I do not own Power Rangers or Law and Order SVU. SVU belongs to Dick Wolf, and I believe PR once again belongs to Saban. I do own my original characters. Please be patient as the story unfolds, as not everything is explained right away. This story may or may not be good, as I am coming up with it as I type.
As Lilly glanced at the front seat of the semi-truck, she wondered how so little time could have passed, and yet so much change so quickly. 2 days ago, she and her four friends, Emma, Chris, Spencer, and Kyle were nobodies, delinquents with no real future to speak of. Then next thing any of them know, they are given the newly revitalized Zeo Ranger Powers, and sent from Houstan Texas to New York to investigate possible monster activity. Sicorax, she reminded herself. The enemies were called Sicorax and, as best as they could tell from the describtion, seemed to be some sort of Machine/Monster hybrid, and were very powerful. Glancing at the Zeo Morpher on her wrist, she looked at the others. Spencer also known as the Zeo Ranger 3, drove silently, drinking his coffee. Next to him in the passengers seat was Zeo Ranger 2, Emma. She and Lilly were best friends, and the Pink Ranger knew that the main reason that the yellow ranger was up there was because Emma had a crush on Spencer, but was nervous about telling him. Across from Lilly was Zeo ranger 4, Chris the Green Ranger, fast asleep having just been relieved of the driving just under an hour ago. And towards the back of the trailer was their leader, Zeo Ranger 5, Kyle. She wasn't sure what to make of the Red Ranger, as she didn't know him all that well, compared to the others.
Taking note of the folder in his hands, which he was reading intensly, she decided to attempt conversation. "Whats so intreasting in that thing you haven't put it down in three hours?" Kyle stood up from the floor and carefully made his way over to her, handing her the folder. "The folders contain details about our ranger powers, zords, weapons, known enemy intel and anything that Mr. S and Dr. O thought would be useful. Since my turn to drive isn't until we hit the Virginia border I thought I'd use the time to try and figure out just how the hell they expect us to save the world."
Sighing, Lilly looked through the file. Most of the stuff inside was broken down and detailed in ways that were easy to understand, but she knew what he meant. They weren't weak, each of the 5 of them could hold their own in a fight pretty good, but that didn't mean they could fight monsters from space save the world. As she looked over the sections about her zords, Spencer spoke up from the front. "Hey guys, theres a restraunt up ahead, should we stop and grab some food?" Lilly looked at Kyle, as the red Zeo Ranger walked up front as looked out the windshield. "We might as well." Lilly was sure she picked up a slight accent in his voice, but she wasn't sure what kind, maybe Italian. "We may not have a chance to later. We'll grab some ready to eat stuff when we leave, so we don't have to stop later. I'll wake up Chris." Lilly was a little surprised suggestion of grabbing stuff for the road, but after thinking about it she had to admit it made sense. Pulling on her boots she stretched her legs slightly as they pulled into the parking lot.
Luckily the trip was uneventful. No attacks on the way, and everyone was able to examine the folder about their powers. Emma was currently reading through it as kyle pulled the big rig into the warehouse that had been set up for them. "ok," Kyle's voice drifted back after he parked."First thing I want is to do is contact O and S, tell them we're here. While I do that, why don't two of you take a look around, make sure we still have everything, and the other two try to find our sleeping quarters. Once we find them, we'll unload. Start with your clothes bag and something small. Once you pick a room, make sure you change into your uniforms, we might not have a chance to later." The group looked at each other, then at the Red Ranger, and started to clap. "Well well, someone took to this leader thing rather quickly." Emma teased. Kyle rolled his eyes and tossed his hat at her. Opening the door the Rangers got off the truck, splitting up. Emma and Lilly would look for their rooms, while Spencer and Chris made sure they didn't lose anything in transit. After finding their rooms and changing into the uniforms they were given, the group started looking around their new base of operations.
It was quite a large building, containing an exersice room with a large collection of weight machines and a space for open training, a kitchen and dining area stocked with pots and pans but nothing in the way of food, a garage, and some empty rooms they could use at their leisure. Sitting down at the table, the 5 quickly decided on what to do. Having been given some money by Mr. S and Dr. O, which they stressed was only for their ranger duties, they decided to go to the nearest store and buy some food and get some info about the area. As they walked down the street, having all agreed that the large black semi-truck that got them to New York was unnessecary for a shopping trip, they all made sure to take note of the local area, recognizable features, landmarks, shops, ect. Just under a block from the store, Chris suddenly spoke up.
