Author's Note - Hi everyone, so I've decided that as of right now I'm turning this account into an account for fanficition about shows I grew up with or like, obviously they will be OC's since as an Author IRL I like writing actual characters and not using someone elses. So anyways, enjoy Chapter 1 of The Techno Rangers.
The last thing any of the five teenagers had expected walking into school today was to be handed detention by none other than the Principal of the school himself. Bella had received hers for being a bad example to other students, Percy received his for unsavoury language, Gale got detention for too much roughhousing, Alice got hers for challenging the Principal on his decision to make art no longer a compulsory subject and lastly, Jacob had gotten detention for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"I can't believe I'm stuck in detention with the like of a fairy like you" Gale rolled his eyes as Percy turned to face him, a glare already forming on the other boy face.
"Oh would you shut up and go pump some iron you gym rat" Percy countered, not too thrilled about seeing Gale either.
"Would you two both be quiet and do your handout" Alice replied, her voice barely audible in her own ears.
"No one's talking to you little miss perfect so put a sock in it" Daniel answered, turning his attention to the much smaller girl.
"Man I love detention, so full of juicy drama!" Bella laughed, leaning back on her chair.
The only one who seemed to remain silent was Jacob, a bulky young man he remained seated in his chair as the conversation escalated only focusing on his work. He hardly even noticed when the Principal came into the room, and everyone stopped their bickering and took their seats once again.
It was about an hour later that they were finally released from what felt like to them a prison sentence. Neither one of them talked to each other and instead began to walk until all five of them received a notification on their phones at the exact same time, and for a moment they all looked at each other, wondering whose phone it was that had received the notification.
Eventually, after no one checked, all of them took out their phones and were surprised to see that an App they hadn't installed was on their phones. It was called Techno Animals, and for a moment, they all looked at each other. However, it wasn't long until an argument broke out amongst them.
"Okay, when did you install an App on my phone, you pansy!" shouted Gale to Percy, picking him up by his shirt collar like he weighed nothing more than a rag doll.
"I didn't touch your stupid phone, you Gorilla!" Percy shouted in response.
"I'm getting sick of you running that mouth of yours" Gale replied, readying a punch.
Before his fist could make contact with Percy's face, he was surprised that Jacob had a firm grip on Gale's fist and kept squeezing harder and harder. To Gale, it felt as though his hand was in a vice grip.
"Enough," Jacob told him sternly.
"Well look who finally spoke" Gale smirked weakly as Jacob's grip grew tighter.
Within the space of the next few seconds, Gale was forced to let his grip on Percy's shirt go as the smaller boy fell onto the floor with a loud thud. Alice was the one who ran to make sure he was okay while Bella just stood in place, taking in the scene that had just unfolded.
"Well if you didn't put this stupid app on my phone then who did!?" shouted Gale as he waved his phone in Percy's face as Alice helped him back to his feet.
"I don't know" Percy replied, shooting the most hateful glare he could muster at Gale who ground his teeth in frustration.
"No point in trying to delete it either, it won't uninstall for whatever reason" Bella added in, finally getting over her shock.
Suddenly, before any of them could say another word, there was a bright flash of light as the App seemed to open by itself on all five of their screens simultaneously. A distinct roar of five different animals seemed to echo throughout the now empty halls of the school.
All five of them read the letter that popped up on their screens, it was from a company called Techno Unlimited. It congratulated them on being the first five people in the world to be chosen to have the App installed to their phone. Furthermore, it went on to explain that they had now become the next generation of Power Rangers and that all they would need to say to morph was "Techno Realise". However, no matter where they looked, there didn't seem to be any sort of contact details on the note anywhere.
Without warning, the letter dissipated and in its place was five different animals on their phone. The animals seemed to follow their respected owner's movement and even made sounds of joy when touched as Alice found out.
"What kind of stupid crap is this!?" Gale shouted, earning a holler from his Gorilla on his phone, "Power Rangers? What are we, five!?".
"For once I have to agree with Daniel" Bella replied, shrugging her shoulder as she walked off down the hallway, however, not before an announcement began to play on the school's television screen.
"Greetings humans, I am Queen Viria, I mean you no harm once you hand over the Techno Animals App to me, refuse and I will have no choice but to send one of my minions to wipe out your race and retrieve the devices that the App has made itself known on" she screeched.
After the announcement finished up the five teens looked at each other, realising that what they had was real, they really had become Power Rangers. Something that Bella and Gale didn't want at all.
"I can't be a Power Ranger! They're good at martial arts and stuff, I couldn't throw a punch to save my life!" sniffed Alice as the realisation that she would be in danger came to mind.
Without saying a word, Jacob wiped her tears and nodded in agreement. However, they knew that if they didn't do a thing, they wouldn't live much longer. Even though they didn't want to, they all looked at their phones once again and then back at each other.
