POWER RANGERS NET FORCE

Chapter 1: Cyber Link Download

"The city of Domino Square is one of the most advanced cities in this day and age. Almost everything is automated from simple meals to video-phones, and everyone is happy. Everyone except Gigamax that is. He's an overseer program designed to monitor all functions within an advanced computer software company. He soon grew too powerful and decided that mankind was too weak if they needed him to run everything. A very bright young scientist managed to lock him inside an unbreakable firewall with Super-Limiters to reduce him to only a tenth of Gigamax's former self."

"Oh man, I'm never gonna get a good mark on the test at this rate," Robert moaned in front of his laptop. He's going into Domino Tech in a few days, but first he has to pass the entrance exams and this history file made no sense. He'd been studying for a month now, but he never felt like he could do it. He agonized over formulas and equations and practically fried his brain.

"Of course you won't pass if you don't get any sleep," his father told him from the doorway. "Good luck tomorrow."

The next day, Robert woke up early so he could get ready for the entrance exams. A good, strong breakfast was waiting for him downstairs. Afterwards, he felt he could conquer anything, even this so-called Gigamax, so he got in his car and drove to the university. The main entrance was beautiful, pure marble and quartz, with microchips embedded in the pillars. He almost lost focus and made his way to the Testing Hall, took a seat and waited. An hour had passed by and only four more students showed up, all of them looked like shoo-ins for the test. Two boys chose to sit near him and two girls sat together four rows in front. A few more minutes and finally the Professor arrived.

"Good morning, students," she said in a proud tone, "I'm Professor Mary Logan and I'll be proctoring this exam. You have two hours to complete it and can start anytime." As soon as she finished, the desks the students were in lit up and displayed the test questions. This puzzled Robert a bit, so he raised his hand and asked, "We're doing this electronically?" The other students laughed. "Yes," Professor Logan answered, "just use the stylus to write your answers like any other test."

An hour had passed and Robert was done with three sections with two more to go, while everyone else was half done with the last section. All the while, Professor Logan was tinkering with something on the front desk; some sort of wrist-worn device was Robert's conclusion. Suddenly, alarms started blaring and a huge TV opened up at the front of the room. Static was on the screen for a few seconds, until something ugly took its place with a maniacal laugh. "I am Gigamax!" the image proclaimed, "And I've come back to exact my revenge on the human race, starting with Mary Logan, the one who sealed me away!" Gigamax disappeared and the screen displayed the words 'VIRUS ALERT'. The students ran down to Ms. Logan, who was working furiously on her computer to fight the viruses. "There are too many!" she shouted.

"What's going on?" one of the girls asked.

"A huge number of viruses showed up in the Main Frame System and the Counter Program isn't responding."

"There has to be something we can do," one of the boys said.

"There is." Ms. Logan held out her device to each of them, "Strap them on your left wrist." The students did so. "These Wi-Fi Morphers can send your bodies into the Cyber World and give you incredible abilities. In other words, I'm making the five of you Power Rangers."

"No way," Robert said with a grin on his face. "I've always wanted to be a Ranger."

"Well, this is your chance. Just touch the center and shout 'Cyber-Link Download' and you'll instantly be pulled into the network."

The team of students were a little skeptical at first, but decided to trust Ms. Logan. "Ready?" Robert asked. "Ready!" the others said.

"CYBER-LINK DOWNLOAD!"

The Morphers lit up and pulled the team into Ms. Logan's desk computer and they soon found themselves in awesome costumes: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Pink. The suits were mostly the chosen colors, but with black lines down the sides, white trim around the knees and elbows, while the helmets were purely the chosen colors with black visors and white mouth covers. The team was in awe at the transformation, except for Robert. He was cheering. However, it didn't last long because they were soon swarmed by the viruses, chanting "DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!" over and over. "What do we do?" the Yellow Ranger cried out.

"We fight!" Robert shouted, who was the Red Ranger, and dove into the fray. The others soon followed and they noticed their strength and speed had jumped up to super-human. "Use your weapons!" Ms. Logan shouted. "I'll explain later!"

"Cyber-Sword!" Robert shouted and a red blade appeared in his hands.

"Cyber-Cannon!" Blue Ranger shouted and a large shot-gun materialized.

"Cyber-Fists!" Green Ranger shouted and his fists tripled in size.

"Cyber-Pulse!" Yellow Ranger shouted and a small satellite dish appeared.

"Cyber-Lance!" Pink Ranger shouted and a staff materialized.

The viruses didn't stand a chance and were quickly destroyed. The students soon found themselves back in the real world with Ms. Logan. "Excellent job, everyone!" she congratulated, "and since you'll be working together, you better get to know each other." The five students remained in the room and introduced themselves to each other. Blue Ranger is Yosef, Green Ranger is Justin, Yellow Ranger is Juliet, and Pink Ranger is Roxanne. "Well," Ms. Logan began again, "now that you all know each other, I'd like to welcome you to Domino Tech University. You all have my personal recommendations with the Dean. Oh, you can't tell anyone about this." Everyone nodded and knew things would never be the same again.

Next Time on Power Rangers Net Savers:

Tensions mount when Robert starts doing things his own way, and when the Virus Monsters gain the ability to jump into the Real World, how can they be stopped?
