Enjoy chapter 3!


For a few brief moments, not a single word was exchanged between Demitri and the soon to be 'Rangers'. It was as if the group of teenagers needed a few seconds to officially process what had just been said to them, with the young prince simply waiting in an awkward silence for them to respond.

Paige was the first to speak. "Pardon?" she asked.

It appeared that she started a chain reaction.

"Come again?" Finn said almost immediately afterwards

"Sorry, what?" Eve responded.

"What did you just say?" Aaron enquired.

"I don't think I heard you right…" Sean told him.

Demitri sighed, a deep, weary sigh. He just lost his knights and it appeared his replacements were as green as the grass in the castle gardens when it came to understanding the concept of fighting evil.

'Today is not a good day for me.' He thought.

"I'll say it again. You five have been chosen to become my team of Power Rangers," he informed them. "Our aim is to locate the evil sorcerer Kale and bring him to justice."

"Erm…I have a question." While scratching his head, Aaron asked, "What's a Power Ranger?"

Demitri sighed once again. 'This is going to take a while.' he thought.

"'A Power Ranger' is the name given to a legendary warrior, similar to my knights in Rosenstorgh. They have the ability to channel magic at an extraordinarily powerful level. This magical advantage allows them to access a source of power known as 'The Morphing Grid' much easier than normal mortals. This then causes them to 'morph' as they tap into the grid and change their form, becoming what is known as a 'Ranger'." He told them, gasping for air at the end of his recital.

"…In plain English?" Finn asked tentatively.

"Don't you ever watch the news?" Eve responded. "The Power Rangers are those people in multicolour spandex that go out and protect cities from giant monsters and stuff."

"Seriously?!" Finn exclaimed. "You want us to become that!?"

"Why us?" Aaron asked cautiously.

"You are the descendants of my knights." Demitri said. "The same knights who joined me here and helped me create the Ranger powers using their magic. In this world, it appears magic does not exist—"

"You sure got that right!" Sean interrupted, before getting jabbed in the ribs by Eve.

"Erm…" Demitri trailed off, now wondering if these descendants really were Ranger material. "Anyway, since magic does not appear as common as it was in my time, you are the only ones with the slimmest chance of tapping into the morphing grid, due to your lineage."

"So, it's to do with our genetics?" Paige said. "It's not even our choice?"

"You can choose to do whatever you wish to." Demitri responded. "However, if you love your life as it is now, and you consider those around you as precious then I suggest you take up my offer."

"How do you know we're truly your 'knights' decedents?" Sean asked. "How do you know we're not just some random teenagers who stumbled upon you in the woods?"

"Well…" Demitri began "there are plenty of reasons why I can be sure that you are my knight's descendants. One being the mystic aura you've all been giving off since we arrived here. It appears that our interference in this time has caused some of your dormant powers to be unleashed."

"Like, a recessive gene being allowed to affect the body? Like an illness?" Paige asked, still unsure of the logic of her own explanation.

"Perhaps?" Demitri replied, tilting his head and narrowing his eyes. "Um...what's a 'gene'?"

"Anyway!" Sean announced, getting bored of all the strange questions and even stranger answers. "You're saying we have powers, yeah? What do we do about them?"

"You train them, of course." Demitri told him. "If you do not, they will run rampant and cause destruction. If you do, you can control them, and even enhance them if you wish to."

"Enhance them?" Aaron questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"All will be revealed if you come visit me tomorrow." Demitri answered, running a hand through his curly brown hair.

'I need time to complete the morphing devices…' Demitri thought 'In order to ensure that they will be complete tomorrow for them to use I can't afford to waste time answering their questions.'

"I'll be here, waiting for you." He continued. "If you wish to know more, see me then."

The group of teenagers were about to demand more answers from the boy in strange clothes when something happened to get Paige's attention. Although she could tell it was in the distance the brunette heard the school bell ring as clearly as if she was inside the classroom.

She looked behind her, towards the direction of the sound. This caused the rest of the group to stare at her rather irrational movement. She turned back, saw the confused gazes of her fellow classmates and blushed deeply with embarrassment. "D-did anybody else just hear the school bell ring?" She asked them. The blank expressions of the teenagers told her all she needed to know. "Ok, just me then…"

When the five teenagers turned back to speak to the boy, they discovered that he was gone.


After picking up his younger siblings from school, eating dinner with his family and washing up the cutlery, Aaron lay down on his bed.

