The Rangers Strike
Prologue
A long time ago peace was reached to the Power Rangers of S.P.D. Thanks to the Power Rangers, Emperor Gruumm was finally defeated. The B- Squad Rangers were promoted to A- Squad. Jack Landors retired from S.P.D. Sky Tate took over as the red ranger. Before long everything was back to normal.
I, Dr. Willows, was a lead creator in the Power Ranger Morpher. Along with Dr. Mancs we created zords for the members to. Though I was only 12, I became second in command under Commander Cruger. He controlled the Shadow Ranger and I was the Silver Ranger.
I constructed a camp known as the Ninja Camp. It was a secret camp that trained the skills needed to become present day Power Rangers. Unfortunately, only the Power Rangers can choose their successor. Normally the power would be passed on to their children. In Commander Cruger's case, that did not happen. Cruger passed on before he relinquished the Shadow Ranger powers, being perhaps lost forever. That is when everything changed.
At the ceremony, I was not named the successor of Cruger. Delgado Reed was named Commander. Shortly after I was fired and everything at S.P.D. was changed. It became hushed up and full of secrecy and corruption. I managed to save my life's work and my Rangers. They both were sent to the secret Ninja Camp. They were safe,
until now.
Tony
Dr. Mancs: Dr. Willows it has been forever since your last contact.
Dr. Willows: Um, I'm not this so called Willows.
Dr. Mancs: Then who is this?
Dr. Willows: I'm Anthony Willows-Banks the 3rd.
Dr. Mancs: … You have Willows in your name. What…
Dr. Willows: I don't understand.
Dr. Mancs: Who are your parents?
Dr. Willows: Sara Willows.
Dr. Mancs: Where are you Anthony?
Dr. Willows: My name is Tony and at my grandma's house. I have a project to do and I used her laptop.
Dr. Mancs: Who is your Grandmother?
Dr. Willows: Karissa Willows. Why?
Dr. Mancs: The Karissa Willows? The one who once headed the national S.P.D?
Dr. Willows: Um… My Grandma owns a flower shop and what's this S.P.D?
Dr. Mancs: S.P.D. is Specialized Police Department using Power Rangers.
Dr. Willows: You mean P.R.G.U.O.
Dr. Mancs: What does that mean?
Dr. Willows: Power Rangers of the Galactic Universe Order.
Dr. Mancs: Who is the head of that order?
Dr. Willows: I don't know it's all hush-hush over there.
Dr. Mancs: Do you think you could get me into the Secret Service mainframe server so I can hack the firewall of the Computer Program to take over this P.R.G.U.O?
Dr. Willows: I don't even know how to change my name to Tony on here.
Dr. Mancs: Click the text box backspace the name and put in your desired name.
Tony: All right cool.
Dr. Mancs: I would like to talk to your grandmother.
Tony: I don't know, if she didn't contact you for over 50 years, what makes you think she will now?
Dr. Mancs: Please try.
Dr. Willows: Yes, Dr. Mancs.
Dr. Mancs: It has been a very long time.
Dr. Willows: I'm sorry I haven't contacted you in a long time but much has changed.
Dr. Mancs: What is with this new order that young Tony has told me about.
Dr. Willows: It's dirty.
Dr. Mancs: Why aren't you head anymore?
Dr. Willows: Cruger died but instead of instating me they put Delgado Reed, who then fired me. That's when everything changed. Then while fighting for my Department, I met Anthony Michael Banks the 1st. We were in love and had one child, Sara Michele Willows. Sara had one child that you met known as Tony. After Tony was born, James, her husband, cheated. Tony didn't want to be known after him so he changed his name to Willows as his mother's maiden name and Banks after my husband. He's named Tony after his grandfather. My husband died years ago in an "accident".
Dr. Mancs: Tragic just tragic. What happened to your Rangers?
Dr. Willows: I sent them to Ninja School and told them never to leave because if they would be found, they would be killed.
Dr. Mancs: They never found the camp?
Dr. Willows: No and I'd like to keep it that way. Give me a moment.
Contact Sector 55
Dr. Willows: Emily do you copy?
Ninja School: Who is this?
Dr. Willows: Doesn't my name say it all.
Ninja School: You have been gone for over 50 years do you honestly think we believe who you say you are.
Dr. Willows: I have been hiding for over 50 years! Give me a break I've spent these 50 years keeping the school hidden from the new force that is destroying the old regime!
Ninja School: Sorry Karissa, welcome back.
Dr. Willows: I'm tracked so I can't leave to come save you. But I have a grandson that I think can help you.
Ninja School: You know the requirements and ID we are going to need.
