As a point of reference, this story is taking place in the universe of Mighty Morphin, and be warned, this will be OUT-CANNON. I will do my best to create my own story with the same universe, characters. *
Angel Grove
Our story starts in the beautiful city of Angel Grove, typical american city, 376 000 citizens and always enlightened by the bright american sun.
We start of in one the town most iconic, busy, classy and popular building...the Youth Center. The Youth Center was the popular hang-out place of the teenagers of the town, it is run by a man named Ernie who runned the juice bar, but this story is not about him, it is about a group of teenagers that hangs around him often.
At this instance, while Ernie was cleaning the bar after a long day, he let that group stay after hours often, five of them was talking. There was a afro-american boy named Zack, a boy in a red shirt named Jason, a young asian woman named Trini, a young girl in pink named Kimberly and a young boy with glasses named Billy. They were relaxing and talking
- '' Oooh, did you saw the head that Bulk made ? With the cream on his face, it was even better ! '' said Zack
- '' Those two bully just had to stay in place and stop bullying Billy for once '' said Trini, a bit mad.
- '' It wasn't that bad, I assure you... '' said weakly the shy geek.
- '' No, it was mean and unnecessary, you have to stand up to yourself, you deserve better then that. ''
Ernie, that had just finished cleaning approach them.
- '' Anyway, did you guys heard the news ? ''
- '' No, what is it ? '' said Jason, interested.
- '' I heard, there is a transfer student coming from Canada arriving soon ''
- '' Oh, I heard about it too ! He is from Quebec, if I remember well. '' Said Kimberly.
- '' Do you guys think we should greet him when he arrives ? '' Propose Zack.
The four others aggrees. It was important to make him feel welcomed.
The following Day
Nicolas (1st person)
Thank god, I'm finally arrived ! This has been a LONG ride, well, it is a long way from Quebec. I still feel the worms in my legs. It's good to be finally out of the plane.
I met up with a man called Mr. Moncton, he said he's going to be my legal tutor for my stay here. I have no problem with that, my parents are still at home in my home country, so it's good to see that I will have somewhere to stay.
I go in his car, and he drives me around town show me what there is to see.
- '' There are a lot of things to see in Angel Grove, trust me, you won't be bored. ''
- '' I assure you, I won't, I'm so excited about all of this that I'll never have the time to get bored. ''
- '' That's good. ''
- '' Where are we going now ? ''
- '' I'm taking you to school. ''
- '' Sérieusement ? That's not cool dude ! ''
- '' Trust me, Angel Grove High School is one of those schools where a lot of things happens, so I think you will be fine. ''
- '' If you say so monsieur... I mean, sir. Sorry, switching to French is one of my quirks, don't worry about it. ''
We continue our ride until he drops me at the school. He smiles at me.
- '' After school, you'll just have to wait for me, I'll take you back, but I'll may be a little late so don't worry if I'm not here. ''
- '' Okay, no problem sir. ''
- '' Have a good first day ! ''
Like that, he went away. Now, I really feel alone, in a crowd of students, I do not really know where to go now. While I'm thinking about what to do next, I see a group of students that seems to go in my direction.
Angel Grove High School
(3rd person)
Finally the transfer student was here, it had been difficult to find him because of all the students, but they saw him stand in a spot and they could easily identify him. One bonus, for giving the school visit to him, they had free of the first class. Plus, they really wanted to meet him before Bulk and Skull got a hand on him. In bref, they wanted to give him a good first impression
had given them a basic description of him, and when he was supposed to arrive. Now they had him in front of them, he had brown hair, had a t-shirt and jeans look and was wearing glasses.
The five of them approached him, the boy seems nervous. Jason greets him with his charismatic smile.
- '' Hello, my name is Jason, and this is Kimberly, Zack, Trini and Billy. We welcome you to Angel Grove. ''
He presented his hand. The newcomer shook it with a bit of hesitation, then he look at the group one by one, then spoke.
- '' B-Bonjour, my name is Nicolas Dufours, you must certainly know that I am new here, it's a pleasure to meet you all. ''
- '' It's a pleasure to meet you too, we have the first period free, would you like to visit the school with us? '' ask Trini
Nicolas smiled, he happily accepted, thankful to have made friends on the first day.
Rita's Palace
- '' Oh, looks like the Rangers have made a new friend ! ''
The Evil Witch, Rita, is looking through her telescope. With her two servant Baboo and Squatt laughing in the background. The first one approach his queen.
