Hey people! Well, I'm not gonna hold you up with some long monologue about how my life is. You can ask though. Enjoy!
POWER RANGERS: MYTHOLOGY MASTERS
"Rick, hurry up in there! You're going to be late for your first day of school!" Jared Richard yelled at his son.
"Okay chillax, I'm coming!"" Rick said as he put the finishing touches on his hair and then grabbed his leather jacket and backpack. He came down the stairs and saw his parents in the kitchen with a bunch of paint swatches and his sister in her chair, waiting for their pop-tarts to be done.
"Jared," Kristin whined while holding up two of the colors. "I really do think that the cream would go better in the kitchen than the caramel."
"Kris, caramel just yells kitchen."
"He's got a point, ma." Rick said as he grabbed a pop-tart as it popped out of the toaster and caught the other with a plate and placed in front of Alice, who clapped delightfully at the trick before eating hers.
"Morning sweetie. You really think caramel would go better?"
"I guess, but I don't know why you guys bother painting, we're gonna be out of here before the New Year." Rick then went out the front door. "See ya later."
"Actually, Ricky…" Kristin said but then realized he was already out, she sighed and went back to looking at the paint colors.
Rick opened the compartment in his motorcycle and started to take out his helmet when he heard talking come from across the street.
"Come on, Joy-Joy. Let's give you the police escort." Carl said as he came down the steps to his house, with an excited expression on his face.
"Grandpa, really I can go without the police escort." Joy said as she came out the door.
"Nonsense, come on it'll be fun." He said as he got into the police car. Joy bit her lip, worried about how embarrassed she would be when they pulled up to her new school. Joy happened to look across the street and saw Rick. She slightly waved at him. He nodded back at her.
After what happened last Saturday, they all had exchanged information (turns out they were neighbors), but Rick hadn't made it official that he was gonna be their friend.
"Come on, Joy." Carl said once more, while honking the horn. Joy reluctantly got into the car as Carl put on the sirens and then they pulled out of the driveway.
Rick watched as they drove away. "Oh man, I hate to be her when she gets out of the car." He said as he put his bag into the compartment. He put his helmet on and followed them.

"I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I WANT, WHAT I REALLY REALLY WANT!" Kat sang loudly.
"SO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT , WHAT YOU REALLY REALLY WANT!" Rider sang loudly as well.
"I WANNA"
"I WANNA"
"I WANNA"
"I WANNA"
"I WANNA REALLY REALLY REALLY WANNA ZIGA-ZAG AH!" They sang in unison and then they looked at each other and burst out in laughter. Kat turned off the stereo as they pulled up to Artemuseon High School's senior parking lot entrance. Rider rolled down the window and looked at the security that made sure that no juniors tried to steal their privileges.
"Names?"
"Rider and Kat." The security guard checked his school-issued iPad to check the list of seniors.
"You two are not on the list." Kat and Rider sighed in unison. They hated using their real names, but looks like they had no choice.
"Riordan and Karen Tucson." The security guard checked the list again.
"Ah, here you are. You're in spot 12, near the front." Rider pulled their shared sky blue Lexus with gold interior into the space and they got out of the car.
"DUDES!" they heard someone call. They both turned to see Maxie skating towards them.
"Hey Maxie-Max!" Kat says as she and her twin give him a three-way fist bump.
"Can you believe it? We're seniors!" Maxie exclaimed as he put his skateboard in the back of the twin's car.
"I know it's about, now we can those senior perks, like parking spaces, senior lounge and end of year cruise."
"Life is Good." They all started walking towards the school, when Rider stopped short. Maxie noticed.
"What's up buddy?"
"I hear something." Rider said he held his ear. They knew he was referring to his new power.
"What is it?"
"I hear police sirens…" Then he looked very confused. "And an old man cackling."
"That's sound like Mr. M." says Kat very intrigued.
"I also hear moaning."
"What kind of moaning? Frustrated or embarrassed?" asked Maxie.
"The embarrassed kind." Then all of their faces dropped in unison.
"Oh man. Mr. M is giving Joy the police escort." Maxie says, looking very scared.
"He must be stopped. We can't have that girl be embarrassed on her first day of school." Kat said, hurriedly pulling out her morpher, which now doubled as her cell phone. "Call Mr. M." she said and the phone dialed the number.
About 2 miles away from the school, Joy is looking out the window, avoiding all eye contact with her grandfather. She knew for sure that if she showed to school like this, she wouldn't hear the end of it. She kept sulking until she heard a distinct ringing in the car.
"Gosh darn it, who would call now?" Carl said as he turned off the sirens. Joy silently thanked the gods. Carl turned on his Bluetooth and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"HEY MR. M!" said Kat, Rider and Maxie.
"Hello kids. What's up?"
