As Serpenterra learned her way around the town, Chris and Chelsea were in their first class of the day, Physical Education. After spending fifteen minutes doing stretches, since it was the first day, the class was given a free day and they started shooting hoops.

Chelsea looked at Chris. "How about those new Power Rangers, huh?" She asked.

Chris nodded. "I'm glad they're out there." He said.

"Me too." She said as her basketball landed in the basket.

"Cheer practice is after school today, right?" He asked.

She nodded. "Same with football practice?"

He nodded. The two made small talk after that for the rest of the class. After class ended, Chris walked to his next class alongside Scarlett.

"Hey, Chris?" Scarlett said.

"Hmm?" Chris replied.

"If I tell you something, promise you won't laugh or call me crazy?"

"Sure. What's up, Scar?"

"The other day, I was walking by Cryptic Forest..." She started.

"Bold move." He said.

"...when all of a sudden, I started hearing some kind of strange noise from those woods."

"What noise?"

"It sounded like...whispering." She said. "Do you think the rumors are true? That the forest is haunted?"

"Well... I'll admit it could possible that the stories are true."

Scarlett and Chris walked into their Spanish class.


Serpenterra looked at a woman. "Excuse me." She said.

The woman looked at her. "Yes?"

"I'm looking for a high school."

"Well, there's Jasper High. If you go down the road, make a left then go straight for a couple miles, that's where you'll find the school."

Serpenterra smiled. "Thank you." She said then took off running towards the directions she was given.


Chris, DJ, Jordan, Brady, and Scott sat at a table when lunchtime came around.

"I still can't believe this." Jordan said, referring to them being Power Rangers.

"Well, we're the talk of the town." Chris said then pulled out a copy of the town's newspaper.

"How'd you get this?" Brady asked.

"Dude, my mother's editor-in-chief." Chris said.

"New Team Defends Town." Scott read aloud. "A new team of Power Rangers bravely defended our small town from strange humanoid snakes and prove that our townsfolk are in good hands."

"Always wanted to be on the front page of the paper." DJ said.

"It sucks that we can't tell anyone." Chris said, earning nods from his teammates.

Shannon walked to her brother. "Hey, Chris."

He looked at her and smiled. "What's up, Shan?"

"The school paper says we need an interview with the quarterback. Do you mind?"

"Not at all."

"Great. After practice?"

"Done."


As the Rangers headed back to their classes, Serpenterra was outside the school. She made sure she was hidden then contacted her ship.

"Are those papers ready, Claw?" She asked. In order to truly blend in, Serpenterra asked Claw to forge transfer papers for her to be in the school.

"Yes, my love. We're sending them to you now." Claw said then Serpenterra held the in her hands. She saw the name on the papers identified her as a girl named Tara Pierce.

She walked into the school and then into the front office.

"May I help you, miss?" The woman at the desk asked.

"I'm Tara Pierce. I transferred here from out of town." Serpenterra said.

"Papers, please." The woman said then the princess handed the papers over.

After studying the papers for a couple minutes, the woman looked at Serpenterra. "Everything seems to be in order. Welcome to Jasper High, Ms. Pierce."

"Thank you." Serpenterra said with a fake smile.

The woman printed out a schedule for her then Serpenterra went to the science class Chris and Jordan had.


Chris and Jordan, along with the rest of the class, looked up and saw the princess enter the classroom.

"May I help you, young lady?" The science teacher asked politely.

"...I'm Tara Pierce, sir. I'm new here..." Serpenterra said, sounding shy and nervous.

"Well, there's an open seat next to Mr. Rudy." The teacher said.

Serpenterra nodded then sat next to Chris.

"Welcome to hell." Chris teased in a whisper, earning a quiet giggle from Jordan.

"...Thanks. I'm Tara." The princess said.

"I'm Chris. Little Miss Giggles next to me is Jordan."

Jordan smiled and nodded at Serpenterra.


After class ended, Chris and Serpenterra went to the fourth and final class of the day, Math. After attendance was taken, the math teacher told her students what the semester would focus on. After that, she let them have time to talk.

Chris turned to Serpenterra. "So, Tara, where are you from?"

"Uh, out of town. I only arrived here yesterday." She said.

"Hmm. If you want, my friends and I could show you around."

"...Sure." She said. "Local?"

He nodded. "Born and raised." He said. "Where's your house?"

"...Other side of the woods."

"Cryptic Forest?"

She nodded.

"Dude, if you live near those trees, you're brave. "

"Why?"

"Rumor has it that that forest is haunted."

"Really?"

He nodded. "Story goes a couple people went hunting in those woods couple hundred years ago. Only one came back."

"And the other?"

