Chapter 1
"We need those devices to work Dr. Holland, and we need them now." Colonel Hubert Douglas demanded. He is the leader of the G.E.S., which stands for the Global Eagle Scouts. It is a global protection agency that protects the world from threats from other worlds. When it was first established people thought that it was a waste of money. But right now they were preparing for a fight with the Black Cross Army and its emperor Moldark.
To the best of there knowledge, it was an alien army that has supposedly concurred several solar systems in the Milky Way galaxy. And they now have set their sights on the Earth as their next conquest. Truthfully the Earth wouldn't even know of their existence if it wasn't for a message that they sent to the Earth. Colonel Douglas hoped that this arrogance would be there downfall but right now he wasn't so sure.
"It can't be helped, sir. I've tried every power source that I know and they still don't work on the levels that we need them to." Dr. Nicholas Holland said to the colonel. Dr. Holland was the inventor of a technology that they hoped to use to fight the Black Cross Army. But no matter what power source Dr. Holland tried he couldn't make them work the way they needed them to. "That's why we're here Dr. Holland," I said as Ellie, Mayumi and I walked into the room.
"Hello, who are you?" Dr. Holland asked seeing the three of us. "These people think they may be able to help us with our problem." Colonel Douglas said. "Dr. Ellie Duan," Ellie said shaking his hand. "Dr. Saito Mayumi," Mayumi said doing the same. "David Hamblin," I said. "Do you really think that you can find the right power source for my babies?" Dr. Holland asked looking hopeful for the first time since he had been called in for this.
"Actually they believe they already have. Agent Vitagliano." Colonel Douglas said calling for one of his right-hand agents Agent Michele Vitagliano to bring in our equipment. She was a beautiful blonde woman who is a second generation American. She wasn't very tall but what she lacked in height she made up in guts and determination. She set our equipment down on a table that held the tech that Dr. Holland was working on.
"You have?" Dr. Holland asked looking happier then he had in days. "Yes, we have," I said opening the case and handing the girls somethings held inside. "Then why haven't we tried this power source before?" Dr. Holland asked looking at Colonel Douglas who told him that he had reached out to everyone that was working on any type of energy project the worldwide.
"Because this energy that we're about to use is very difficult to contain and control," Mayumi said as the three of us went to work adding the power to the devices that he had out. "It is so difficult that the first time that we MONITORED this energy. It caused that monitor to malfunction and caused an explosion." Ellie said as she went to work. "That explosion is the reason why I'm here with them right now," I said helping them with there work. "What do you mean?" Agent Vitagliano asked as we worked.
"Well, cutie pie..." all three of us said at the same time and then started to laugh at that. "When the explosion happened it released the very energy that it was monitoring in a wave that hit all three of us," Ellie said as she fiddled with some of the equipment that she was using. "And that wave caused us to among other things, live each other's lives," I said placing a new device next what Dr. Holland called the Squadron Morphers. "And that is why he's here with us. Because if you go back to his time in school you'll find that he was a B student that doesn't even have a high school diploma let alone went to college." Mayumi said looking the morphers.
"But once he was hit with that wave he lived our lives and we lived his so he now knows everything that we know and we know everything that he knows. That's kind of why we all hit on you because we all have the same taste in women. And you are a very beautiful woman." Ellie said looking directly at Agent Vitagliano, who blushed a little and smiled. "So you two are...lesbians?" Dr. Holland asked. "No, we're actually dating each other but we're open to the idea to more women joining our little group. But that's beside the point." I said moving around the girls.
"The explosion also made us a living part of that energy wave. So our aging process has stopped and we are connected to everything that uses that energy. Which is basically everything because a small portion of that energy is in every living thing. And that is how, with some difficulty, we were able to make the Morphing Grid. It is a way to channel that into something and use it the way you want to use it and help us out in this dire time." all three of us said taking turns.
"And because they are the only ones that can make this energy work for us they have to stay on as technicians and they're the ones that get to chose who we give these...MORPHERS to." Colonel Douglas said. "Why is that sir?" Dr. Holland asked. "One of the first things we learned about this energy is that in the wrong hands it could spell the end of the universe. So if we are entrusting this power to you we chose who gets it." I said as Ellie went up to them.
"Speaking about that Colonel we have the list of the people who we have chosen right here," Ellie said handing him the list. "Shouldn't this wait until you've finished your work, my dear?" Colonel Douglas asked smuggle and everyone in the room had a smile on their faces. "We've been done for a while now. The Squadron Morphers are working perfectly and waiting for their new owners." I said putting the last piece of tech back in the case that Agent Vitagliano had carried in.
"Really but you just started?" Dr. Holland asked. "It really didn't take much to activate. Most of the time we were adding a color scheme." Mayumi said with a smile. "1 is red, 2 is blue, 3 is yellow, 4 is pink and 5 is green," Ellie explained with a smile. "So could you please go get those names on the list?" I asked him with a smile matching the girls. "Wait there are only four names on this list." Colonel Douglas said looking at the list. "Yeah, we're going to get her ourselves," Mayumi said. "Her?" Agent Vitagliano asked looking at the three of us. "It's the pink one we think it should be a girl," Ellie said smiling.