"Umm… well we just wanted to say hi to Joy." Kat says, trying to think of things to keep the conversation going.
"Hi guys." Joy said cheerfully, catching on to what they were doing. "So, what's going on?"
"You know just chillin'," Maxie said not being able to think of anything else.
"Like a villain," Rider said pointing at Maxie. He caught on.
"Cause you can't fight feelin', and we are just willin', to in be in this business, so we can meet our princess, so don't you dis this, cause you don't want none… of… this. WORD!" They finish in a gangsta pose.
Carl has confused look on his face. "Okay, well kids I got to go. I'm in the middle of a very important assignment." He said smiling at Joy, who fake smiled back at him, her eyes full of fear. "See you there." Carl said as he started to hang up.
"WAIT!" screamed Maxie.
"What is it Maxie?" Carl said starting to get annoyed.
"Um…Um…OMG! What is that?"
"What is what?"
"That thing over there."
"What is it, Maxie? Just say it."
"I can't really describe it, can you guys?" Maxie said looking at his fellow miscreants, and winking.
"Yah, I can't tell from here." The twins said in unison.
"Well, we're here so I'll have to see for myself."
The trio turned to see Mr. M's police car pulling in.
"Name?" said the security guard at the gate.
"Joyce Marsden." Carl said as Joy looked at him weirdly. The security guard looked through his list and let them in. Carl parked in a spot near the entrance and he and Joy got out of the car. But, Joy stopped him real quick.
"Grandpa, last time I checked my last name was Carter. Why did you say it was Marsden?"
"Because we changed it. So you wouldn't have to remember… you know." Joy had a look of understanding on her face.
"Oh."
"Hey guys." Kat said waving at them.
"Okay kids what did you see?" Carl said as he and Joy walked over to them.
"That thing over there." Rider said pointing to something in the distance. Carl squinted his eyes, trying to decipher what it was. Then he looked back at the kids.
"That's a good question. I'll go investigate; can you guys show Joy around?" Carl said as he walked to his police cruiser.
"Sure." The trio said in unison.
"Bye grandpa." Joy said waving goodbye. Carl got into the car, waved back at Joy and pulled out of the lot. They all blew out a breath they didn't know they were holding, with a look of relief on their face.
"I can't believe he fell for that." Maxie says adjusting his backpack. They started to make their way into the school, when a motorcycle pulled into the lot. They turned around to Rick taking off his helmet. They walked over to him.
"Hey." Maxie said when they got over. Rick looked up at them.
"Hey." Then he went back to getting his stuff out of his motorcycle.
"So, do you want us to show you around?" Kat asked.
"Nah, I can find my way around." Rick stated as he walked pass them. The rest turned around to follow him; they were going to the same place anyway.
"Okay," Maxie said slyly "but we can tell you the main places where babes hang out." That stopped Rick right in his tracks. He then turned around to face them.
"Okay, how hot we talking on the guy scale?"
"Girls here are about 300." Rider states.
"Okay, I'm in." The guys then walk away to the school. The girls stand there awestruck.
"Typical men." Kat says, while Joy nods in agreement. Then Joy looks confused.
"What's the guy scale?" Joy asks looking at Kat. Kat looks at her as if she was an alien.
"It's how guys rate girls, like our girl scale."
"What's the girl scale?"
"You don't know what the girl scale is?" Joy shook her head no.
"I have so much to teach you." Kat said as she put her arm around Joy and they walked towards the school. The girls met up with the boys in the senior administration office. They saw the secretary sitting at the desk, looking as if she absolutely hated her job.
"Come in and get you're A-pads." She said pointing to the display of iPads next to the desk. They all went to the display and got the pad with their names on it and walked out of the office.
"A-Pads?" Rick said perplexed while looking at the devise. The pad in general was black with the red and gold school crest on the back and connected to the side was a red stylus with a clicker on top.
"Yah, one of the seniors last year told us about these." Rider started. "Achievements pads. They're supposed to have all the things we need to get through the school year. Our schedules, progress reports, map of the school, note takers, essay writer and even a specialized tutor app. Plus, you can also download games."
"This is gonna be awesome. There is this new Tony Hawk game I've been dying to play." Maxie said looking through the app store.
"Let's see," Kat said looking through her schedule. "I've got Mrs. Zachary's English class for homeroom. How about you guys?" She said looking at the others. They went to their schedules.
"Same. Alright sis, same first period 13 years in a row." Rider said as he hi-fived her.
"Well make that three." Maxie stated looking at his schedule.
"Four." Joy quietly updated.
"Five." Rick says, not looking too happy about it.
Suddenly, the quintet felt a cool wind blowing their way. They turned to look down hall. Coming their way were 5 girls walking in a straight.
