Prologue
Nobody knew the reason why Ziggy was out in the Waste Land. Not even Dillon really knew. Ziggy never talked about it and no one really asked. Summer had asked him about it a few times but had never gotten an answer. When she did he had babbled and completely avoided the question.
Ziggy didn't want to think about his time in the Waste land. Things had happened out there that he just wanted to forget. He vowed to never tell anyone about what he had gone through. If he did then he would loose his friends and the only person he ever loved. It was too bad that fate seemed to hate him and people had different plans.
Chapter 1
As I sat in the garage I felt guilt knaw at my gut. I didn't belong here. I hid behind my friends and Ranger status. That's all I ever did. I was always hiding. I hid from my past, I hid from my friends, and I even hid from myself. I don't think I'll ever stop hiding. Hiding has gotten harder since I became a Ranger. It was easy to hide out in the Waste Land; at least out there I was alone. Now that I'm in the city it's harder to hide what I am.
You see, my name is Ziggy Grover and I'm the Green Power Ranger. I live with seven other people and things get rather crowded and it's hard to keep things a secret. The Red Ranger and our leader is Scott Truman. The Yellow Ranger is Summer Landsdown. The Blue Ranger is Flynn McAllistair. The Black Ranger is Dillion; he has no last name. The Gold and Silver Rangers are Gem and Gemma respectively. The seventh member of our team is Doctor K. She made the Ranger program.
I'm babbling again, aren't I? Sorry I tend to babble a lot. It gets on everyones nerves a lot. I guess that's why no one wants to hang out with me that much. Everbody just kind of does their own thing when we aren't fighting and no one really includes me. Not like they try that hard to. We're fighting a compuer virus called Venjix that was also made by Doctor K. We protect the dome city of Corinth from it.
Right now Flynn is working on some invention of his. Flynn is our mechanic and is always coming up with strange inventions. Gem and Gemma are talking about something that probably concerned explosives. Gem and Gemma are twins and they love blowing stuff up. Suummer and Dillon were trying to figure out Dillon's pocket watch. Dillon has no memories of his past except for bits and piecies that don't make much sense and his only connection to the past and his sister is his pocket watch. He's also my first and best friend. Summer likes Dillon and is always trying to 'fix' him. I don't like Summer much. Scott was tuning up his red and white sports car. He loves his car. Doctor K is in her lab doing I don't know what, but it probably concerns Project Ranger. As you can tell I'm just sitting here and watching them all.
Today was a pretty quiet day so far. There have been no Venjix attacks yet. Not even Tenaya has done anything. It was slightly unnerving. Apparently I was the only one who thought that because everyone else was relaxed. Even Dillon had dropped his gaurd. I had learned long ago that bad things happen when you dropped your gaurd even the slightest.
A sudden wave of pain shot through my limbs starting from the base of my spine. I grimaced and fought the pain, pushing it back. My fingers twitched and I clenched my hands into fists. I wouldn't let the pain win. I refused to loose myself to the thing inside me. No one noticed my strange behavior. They never noticed anything I did unless I messed up.
I squeezed my eyes shut to hide the red flash. I hated when this happened. It was always hard to cover up and fighting it left me with a killer headache. The pain disappeared just as suddenly as it had come. Not even a headache remained. I opened my eyes and unclenched my fists. No one was even looking at me. I sighed quietly to myself. I was both grateful and saddened by this realization.
'I see your friends don't seem to like you much Grover,' a voice said in my head. I froze and felt the blood drain from my face. I knew that voice and only one person I knew only called me by my last name.
'This can't be possible,' I thought. Venjix was in my head.
