Chapter Two: Angel Grove: 1993
That Afternoon
The newly dubbed, Power Rangers, and the offworlders, explained to each other about their lives and what happen to this point. The teens, along with Narukami, were surprised hearing Minato's story. "You telling me that you were dead for two years, trying to keep mankind safe from an evil being?" Zach asked. "Yeah, but almost each year, Erebus, would become stronger with more people wishing for death." The blue haired teen explained as he put his hands in his pockets. "...Normally, I wouldn't believe it, but with Rita and her cronies attacking Angel Grove, I'll believe anything" Jason laughed, however, Zach was not fully convinced until a mysterious voice echoed though the command center.
"I am Thou, Thou art I."
"Ai, Ai, Ai, who or what is making that noise!?" Alpha cried. "I sense a being of pure energy but it is not hostile, Alpha, as for the location, it's behind Arisato." the wizard spoke as a creature started to materialized behind the blue haired teen. "Is that.." Aigis being to asked as Minato's Persona appears. "It is I, Orhpeus, Master of Strings." The Persona spoke to the amazement of everyone. "Ok, I'm convinced." the African American teen thought aloud to the humor of the former Velvet Room inhabitant.
The teen in glasses approached Orphues and being to study aloud. "Persona often means mask or another identity but it seems that the version Minato and his friends spoke about is a creature to aid them in battle." The white haired woman, upon hearing Billy notes on the being, explained. "Yes, you are right on the definition, the power of the Personas are not tools for battle but instead another part of a person's mind. Often summoned from stress or facing one's inner darkness." "...Interesting..." Billy thought to himself while the girl in yellow asked Narukami how was the teen connected to the trio. "kinda, the only reason that I have a Personas was because a murder mystery in another town know as Inaba, where my team and I solved the case and prevented a goddess from destroying the world." Yu explained to the confusion of both Billy and Trini. "A goddess...?" Trini asked before Billy asked about Narukami's friends and why they weren't here. "I don't know, The only reason I'm here was because I used my Persona, Izanagi to help revive Minato...but that meant at the cost of my power.."
"Wait, that means you guys can't fight like Arisato, can you?" The valley girl asked to the shock of two of the former Persona users. "...She's right, I won't be able to protect him..." Aigis depressingly thought to herself while staring at Minato. "Wait, how will we help Jason's team to fight off Rita's goons?" Narukami asked before Elizabeth spoke up. "I may have a idea, but for now nothing is set in stone..." Jason had to asked the young woman a question. "What's your plan, Elizabeth?" However, the teen's question was ignored by the young woman as she thought to herself. "...I pondered how many others are there?" "Alright, meanwhile, we might want to adjust to our surroundings." Minato thought aloud to agreement of the other offworlders. "Crap, looks like we have to talk about this later, We have to get home before our parents freak!" Zach screamed as he began to panic. "Zordon, do you have a way to teleport the teens to their last location?" Elizabeth asked to Zordon's delight. "Of course, I will send the rangers back into the Angel Grove Youth Center." "Thanks, Zordon. See you guys tomorrow." Kimberly waved as they vanished into lights.
After the new superhero team returned to their city, Minato and Aigis decided to help Alpha with setting rooms up while both Yu and Elizabeth begin to asked the wise sage a few questions about their current situation. "I sensed that my allies and I are no longer in the year 2012 A.D. nor are we in Japan for that matter. Am I right?" Elizabeth's question confused Narukami at first, but he remember the differences between the two worlds. "You are correct, the year is currently 1993 A.D., As for the location, the Command Center is located in the desert near Angel Grove, California." "Wait, we're nineteen years in the past?" The grey haired teen questioned the logic but slowly thought about the era's differences. "...In a way, yes and no, we are not in our original universe, instead in one where our timeline differ from this one."The white haired girl explained. Yu thought for a bit before fully understanding the gist of it. "I understand." "Good, I see that you catch on fast, no wonder my sister is impressed with your understanding of others." Elizabeth bragged before the others returned with Alpha. "Your rooms are ready. The fellows will be in the third floor while the ladies are on the second. The smaller robot explained as the four decided to rest for the night. "Thank you, Alpha." Yu said as the group separated into the two rooms. "I'll have one of the rangers entered the command center in the morning, but for now, you should rest." Zordon said as they nodded.