- '' What kind of maleficient plan have you concocted this time, my queen ? ''
- '' We will capture the Frenchy boy, the Rangers will have to surrender or we will turn their friend into our own ! ''
- '' Oh that is magnificiently evil ! ''
- '' I know, FINSTER! ''
Rita called her alchemist.
- '' Yes, mistress ? ''
- '' I want you to create a new monster, a sneaky, quick and horrible monster ! ''
- '' I might have just what you need, let me a few minutes for me to create it, and you'll have it. ''
- '' Make it fast Finster, this time we have to succeed. ''
She goes back to her telescope, with her two servants by her side, watching the earth, thinking of her plan and how she will execute it.
- '' First of all, we will send the Putties to distract the Power Rangers, when they are, we will send our monster to the school to capture the boy. Then the Rangers will have nothing else to do than give up. This is brilliant. The Power Rangers are doomed ! ''
She starts to laugh evily, proud of her new plan and confident that this time, they will be victorious.
- '' Putties ! Appear ! ''
Angel Grove
(3rd person)
The group was just finishing the school tour with their new friend. His French slips amused them and he was kind and pretty funny. They passed by the gymnasium and they asked him if he knew any martial arts.
- '' Hum... Well, I took some classes of self-defence back home, I think I was pretty good at it. Not an expert by any means, but pretty good. ''
- '' That's great, you could come train with us from time to time, we pratice sometimes at the Youth Center, do you know where that is ? '' asked Jason.
- '' Oui, showed me where it was.''
- '' That's great, you could hang out with us if you want, we always go there after school. '' said Kimberly with enthusiasm.
- '' Yeah, that would be fun, but today, is going to show me where I live after school, so next time then ? ''
- '' No problem, you're always welcome '' said Zack.
Then at this moment, their watches began to ring. They all knew what that meant. They excused themselves and ran outside, they were soon after joined by Tommy. They contacted Zordon.
- '' Zordon, what is happening ? '' Said Tommy.
- '' It's Rita, she sended Putties in the park and they are attacking the citizens, you must stop them. ''
They all rassembled themselves around Tommy who said.
- '' Ok, guys, it's Morphin Time ! ''
Zack took his Morpher and said : '' Mastodon ! '' He then morphed into the Black Ranger.
Billy took his Morpher and said : '' Triceratops ! '' He morphed into the Blue Ranger.
Trini followed and said : '' Sabre-Toothed Tiger ! '' And morphed into the Yellow Ranger.
Kimberly continued and said : '' Pterodactyl ! '' She morphed into the Pink Ranger.
Jason took his Morpher next and said : '' Tyrannosaurus '' He morphed into the Red Ranger.
Finally, Tommy finished and said : '' Dragonzord ! '' He morphed into the Green Ranger.
They all took positions and all shouted together : '' Power Rangers ! ''
They then teleported at the park to take care of the Putties.
Rita's Palace
Rita that was as always observing the situation was happy that her plan seemed to be working, the Rangers are now distracted by the Putties that she basically sended in a suicide mission.
- '' Ah ah ! Excellent, while those naive Rangers fight my minions and think they are saving the day, I will send my monster to the school. FINSTER ! Is the monster ready ? ''
- '' He is now, my Queen ''
A creature came out of the Monstermatic, it looked like an humanoid Cheetah, with a lot more fur, and larger teeth.
- '' He looks good, but is he fast enough ? ''
The creature looked at the Witch and just growled.
Finster defended his creation.
- '' His name is Fastor, he is fast enough to catch the boy, and certainly to fight off the Rangers, the need may be. ''
The villainess looked at the creature, then came back looking at Earth.
- '' Well then, Fastor, go get that boy and bring it to me ! ''
The creature growled in approbation, and went on his way.
Angel Grove High School
Nicolas (1st person)
Where did they all go ? I just finished my first class, which happened to be the second period of the day, but my friends are still not there, I wonder where they went. Maybe they had different classes, I do not know.
I was walking in the halls trying to figure out where to go when I met with two interesting individuals, one was fat, there is no word to go around that, the other was slim and was following the other like his shadow, or a parrot. They went in front of me and was trying to act tough.
- '' Hey Frenchy, go back to your country ! ''
- '' Yeah ! Go back to your country ! ''
- You know that's what I am going to do at end of the year anyway, right ? ''
That response was not really useful, because they just continued on their momentum.
- '' Go back to France, eat some bread and frog legs ! ''
- '' Yeah! Do that ! ''
- '' You know I'm Canadian and not French, right ? ''
All of this is completely pointless, so I just continue on my way and ignore those two. When suddenly, I hear some screams coming from outside. I run outside and see something really strange. The best word I could come up with is, monster. The thing looked like a cheetah but much more monstruous. It was screaming and running around, but suddenly, it looked at me. It sended me chills through my spine. It launched a powerful roar and started running towards me, I turned around and started running inside the school.
