Power Rangers Animal Force "In Like A Lion" Part 1

It was dark. Nothing could be seen. No one was anywhere within one hundred miles. When even the crickets fell silent it happened. A large meteor hurdled to the ground. It slammed through it. Smoke filled the air. The ground caught fire. The fire spread to the trees. A figure walked out of the smoke and the fire ceased. The man was large, and bulky. Large red wings outstretched from his back. His hair was long, and starch black. His arms were on fire from wrist to shoulder.

He looked from left to right slowly. "Vicror!" he calls. Another figure emerges from the meteor. He looks like a mutated green frog.

"Yes, Emperor Scorchius?" asks Vicror.

"Where are we?"

"I-I don't know sir."

"Inform Astral to take a look around."

"Yes sir," Vicror turns to go back but Scorchius stops him with his hand.

"Make sure she stays unseen." Vicror returns into the meteor. Scorchius lets out a maniacal laugh.

"Kirzan," called his father over the intercom, "I need you in my office. Now!" Kirzan's eyes looked up. Kirzan turns around and begins to walk down the hall. He reaches the office and sits down.

"What's up?" Kirzan asks.

"Do you remember learning about Emperor Scorchius, in school?" asks the man.

"Uh… I guess," says Kirzan.

"Well, tell me what you know."

"Ok," begins Kirzan, "He was a, uh, Anitro. I think Phoenix. He attacked Endenoi. He failed. The Power Rangers destroyed him. That was really all there is."

"Yes," says Kirzan's father, "That is what they teach in schools. Now I am going to tell you the real story."

"What do you mean?"

"The Rangers did defeat Scorchius, but, they did not destroy him. They locked him and his followers inside a Meectro."

"Meectro?"

"They were used for space transportation. They disguised themselves as meteors. The rangers disabled the controls, so they couldn't return. They then sent them into space."

"What does this have to do with anything?"

"S.P.D. has picked up sensors of the Meectro. It is believed that it landed on Earth," The man begins pacing back and forth, "If that is where they are, they will most definitely take over the planet."

"I am still lost. Can't Earth just fight back?"

"Not against his Mythicians."

"We don't trade with Earth, we don't even associate with them, so why do we care."

"If they conquer Earth, they can use the technology to return here. We fought them, but we can't fight him, and the humans."

"So we have to send rangers over to earth to protect them."

"Not exactly. You see, the rangers would be best if they knew the culture and land. Right?"

"Yeah,"

"We have been keeping an eye on four specific humans. We are going to send one person to gather them. Those five will be the new rangers."

"So four inexperienced humans are going to become high-tech S.P.D. Rangers."

"No, four inexperienced humans are going to become high-tech Animal Rangers."

"What? We haven't even tested those morphers. It could kill them."

"What do we care? We don't even associate with Earth."

"Who is going?"

"We decided to send our best officer for the job."

"Which is?"

"You."

"Maria José Nieves de Moreno," calls her father, "¿Dónde crees que vas? ¡Vuelve aquí ahora!" The man calls after his daughter. The girl continues stomping away with her arms crossed. He storms after her. When he catches up to her she turns and slams her back against the wall.

"¿Qué es lo que quieres?" she asks.

"Usted no sabe su manera alrededor de este lugar. Tienes que quedarte con tu madre y yo" He says.

"No me gusta estar aquí. Quiero volver a Chile." She says.

"Ya te lo dije, tengo que trabajar aquí en los Estados Unidos."

"¡No es justo! Extraño a mis amigos."

Switching over to the English Language the man says, "Just calm down. Come back over to the rest of the family and we can go to our new home."

"Can I use the bathroom first?"

"Sí" He walks back to the rest of his family, and she walks into the bathroom. She stops by a mirror and begins messing with her hair. A figure in a black cloak appears behind her. She freezes.

"What do you want?" She asks.

"I need a word with you," The figure says in an obvious male voice.

"I have to get back to my family, I am not from here."

"I know. I know everything about you." He closes his hand over her mouth and grabs her up. She tries to break free but his grip is too strong.

Maria wakes up inside a strange room. In the dim light she can make out three other passed out figures. She begins shaking them. "Wake up. Where are we?" The others wake up.

"I don't know," says one of them.

"The last thing I can remember is being picked up by some guy in a robe," says another.

"Me too," says the last one.

A voice comes over an intercom, "Maria Moreno, Jack Shepard, Jenelle Bennet, and Ryan Gladius, I have called you all here for a very important cause."

"Show yourself," Ryan yells. A door opens and a figure walks in.

"Who are you?" asks Jenelle.

"I am Kirzan," he says, "Of Planet Edenoi. Your Planet is under attack and I have come to help."

"So your saying your an alien," says Jack, "Sorry to burst your bubble but I turned ten, seven years ago."

"Just listen," he says, "An Anitro, named Scorchius attacked my planet years ago. He was thrown off my planet and landed here. He is going to be hard to defeat, but if I don't defeat him he will conquer this planet then return to Edenoi and conquer mine."

"Okay," says Maria, "It makes a little sence, but an Anitro. What is that?"

"An Anitro is a common creature on Edenoi. It is a crossbread of an animal and human. Scorchius is a Phoenix," he says.

"Okay so why are you telling us? We can't help you." Says Jenelle.

"You all hold strength that you may not know about," begins Kirzan, "I was sent with five morphers. The Ani-morphs. They will give you the power of animals. I need your help with this."

"I can't I am an adopted kid," says Jenelle.

"Please? Just one fight. I can handle it from their." Says Kirzan.

"This is a lot to ask," says Jack, "But it sounds pretty awesome. I'm in. But only one fight."

"Me too," says Ryan.

"Why not?" says Jenelle.

"I don't even know my way around. This is my first day in this country."

"Come on. This is my first day on this planet." Kirzan says.

"Fine," says Maria.

"Thank you all," says Kirzan. The all let out a smile but it only lasts until the Earthquake hits.
