Back with chapter 2 I meant to get this out earlier but I started a job at UPS loading trucks from 3:30-8:30 in the morning and when you add that with my other job all of my time at home has been spent eating, showering or sleeping. and toattempt to make up for my lack of time during the week to work on updates, I will do my best to make longer chapters over the weekends.

and for those of you that left questions, comments, and/or concerns, I have every intention of addressing those as the fic continues. So please keep reading and reviewing. Also thanks to everyone that reviewed, I honestly wasn't expecting so much positive feedback on this.

Chapter 2

Kimberly, awakened by the beeping of her communicator, rolled out of her bed and quickly rushed over to her desk and picked up the watch like device. "What is it Zordon?" she asked in an urgent tone.

"KIMBERLY, TELEPORT TO THE COMMAND CENTER IMMEDIATELY," Zordon's voice said through the communicator.

"On the way," the Pink Ranger replied as she strapped the device to her wrist and activated it. Immediately she disappeared in a pillar of pink light only to reappear seconds later in the Command Center alongside her friends.

"Zordon what's wrong?" Jason asked the giant head that was their leader Zordon.

"THERE IS TROUBLE IN A SMALL CEMETERY," Zordon's booming voice replied.

"What sort of trouble?" Zack asked, still a little groggy from being woken up in the middle of the night.

"OBSERVE THE VIEWING GLOBE," Zordon replied.

As one, all five teens turned to the large sphere behind them. Its surface quickly changed from the usual white to an image of a small graveyard, soon it showed a small group of people. The teens immediately recognized Xander among the group, and from the looks of it the other five were attacking him.

Upon closer inspection they were able to see that the other five people there, weren't exactly people. Each of them had glowing yellow eyes and had deformed faces with large fangs.

"What are those things?" Trini asked as they turned back to face Zordon.

"I DO NOT KNOW, BUT WE BELIEVE THEY ARE THE SOURCE OF THE RECENT MURDER AND THEY ARE ATTACKING AN INNOCENT. GO AND AID HIM WHILE ALPHA AND I TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY ARE," Zordon answered.

"Alright guys," Jason said as he and the others stood in a line. "Its Morphin Time!" the young man yelled out as the whole group raised their mophers into the air.

"Mastodon!"

"Pterodactyl!"

"Triceratops!"

"Sabertooth Tiger!"

"Tyrannosaurus!"


'This is not looking good,' Xander thought to himself as he shot another vampire in the chest, causing it to stagger but not fall. 'Always bring an extra stake!' he yelled at himself before a vampire snuck up behind him and threw him through the air and into a nearby headstone, causing it to shatter from the impact.

The young hunter was having a tough time with the vampires, early in the fight both his stake and cross had been knocked out of his hands and had gone flying away into the dark. Shortly after that his knives had also been knocked away by the demons, leaving only his guns.

Quickly rising to his feet he jumped to the side as another vampire charged at him, narrowly avoiding the attack. He then took aim with one of his pistols and sent a bullet into the demon's kneecap, causing it to crumple to the ground screaming in pain.

Knowing that the injury would only keep the vampire down for a short time he made a break for the gates of the cemetery. His hope was that if he could make it out he would be able to give the bloodsuckers the slip, or at the very least get somewhere more crowded. But once again luck was not on his side as a hand grabbed his collar and threw him back into the tree he had been leaning against early that night.

"You're a hell of lot more feisty then the bitch was," the vampire said as he gestured at the grave the young woman had risen from.

"What can say, I believe in working for your meal," Xander shot back as he drove his knee into the vampires groin, causing him to fall to his knees in pain, only to have another vampire drive it's fist into the side of his head, once again sending him crashing to the ground.

"Now you die," the vampire said as the other four gathered behind him. The vampire then bent down and grabbed Xander's collar, lifting him into the air. Before the vampire could start its meal it felt on odd sensation in its chest. Looking down he saw an odd-looking arrow sticking out. "Oh hell," the demon muttered as he crumbled to dust.

"Leave him alone!" a man's voice called from the shadows. Looking around both the vampires and Xander saw five figures clad in different colored spandex suits step out of the darkness, the one in pink caring a bow with an arrow identical to the one that had killed the vampire notched and ready to fire.

"Who the hell are these clowns?" one of the vampires asked as the figures approached.

"No idea," said another.

"We're the Power Rangers," the red figure called out as he pulled a longsword out of nowhere

"Let's kill them anyway," a third vampire said with a sneer as he and the other three vampires charged them.

Not wasting time, the Pink Ranger launched another arrow at the vampires, striking the leader in his shoulder and causing him to stumble but quickly regaining his balance. When the vampires got close the Red Ranger struck out with his sword and neatly decapitated another of the vampires. Seeing two of their kind killed drove the remaining three vampires into a rage and they swiftly began to attack.

While this was going on a groggy Xander was trying to pull himself to his feet. "You okay there cutie?" a voice asked as a hand wrapped around his arm and helped him to his feet.