"Do you know why we're here Rex?" Chief Petty Officer Percy Pearson asked. Gunnery Sergeant Rex Hogan is a second generation Japanese/American who has proudly severed in the US Marines for the past six years. "I don't know you limy Brit," Rex said to his friend. Chief Petty Officer Percy Pearson who is a British/American whose family moved to the USA when he was two. When he got old enough he joined the US Navy which he has been with for the past decade. "So I'm not the only one that was told to come here. Senior Airman Keith Gomez," he said introducing himself.
Keith Gomez who's family was of Latino descent and who was a part of almost every sport his family watched but mostly boxing, mixed martial arts, and archery. "No, you're not. Major Nick Logan," he said introducing himself. Nick's family has proudly served in the US Army for seven generations. "Do any of you know why we were called here today?" Rex asked them all.
"No, but we do," I said as Colonel Douglas, Agent Vitagliano, Dr. Holland, Mayumi and myself walked into the room. "Good morning people." Colonel Douglas said. "Good morning sir." they all said saluting the Colonel. "At ease." Colonel Douglas said to them. "Sir if you don't mind me asking why are the four of us here?" Rex asked. "I think you mean the five of us." Alessandra Arrabal or Alice to her friends said as she and Ellie walked in. Alice is a Puerto Rican/American woman who grew up poor but fought hard to earn everything that she has. "Alice, what are you doing here?" Nick asked her shocked.
"You two know each other?" Agent Vitagliano asked. "They should, they were engaged for about two years before they called the wedding off," Ellie explained to everyone. "What are the FIVE of us doing here sir?" Rex asked. But Nick couldn't take his eyes off Alice. He had thought they had worked everything out from when they had ended things. Now he was wondering why she hadn't told him that she had been contacted by the government.
"Well that's simple please watch this film. And we'll explain everything afterward." Colonel Douglas said and played the film of the Black Cross Emperor Moldark making his grand threat against the Earth. "So there you have it they will be here in a matter of days if not sooner." Colonel Douglas said to them.
"Are you even sure this is real? I mean look at that guy with the mask it looks kinda like a college kid made it in his parents' garage." Alice said looking at the Colonel. "That is a good question my dear, Agent Vitagliano." Colonel Douglas said to his right-hand woman. "My brother works in a satellite research facility and he found this signal. And the signal was tracked back to the source and it was coming from three million miles past Pluto." Agent Vitagliano said to the five of them. "So not a college student? Why are we here today sir?" Rex asked.
"Well, we have a way to fight them. You five are going to fight them using experimental technology that I have developed called the Squadron Morphers to become a fighting force called the Squadron Fighters." Dr. Holland said to the group. "That's lame. How about calling them Power Rangers Secret Squadron?" I asked. "No offense Dr. Holland but I like his name better than yours," Keith said to him with a general agreement from everyone else. Even Dr. Holland himself. "Why us?" Alice asked.
"That you are going to have to ask David, Mayumi, and Ellie because they're the ones who picked all of you." Colonel Douglas said looking at the three of us. "Well, it's simple really the five of you are all decent human beings. And this power that we're about to give you is too great if it were to fall in the wrong hands," I said with a shiver. "I don't want to think about it," I said to them.
"Gunnery Sergeant Rex Hogan with your sniper skills along with your mixed martial arts training you will be a great leader as the Red Squadron Ranger," Mayumi said with a smile. "Senior Airman Keith Gomez you are a natural athlete between your boxing, mixed martial arts and archery and all the other sports that you play. You will definitely put those skills to good use as the Blue Squadron Ranger." Ellie said smiling at him. "Major Nick Logan you are a weapons expert with martial arts training so you know when you need to be forceful and when to be peaceful. You'll be a wonderful Yellow Squadron Ranger." I said.
"Alessandra Arrabal or Alice while you are the only one here that has no connection to any military branch. But you've been working as a demolitions expert in the private sector for the past five years and thanks to your relationship with Nick who taught you martial arts. You have the skills to be the Pink Squadron Ranger." Mayumi said smiling at her. "And last but not least Chief Petty Officer Percy Pearson while you aren't as skilled in hand to hand as the others but you are a skilled thinker and out in the field that could save us all. So you'll do us proud as the Green Squadron Ranger." Ellie finished.
"So do you think you're up for this because we sure as hell believe you can. It's your choice." I said to them as we let them make their decisions. "I'm in," Rex said without a pause of hesitation. "Really? Why man?" Percy asked his friend. "Because I believe that not just our country needs us but our world too. And you can't beat the idea of being some kind of superhero." Rex said with a smile. "You're right I'm in," Percy said too. "Me too," Nick said. "And me," Keith said. Now everyone was looking at Alice to see if she was going to join them. "What is everyone looking at?" Alice asked with a small smile. "Are you guys waiting to see if I'll be the lone girl amongst this sea of testosterone. Well, the answer is...yes," she said with a smile.
