Chapter one
Kimberly Ann Hart-Ranger sat in her window seat reading one of her fashion magazines. It was a beautiful Saturday morning in the middle of April and the teenage girl was enjoying the sun warming her through the large window.
She glanced up at the old butterfly shaped clock that still hung on the wall, it was nine o'clock, years ago it had been a birthday present from her biological parents, it was one of the two things she still had from them, the other being an old stuff dog. They had abandoned her when she was in first grade, but some times she wondered what her life would have been like if they hadn't left.
The sounds of doors opening and closing told her that her siblings were up and about. Somewhere down the hall a shower turned on, Jason, her older brother, must have got back from his morning jog.
She let out a sigh, noting the smell of bacon in the air, she glanced once more at the clock, should she get dressed before going downstairs?
She shrugged, there was no rule against eating breakfast in her pajamas and she really didn't want to get dress until she knew what the others were doing. The mall, the youth center, the beach, each one required a different outfit. There was always an adventure when she was with her five adoptive siblings.
Kapow, Kim's doe eyes grew wide as she glanced out the window to figure out where the explosion had came from. Smoke bellowed from her one brother's lab in the massive back yard.
Jumping up she grabbed her robe and started to hurry down the hall, suddenly she bumped into something solid, and wet. Kim quickly dodged around Jason, wiping the water off her face with the sleeve of her robe, mentally telling herself, not now, not now, I can't grow a tail right now.
"Hey, Kim, where's the fire?" Another voice called out, Zack had poked his head out of his room. He would be fourteen in a little over a week.
"Billy's lab," she shouted as she started down the stairs.
...
Billy buried his head in his head, first he had accidentally crossed wires that shouldn't have been crossed, causing an explosion that nearly burn down his lab, then he couldn't keep up with everyone else in his karate class.
"For your very first class you did very good,"Jason tried to comfort him.
"You did better than Bulk," eleven year old Lori stated, brushing a stand of red hair out of her face as she plopped down next to her brother. Her green eyes gleaming with laughter as she remembered how the bully had face planted it are trying to do a spinning tornado kick.
"You did great," Trini added.
"Yeah, we were watching," Kim hoped that wouldn't make him more upset knowing his siblings had watched him fail.
"When is Ernie going to bring our food, I'm starved." Zack declared just as Ernie arrived with their drinks.
"Food will be out in a minute," he told them. Just then the ground stated to shake, "earthquake, everyone remain calm!" He ordered.
...
Zordon had teleported to the command center as soon as he felt the earthquake. Alpha was running around panicking with his teddy bear clutched to his chest.
Zordon quick reached out an grabbed him by the shoulder, "Relax, Rita must have escaped, she's attacking the earth. I need you to teleport..."
"No," Alpha interrupted, "I know what you are going to say and no teenagers!"
"Kimberly, Jason, Zack, Billy, and Trini here." Zordon finished, giving Alpha a strange look, he must be watching to many soap operas about moody teens.
...
Back at the youth center Jason was trying to get his younger siblings to safety when suddenly he and the others disappeared in a flash of light.
Lori looked around, "Jason! Where did you go? You were suppose to watch after me! That's what being a big brother is about!"
...
Kim slowly got up from where she had landed, "this isn't exactly the mall is it," she said, slipping into Eltarian, looking around in amazement. It was some sort of computer, control room place with tons of buttons.
"This place is magnificent," Billy exclaimed, pushing his glasses up his nose. The others quietly talked between them wondering how they got there and where they where.
"Maybe I can find answers," Billy said looking at all the different controls.
"No, don't touch that," a voice called out behind them as a little robot run forward. As it tripped and fell, Billy helped it up with an exclamation of wonder on how advanced the technology was.
"Hello children," a familiar voice called behind them.
The teens whirled around, shocked to see their father there.
"Pip, what is going on?" Kim asked, using the Eltarian version of dad.
Zordon sighed as he explained about the escape of his sister Rita and her plan to destroy the world.
"What does that have to do with us?" Trini asked.
Zordon sighed, "I need you to become an elite fighting force called power rangers."
Zack stared in disbelief, their dad wanted him to be a superhero, to fight a supervillian. What was he thinking? He didn't have super powers like Billy and Kim. He wasn't even fourteen yet. He wasn't even in high school yet.
"It's been real, but I've got to bounce."
Jason watched as his siblings turned to leave, he understood that their dad was asking a lot, but what about all the things Zordon had done for them. He had taken them in when they had nowhere else to go. Rescued them when they were kidnapped, and gave them a loving home. Wasn't this a good way to pay him back?
"Yo, Jas, you coming?" Zack called out.
Jason glanced at their father one last time, maybe he could talk his siblings into helping?