He looked up at his room's ceiling and was soon lost deep in thought. "Power Rangers…huh?" he muttered to himself.

Apparently his mutterings were loud enough for one of his younger siblings to hear from outside his door, a second later Aaron found all of the air escaping rapidly from his lungs as he was being crushed by the kid jumping on his stomach.

"You know about the Power Rangers!?" Lawrence demanded, continuing to bounce on their older brother with glee.

"Yeah, I do." he replied. "So what?"

"'So what'? 'So what'?!" His sibling exclaimed, now bouncing on his brother with more force than ever "The Power Rangers are like…the coolest thing ever! They protect everyone from the bad guys! I wanna be a Power Ranger when I grow up!"

"You do?" Aaron said, sitting up and looking at his younger brother with interest.

"You bet!" He exclaimed, jumping off of the bed and running out the room.

'That Demitri kid told me that if I consider those around me precious I should become a Ranger.' He pondered. 'Is that what he meant? To protect my family I've got to protect the Earth?' He fell back on his bed, tucked his hands under his head and smiled a little. 'If that's what I've got to do, I guess protecting the Earth is my duty now.'


The moment Paige got back from school she went upstairs opened up a few textbooks and began studying.

For some reason, she always felt that studying helped her calm her nerves and straighten things out in her mind. Or, in this case, distract her from addressing the events from earlier that day.

However, this time Paige just couldn't concentrate. Her mind kept focusing on small details, like the smell of the cook's homemade soup, or the sound of the helper's footsteps as they cleaned the hallways. In the end, she gave up.

Sighing, Paige closed her textbooks and put down her pen. In the end, she knew that she'd have to face the mental debate eventually.

'Why me?' She thought. 'I never asked for this! All I wanted out of life was to get good grades, see my parents more often and eat more of the cook's meals! I never wanted to be a Power Ranger! Besides, I've already got way too much to do during the day. I wonder how I'll be able to juggle school council meetings, homework, school work and extra studying whilst being a spandex-wearing superhero! No chance!'

'Still…' A small thought in the back of her mind uttered. 'You've always wanted to do something of true importance. Surely this is the opportunity you've been waiting for! You can finally make some friends and stop worrying your parents! Think of how proud they'll be!'

'No chance. I can't imagine them being cheerful about seeing my grades drop. Plus, they don't know about my social life. With them always being abroad, my grades are the only thing they can infer about me. There's no way I'll jeopardise that! I—'

'You can try both, you know.' That small voice told her. 'There's nothing stopping you from at least trying…'

Sighing once again, Paige stood up, and made her way downstairs to grab some food, confident she'd made her final decision.

'Well, I guess trying something new won't hurt…'


Finn needed no mental jousting to make his decision.

As soon as the teenager with boyish features muttered the words 'Power Rangers' he was in on the plan. He had always loved the idea of doing something greater than himself, something for the good of mankind.

'Here is my opportunity!' He thought merrily as he walked along the empty road. 'There's no way I can pass up a job as cool as a 'Power Ranger, defender of all mankind from evil'! This is going to be so fun!'

As he walked off of the road and made his way down the small, eroded path he began to think more about the people he'll be working with...if they accept.

'Sean and Eve are going to be going at each other's throats half of the time…' He pondered 'It's a shame that they hate one another so much, I think they're pretty similar in truth. I'm sure eventually they'll end up tolerating one another as co-heroes! Heck, maybe they can turn into something more, with a little push from behind…'

'Aaron's always been kind to those around him. He's pretty responsible and can think well on his feet. I'm pretty sure that Demitri guy will make him the leader of the group. The question is: will he be up for the task?'

'Maybe it's because of her upbringing or something, but Paige has always been the class loner. She won't speak unless spoken to, and pretty much denies your existence if you interfere with her personal bubble. She's smart though, probably hasn't even needed to study to get top position in the class. I'm not so sure about her…. Will she even try to get along with us "common folk"?'

Before he knew it, Finn had already arrived at his destination. He stopped in front of the tombstone and bent down to brush away some of the dirt from the message upon it.

"Here lies Jennifer and Donald Webb. Loving parents of Finn. The two left well before their time upon this Earth. May their soul rest in eternal peace knowing of all the lives they saved in their lifetimes." He read aloud.

'I never liked the way they phrased that tombstone.' He thought 'I'd say it's pretty ironic that two paramedics died in a car accident trying to get to another family in the same situation.'

'Being a Ranger will make them proud. I'll get to help people, just like they did.'


