Chapter 1 Finding Five Rangers

It was a beautiful day in Angel Grove, California. A young girl in yellow walked up to a young girl in pink, who was sitting down at a table at the Youth Center. The year was 1993.

"Hey, Kimberly," Trini Kwan said.

"Oh, hey, Trini," Kimberly Ann Hart smiled.

She looked over at a boy wearing a blue sweatband and smiled. The teen was dressed down in a typical karate uniform. Around his waist was a white belt. White indicated that he was a beginner.

"Look at Billy over there," Kim said.

He had been training with his friend, Jason Lee Scott, for some time now. Kim had been watching them since she got out of gymnastics practice. Trini herself had also just gotten out of her meditation class.

"He's doing really well," Trini said, sitting next to her.

"What's up girls," Zachary Taylor asked.

With a black towel wrapped around his neck, the two girls knew that he had finished his hip hop class. Trini and Kim smiled at Zack.

"Hey, Zack," Kim said, moving her seat a little to let him in between her and Trini.

Jason and Billy Cranston came walking up to the table. The both of them were sweating.

"Billy, you've really improved," Trine said as Billy sat down next to her.

"You really think so," he asked.

"Sure," Trini smiled.

Kim covered her mouth so that the two wouldn't hear her laugh. The sexual tension between the pair was obvious, but they never did anything about it. Come to think of it, Kim seemed to be the only one that noticed it.

"Okay, I can't stand this anymore. Please you two go change your clothes," Kim begged.

Jason and Billy looked at each other and both arose from the table.

"Um, you too, Zack. You're sweating as much as they are," Kim said.

With his head down, Zack joined Billy and Jason and headed into the locker room.

"Thanks," Kim said.

Ten minutes later, the three boys reunited with their two female friends.

"Much better," Kim smiled.

A blonde haired girl walked over the group.

"Excuse me, but can you tell me where I can find Ernie," she asked.

When Jason turned to face her, he was left speechless.

"He's um, ah…" he began.

"Emily," Ernie called.

"Uncle Ernie," she smiled.

"Everyone, I'd like you to meet my niece, Emily," he said.

Jason opened his mouth, but nothing came out. Zack laughed and threw his hand around him.

"I'm Zack, this is Jason, Billy, Trini, and Kim," he said.

"Nice to meet you all," Emily smiled, walking away with Ernie.

"Nice to meet you too," Jason finally said.

"I think someone has a crush," Kim laughed.

All of a sudden, the building began to vibrate violently.

"Earthquake," Ernie yelled, taking hold of a chair. Emily grabbed her uncle's hand and headed for the door.

"We got to get out of here before the building collapses," Jason said, pushing his chair away from him.

"What's happening," Kim asked.

"Quick, into the hall," Billy said.

Trini wrapped her arms around Billy's arm.

"This is too weird," she said.

As the five of them entered the hall, they all disappeared into thin air.

They all reappeared in an empty gigantic room that was circler in shape. The place was barely lit, so you could hardly make out anything.

"What the hell just happened to us," Zack asked. "Do you know, Jason?"

"No, man, I don't," he said.

Gradually, they all got up.

"Let's spilt up and see what we can find," Jason said.

As Jason turned, he ran into a walk.

"Aw," he wined.

"Nice one, Jase," Zack laughed.

"Aw," a female voice yelled.

"Shit, that's Kim. Come on," Trini said.

They ran over to her to see what the matter was.

"Kimberly, what's going on," Billy asked.

"You guys just look at what is in front of you," she said, pointing up.

Their mouths dropped open.

"Oh my God," Jason gasped.

They all took a step back.

"Um, aren't those things supposed to be extinct," Trini asked.

"Even I knew that," Kim said.

Like that, they disappeared again.

"Not again," Zack moaned.

They came crashing down to the ground.

"Aw, my back," Jason moaned.

"Damn, what's happening," Zack asked.

He assisted Jason in getting up.

"Welcome, Jason, Zachary, Kimberly, Billy, and Trini. I am Zordon," a voice said.

"And I'm Alpha 5," replied the little robot.

Kim fell back looking up at Zordon.

"Holy shit," she gasped.

They were all staring at a man's head in some sort of tube.

"You five young teenagers have been chosen to become Power Rangers and fight Rita Repulsa," Zordon said.

They looked at each other in shock. None of them knew what to say when they heard this. After a few moments of silence, Jason spoke up.