"Gonna be really sore in the morning," Xander replied as he got to his feet. Looking up he saw that it was the Pink Ranger that had helped him up, and that the other four Rangers were walking up to him, all that was left of the vampires were piles of dust. He took a second to take in all that had happened and then to look over the Power Rangers.

All in all he wasn't overly impressed, but then considering all the things he had seen and done since he had met Buffy two years ago, not much phased the young man anymore.

"What the hell were those things?" the Red Ranger asked, looking his friend over.

"Those were Vampires," Xander replied as he went about retrieving his guns and knives.

"Vampires?" the Blue Ranger asked, shock in his voice.

"Yup," Xander replied as he slid his guns back into their holsters and went about looking for his knives.

"You sure?" the Black Ranger asked as the watched Xander fumble around in the dark, looking for his knives.

"Oh yeah, been fighting them for about two years now," Xander responded as he finally found his knives.

"Well, looks like there taken care of, you gonna be ok?" Yellow asked as Xander walked back over to them.

"Yeah, I should be able to make it home alright," he replied.

"Alright then, we're out of here," Red said, and seconds later all five of the heroes disappeared in streams of light that matched their costumes.

"Neat," Xander said before he began a slow treck out of the graveyard, his head still pounding from the beating he had taken from the vampires. What seemed like days later but was really only two hours, Xander climbed into his bedroom window and after cleaning and putting his weapons away, dropped into bed.


"And then he said that they were Vampires," Billy reported to Zordon and Alpha. Once the Rangers made it back to the Command Center they used to the Viewing Globe to make sure Xander got home okay and then reported on what had happened to Zordon and Alpha.

"Interesting," Alpha said as he turned to one of the many computer consoles in the room and punched a few buttons.

"So what do we do now?" Kimberly asked as Zordon as the small robot continued his work.

"RETURN TO YOUR HOMES, YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH TONIGHT," came Zordon's booming reply. "ALPHA AND I WILL INFORM YOU IF WE LEARN ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT."

The Rangers then all teleported back to their homes and returned to sleep, all except for Kimberly, who laid awake and contemplated the new information she had learned about her friend.


Like he predicted, Xander awoke the next morning sore all over. Pulling himself from his bed with a groan he grabbed some clean clothes and stumbled down the hallway and into the bathroom. After a hot shower, which did nothing to ease the soreness in his body, he grabbed his bag and made his way towards school, thankful that there was only a few days left before the school year ended.

"Hey Xan," a voice called out behind him.

Turning Xander saw Kimberly coming up behind him, who then joined him on the walk to their lockers. "Hey Kim," he replied as they reached their destination.

"So, how was your night?" Kimberly asked, Xander noticed that her usual upbeat mood had returned.

"Well, went for a late night walk, got attacked, and then got saved by the Power Rangers," Xander replied in an even tone, as if everything that had happened was no big deal.

The Pink Ranger held in a grin and plastered on a shocked looked as she turned to her friend. "Oh my god, you actually met the Power Rangers?" she asked her friend excitedly.

"Yup, and apparently the pink one thinks I'm cute," he continued as he grabbed his books and shut the door to his locker.

"Wow, look you at, you got superheroes all over you" Kimberly joked as she closed her locker and started down the hall, her friend right beside. All the while trying to hold laughter in.

Xander let out a little laugh over what his friend said. "Oh yeah, call me Xander, wooer of all super ladies," he replied, causing Kimberly to burst into the laughter she was trying to hold in.

Soon she was able to suppress her laughs again and was about to reply when the bell rang. "See you later?" she asked.

"You betcha,"


1 week later

"Ouch," Xander commented just after Jason had thrown him onto the matted floor of the Youth Center.

"You okay man?" Jason asked as he extended his hand and helped Xander to his feet.

"Oh yeah, just peachy," Xander replied as regained his balance. Shortly after his friends had found about how the Power Rangers had saved him Jason had offered to teach him martial arts, an offer that Xander quickly accepted. Although Xander did have a good knowledge of self defense left over from his night spent as soldier guy, he was never one to turn down the opportunity to learn more of a skill that could possibly save his life. Especially after what had happened with the vampires the previous week.

Although what Xander didn't realize was that Jason had offered to teach him for exactly the same reason. After learning what his friend did at night he decided to make sure that he had the most training he could get to help him. Especially after what Zordon and Alpha had discovered about Vampires. He had to suppress a shudder as he remembered everything his mentor had told him and the other Rangers about what happened in the world after night fell. The only unfortunate thing was that the Rangers mission was to defend Earth from Rita and her minions, but they had all agreed to lend whatever support they could to their friend and his own mission.

"Maybe we should call it a day, you seem a bit distracted," Jason said to his friend, who quickly agreed with the suggestion, he was, after all, getting tired of being slammed into the mats over and over again. The two then walked over to the table where Kimberly and Trini were sitting.

"Hey girls," Xander greeted his friends as he and Jason sat down.