"I may not have much insight of dating, but does anyone else think that lady does not want to go with those men?" The rest of the group quickly turned, seeing what Chris was talking about. Nearly a dozen men were dragging a woman into an alley. She was kicking and fighting, but they were overpowering her, finding her actions amusing. They didn't need to be mind readers to guess what was on their mind. Running over, Kyle stopped them just before the entered the alley. "Remember, these freaks may be scum, but their human. No morphing. We gotta take them as is." Nodding, the group made their way quietly down the alley, sneaking into the building where they saw them go.
Detective Olivia Benson walked to the ambulance alongside her partner, Elliot Stabler. "What happened? We passed a number of busses on our way here." The detective asked a patrolman. "Victim's name is Victoria Andrews, 27 years old. Lady across the street saw about a dozen "fine gentlemen" escorting her down this alley, and into an abandoned building for some unrequested group time." Stabler glanced at a group of young adults, standing near the squad cars. "Are those some of the perps?" "No," the patrolman replied. "They saved the Vic before they could do much more then tear her clothes off. According to them they saw the group forcing Mrs. Andrews into the building, and snuck in and took them down." Olivia looked from the patrolman to the 5 in disbelief. "Your saying that those 5 kids beat a dozen thugs? Officer Hillard, that's highly unlikely" Ryan Hillard Shrugged. "I don't know what to tell you detective. That's what they saw happened, and considering that the other guys were in bad shape and the Victim wasn't raped, I'm inclinded to believe them." Stabler looked away from the alley. "Well, lets bring them down to the station, put them in different rooms, get their statements individually, and ask them for their fingerprints so we can figure out who touched what. Where's the Vic?" "They already took her down to Mercy. She was pretty freaked out, so they gave her a sedative, which apparently she had a mild allergy to. EMT's said she should be stable enough to talk in a little while." Benson nodded. "Ok, send those 5 to the SVU squad room, have Fin and Munch separate them, we'll be behind them in a couple minutes."
A few hours later, Stabler and Benson walked out of one of the interview rooms, having just finished talking to one of them, the one who identified himself as Chris. Leaning against his desk, the veteran detective scratched his chin. They had already talked to Kyle and Lilly, and though their stories were all in order, he couldn't shake a funny feeling. "Hey 'Liv, what's your take on these kids?" Benson looked up from her coffee. "What do you mean? Do I think they were in the group or something?" "No, not like that, something just seems odd about them. Look at their outfits. Their like uniforms. Black Pants, black jacket, only difference in the wardrobe is their shirts. Once has red, another has blue, green, pink and yellow. It's a bit odd if you ask me."
"Maybe it seems odd because it is odd." Spoke Detective Munch as he walked over. "Each one of our Heroes of the day has lived in Texas up until a few days ago, and each one has a record. Chris Wakefield, collared for breaking and entering, assault, and possession. Spencer O'Conner, has done some time for a few assaults. Lilly Sorvino, shoplifting, assault, possession of stolen merchandise. Same charges go for Miss Emma Thomas, with the addition of possession alchol when she was only 17. And then Kyle Bergien, Cocaine possession, B&E, and you guessed it, multiple counts of assault." Stabler whistled as Munch finished. "Now that is odd. How do these kinds of thugs go from all that to rescuing damesless in distress?" Asked Detective Fin Totuola as he walked over. Stabler shrugged. "Maybe they have some big scam they want to cook up here. They could be a part of the gang that wanted to rape Andrews, but decided to act like good guys instead. We should ask Wong to swing by and examine them. He'd probably find them intreasting." As they spoke, Captain Cregon walked over. "The Doctors said our Victim is awake and up for questions, so I want Elliot and Olivia to go down to the hospital and talk to her, get her take on what happened. Fin, why don't you and Munch finish the interviews. But for right now, lets not bring up their records, there not suspects as yet, but if Miss Andrews story contradicts with theirs, then talk to one of the others again.
Please read and review. If you don't like it I apologize. The entire chapter was types up in about a hour and a half and already looks a little different then what I intended. If anyone has any ideas of how to go, I'm more then willing to listen, but please no flames. Thanks.
