Hey guys! This is the first chapter (it's the prologue) of Power Ranger Metamorph. This is just introducing the mentor for the rangers, the villain, some new characters, the carrier of the powers, and it is not that short or long. Hope you like it! Enjoy! Also, in conversations I use commas sometimes as a pause. Some things may not be true just a heads up.

"Are you sure? Because the last time I stayed the night at your apartment with you, Michael had eloped. I missed my best friend's elopement. That doesn't sit right with me."
"Okay, that was not my fault and they are planning a wedding. You know that. And besides, we're meeting everyone in Warrior Heights for a reunion tomorrow since it's been a few months since Susan has been free from work. And since your still in college we haven't seen you as often. It's only logical that I drive you there."
"You haven't? Well we can't have that now can we Luke? Especially since you went to college on the other side of the country while I was still in high school. And now with me in New York at the best dance school in the country we don't see each other as much because dance and creative writing majors don't really have the same schedule. Why not?" Samantha Yocum smiled at her boyfriend.
"I told you I would get you to agree didn't I?" Luke Ford grinned back.
Sam and Luke were on a date for the first time in months. They had decided to go to the Italian restaurant, Bella Naples in Warrior Heights. They had turned their phone's off and left them in their pockets. That night was about the two of them catching up.
"You did, didn't you? But really, I haven't seen anyone in forever! I'm really excited for Spring Break. A week without school work. But after this year I will officially be done with college. I am stoked!" Sam laughed.
"So am I. For totally selfish reasons. I will be able to see you more." Luke said.
"You are sweet, I love you." Sam murmured.
"I love you too. So how is my gorgeous girlfriend doing all alone in New York. I know it gets pretty hot there in the summer and really really cold in the winter." He asked.
"It gets lonely sometimes. No one really likes me because apparently I look to safe and short and carefree to be a dancer which is stupid and sounds stupid when you say it. But, it's not as lonely when you guys visit which is not often but I appreciate it. I have excellent grades and New York is super busy and I work at a cupcake place. Unfortunately there are no dance studios near campus. And, thanks for the compliment Luke." Sam ducked her head, a blush evident on her cheeks.
"Just telling it how I see it. And don't worry. We'll try to visit more even though we're busy nowadays and it costs money we don't really have to fly all the way across the country. And there's only a few more months left in the school year. You can do it." Luke stroked Sam's hand.
Sam's phone buzzed from inside her purse. They ignored it at first because they turned their phone's off. But as Sam's phone buzzed again, they noticed her bag vibrating.
"Sorry I thought I turned it off. Maybe if I tell whoever it is I'm busy and then turn my phone off they'll leave us be. So sorry!" Sam apologized as she took her phone out and pressed the on button.
"No worries, no harm done." Luke shook his head as he waved their waitor down. "Hi, we would like our check now." The waitor nodded and Luke smiled. "So who texted you?" He asked his girlfriend.
But Sam just stared at her phone and didn't answer.
"Sam?"
She still didn't answer.
"Samantha?"
No answer.
"Sam?"
Still nothing.
All of a sudden, Sam pushed up from her seat and grabbed her purse before walking away.
"Woah woah! Sam! Wait! What's wrong?" Luke quickly signed the bill and grabbed their leftovers before running after his girlfriend who had just walked out the front door. By the time he got outside, Sam was a ways away. He only got a glimpse at her before he saw her teleport away in a silver streak.
Luke sighed. They had gotten teleportation available to them a few years ago. He assumed that Sam was ready to go and decided to teleport home. He shoved his hand into his pocket and fingered the ring box in his pocket.
"Guess I won't be needing this tonight." Luke murmured to himself. He ran his fingers through his hair as he walked to his car and drove away.

