Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers or any of the characters in here except for Tiffany and David. The Crimson Phoenix Ranger was my idea while the Silver Dragon Ranger was inspired by one of my friends.

Special thanks: FairyGal11 for the Silver Dragon idea and KerubenSaito for offering me feedback on preliminary drafts. Thanks guys!

Notes: Words in italics are the characters' thoughts or speech through telepathy. This was my attempt at making a grittier Power Rangers story. So there will be blood & death. Also, the story's not finished. I'm still writing so keep checking back for updates!

I hope you readers enjoy!

A Birthday From Hell

Chapter 1:

Angel Grove High School - Earth, 2/29/2012; 3:28 PM

School can't end fast enough… Staring up at the clock, Tiffany wondered when she could get the hell out of this place. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… BRRRIIINNNNNNG! Tiffany darted out of her seat and left the classroom.

Dressed in a black crop top and dark blue lowrise jeans, Tiffany is one of the school's most attractive and popular girls. Tiffany is Caucasian with long brunette hair and is quite tall. She stands at a solid 5 ft 7 in. However, she prefers to lead a quiet life and only hangs out with a small group of "regulars", who are people who manage to avoid being labeled in high school. Tiffany is kind and gentle to everyone, which increases her popularity. Although she despises school, Tiffany is the brightest girl in school with the highest grades. She also takes up gymnastics and martial arts for her extracurricular activities.

As she headed to her locker, she noticed a guy watching her from across the hall. She shrugged him off and opened her locker to pack up her books. The guy approached her and grabbed her around the waist.

?: Happy Birthday Tiffany

Tiffany: David, you need to stop sneaking up on me like this.

David: Geez, can't a guy just have a little fun?

Tiffany: David, we've been dating for a while. It gets a little old. So please just stop. But… thanks for the birthday wish.

David and Tiffany have been together for about 2 years. Many of the students wonder why. David is one of the "regulars" of the school. He's a Chinese male who isn't particularly handsome. His grades are average and he isn't very coordinated. However, David is still a black belt in karate and a master in kendo and fencing. Tiffany and David fell in love on first sight after bumping into each other in the chemistry lab and have been together since.

David: Fine, come on baby. We have to celebrate your 16th birthday just right.

Tiffany: You know I'm a leaper, right? This is technically my 4th birthday. Besides, you know I'm not a big fan of parties. Let's just spend the day together. You and me, what do you say?

David: Alright have it your way, but I still want to make your special day a fun one. Trust me, this will be a day you and I will never forget.

As the two left Angel Grove High and set out for David's house to celebrate Tiffany's 16th birthday, neither can hope to predict that David's words would come true.

Elsewhere, a giant flash of light appears in space.
