PRWC 3- "The Birth of a Wild Force"
"I am small
And the world is big
But I'm not afraid of anything"
~ "How Does It Feel?" Avril Lavgine
After I got out of class I headed back to the Academy to see if I could go see Anna's band. I got there and went in my parents' office.
"I have a favor." I said.
"Ok, what?" Dad asked.
"I want to go to Cyberspace tonight and see Anna McKnight's band." I said.
"I don't have a problem with it." Dad said.
"Problem with what?" Mom asked coming in.
"Har wants to go to Cyberspace and see Anna McKnight's band tonight. You can cover her dorm checks for one night right?" Dad asked.
"Um…I guess so." Mom said.
"Mom, what's the matter? Every time you hear the name 'McKnight' you turn pale." I said.
"That's a very good question, what's the matter? Is there something that happened between you and Conner we don't know about?" Dad asked.
"No, of course not. I'm going to check on Liss…excuse me." Mom said taking off.
"I don't believe her." I said.
"I don't either. There's something she isn't telling us and I'd like to know what." Dad said.
"Me too…anyway I should get going. See you later." I said kissing my dad's cheek and taking off.
I got to Cyberspace and saw Josh sitting at a table.
"Hey Har!" he called.
"Josh, hey."
"I see the wardens let you out." He joked.
"Yeah, I got a night pass." I laughed.
"Did you hear that Hayley is handing over Cyberspace to her daughter?"
"No I didn't."
"I guess her daughter just left a messy marriage or something so she's moving back to Reefside and Hayley said she could manage Cyberspace."
"But Hayley will still own it?"
"I think so."
"Hey guys." Ethan said walking up.
"Hi Ethan." I said.
"I'd like you guys to meet my daughter, Savannah James, Savannah this is Harley Bradley and Josh McKnight." Ethan said.
"Nice to meet you Savannah." I said.
"Yeah, likewise." She said. She seemed to be looking me over, I kinda felt like I was under scrutiny.
"So Savannah, how old are you?" I asked.
"27, you?"
"18"
"Harley!" Anna cried running over and hugging me.
"Anners!" I said hugging her.
"I'm so glad you could make it." She said.
"Me too. Oh, Anna, this is Ethan's daughter Savannah, Savannah this is Josh's sister, Anna." I said.
"Hi Anna." Savannah said.
"Hey. So you're Ethan's daughter? Don't really look much like him." Anna said.
"I'm adopted." Savannah said.
"Oh…do you know who your birth parents are?" Anna asked.
"I know who my birth mother is…she's someone I'd rather not know though." Savannah said.
"A real bitch eh?" I asked
"You could say that. She's just selfish and self centered and thinks she's the center of the world. I want nothing to do with her." Savannah said.
"Sounds bad." I said.
"Savannah, you have work to do." Ethan said pulling her away.
"She seems cool." I said.
"Yeah…anyway I have to go get ready for my set. I'll see you later." Anna said taking off.
A few minutes later Anna started her set. 30 seconds into the intro the power went off and I noticed that there was some green light coming over the city outside. Anna put her guitar down and ran to our table.
"Um, guys…this doesn't look normal." Anna said.
"This looks like Ranger business." Josh said.
"Agreed. Let's check it out Anna." I said as we ran outside. Sure enough there was a space ship that was radiating a green light.
"What the hell?" Anna asked.
"My thoughts exactly." I said, "Who are you?!" I called. A green light started to take form in front of us.
"I think we're about to find out." Anna said.
"I am Arissa and I have come to claim the Earth and extract revenge on the Queen and Princess of Saturn." The being said.
"Um, Har…wouldn't that me you and your mom?" Anna asked.
"Yeah." I said looking Arissa over. "Sorry babe, not gonna happen…Genesis Evolution!"
"Neo Change!"
Anna and I morphed and took a fighting stance.
"You are not worth my time now but I will be back and I will win." Arissa said beaming back up and ascending her ship into the sky.
"Ok great…I think we need to warn your mom." Anna said.
