Ben Mason, a 16 year old brown haired teen wakes up in to him unfamiliar woods. Looking around he sees charred ground and the lifeless bodies of a few Skitters around him. He is now standing in the middle of some woods.

"Where the hell am I? The last thing I remember is being a few miles away from camp in the abandoned city at the Skitter rebellion meeting where they were talking about the overlords using an experimental bomb." Ben says to himself while checking the surrounding Skitters for life signs but everyone of them is dead. Ben then checks out the surrounding area seeing no familiar sign but noticing that the nature is not damaged by the alien invasion on this part of land. Soon though he can see streets running near the edge of the woods filled to the brim with traffic and he is stunned wondering "What the hell? How can a big place like this not even be the slightest bit damaged and unaware of what's going on?" Ben decides to hide himself for now and makes a makeshift grave for the Skitters he found near him to hide them from sight and pay his respect for his fallen comrades.

After one and a half day of laying low and listening in on random joggers running through the woods he learned that they really got no idea about the Aliens and that he's still in America based on their language and pronunciation. Having enough of staying on the passive side he decides to approach some people walking by his hiding spot. These people turn out to be two girls, Gia a blonde and Emma a brunette seemingly of Asian decend.

"Hey you there, I'm sorry can you help me out? I must have gotten lost hiking." Ben says approaching them securing his hoodie over his spikes to hide them from sight.

"Sure what do you need?" Emma asks looking at the boy approaching them.

"Well I'd like to know where exactly I am and what's been going on in the world, I have been hiking for quite a while, is there a library or something nearby?" Ben asks them.

"Well there is a library in town but you need a library card to get in, you could just ask us but I guess you should ask Mr. Burley, he's our science teacher and quite knowledgeable, I'm sure he'll be able to help you out. He should still be at school in his office for a few hours." Gia tells him taking in his dirtied clothes and thinking "man he wasn't joking about having been hiking for a long time."

"Could you tell me how I can get there?" Ben requests.

"Sure, look here is where we are and this is the best route to get to school." Emma tells him taking out a map and showing him the route. Ben memorizes the route and gets ready to leave.
"Cool, thanks I owe you two one. Well better get there soon so I don't miss this Mr. Burley." Ben says doing his best to smile despite his inner conflict at being stuck in a unfamiliar environment "Well at least it isn't hostile yet and there are some cute girls here." He thinks to himself and walks away headed to the school.

"Weird guy." Gia says after he left.

"Yeah, but cute and who knows maybe we'll cross paths again. Anyway come on I gotta show you this plant." Emma replies dragging her best friend along further into the woods.

"Yeah yeah I'm coming." Gia replies not happy about being bossed around to go see a plant.

|school|

After about half an hour of walking around and making his way to the school Ben arrives at a sign saying: Harwood County High School.

"Well I guess I made it." Ben says to himself readjusting his hoodie to check if he still has his spikes hidden. Afterwards Ben enters the school and walks around the building checking a building plan hanging on a wall and looking for Mr. Burkleys office. After a few minutes he finds it on the map and makes his way to the office, knocking on the door.

"Mr. Burley?" Ben asks knocking on the door.

"Yes come in." he hears a voice saying from inside and opens the door seeing a thin older man with glasses.

"Hi, My name is Ben and I arrived at this town earlier today and was wondering if you could help me find some information? I was hiking and must have gotten lost. Some girls pointed me to you saying you're quite knowledgeable and would be able to help me out." Ben informs the teacher.

"Sure, what do you want to know? And is there somebody I should call or inform about you being here?" Mr. Burkley asks trying to help.

"Well I don't think you'd reach anyone. I want to know what's going on in the world and where exactly I am." Ben tells him.

"OK, I can help you with that." Mr. Burkley answers and for the next hour he tells Ben all about what's going on around the globe at the moment and shows him multiple maps telling him where he is.

"Well this is a problem, am I in a parallel dimension or something? I mean the world is the same but there are no aliens and a lot of stuff is different too." Ben says to himself not noticing Mr. Burkley listening in on him.

"What do you mean different dimension? Do I need to get some psychiatric help for you?" Mr. Barkley asks concerned.

"No. I mean what I said." Ben tells him defensively.

"Well let's suppose I believe you because as you probably are able to make out by looking around my office I believe in myths and aliens and such things, can you prove that you're from a different dimension and not just a confused teen?" Mr Burkley challenges.

"Is this proof enough for you?" Ben asks him, pulling down his hoodie revealing his Spikes."

"Oh my what are those?" Mr. Burkley asks shocked.

"These are alien Spikes, in my dimension Aliens invaded all over the earth and used harnesses to control children to make their bidding till the remaining human resistance found a way to remove the harness without killing the kids. I am one of the few kids where the Spikes didn't go away but remained and improve my physical condition but also make me controllable by the Aliens, though I guess I don't have to worry about that anymore." Ben explains.

"So how did you get here?" Mr. Burkley asks him.

"I don't know I was at a resistance meeting with some Aliens and the overlords ruling over the aliens dropped an experimental bomb on us as it seems and the next thing I know I wake up in the forest close by 2 days ago." Ben answers.

"Well we have to keep all this hidden I don't think people would believe you or understand. You need a cover and if you want I can help you with that and adjusting to life in this dimension." Mr. Burkley offers.

"Yeah thanks, I guess I don't have much of a choice anyway." Ben replies.

"Ok, I'll say you are a relative of mine and will be living with me while attending this school and we are gonna have to fake some identification and a background story for you." Mr. Burkley says.

"Makes sense and I can't thank you enough for helping me out, without you I don't think I'd be able to survive here." Ben replies hugging the older man.

"It's my pleasure, it's every sci-fi enthusiasts dream afterall to get to meet someone from a different universe or in your case dimension and what kind of man would I be if I were to abandon you when you are in need of help." Mr. Burkley says.

So over the next three month Ben learned from Burkley a lot about the dimension he is in and has grown to see the man as something like a friendly uncle and filled him in about his live before he arrived in this dimension. He attends school and has decent to good grades. He works at the frozen yogurt shop: Ernie's BrainFreeze part time and generally keeps his distance from the other kids at school, not used to trusting anybody besides himself and wary of everyone and their possible agendas. He often sees the two girls who pointed him to the teacher since they share some classes together and asked them to keep quiet about the fact that he in fact isn't Mr. Burkleys nephew. Up till now they complied and left him alone much to his delight since them asking questions could lead to more people finding out about his spikes and his real story.

AN: Please tell me what you think and maybe if you have a better idea for how to introduce Ben to the Power Rangers Megaforce universe.