"Folk say she was killed by something in the woods." Jim said. "Everyone in town knows the story."

"I'm new in town."

"Tara, this is Jim Thomas. Jimbo, this is Tara Pierce." Chris said.

Jim kissed her hand.

"Should've given you a heads up, Tara. Jim can be a bit of a ladies man. He can charm the pants off any girl he meets."

"It just comes natural, Cap'n." Jim said.

Serpenterra looked at Chris. "You're a captain?"

"Of the Jasper High Tigers football team." Chris replied.


After class, Chris, DJ, and Jordan headed to the football field. Chris and DJ had practice football uniforms on. Jordan had on her cheerleading uniform as she walked to the cheer squad on the other side of the field. Chris and DJ walked to their teammates.

"Yellow-21! Red-18! Set! Hut!" Chris said then Jim snapped the ball to Chris who soon saw his fellow Ranger was open and passed the ball to DJ.


Serpenterra watched for a few minutes then contacted her ship. "Now, my love." She said.

Claw soon landed on Earth with Serpents. Everyone but Chris, DJ, and Jordan ran off towards the school. Shannon was hiding nearby when she saw her brother and his teammates not running.

"It's morphin' time!" Chris said.

"Yellow Dragon!" Jordan said then morphed.

"Red Dragon!" DJ said and morphed.

"Purple Dragon!" Chris said, morphing.

Shannon had a look of awe in her face as Chris, DJ, and Jordan summoned their weapons.

"Star Chakrams!" Chris said, holding his Chakrams.

"Fire Axe, baby!" DJ said, his Axe in hand.

"Lightning Daggers!" Jordan said, her Daggers ready. The three then charged the Serpents.


DJ swung his Axe at a Serpent and the foot soldiers hit the ground. "Let's see if these things have more power than we think." DJ said. "Fire Axe! Fire Wave!" He said then swung his Axe hard and a wave of fire shot out of the blade, knocking down several of the Serpents.

"Nice one, Deej!" Jordan said then jumped into the air. "Lightning Daggers! Electric Shock!" She said then lightning struck from the skies and his the Serpents she was fighting.

Chris threw one of his Chakrams and it came back to him like a boomerang and he caught it. "My turn!" He said then combined his Chakrams as one. "Star Chakrams! Star Blast!" He said and a beam shot from the star in his weapons.

Angered, Claw charged at Chris and struck him twice with his dual bladed spear, sending Chris flying to the side.

"Hey, ugly!" A voice said as a morphed Brady and Scott came running, and Claw turned to them. "Dragon Blaster!" He said, firing his sidearm.

"Fire!" Scott said, following suit. Both blasts sent Claw flying backwards.

"Thanks, guys." Chris groaned.

"You okay?" Scott asked as he helped the team leader up.

"Yeah." Chris said.

"Brother, the Magnifier!" Claw said.


From the ship, a red beam shot out and Claw grew to a big size.

"Your problem just got bigger, Rangers!" Claw said.

"How can we fight him now? He's huge!" Jordan said.

"Rangers, it is time to call on your Zords." Tyrannus told them. "Summon then combine your Dragon Zords."

"Okay, Ty." Scott said.

"Let's do it, guys!" Chris said.

"Dragon Zords, we summon you!" The five said as five mechanical dragons soon flew into view.

"Our Zords!" Brady said.

"Let's do it!" Chris said then the Rangers mounted the cockpits of their Zords.

"Dragon Zords, combine!" They said.

While still in flight, the Zords started circling. The Magic Dragon Zord's arms and legs inserted into the body while the Fire and Lightning Dragon Zords attached where the arms used to be and the mouths opened to reveal flawed hands. The Ice and Earth Dragon Zords' heads turned as if they were going to look up then attached at where the legs were for the Magic Dragon Zord. The Magic Dragon Zord's mouth opened and revealed a robotic face.

The Rangers appeared in five seats that matched their colors. "Dragon Megazord!"

"Wow! This thing is dope!" Jordan said.

"Yeah!" DJ said.

"Okay, guys. Let's skin this snake." Chris said.

"Wing Sabers!" The five said then pulled the Magic Dragon Zord's wing off to use as swords. They hit Claw with some powerful blows and kicks, until Claw couldn't take anymore.

"I'll be back, Rangers!" Claw said then fled.

"Dragon Rangers, we are victorious." Chris said.


After practice for football and cheerleading ended, Shannon did her interview for the school paper then they practiced driving for Shannon.

"By the way, your secret is safe with me, Purple Ranger." Shannon said.

"You saw?" He asked.

She nodded.

He slowly nodded back then when they finished driving practice, they went home for the night.


That's chapter three. Review and I'll post more chapters.