That Night
Minato, still awake, is laying in the top hammock and deep in thought. "Aigis, Narukami, and Elizabeth lost their personas to revive me..." The teen thought. "...Because of me, We are in this mess..." Blaming himself, the young man left his room before running into Aigis. "Aigis?" Minato asked his friend. "..I just wanted to make sure you're alright.." The girl smiled yet seemed worried. "..yeah, hey, would you like to talk outside?" The boy asked, much to the android's delight. "Of course."
Outside the command center.
The night sky was full of stars as the two reminiscence about their past. "...No way, I've figured that Mitsuru being the company's president, but you're telling me that Yukari is an actress, Junpei's now a little league coach, and Akihiko became a police officer after traveling the world." Minato, surprised about their friends' improvements, laughed a bit. "Indeed, it's been amazing how our friends have changed..." Aigis' lighthearted smile reminded the teen of their school days, before the fight against Nyx and his sacrifice. Before Minato could say anything else, he was hugged by the female android. "...Aigis?" He asked before noticing small tear running down her eye. "I..I thought I would never see you again...but you're here..." She said as her tears fell on the teen's shoulder. "...Aigis..." Minato whispered as he hugged her back. "Don't worry, I'm here, and this time, I'll protect you.." "Thank you, Minato." Aigis said quietly as the two begin back into the Command Center.
The Next Day.
As Narukami woke up and left the room, he entered the main chamber of the building and found the others and Trini waiting for him. "What's going on?" The grey haired teen asked before noticing Minato, who was wearing a black wife-beater shirt underneath a blue long sleeve shirt and black jeans, Elizabeth, who was wearing a simple blue dress and some blue tennis shoes with white socks, and Aigis, who wore blue jeans, a white long sleeve flannel shirt over a pink top, wearing new clothes. "Zordon asked me to bring some clothes for you guys." Trini explained as she handed Yu some clothes that she and Kimberly found in the lost and found bin from their school. "Umm thanks.." Yu thought to himself as he tried to find anything that wasn't wife-beaters or training clothes, until he finally found a black flannel shirt with red stripes and blue jeans. After getting changed in his room, Trini explained that she had to leave soon for her classes. However, she thought for a second before realizing. "It might be wise for you guys to join me." "Huh, why would that be?" Aigis asked in confusion. "Mostly, if someone from the school board or working with Angel Grove High finds you four, then you will be sent to the police for questioning." Trini explained to the understanding of the four. "I got it, it also would be bad if they realized a robot girl is roaming the streets." The grey haired teen infamous deadpan joke returned. "Yeah, I don't think the government would take to kindly to a advanced android in 1993." Trini laughed as Alpha brought papers, explaining. "I made the papers, but I had to make last names for Aigis and Elizabeth." "Alright, it looks like we are going back to school." Minato sighed about the strangeness of the situation.
Angel Grove High School office
"Minato Arisato and Aigis Midori, you two have been approved for the class of Ms. Appleby's class. As for Mr. Yu Narukami and Ms. Elizabeth Smith, their classroom will be Mr. Anderson, which is the room across Ms. Appleby's. Do you four have any other questions?" The male principal named Caplan asked to the quiet offworlders. "No sir." Yu answered as the others nod in unison." Alright,please do your best with your studies and behavior." The male principal explained before the Arisato thanked him.