At an unknown location, Sam arrived. She finally was released from her trance but didn't remember her previous activities.
"Where am I?" Sam looked around. She saw that she was in some sort of hangar like place. There were steel beams everywhere keeping the roof up and more steel beams lining the walls. The floor was a soft sand and carpet like material mixture. Along one wall there were ten doors, each with a different colored door. There was white, blue, green, black, yellow, orange, purple, silver, pink, and red.
Along another wall was computers, a bunch of buttons and a case that hung on the wall next to the computers. Hanging from the roof was a couple huge lights that were emitting a lot of light. On the wall farthest from where she was, was a gigantic steel door that was chained closed. She's could hear faint roars coming from beyond the doors but she couldn't distinguish what they were coming from. There was a set area beyond a door she found that was an infirmary and a work out area.
Spinning around she felt at peace there. It was simple yet seemed very useful. Sam ran her fingers along the rough wall and realized she was underground.
"We have been waiting for you." A voice said from behind her.
Sam spun around and found a group of five people sitting at a table that had seem to have come from a hole that was now in the ground. The man who spoke sat in the middle. He had no hair, a handlebar mustache and long intricate red and black robes. The second man sat to his right. He also had no hair and a goatee. He was wearing green and black robes.
The three women sat around the men. They all had their hair pulled back into tight french braids. The first women, had red hair and wore yellow and gray robes. The second women had blonde hair and blue and gray robes. And the third women had black hair and purple and gray robes.
"You have?" Sam asked tentatively.
"Samantha Yocum. Silver Ninja Spirit Warrior Power Ranger. Of course we know who you are. You are a legend among our kingdom. On our home planet of Roythea we are divided into kingdoms. You are a legend in ours, Crecarus. I am Prolurq. The other man is Ruycreg. The lady in yellow is Cheol'ohti. The lady in blue is Riylz. And the lady in purple is Daeqed. We are the royal council of Crecarus. And we need your help. Everyone, needs your help." Prolurq sighed.
"Help? What kind of help? How can I help? How did you know I was ranger?" Sam asked.
"There is a being. We can't call him a man, but that is what he is. A man and a being. He goes throughout the universe conquering and destroying and imprisoning many planets and has been doing so for millions of years. He comes from Crecarus. He's coming to Earth. We need warriors to defeat him. No one on Roythea is willing to fight him and his army but they gave us the resources we need to do it. But we have heard of your expeditions as a ranger." Riylz spoke.
"What resources? Who will these warriors be fighting?" Sam questioned.
"Our planet, we are metamorphs. We each have a specific spirit we turn into but we can turn in just about anything we want to. These warriors will be able to harness the powers of Roythea's ancestors. They will be able to transform into their spirit and then they will have many transformations that they'll be able to use. They will be power rangers. They will be fighting Geazies. They are the villains henchmen.
We are in The Underground. This is where the warriors can sleep, train, relax. This is where the zords are kept. No one can get in if they aren't in the system. They will be fighting Veofarsto. He is my brother." Ruycreg looked away after saying this.
"Oh! Well um, this guy Veofarsto, why is he going after Earth? Why is he destroying the universe?" Sam inquired.
"A long time ago, I was married to him. He was the best husband I could ever ask for. Veo, he used to work for the Royal Mystic Guard. He protected the piece of the ancient mystic power of Roythea. It is broken into 10 parts and each part is protected by the ten kingdoms. One part per kingdom. It contains the spirits of our ancestors.
One day, Veo he, he got a visit from a man. He was constantly glancing at me from where I was in the kitchen. It turns out he had been using me as a way to get spies in the castle. This man, was one of them. They reported back to him on the progress of breaking the case that surrounds the mystic power. I am a princess. I don't like to be called one though after what happened. He was my husband and was allowed to enter some of the most sacred parts of the castle.
We didn't know until me, Riylz and Daeqed, who are both good friends of mine, over heard him talking to somebody. He was going to blow all ten castles up and his spies were going to take each mystic power and rule the entire world. We could not let him do that. He had planned everything. From meeting me, to when he was going to murder me! We secretly told the guards that report to the kings, the kings and we came up with a plan. A month later we replaced the real mystic power with fake ones and scattered them on Earth. It was constantly changing and we hoped it would stay hidden that way.
What we didn't know was that Veofarsto had tied his energy to the mystic power. All that means is when the power goes dormant, Veofarsto goes to sleep. When the power is awake, so is Veo. When Veo saw that the power he was guarding was a fake, he went on a rampage. He left Roythea alone. He wanted us to be the last planet he wanted destroyed. Than the power went dormant. Everything was calm for the past 5 million years. But, we can sense the power waking up. And when it does, so does Veo and he will be pissed. He will also know the general area of the power here, in Pasemacres, California. We found out a few years ago and made this. He's after the Mystic power. He will be invicible if he gets it." Cheol'ohti talked. She sounded heartbroken and angry.
"I am sorry he played you like that. But why am I here?" Sam gently asked.
"The rangers will need a mentor. Somebody who knows what it's like to balance ranger and school and family and friends and activities. Someone like you." Daeqed grinned.
"Me? But there is like, a million other rangers who have done the same thng!" Sam protested.
"We know. But we have heard stories about your kindness, compassion, courage, and actions as a ranger. We need you Samantha. Please." Cheol'ohti pleaded, standing up.
Sam sighed. "Only if you call me Sam." She smiled softly.
"Excellent. Come." Prolurq moved to the case near the computers. "The, techy thingies area is easy to operate. Everything has a label to tell you what each thing is and it is above the button. This case has the morphers. Not all the rangers are joining at the beginning." Prolurq continued as he opened the case.
Inside the case were black square morphers. Each had a stripe across the middle with a stripe with each respective ranger color going down the middle. In the middle, was each rangers zords.
"And a few more things. This is accessible through a building we bought for you. We have people going through and turning it into a dance studio. The zords are super friendly and are through that big steel door. Now, I am afraid we are going to have to take your memory of this ever happening. Your memory will return when the power has awoken and chosen it's masters. There are people who work for Veofarsto out there in human form. A few can read minds but only around the time Veofarsto wakes up. Than an hour after he does, they can't." Ruycreg said.
"I understand." Sam nodded. She closed her eyes as the council raised their hands above her head. And then she was gone.