"I mean if we don't do anything we may as well kiss this school and everything we hold dear by, besides I doubt if we handed it over miss screechy voice would hold up her end of the deal, she doesn't look like that kind of person" Percy stated, becoming the voice of reason.
"Don't get any ideas, I still think you're a pushover, but in this case, I don't really have a choice but to work with you" Daniel replied, a frown present on his face.
"I can't believe I'm about to do this" Alice whispered to herself.
"You can't be serious!" wined Bella, "We're five kids, how the hell do you expect to beat whatever she sends at us!".
"We can't sit by and do nothing either" added Jacob.
Without a moment's waste, the four teens lifted their phones and shouted the phrase the note had instructed them to say.
"Techno Realise!" they all shouted.
"With the strength of the Gorilla, Techno Force Red Ranger!" announced Daniel.
"With the ferocity of the Wolf, Techno Force Blue Ranger!" declared Percy.
"With the compassion of the Elephant, Techno Force Yellow Ranger!" shouted Jacob.
"With the freedom of the Dove, Techno Force White Ranger!" Alice stated, raising her voice as high as she could.
Only Bella was left, as she stared at the other four teenagers in their spandex suits with helmets that resembled the animals on their phones, she wondered if perhaps this really was a good idea. She wondered if maybe she could give her phone to someone else and have them fill her place as a Power Ranger since she didn't want to be. However, she realised that this may be a chance to promote her musical talent and lifted up her phone.
"Techno Realise!" she declared, "Wait, what the hell kind of animal am I!?".
"I think your animal is an Armadillo, more specifically a Pink Fairy Armadillo" Jacob clarified.
"What! Why the hell does Alice get a bird and I get something that looks like it shouldn't exist!" moaned Bella.
"We don't have time for this" Gale told her rolling his eyes.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake as the room that they had just served detention in fell apart and standing in the courtyard was a horrific beast that looked like some sort of Gryphon, everyone turned to Percy who was on his phone.
"While you lot were arguing I decided to do something productive and sent out a global GPS signal so we could face off against that Viria's monster that she wanted to send to destroy our planet, you lot really should read what the App has to offer" he informed them.
"Give me the App," said the creature as it walked towards them, "Do that, and I promise you won't suffer… much".
"To summon your weapons just say the name of your Animal" Percy informed them as he ran at the creature, "Wolf!" he shouted as a Halberd materialised in his hands.
Without wasting another second, the four remaining teenagers called their weapons, Bella's turned out to be two shields, Alice's was a Bow, Jacob's was what appeared to be a War Hammer, and lastly, Gale's seemed to be a pair of Gauntlets, all the weapons appeared to match their outfit colours.
Despite their best efforts to overpower the creature the five of them got their butts handed to them and struggled to stand after no more than a few minutes, Alice wasn't even able to rise up off of the ground she was so exhausted and injured. However, Jacob helped her up, placing her arm over his shoulder.
"You lot are pathetic, you don't even know how to wield such power, I think I'll start by finishing those two first!" shouted the creature.
A blast of energy went flying at Alice and Jacob, and neither Percy nor Gale were quick enough to react. However, Bella was already in front of them before anyone could bat an eyelid and to protect the two she combined both her shields into one large shield big enough to protect all three of them.
"Come on Gale, don't let a fairy show you up" Percy teased him as he ran at the beast while it was distracted by Bella's quick movement.
"Like hell, I will!" shouted Gale as he charged behind Percy.
Both Rangers swung and pummeled the creature with Jacob joining in on the fight leaving Bella to take care of Alice whose arm seemed broken from the attack earlier. However, even with all three rangers overpowering it, the beast refused to go down and fought off all three of them one by one.
"We'll meet again Rangers, this isn't the last time we'll meet" the beast replied as a ship materialised overhead and teleported the creature inside before it flew off into the sky at supersonic speed.
Suddenly, the school principal appeared from behind a corner his phone held up in the direction of the five teenagers. He had been live streaming the Rangers battle and had even managed to capture the moment they had gotten their butts kicked.
"Who are you?" he asked, his voice was shaky.
"We're the Techno Rangers, and as long as we're here, we promise to protect the people of Earth from Queen Viria" Bella announced much to the surprise of the others.
Without saying it, the five teens knew that their lives would change forever from this moment forward. They wondered just how they would be able to manage schooling and take on the likes of Queen Viria at the same time. Regardless of if they wanted to be or not, they were now the next generation of Power Rangers.
Author's Note - Hi everyone, sorry if this chapter wasn't the best, not very good with the first chapter, also just so you're aware this fanfiction will deal with each character going through a different arch that I've come up with to make them feel more human, especially since the show from what I remember growing up with Power Ranger never really touched on the topics I'll be covering. Anyways if you enjoyed, let me know! :)