After a few moments, I noticed that it was fast, it was catching up to me really quickly. If I can't run from it, I have to try and fight it. For some reasons, it seems that it has me for target, because it didn't went for any other student.
I try to hit it with a spin kick, but it dodged, and it hit me in my stomach. I'm launched a few meters away and I fall on my back. I jump back onto my feet, and I try to hit it again. It's too fast. It dodge everything, well almost, I try a jump kick and by some miracle I'm able to hit his chest, but that's certainly not enough. It grabs me and throw me into a wall. It hurts like hell, I can now barely stand. This is not over, I bring myself up once again, and try to go on the offensive, but the creature parry my attack, and give a solid it on the back of my head, that knock me out.
Power Rangers (3rd person)
- '' Yeah, we beat them once again, almost too easy ! '' Zack was celebrating with a dance of his own.
- '' Yeah... '' said Tommy without enthusiasm.
- '' What's wrong ? '' ask Jason.
- '' I don't know, I feel like that was supposed to happen, like we're being manipulated. ''
- '' I hope you're just being paranoid. '' Says Kimberly.
- '' I hope so too. '' He respond.
Their watches ring again. They respond.
- '' Zordon ? What is it ? '' Says Jason, worried.
- '' We have an emergency, I'll teleport you all to the Command Center for more detail. ''
- '' That can't be good... '' says Trini.
Command Center
They all arrive at the same time at the Command Center. In the middle of the room, there was Alpha 5, that was freaking out.
- '' Ay yi yi ! Big trouble, big trouble ! ''
Billy came to calm him down.
- '' Calm down Alpha '' He turns toward Zordon '' So Zordon, what is the emergency? ''
- '' It seems that Tommy was right, the Putties in the park was only a diversion. ''
Everyone gasped, except Tommy that only mumbled.
- '' Sometime, I hate when I'm right... ''
- '' Go see on the Viewing Globe ''
They all go around the Viewing Globe, and it shows the events that occured at the High School, more and more it advances, the more horrified the Ranger looks.
- '' It seems that Rita tricked us all, she sended the Putties in the park to distract your attention from the school, she sended one of her monster. Even worse, it seems to have attacked and captured your friend Nicolas Dufours. ''
- '' Oh no... '' whispered Kimberly.
- '' Why ? '' Said Zack, with anger.
- '' The intentions of Rita are not clear for the moment, but stay on your guard Power Rangers, it is certainly not a coincidence that Rita capture him just after your meeting. ''
- '' How can we save him now ? '' Ask Trini
Billy thinks for a bit, then goes at the computer.
- '' I think we can still find them, my hypothesis is that Rita captured our friend most probably for some sort of exchange, like an hostage situation. I do not even want to know what the deal is going to be or the consequences will be if we refuse. We have to find him before the monster gets him to Rita. ''
- '' How do we do that? '' Asked Kimberly.
- '' All monster created by Rita are basically magical animorphs, their entire chimical and biogical composition is made by magic, if we can find any residements of magical sources on the geological zone arounding our present location, we will find where he is and with him, we will find Nick. ''
The others all turned to Trini.
- '' Trini, a translation please ? '' asked Zack.
- '' He means that if we use find a magical being in the region, it must probably be him. ''
- '' We gotta make a plan, but one thing is for sure, we will get him back, and we will save the world once again. ''
They all agreed, and they met together to make a plan to save the captured Nicolas Dufours.
TO BE CONTINUED...
And that is it for the first Episode/Chapter of Power Rangers and the Seventh Ranger !
Now that it is over, there is the part where I explain what I just did.
1- Yes, in this story Tommy will stay Green. I said I will not follow the Canon
2- Yes, Nicolas is French, so he will speak some French from time to time, most of the time I will put the translation in a section at the end of each chapter. Except this one where he didn't said anything too complicated.
3- Yes, I suck at writing some of these characters, I'll do my best to improve it with time. I re-watch the episodes at the same time that I write this.
I think that's it for the explanations...for now. Now is the time for thanks. Thank you for having read this fiction. If any of you comes from Teen Titans and the Paradox or The Underland Chronicles : The Warrior and The Brain, my two other stories, this is NOT the third story in that continuum. That one will come later when the two others will be completed.
If you liked or disliked this chapter, I invite you to write a review. If you have any OC's that you'd like to include in this story, please feel free to MP me, or any suggestion for this story.
For now, goodbye!
