be to there grandchildren.

"I've been working around computers most of my life." I replied looking around.

"Come on back; let's see what you can do." I followed him into the back part of the shop. "This here computer just came in a few hours ago, won't start worth a dam."

"Nothin's wrong with it, the powers not making a complete circuit." I moved around a few of the parts and then plugged it into the wall. "Good as new," the system lit up.

"My name is Cal Anders and this here is my repair shop."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Erica, Erica Claze."

"Well Ms. Claze looks like you just got yourself a job."

I shook his hand. "Thanks, thanks a lot."

End Chapter 1
