Author's notes: Yep, I have another series in mind. This one
is original though--It kinda combines all season of Power Rangers
together (as in powers, personalities, and other ideas). And I'm
into the whole spy agency deal, so this idea was very appealing
to me. Rick, you have totally inspired me to go into original PR
series. The title is kinda sucky, so I have to think about
another title for this group of Power Rangers. For now, this'll
stick.
This is a very short part. Just a slight introduction into the
series--no rangers yet. They'll appear in episode one.
Power Rangers: Agency of Elements
Introduction

*Ten Years Ago*
A tall man squinted his eyes at the crusted, old map. "I think we're lost," he told his partner, a man who was a bit shorter than he was. He looked up at his partner and said, "We've been circling this damn tomb for nearly thirty minutes, and we still haven't found anything that resembles this." He pointed to a weird shape enclosed slightly by a circle.
The other man glanced at the map and then looked around. "We can't leave this place until we find it," he said, his voice tense. "Keep looking."
The tall man felt frustration build inside of him. "Damnit, Jon, we've around this whole tomb! There is nothing here! Maybe the brainyacks mistakened where they were." He looked around the room they were in. "Shall we keep playing around? Hell, why don't we just push every block on the wall--" he pounded his fist on every block of tile, "--and maybe we'll hit the secret enterance?" he said sarcastically. Just then, he hit a block and the whole tomb shook.
"Whoa," the tall man stumbled back and fell. "What's going on?"
"You found something," Jon reported. He pulled the tall man to his feet. "Look, over there!" he pointed to where some of the blocks on the wall miraculously joined together and formed a wall. A bright light shone from it, almost blinding them. Jon covered his eyes as the light brightened. Suddenly, it disappeared. When it did, Jon looked towards the door. He frowned and said, "Hey, that wasn't there before."
There was a small block of writing on the wall, right next to the door. He and the other man approached it. "Understand what it says?" Jon asked. The other man shook his head. "Not a word," he replied. He pulled out his camera and took a snapshot of it. "Maybe the nerds back at the agency will."
Jon nodded and put his hand on the door. He hesitated and then pushed on it. The door appeared to be unmovable. "Help me with this, Craig, will ya? It won't budge."
Craig put both his hands on the solid door. "Okay, ready? Push!" Both men pushed the door at the same time. They grunted as the door budged just a little bit. "Keep going!" Jon yelled. "We've almost got the door open!"
"I am!" Craig yelled back, pushing against the door with all his might. Then miraculously, the door pushed completely open. Jon and Craig stepped back, awed by this unseen force that had opened the door. Craig shook his head as the door stopped moving. "Man, the weird stuff that the Agency has got us doing," he muttered as he and Jon carefully walked through the doorway.
Jon glanced at his partner at the corner of his eye. "You mean you don't believe in this stuff?" he asked.
"You do?"
Jon frowned briefly. "It sounds interesting. . .it would be pretty awesome if it was true, but I just worry about the consequences we're dealing with."
"If what we're getting is something legit. I mean, this could be some hoax."
"Yeah, if. . ." Jon's voice trailed off when he spotted a small chest just a few feet ahead of him, glowing with the same eerie light that engulfed the opening of the doorway they had just entered. Craig noticed Jon's behavior and turned to look at the object. Then he watched as Jon moved forward to touch the chest.
"Do you think it's safe?" Craig asked. Jon laughed briefly. "Now who's turned a believer," he muttered, still walking forward. Craig watched the the light brightened as Jon approached it. "At least there was nothing in the scrolls that said it was dangerous," Craig called out. Jon nodded distractedly and started squinting as the light got brighter and brighter. Somehow, he had managed to reach the small chest, and as soon as he touched it, a force knocked him off his feet and he fell to the dirt covered ground.
"Damnit," Jon cursed. Now I'll have to try again, he thought irritably. He just wanted to get this mission over with as soon as he could. He reached into his pocket to pull out a device, but stopped shortly when the chest started to shake. "What the--"
The whole room started to shake. "Let's get out of here!" Craig yelled, looking around. Rocks started falling and flying all over the place. It felt like the whole tomb was shaking.
"Not without the chest!" Jon yelled, running towards the chest. He was stopped in his tracks when the chest suddenly opened and out shot two beams of light, each away from the chest and away from each other. Jon covered his face with his arm when this happened. Then realizing that the chest had stopped moving and the room still was, even more violently than before, he ran forward and grabbed the chest. He quickly scanned it's contents--there were five stones with weird markings on them in the colors of red, blue, green, yellow, and white, and another scroll and booklet.
"Jon, now!"
Jon spun around, holding onto the chest tightly. He ran up to Craig, who had a small cylinder in his hand. "I'm going to blast our way out of here as soon as we reach the stairwell," he said. "Get ready." Jon nodded and the two ran out of the room and up the stairway leading from the underground tomb to the groundlevel.
Author's notes: Told you this was short. It wasn't all that adventure packed, but it'll explain a lot about the series as it moves along. Please R&R to let me know if I should continue.