As the four left Mr. Caplan's room, they were approached two teen, one overweight in black clothing and a skinny teen in punk attire. "Huh, four newbies? When did they get here?" The skinny asked as the overweight one stared at Minato. "Um...Can I help you?" The blue head asked. "Yeah, blueberry, who the heck are you and when did you get here with the grey head and the two cuties." He rudely questioned the teen. "We just got here and I don't like it that you are looking at my cousin and my girlfriend." Minato calmly answered to the annoyance of the overweight teen. "Uh huh, Well, you know what we do to the new guys here, don't ya, Skull let's get them!" The taller teen yelled as the duo of Bulk and Skull attempt to fight Minato and Yu.
"Minato, should I take care of the threat?" Aigis asked. "Nah, I got the big one if Yu has the skinny one." Heh, you think I'm that weak, Arisato?" Narukami chuckled before being interrupted by a charging Skull. "Don't you ignore...ME?!" Skull yelled as he was judo flipped by Yu onto the ground. "Nope, it's just I'm afraid of my own strength." The blue haired teen answered as he pushed back the charging Bulk "Skull!" Bulk screamed before being tripped on top of Skull. "That was quick..." Narukami blinked as Bulk and Skull ran off. "We might want to get to our classes." Aigis thought aloud as the bell ringed.
Ms. Appleby's classroom
Jason stared outside of the window, thinking of the events that transpired just a day ago, as the teacher continued her lesson, only to be interrupted by a knock on the classroom door. "..Ah yes, I forgot, everyone we have two students that joined us today." The teacher explained to the other students surprise. "New students, I wonder if they are cute guys." A girl asked Kimberly. The pink ranger thought back to what Trini said about the four joining the school, only to be interrupted by Bulk's talk to Skull. "I swear, if it's blue boy, I'll..." However, as Minato and Aigis entered the classroom, Bulk faints onto his desk much to the surprise of Skull. "You'll what...Bulk?" Skull asked before noticing who the blue haired teen was sitting in the desk next to the duo. "Oh...crap..." The skinny one said as he too faint.
Aigis, was assign to the desk in front of Kimberly before Aigis was tapped by the girl next to the valley girl. "Hey, Aigis wasn't it?" The teen asked as the android nodded. "Is Arisato your boyfriend?" This caused the female shadow fighting android to blush bright red before quietly answering. "Y-Yes..." Kimberly could only stare as the two continued with the awkward conversation.
Mr. Anderson's Class
After being introduced to everyone, Yu was assigned the seat next to Zach. "Hey, Yu, I know this is sudden but have you thought about joining any clubs?" The black ranger asked to the surprise calmness of Narukami. "No, do have any suggestions?" The grey head asked as Zach explained his class at the Youth Center. As the two talked, Elizabeth asked Billy about any libraries nearby. "Of Course, Angel Grove have about three, if you include the school's." "I see, then I shall go to one when school is over with."
The Youth Center
After School is over, the teens meet up at the combination of a Juice Bar and a Youth Center. "Ah, hey kids, how are ya?" The bartender and owner asked before seeing the four new teens. "Looks like you guys have new friends, I'll make some more drinks for you guys."
"Thanks, Ernie." Trini thanked the man as Zach asked Narukami to train with him with his own Martial Arts style. "I call this Hip-Hop Kido." The name made Yu laughed in his head but he stay calm as the duo trained.
Meanwhile, Jason brought two wooden swords, so Minato could teach him Kendo. "You sure you want to try this, Jason?" Arisato asked before equipping the mask and the armor. As the two fight with their weapons, Kimberly, Trini, and Aigis noticed how the two are evenly matched, while Billy and Elizabeth study the books that the two rented from the school's library.
Chapter End.
Author's notes: "Yep, a very slow chapter, but at least I am continuing the story. Anyway, I have a question, if our four offworlders become rangers (Spoiler), I am thinking of a Sentai Series that has not been translated to the west or use other powers from other Power Rangers Series such as Dino Thunder. Please tell in the comments by asking for either Sentai team JET MAN or Power Ranger team: Dino Thunder. See you guys and girls next time!"