"I agree. Let's go tell Josh what's going on." I said as we went back in.
"Josh! We need to get to the Academy now." Anna said.
"Why? What's wrong?" Josh asked.
"We'll explain on the way." I said as we all piled in Josh's car and went to Starlight. We went to my parents' house, it was a house they had build right on the outside corner of the school grounds. I banged on the door.
"Harley? What's wrong?" Dad asked.
"We have to protect Mom! This alien being named Arissa said she's after the Queen and Princess of Saturn." I said.
"She did, I heard her." Anna confirmed.
"Ok, slow down…" Dad said as Mom came out with Felicity.
"What's going on?" Mom asked.
"Well…" I started as a green light shone down on the school.
"Oh no, it's her again…there's no time to explain." Anna said.
"Ready to morph?" I asked.
"Ready." Anna said.
"We have to protect the students. I'll go get Julie and we'll round everyone up in the lodge, give you more battle grounds." Josh said.
"Ok, thanks." I said, "Dad, get Mom and Liss to safety, they aren't safe here."
"I'm not going anywhere." Mom said as I saw an army of these robot looking things invade the school.
"Har, we need to take care of this." Anna said.
"With you." I said. "Genesis Evolution!"
"Neo Change!" Anna called as we went to fight.
Michelle
OK so some weird alien was after me…again…
"It's time Mich…" Hunter said.
"No Hunter…there isn't anyone capable of it." I said.
"We've got to find someone…Josh, Har, and Anna can do it." Hunter said.
"That still leaves three." I said.
"We'll discuss it on the way to the lodge. We need to get Liss over there." Hunter said picking our daughter up. I picked up a purple and crimson box and followed them.
April
As if my life couldn't get any more messed up, my school was under an alien attack.
"Are they going to hurt us?" Tiffany asked and Julia ushered us to the lodge.
"Yeah, they'll take us and anal probe us." I said sarcastically.
"April, enough…had anyone seen Harley?" Julia asked.
"No…" I said as I saw Derek, Chris, and Jesse with Josh.
"Let me at them!" Chris cried trying to get outside to fight the aliens.
"Chris, enough, there are people working on this, just stay inside with your group." Josh said uniting us in one corner of the lodge.
"Hey Chris, rough night?" I asked.
"Why do you want to fight the aliens?" Tiffany asked.
"Some excitement." Chris said.
"You don't know how to do it. I'll get us out there to fight the aliens." Derek said.
"Oh yeah, go for it big shot." Chris said.
"Watch and learn." Derek said getting up and walking over to Josh, who was the only one watching us now, Julia had gone over to the Windchasers, "Hey Josh, one of the Cardinals is escaping through the kitchen."
"Oh really? Who?" Josh asked.
"I don't know…the blonde girl…" Derek said.
"Amy? Oh no, she's a run risk…" Josh said running towards the kitchen.
"See, now let's go take out those aliens." Derek said.
"That was luck…" Chris said.
"You wanna go or not?" Derek asked.
"Let's do it." Chris said following Derek as they slipped out the door.
"Hey Jesse, aren't you Derek's buddy? You have to shadow him." I said.
"But he is breaking rules." Jesse said.
"So are you by not following him." I said.
"Well…ok." Jesse said going after them.
"See ya Princess." I said.
"Where are you going?" Tiffany asked.
"To fight aliens. I'm not letting the guys have all the fun." I said heading for the door.
"Wait, don't leave me here alone…" Tiffany said following me.
"You think you can hack it?" I asked.
"I…" Tiffany started as we got outside and saw the boys fighting the aliens.
"Woo hoo! About time we got some real fun here!" I cried as I joined in.
"Oh, no! Help!" Tiffany cried as she ran from the aliens, kicking one every now and again in the process.
We fought for a while but then the aliens started to win, we were getting out butts kicked.
"Ok, not what I had in mind." I said.
"Let me go!" Tiffany screamed.
"Hands off the Princess." Chris said trying to get free himself.