Eve couldn't concentrate properly at work.

She couldn't understand why, but every time she tried to take an order instead of listening to the customer she just ended up thinking back to her meeting with the boy in the woods.

It wasn't like she needed much convincing. She had always wanted to be a superhero, as all children did when they were younger. For some reason though she'd never really given up on the childish dream, and now that the chance had been handed to her on a silver platter, she wasn't going to let it slip through her fingers.

'This is going to be so cool!' The brunette thought as she washed the smoothie glasses behind the counter. 'Although, that idiot Sean is going to be doing this whole 'hero' gig too…I hope he decides it's not worth his three brain cells all that work and drops out! Ha! Well, even if he is going along with this, it gives me the perfect opportunity to show him just how different we two really are…'

Once she'd finished washing up, Eve hung up her apron, grabbed her school bag and tightened the straps of her roller blades in preparation for going home.

As she hummed quietly to herself, the owner of the bar, Mr. Pike, walked in.

"You've been in a good mood all afternoon!" He commented, wiping down the countertop. "Did something good happen today?"

"You have no idea!" Eve told him cheerfully as she rollerbladed her way out of the café.

"I'll see you tomorrow then, Eve!"


Sean returned to an empty house.

As he shut the door and placed his house keys in the bowl beside the door as always, he dumped his bag and walked into the living room.

As he turned on the television, Sean saw a news report flash on the screen. Sean normally ignored the news, as indeed his adoptive brother, Finn, did also, but the snide comment Eve made that afternoon made him decide to watch the programme for at least a few minutes.

"And today marks the 20th anniversary of the first of multiple attacks on the city of Angel Grove, marking the birth of the world wide renowned team of superheroes: 'The Power Rangers'." The rather dull sounding female news reporter announced.

Sean drowned out the rest of the mind-numbing reporter's speech as his mind wondered off to different places.

'Are the Power Ranger's that famous?' He pondered 'I'm going to be one of them? That's so cool!'

After a few brief, sweet moments of self-gratification washed over Sean, he began to think more in depth about his new 'role' as a Ranger.

'This is going to get me so many chicks!' He inwardly cheered. 'If they knew I was a Ranger on top of all of my other qualities…wait. Is this Ranger thing under a secret identity? I didn't hear that news anchor say any names, and that was 20 years ago…'

His mood had turned sour after that last thought, and in turn his little musings began to mutate into much lengthier, sour ramblings. 'You've gotta be kidding me! This Ranger gig is secret!? Not only do I have to work with that smart-ass Eve, but I also can't even brag about my superiority when it comes to fighting in public?! What kind of joke is—'

Taking deep breaths, Sean managed to return himself to his regular cool composure.

'Whatever.' He thought. 'I guess saving the world will be ok without having all the credit…at least I can irritate Eve, though…ha.'


Kale watched as his subordinates used their magic to make a hideout. Sure, he could do it himself but that would require a lot of energy and he was unsure of what could happen to him in this time. Not yet.

"Kale," Thresh walked over to him, "we are done."

The sorcerer moved towards the hideout and he sighed once it came in sight. "You two have this simple task of making a hideout and you come up with a cave of ice and fire?"

"It is our dominant magic, Kale. Even we are afraid of what could happen in this time." Thresh explained.

"Still! It was a simple task! I hope you two did a better job for the inside." Kale shook his head and followed his general.

Aruki, as much as she loved her commander, couldn't help but want to answer back. 'You could have helped us, Kale!' She followed them inside and hoped for the best.

It was pretty decent: an ice chair on top of a molten platform in the far side, weapons on the other side and a table. There were three doors on one side, bedrooms.

Kale nodded in approval. "Better. Better." He eyed the table and waved his hand, a globe appeared. "Until I learn more about this time, we will use that as our 'eyes'."

"Excellent, Kale." Aruki remarked. "But what do we do about Demitri?"

The sorcerer sighed. "Let me think, Aruki. I was not expecting him or his knights to follow us."

Thresh walked to the sorcerer. "Kale, I have a plan."


Demitri was pacing back and forth in the forest.

"Where are they?"

His feet and legs were getting tired but he couldn't bring himself to sit down. He's been waiting for a long time. He knew he should just leave but the thought of Kale roaming around was just too much and he needed the teenagers' help, he couldn't do it alone. He looked at the bag he was holding and sighed.

"Hi!" Someone greeted. The prince looked up and remembered him from yesterday. The dark skinned boy was smiling and waving at him.

