Chris woke up in the morning and got dressed. After heading downstairs, he started working on breakfast. Shannon, Frank, and Susan soon joined Chris downstairs.
"Morning, guys." Chris said.
"Morning, big brother." Shannon said with a smile.
"Hey, honey." Susan said.
"Hey, Son." Frank said.
Chris soon had biscuits, bacon, scrambled eggs, and sausage laid out for himself and his family. Frank grabbed a couple sausages, two strips of bacon, and some eggs. Shannon picked up a biscuit, some eggs and bacon. Susan picked up the same thing, as did Chris.
"When does football practice start?" Susan asked.
"After school today, actually." Chris replied.
The family nodded.
"Hey, did you guys hear there's a new team of Power Rangers?" Shannon asked.
"I saw them actually." Chris said. "They were fighting some snake freaks."
"I think whoever they really are... they need to leave this sort of thing to the police." Frank said.
"I personally feel safe with them out there." Susan said.
Chris smiled a bit then Shannon looked at Frank. "This may be something too big for the cops, Daddy." She said.
After breakfast, Chris and Shannon walked to Chris's car, a red and black Chevy Corvette Stingray.
"Can we go through a practice drive for me after football practice?" Shannon asked. "I wanna be able to do good when I take the test on my birthday next month."
"I don't see why not." Chris said. "We can use the school's parking lot."
Shannon had a bright smile on her face as she sat in the passenger seat while Chris sat in the driver's seat. He then started the engine after the doors were closed and Chris pulled out of the driveway and headed for Jasper's high school.
"What're your thoughts on them?" Shannon asked as she was tying her hair in a ponytail.
"The Power Rangers?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"Honestly, I'm glad they're out there." He replied.
She nodded. "I wonder who they are, though."
He shrugged. "So, how're things with Marissa?" He said, smirking. He glanced at her and saw her cheeks redder than her makeup.
"W-What are you talking about?" She asked.
"Don't start that, Shan. I pay attention." He said. "You like her. I see the way you two look at each other."
"Come on, Chris. She doesn't look at me a certain way... does she?"
"She does. I've seen it."
"...Okay. I'll admit it. Maybe I do feel something for her."
"You should tell her."
"And if she doesn't feel the same way?"
"Dude, she does."
Chris soon arrived at the high school and parked in his assigned parking spot. After that, he and Shannon walked into the school.
Sapphire approached them. "Hey, guys." She said.
"Hey, Saph. How'd that skydiving go yesterday?" Chris asked.
"Well, Scar and I didn't land at the stadium. Instead, we landed near the rec center."
"At least you two are safe." Shannon said.
"On our way to my place, we saw the new Power Rangers fighting those giant snake things." Scarlett said as she caught up with the three, who were on their way to the gymnasium for a pep rally.
Chris soon went to catch up with the rest of the football team, DJ with them, and the team got their jerseys, pads, and helmets.
"Welcome, students, to Jasper High!" The principal said, and cheering could be heard from the locker room. "I know everyone is still a bit salty that summer's over, but there can still be fun here at school. Now, everyone, without further ado, give it up for your Tigers!" He said then Chris led the football team out of the locker room and the team ran into the court, some occasionally bouncing, but the Purple and Red Rangers bumped chests.
Chris then walked onto the stage and stood behind the microphone. "What up, y'all?!" He said and the gymnasium erupted with cheers. "I tell you what, your Tigers appreciate this enthusiasm. We have a few rookies on the team, but that won't stop us from proving to the teams we'll be facing that these Tigers definitely ain't tame. Hell, yeah?!"
"Hell, yeah!" The students said.
"Hell, yeah." Chris said. "I hope to see you guys cheering us on next week as we face off against the Timberwolves next week."
The students cheered again then Chris walked offstage.
"Well said, Mr. Rudy. Now, because of what happened yesterday, the school board has decreed that if any of the creatures from yesterday are spotted, do not engage them." Mr. McDonald, the principal, said.
After the pep rally, the football team changed back into their regular clothes then everyone headed to class.
"Hey, Cap." One of the players said, catching up to the Rangers.
"Hey, Jim. What's up?" Chris asked.
"Just wanted you boys to know I'm planning on throwing a little back to school party at Crystal Lake tomorrow night. All grades invited." Jim said.
"Nice, man." DJ said.
"Thanks. Help spread the word?"
"No problem." Chris and DJ said.
As the Rangers, went about their day in school, aboard her ship, Serpenterra looked at Claw.
"Have we identified them, my beloved?" She asked.
"Yes, my lady." He said then pulled up the identities of the Power Rangers. "And they're at some sort of school."
"If they're based on dragons, they must be getting help from that do gooder, Tyrannus." She said. "Perhaps I should go down and observe them."
"How, my princess?"
"Simple." She said then transformed into a 17 year old with waist long dark red hair, jade green eyes, and a toned body. Her clothes were a top that stopped just above her stomach, a miniskirt, and knee length boots. On her arms and legs were scars she'd received from training and actual combat.
"By posing as a human?" Fang asked.
"Not only will it help me learn about the humans, but I'll help me gain the Rangers' trust." She said. "Send me down then prepare to attack those Rangers."
Claw nodded then sent the princess to Earth.
Serpenterra landed near the Cryptic Forest. When she landed, strange sounds came from the tree, almost like whispering. She just shrugged and walked into town.
That's chapter two. This will be split into two parts. Review and I'll post more chapters.