Michelle
As Hunter and I got closer to the lodge we saw the Wildcats fighting the aliens.
"Oh no…" I said.
"This is bad." Hunter said.
I looked at my box. "Hunter, we have to…"
"Them? Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." I said opening the box. "Wildcats!!! Catch!" I cried throwing each of them a Morpher.
"What is this?!" April asked.
"Put it on your wrist and call out 'Wild Cat Transform!'" I called.
"Why?" Tiffany asked.
"Don't ask question Princess, just do it!" Chris said.
"Wild Cat Transform!" they called as they morphed into a new team of Rangers.
"No way…" April said.
"Power Rangers?" Tiffany asked.
"Pink…how perfect for you." April, the new Yellow Ranger said.
"Um, now might be a time to fight…" Jesse, the new Blue Ranger said.
Hunter took Felicity to the lodge while the new Rangers fought off the attack. I helped out as well.
Eventually the aliens gave up and I was faced with five very confused Rangers.
"OK, I guess you want an explanation…go to my house. Let me round up Harley and Hunter and I'll meet you there." I said.
I got Josh to watch Felicity then Hunter, Harley, Anna, and I went to my house.
"Mom, what's going on, why are they Rangers?" Harley asked.
"Good question." April said.
"Ok, ok…Harley, when we moved here Hayley told us of a technology she developed that would power a team of Rangers…she entrusted Hunter and I with guarding it until it was needed. When I saw these five fighting I knew they were meant to have the power. Wildcats, you have been chosen to become Power Rangers, it's a great responsibility not to be taken lightly, if you aren't up for it say so now because the fate of the world is on the line." I said.
"I'm in." April said.
"Yeah, why not." Derek said.
"Count me in." Chris said.
"Of course. I will be glad to help." Jesse said.
"Not a chance, no way." Tiffany said.
"Oh come on…this will be good for you Princess. She's in." April said.
"April, she must decide for herself." Hunter said.
Tiffany sigh, "OK, I'm in."
"Ok then, April, you will be the Yellow Ranger and control the Cheetah Zord and Cheetah Daggers. Chris, you will be the Black Ranger and control the Jaguar Zord, a crossbow will be your weapon. Tiffany…" I started.
"Wait, Princess can't get a weapon, she might use it on herself." April said.
"May I finish?" I asked.
"Yeah sure, I don't mind." April said.
"Thank you. Now then, Tiffany, you are the Pink Ranger and will control the Panther Zord and the Panther Baton."
"No sharp edges…perfect for her." April said.
"And a Pink Panther Zord…how cute." Chris mocked.
"May I? Jesse, you will be the Blue Ranger and control the Cougar Zord and have a blaster for your weapon. Finally, Derek, you will lead the team as the Red Ranger. You will have the Tiger Zord and Tiger Sword." I said.
"Um, forgetting someone?" Harley asked.
"I didn't forget, I'm not done. These are our five Rangers, but I can't expect you five to be Rangers without any sort of guidance. Harley, you have been a wonderful Ranger for the past three years and I am proud to have passed my Purple power down to you. I now pass on something else, you will be the second Ranger Trainer. As the Purple Ranger, in control of the Lion Zord and Staff weapon you will be responsible for Training this new team." I said.
"Awesome! New powers!" Harley said excitedly.
"Way to go Har." Anna said.
"Anna, I'm sorry I have no power for you, but your Neo Powers are still active and I'm sure the Rangers will be happy to have your help from time to time." I said.
"No problem. I'm happy to have my normal life back anyway." Anna said.
"OK then, are there any questions?" I asked.
"I'm too overwhelmed to even think of questions." Jesse said.
"Well then let me fill you in on the rules. 1) Keep your identities secret. 2) Do not seek a battle, let it find you, and do not escalate it. 3) Never use your powers for personal gain." Hunter said.
"Understood." Derek said. It was the first time since he'd been here I saw him look serious about something. Maybe this crazy idea of having our students as Rangers would actually work.