"Your looking better out there Xan," Trini commented as Xander began to rub his sore shoulder.

"Doesn't feel that way," Xander replied, earning a laugh from the table.

"So, you guys happy that schools over for the summer?" the Asian girl asked as the boys both pulled out water bottles and sipped from them.

"Oh yeah," Xander replied as he sipped from the bottle.

"Any big summer plans?" Kimberly asked, taking a sip from the smoothie in front of her.

"Not really," Xander replied as he capped the bottle and put it back in his bag

"Well, I'm sure we can think of something," Trini said, already formulating plans for what the group could do over the break.

Xander was about to reply when his watch alarm went off. Looking down at it his watch he let out a curse before quickly rising and grabbing his bag. "Sorry guys, I got to go," he said as he rushed out the door of the Youth Center before any of his friends could ask why.

"I am so late," Xander muttered as he rushed down the streets of Angel Grove. After his family had left Sunnydale Xander had noticed a remarkable change in his parents. No more would he come home from school and find empty bottles of alcohol lying on the floor, and it had been weeks since his father had gotten mad at him without a good reason. Xander didn't know how or why it happened, but for the first time in years he was happy with his family, so he wasn't complaining.

This was part of the reason he was rushing home. In an attempt to try and mend some of the damage they had done to him over the years, his parents had decided to institute a weekly family dinner, they both knew that this wouldn't work to fix all of what they had done to their son over the years, but they hoped that it would be a good start, and Xander appreciated the fact that they were putting forth an effort to make things up to him.

Deciding to take a shortcut through the park Xander stopped short when he heard a scream a little ways off. Once again cursing he rushed off in the direction the scream came from, pulling his twin daggers out of the hidden sheath in his bag as he did.

Moving closer to the scream he peeked through the bushes and saw several odd looking grey people attacking a park full of kids and their parents. His annoyance at the situation quickly grew to rage as he saw one of the grey men running at a screaming little girl.

With a cry of rage, the young man burst from the bushes and intercepted the grey man and tackled him to the ground. He was about to drive one of his knives into the thing beneath him when he was grabbed from behind and thrown through the air. Although, unlike the previous week with the vampires, Xander was ready, remembering what Jason had taught him, he readied his body and when he hit the ground he rolled backwards and sprung up to his feet.

Quelling his rage and listening to his common sense, Xander looked at the things around him. There were six in total and they hopped around him almost like monkeys, he suddenly remembered a news report he had seen that had stated creatures were called Putty Patrollers and were the shock troops of the crazy witch that was constantly attacking the city.

Not letting his guard down Xander moved into attack the closet one. Moving quickly he dashed up to one of the Putties and slashed at it with one of his knives and was shocked when his knife didn't even leave a mark on the creature.

Launching a kick at the Putty he grunted in pain when his foot connected with the things chest, it felt like he had just kicked a brick wall. "What the hell are you guys made of?" Xander asked as he jumped back to dodge an attack, only to be taken off guard by another one.

The Putty grabbed Xander from behind and threw him over to one of its companions that then kicked him in the chest and sent him to the ground. "Why can't I ever catch a break," Xander muttered before quickly rolling to the side to avoid a fist whose intent was to crush his skull.

"Ask and you shall receive," a voice called out before several beams of light hit the Putties and sent them flying back. Looking in the direction the blasts came from Xander saw the Power Rangers walking over, all of them holding odd red guns in their hands.

"Need a hand?" the Pink Ranger asked as Xander got his feet.

"Why not," Xander replied as he dusted himself off. The five superheroes then quickly spread out and attacked the Putties.

Moments later the six creatures were laying on the ground, grasping various injuries on their bodies before they all disappeared in flashes of light. The Rangers then walked over to the young man.

"So, why is it that we're always saving you from trouble?" the Black Ranger asked the young man in front of him.

"Cause I always end up in trouble when I am trying to help people," Xander said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Then why do you always help, eventually your luck will run out," Blue stated as he crossed his arms.

Xander let out a sigh before looking up at the blue clad hero. "Guess I'm just a White Knight," he said, the title instantly brining back bad memories.

The Red Ranger nodded at this. Beneath his helmet Jason, although knowing Xander only a short time was able to quickly tell that he was the type of person who would do anything he could to help another person. This is what gave him a deep respect for the young man, a respect that only continued to grow as he got to know him better. "Just try watch yourself from now on," he finally just before he and the other Rangers teleported away.

"That is so cool," Xander commented before looking at his watch again. Letting out yet another curse he then ran over to where he dropped his bag, stashed his knives inside, and sprinted home as fast as he could.


The next morning Xander was woken from a peaceful sleep by his mother pounding on his door. "Xander, phone!" his mother called as she continued to pound on the door.

"Okay okay," Xander called back as he reached for the phone by his bed and picked it up.

"Hello," Xander said, stifling a yawn.

"Hey Xander," a female voice said back.

"Cordy?" Xander asked in shock.