"Listen, Zordon. I don't know who you are and what this Rita person is doing..." Jason began.

"Yeah, we're just teenagers. What can we do," Trini asked, walking beside Jason.

"You're young and strong, that's what," Alpha said.

"Whoa," Billy replied.

Billy walked around Alpha.

"A fully sentient, multi-functional automaton," he said.

"Jason, you will control the Tyrannosaurs proudly," replied Zordon.

Kim bit her pink polished finger nail as she turned to Jason.

"What the hell are you talking about," Jason asked. "A Tyrannosaurs!"

"Alright," Alpha said. "Zordon, I'll tell them. You five can help save the world with the powers that will be given to you, if you decide to go through with this."

"It sounds like a huge responsibility," Billy sighed. "But that's just me."

"You can't be serious," Zack said.

He thought he was dreaming. Zack had even pinched his arm.

"Indeed I am serious, Zachary," Zordon laughed.

"Can somebody like pick me up and take me back to Earth, cause I'm totally confused," Kim said.

She began shaking her head.

"This has to be a dream," Kim whispered.

"Jason," continued Zordon, "you will control the Tyrannosaurs Dinozord. Kimberly, you will control the Pterodactyl Dinozord. Trini, you will control the Saber-tooth tiger Dinozord. Billy, the Triceratops Dinozord will be yours, and Zachary, the Mastodon Dinozord will be yours."

"So, the zords are those big robotic animals back there," Kim asked.

"They're mechanical zords, which means they have some computerized chips they run off of," Billy said.

"Only you would know that, Kim laughed.

"You are correct, Billy," Alpha said. "There's also one more zord. This zord is the Dragonzord, and is for one more Ranger that hasn't yet come into our viewing."

"Is he or she going to be here today," asked Kim, all excited.

"Oh, no, Kimberly. He or she will come when the time is right," Zordon said.

She just nodded.

"Man," Jason said, "I can't wait for that day."

"There's only one problem," Alpha sighed.

"What's that, Alpha," Billy asked.

"Rita has that power coin," he told them.

"That can't be good," Kim said.

"To think, us, five teenagers, saving the world," Trini smiled.

She was still trying to sink everything in. Kim put her hand on her friend's shoulder and also smiled.

"Now, to call upon your powers," Zordon said. "Jason, yell out your dinosaur's name."

"I don't know, I mean are you sure we're capable," he asked.

"The morphing grid would not have picked you if you weren't," Zordon said.

Jason took a deep breath.

"Tyrannosaurs," he yelled.

Like that, Jason became the Red Ranger.

"Whoa, this is so cool. I feel like… like I can do anything," he said.

"That's so cool," Kim smiled.

"Jason," Zordon said, "you'll be known as the Red Ranger."

"Alright," he nodded.

Now, Kim was the Pink Ranger, Trini was the Yellow Ranger, Billy was the Blue Ranger, and Zack was the Black Ranger.

"Now," Alpha said, "I will teleport you all back to the Youth Center. Here are your communicators."

All of them disappeared back to the Youth Center.

They were all still shocked. They could not believe what had just happened to them about an hour ago.

"That was way freaky you guys. Don't you think it was? I mean come on, Power Rangers," Trini asked.

"This is amazing," Billy said, smiling at everyone.

He had to have been the most excited about all that was happening.

"I totally agree wit you, brain man," Zack smiled.

Jason noticed that Emily was handing their way.

"Here comes your crush," Zack whispered.

"Man, shut up," Jason said, kicking Zack under the table.

"Aw," Zack yelled.

"You alright, Zack," Emily asked.

"I'm just fine," he said, taking hold of his leg.

"So, Jason, Uncle Ernie says that you're a karate teacher," Emily said.

"When I get a chance to, yeah," he replied.

"Great, maybe you can teach me some moves sometime," Emily said.

Trini and Kim both looked at each other in astonishment.

"Sure, I'd love to," Jason said.

"Great," Emily smiled.

Everyone started laughing as the blonde walked away.

"It seems like Emily is infatuated with you too, Jason," Billy said.

"In English please," Kim replied.

"Billy said it seems Emily likes Jason too," Trini laughed.

Rita was walking outside her throne room with her right hand man, or monkey for that matter, Goldar.

"So, Zordon and Alpha think that they they're going to try to stop me with their teenaged brats? I'll show Zordon and his Power Rangers that I mean business," she said.

Goldar came walking up beside her.

"You should worry Zordon. Your time is coming for you and your Rangers," he said.