At Sam's bedroom at her dad's house, Sam is just getting into bed. She was going through her date with Luke that late. She giggled a little and ran her fingers through her long hair. Sam really loved him. She reached for her phone and texted him.
'I had a great night. Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow.'
Sam frowned though when she saw his reply.
'That's great Sam. Goodnight.'
Luke was usually not so hasty to stop talking to her. He usually stayed a little longer to talk with her but today, he just sounded disinterested.
'Maybe he's just tired. Yeah that's it! I'll talk to him tomorrow.' Sam thought to herself. She plugged her phone in and fell asleep.

*6 Months Later* *Beginning of School Year*
"Yeah but really, at the moment no one has tried to attack earth. It's kinda nice. But I know it's not gonna be like that all the time." Sam said as she moved an empty box to the storage room at Spice Dance Academy in Pasemacres, California.
"Well yeah but you are gonna rock being a mentor. Just be there for them and help them out." Cora Stevenson said. "Now enough about being rangers." She grabbed Sam's arm. "How are you and Luke?"
"Honestly? I feel like something's wrong. We're just not as close as we were before. I know we still love each other but, things are now a little bit tense when we are together." Sam admitted.
"Oh Sam. Give it time. Ryan went through the same thing when I went to college since we wouldn't be together as much. Maybe he's just adjusting to having you so much closer than before everyday." Cora suggested, hugging Sam the best she could with her pregnant stomach.
"Now I have to go. With the baby, Ryan's been worrying when I'm out. Tomorrow you have Toddler Time and you and I both know how crazy they can be. See you." Cora waved goodbye one last time before leaving.
Sam sighed and walked over to her office. She pressed an invisible button on her phone and a slide appeared on the side of the bookcase. She slid down and walked into The Underground. A few months ago on her graduation, she got her missing memory back but didn't remember what really happened before she got summoned.
"Samantha! The power has chosen it's masters. Are you ready?" Riylz asked. She had ran up to Sam when she first walked into the room. Sam looked around the room and thought about it.
"No. But I have to be." She replied. "Bring it on."

*3 Months Earlier*
In a large black spaceship that covered a large area. There was nothing special about it. Just a large black spaceship. But inside, were some of the most feared people in the galaxy.
In the medical bay, a being was laying in a bed. His face was half wolf, half human and had two blue eyes. He had human body that looked as if it was infused with a metal pole with a wolf's tail. He wore bounty hunter clothing but had a couple of swords instead of guns. There were holes in multiple places all over his body.
His eyes snapped open. He let out a long and loud howl that jolted another being awake. She frowned in confusion before she headed the howl. She let out a giggle and clapped her hands. She pressed a button and the being's bindings were released. She then ran to her master and bowed in front of him.
"Your awake! Finally! It's been too long! Oh master! It's, we can't find the power! I am so sorry! We are so sorry! Please forgive us!" She sobbed.
"Timora! Get up! How long have I been out?!" The being grumbled, kicking Timora away. She scrambled to get up.
"Well, you you know, not that long! Not that long at all sir!" Timora stammered.
"How long Timora!" He growled stepping closer to a now composed Timora.
"5 million years." She's stated clearly, now stable.
"Grrrrrrrrrrr!" He kicked Timora away again.
"Master?" Timora asked.
"Prepare the ship. We're heading to Earth. I can sense the power." He growled.
"Yes master." Timora walked away leaving her master to himself.
As she walked away, the being sat on his bed and smirked, revealing sharp teeth all the way around.
"Watch out earth. Veofarsto is coming. And I will avenge Zilyna."
So there you go! If you see Veofartso somewhere, it is supposed to be Veofarsto. It's very similar though. The rangers will be introduced next chapter. Only I think seven or six of the ten will be introduced until the middle of the story. Yeah, Sam is the mentor, yeah she doesn't remember her leaving Luke on their date but she told her fellow Spirit Warriors and other rangers that she was a mentor. So, basically everyone she went through rangering with except for her parents. Have a nice day!