"Where have you been?" Demitri demanded.

"At school...?" Finn used his thumb to gesture behind him. "You know, where every teenager goes to learn."

"School. That building? Does it take you this long to stay there?"

"Yeah. Eight hours, sometimes more. Weren't you ever in school?"

"I learned in the castle. Father did not allow me to go to the public schools. My sessions were only three hours a day, usually at night so that I didn't forget...at least, that's what superstitions say."

"So you never had any friends?"

"I had my knights, one of them your descendant. We were very good friends. Before Kale turned to the dark side he was my friend as well."

Finn understood him. He had a lot of friends in his old town, but then the accident happened and he was sent to an orphanage because all his other relatives were not in the family-oriented side. In the orphanage he didn't really make any friends because he was one of the youngest. "S'okay, Dem...itri?" The prince gave a nod. "It's okay, Demitri. I'm your friend."

"What's with all this friendship talk?"

They both turned around and saw Sean.

"You came." Finn smiled.

"Yeah, I've got my reasons." His adoptive brother said as he removed dirt from his shirt. "'Sup?"

"Are the others coming?"

"I hope so." Finn said.

A few minutes later, the five were finally complete.

"I am glad you all agreed to accept my offer." The prince said.

"It was a hard decision." Paige shrugged. "I just hope that it's the right one."

"If it was for the right reasons then I am quite sure that you will all believe it's the right choice."

"Okay." Aaron sighed, "I just have a suggestion. We can't keep meeting in the forest."

"That is true…" Demitri nodded. "But where do we meet?"

No one answered.

Paige shifted from foot to foot. "Um...well, my parents aren't usually home and my house is pretty big. Most of the time it's just me and my helpers and I have some extra rooms. We can use the practice studio and the other garage. If you have no place to say there's a room in the spare garage, I'll help clean it up since we can't tell anyone that you're living there…what do you think?"

"Perfect!" Demitri grinned. His boyish features were highlighted. "I'd gladly take it!"

"So, are we going to talk about this ranger thing or not?" Sean asked impatiently.

"Can you please be nice for once in your life?" Eve asked him.

"Funny coming from you," he retorted.

Before Eve could reply Aaron hushed them. He looked around and noticed an army that looked like knights surrounding them. "Who are these guys?" he asked.

Demitri growled, "Scriptans."

"Scriptans?" Finn repeated.

"They are forbidden. I am not surprised if this is Kale's doing. He must have stolen the scriptures from the palace to create them. They are evil knights."

"We can tell by their robotic red eyes." Sean said.

"'Robotic'?" Demitri tilted his head. "What is that?"

"We'll explain another time, Demitri," Paige told him. "How do we...um...run away from them?"

"'Run away'? You are the Power Rangers! You cannot run away!"

"Okay." Aaron said, taking on fighting stance whilst conducting a faint attempt to remember his 4th grade judo lessons. "How do we become the Power Rangers?"

But before Demitri could answer him the Scriptans advanced towards them and began to fight. Aaron quickly dodged one and kicked another. Paige clearly knew how to take care of herself, she seemed like an expert in the martial arts as she attacked and counter-attacked far more Scriptans that Aaron could count. Finn was just as good. With the dark skinned boy being into sports it was expected of him, but it was still a surprise to see the boy kick with such force. Sean and Eve though, had a lot of trouble. Not only did they keep crashing into one another, they would bicker about who crashed into whom.

Aaron punched one in the gut and kicked another one's head. Paige continued to fight like an action star while Finn tried helping his adoptive brother and lady friend.

"Can't we use our powers? I have force field!" Sean exclaimed.

"You don't know how to use it!" Eve countered, dodging a Scriptan.

It suddenly became cold. The floor became slippery and the trees seemed to freeze. "What kind of knights are you?" A gruff voice demanded. "Only two know how to fight and another two can't stop fighting themselves!"

They all turned to look at who spoke. A hairy, white monster with a large staff made from an icicle appeared. Demitri appeared to recognise recognized him as he muttered "Big Dome."

"That's right, my royal highness. I am Big Dome, monster of snow and ice. I come here in the orders of master Kale and general Thresh to destroy you and your knights."

"Not if I destroy you first!" He grabbed a few things from the bag and held it in both his hands, discarding the bag and throwing what was on his hands to the teenagers.

"Rangers! Use these!" He yelled, not even waiting for a response as ran straight towards Big Dome.