Rita and Goldar walked back into the throne room.

"It's time to see what these Power Rangers of yours can do. Finster," Rita called.

The dog like creature emerged form the darkness.

"Yes, my Queen," Finster asked.

"I need you to prepare putties to send to Earth," Rita said.

"Coming up," Finster said.

Back at the Youth Center, the gang had just ordered drinks. Zack looked to his left, then his right.

"So, now what? Do we just sit here and wait for the communicators to beep or something," he asked.

Before Jason answered, Kim covered his mouth as a few teens passed them.

"I think so," Jason said, after Kim removed her hand, "but don't answer it right then and there. Find a place were no one can here you. Oh, and also remember, we must never let anymore, and I mean anyone, know we're the Power Rangers."

"Even our parents," Trini asked.

"Even our parents," Jason said.

"Don't worry, Jason. We won't," Billy promised.

"You can count on us," Kim said.

Then, their drinks arrived.

"Here are your drinks," Ernie said.

"Thanks, Ernie," they smiled.

"These drinks are to die for," Trini said.

"The best," Kim added, before taking another gulp.

"Slow down there girl," Zack laughed.

Out of nowhere, something started to go off.

BEEPBEEP BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP

Jason quickly covered his communicator.

"Already, are you kidding me," moaned Trini.

"Well I guess we should go," Kim sighed as she got up from the table.

"Come on guys, let's go," Jason said, also getting up.

Emily then appeared in front of them.

"And where do you think you're going," she asked.

"Sorry, but this is kind of an emergency," Jason said.

They went to an empty part of the Youth Center.

"We're clear," Billy said.

"We read you, Zordon. What is it," Jason answered as Billy walked up behind him.

"Rangers, teleport to the Command Center, immediately," he said.

None of them thought that they would be called this early.

"You got it. We'll be there in a flash," Jason said.

"Yeah, literally," Kim laughed.

"You guys ready for this," Zack asked.

"You bet it," said Trini. "I was born ready."

"Yeah," Kim sighed, "I guess I am."

"Let's do it then," Jason said.

They all pushed the button on their communicators and disappeared to the Command Center, not knowing what was going got happen.

Alpha was walking back and forth as five streams of light entered the Command Center.

"What's the problem, Zordon," Jason asked, walking in front of everyone.

"Rangers, look at the viewing globe," Alpha said.

They all turned and walked towards the globe.

"This is Rita's creations, the putties, and that is her right hand man, Goldar," Zordon said.

"More like monkey to me," Zack laughed.

"What has he done, Zordon," Jason asked.

"Rita has sent them down to destroy your city," he said.

Kim bit her lower lip. She had to admit she was a little scared.

"Whoa, he looks strong," said Kim, backing up and covering her mouth.

"And damn ugly too," Trini added.

"He's atrocious," Billy said.

"Do you really think we'll be able to go up against him," Jason asked.

"If you all believe in yourselves, then you can do anything you set your mind to," Zordon said.

"Are you guys ready," Zack asked, looking at everyone.

They all looked at him and smiled, Kim, having a worried smile, but she and everyone else were indeed ready for their first battle.

"I have just one question," Jason said, turning around from the rest.

"What is it, Jason," Zordon asked.

"How do we all transform," he wondered.

"You put your morphers in the air and yell, it's morphin time," Zorodn said.

"Alright. It's morphin time," Jason yelled.

"Mastodon," Zack called.

"Pterodactyl," Kim replied.

"Triceratops," Billy yelled.

"Saber-tooth tiger," Trini commanded.

"Tyrannosaurs," Jason yelled.

Like that all five of them transformed into the Power Rangers.

"Whoa," Billy said, putting his hand on his helmet. "That was so cool."

"Totally," Kim smiled, putting her hands on her hips.

"Can you believe that this is happening to us," Trini asked.

"Let's go find this Goldar," Jason said.

"Let's bring him down," Zack replied, putting both his hands together.

"Good luck, Rangers," Alpha panicked.

"May the power protect you," said Zordon.

None of them knew what kind of dangers they would face battling Goldar, but they didn't care. They knew inside they could do it.

"Look," Trini said, pointing to Goldar, "there he is."

"Well, I guess this is it. You ready everyone," Jason asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Billy said, swallowing hard.

"Yeah," the rest replied.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

As you can already tell, this is a slightly different beginning. Hope you liked it. I think the character of Emily should have been on the show earlier than she was.