Dr. Willows: His name is Anthony Michael Willows-Banks the 3rd. He goes by Tony but his code name will be James Whitman. He will be enrolling as a new student to learn the ways of the ninja and power ranger. He must be trained well. He will bring the new world order to savage whatever is left of sanity to restore order to the police force.
Tony
"Tony, good luck my grandchild. Make me proud." Those were the last words my grandma said to me before I was shipped off to this secret Ninja Camp. Great I thought. Come to find out that my grandma isn't the sweet old flower shop owner on the square. She is a crime fighting war hero of S.P.D. She was also making me go to a camp and learn to fight like a power ranger. Man, what have I gotten myself into this time…?
"James, we have been expecting you."
I looked over and my mouth dropped. A girl around 16 or 17 with dark brown hair was staring right at me. Her blue eyes were piercing. I felt like she could mentally break me in half. She looked as if she has seen the worst of the worst of the world, and I loved everything about it.
"Uhhh… right… James Whitman, that's me."
"There is no way you are the special one."
"What do you mean?" I asked kind of hurt hearing this from my dream girl.
"Well first of all, you can't even remember your name. Second, you don't look like you could take on a bug much less than an army. Third, you don't even seem like your fit enough to mop the mess hall floors."
She was right. Mom always taught me to tell the truth and trust me; I don't look like a James. I look like a Tony, and I act like a Tony. So remembering my name would be tough. I could kill a bug! Then when she said I wasn't in good enough shape to mop a stinking floor, just made me mad.
"I don't know who you think you are but stop sellin' me short lady!"
"Don't you dare say that to me! I am Emily Ahrens, leader of the S.P.D. Power Rangers! I am under the direction of Karissa Willows AKA Dr. Willows! Give me that tone again boy and I promise you, I will make your life at camp the hardest life imaginable!"
With that, she stormed off in a cold-hearted fury. Just great, I managed to piss off the leader of the Ninja Camp. It's already managed to start off to a bad start. Why didn't I just research my report in one of grandma's ancient reading textbooks?! What have I gotten myself into?
Emily
If I wasn't so mad at the new kid I probably could've liked that kid, thought Emily to herself. Being at camp and training newbies at the age of five is not what I would consider fun. Mom being the original Emily Ahrens and headmaster at camp was a lot tougher than what people thought. You must be excellent and better than the rest was Mom's motto. She was always so flawless; it makes me sick. For once, why couldn't she be proud of my skills? I try harder than anyone else at this camp. Why can't I be normal?
Tony
"Sup' newbie" said a kid with a face that looked like he was up to something.
"Not much. What up with you."
"Not to much either newbie. I'm Christopher Mackey. You can call me Chris. My father is one of the elder's here at camp. What's your name newb?"
"James Whitman. My grandma has some blood run through this camp."
"Who is your grandma pup?"
"Karissa Whitman."
"Eh, never heard of her. If you were to say Willows then you would have been the most popular guy at camp."
"Why you say that Chris?"
"Cuz' supposedly she founded this camp and sent the elders here to keep them from getting found and killed by the corrupted power rangers today. It's what I'm told anyway. I'm more of a live life to the fullest so I don't try to think about it to much."
"How many elders are there?"
"Seven if you count Dr. Willows, but no one has heard word of her in like over 50 years. A lot of the elders assume she is dead. Some, like Emily for instance still believes she is alive. The seventh was Captain Cruger but he died of old age."
"Wait, you mean that girl that looked like she was in her late teens is like in her 50s?!"
"Wow, wow, wow, man! You probably talked to her daughter who is also named Emily. Did she go spewing off bout how she the red ranger and stuff?"
"Yeah… freaked me out a little but hey, guys gotta do what a guys gotta do."
"I agree all the way J. Whit. Hey man, once you get settled in here at camp, join me at the mess hall. I'd love it if you were to meet the rest of the elder's kids. Trust me, life will be hard at first but it will get easier."
With that last comment, Chris waved and walked away toward a tent shaped building, and disappeared behind the doors.
Tony
Again I was alone in an unfamiliar place. What Chris said about my grandma scared me. Who would've thought that my sweet grandmother was an actual crime fighting killing machine?
I was wandering around the camp when I found a path leading to giant sized tents. There were six in all and all-different colors. There were red, green, blue, yellow, pink, and very old looking silver and black tents in the back. Then off behind the huge tents were little tents of the same colors behind them. The silver and black tents were next to each other while the rest formed an arch around them.
I started to head toward them when a loud bell started ringing from the tent shaped building Chris went into. I turned back to the tents and saw people getting out and walking toward the building. I decided I probably should head that way. I opened the doors and disappeared inside.