The one in the center had a healthy tan color skin with blonde curly hair with pink highlights in pigtails. Her gray eyes greatly contrasted her pink outfit. The girl to her left had a very dark skin that complimented her black hair with red highlights in a ponytail and brown eyes. The only thing that seemed out of place were the braces that adorned her teeth. The girl on her right had a peach skin which magnified her bobbed cut red hair, brown eyes and her stylish green glasses. The two girls on each end were obviously twins. Both of them had a very light skin tone with blue eyes and brown hair which hung around their shoulders being held back by purple headbands.
They all wore the same types of leather jacket, "I'm soo cute" t-shirts, paired with plaid skirts and high heels but they were all in their respective colors.
"Who are they?" asked Rick staring at them in awe. Kat scoffed at his expression.
"The Lee Scene, the most popular girls in school. The two in purple are the bimbo twins, Julie and Kylie Donaldson. The girl in green is the somewhat decent and smart one, Emily Argile. The one in red is the athletic Polly Madison. Finally, the pink queen supreme is Ashley Burton, the dirtiest, low-life, completely snobby and all-around BI…"
"KAT! Not in front of the kid." Maxie said nodding his head towards Joy.
"Sorry, I just hate her so much."
"Well the feeling is mutual loser."
They turned to see the girls standing right next to them. Ashley looked at Rick and smiled at him flirtatiously before walking over to him.
"Well, hello handsome." She said fluttering her eyelashes at him. Rick just found it creepy.
"Hey…Weren't you guys going to show me and Joy around?" Rick said looking over at the trio, hinting them to get him out of this situation. But, Ashley wasn't going to let him get away that easily.
"Oh, I can show you around." She said as she hooked her arm around his.
"Nah, that's alright. We got it covered." He said pushing her arm off. "Let's go guys."
The quintet walked past them hurriedly. They didn't see Ashley glaring at their backs.
"He was cute." Polly scanned over his well-toned body.
"Back off!" Ashley emphasized to her. "He's mine." They went into the senior office.
About 2 halls away, the rangers were at their lockers, which were conveniently all next to each other in a line. Kat, Rider, Maxie and Rick opened theirs with ease.
"How does this thing work?" Joy said staring at the contraption in front of her.
"You never had a locker before?" Kat asked her, taking out her books and putting the bag in her locker.
"No, I was… homeschooled for most of my life."
"Let me show you how a pro does it?" Maxie said backing them away from the locker. He puts his ear up against the locker and then proceeds to bang his head on the door. It opened.
"Impressive." Rick said nodding at a job well done. Maxie took a bow as they all clapped for him.

"Idiots!" Hades said storming around his lair. "We were supposed to have control of the entire North Western Hemisphere at this point!"
"Yun." Said his subjects.
"I don't care about how powerful they are! Those little runts need to be destroyed!" Suddenly, the fiery pits around sent flames about 20 feet high, magnifying his anger.
"My Lord." A timid feminine voice near him said. He turned to see a beautiful woman with russet skin and green eyes and thick red hair that was pulled into a braid to hung down her back all the way to the floor. Her pure long white dress seemed out of place in the dark atmosphere around her.
"Persephone! What is it?! I am in the middle of my morning rant!"
"Sabtild requests an audience with you." She said bowing to him.
"Ack. This better be good." Hades mumbled under his breath. "Send him in." Persephone scurried back to the door and opened it. In came trotting a half man and half horse, better known as Centaur.
"My Lord. I say you are looking well today."
"Get on with it, Sabtild. I haven't got all day." Hades said he sat down in his skull covered throne.
"I have plot that will surely put an end to those rangers." Sabtild gloated.
"I'm intrigued. Go on." Hades said gesturing him to do so.
"Well, I have conjured up a machine that will have them running away at the speed of light. But that won't be enough to stop them from being crushed. I call it THE REBEL."
Once again the doors opened, but this time it was the whole wall opened up letting in a large black robot. The robot had a stone cold expression on his gray and black with a spikey Mohawk and spikey choker. But what stood out the most were its 12 feet tall black boots.
"Excellent!" Hades praised as he claps at the display while standing up. "Let's see it in action."
"Well, my Lord it is not ready quite yet."
"What do you mean!?"
"Well, it is powered by human fear. I need their hearts pumping adrenaline in order for my machine to work."
"Well, get out there with the demons. Stir up as much fear as you can."
"As you wish my Lord." Sabtild said as he bowed.

"So, what did you guys think of your first day at AHS?" Rider asked as the quintet parked in the town square.
"It's alright, better than any school I ever been to." Rick reported as he got off of his bike.
"For someone with no school experience whatsoever. I believe it was interesting." Joy replied in a questionable voice while getting out of the twins' car.
"What do you mean by interesting?" asked Kat.
"Well, I believe I saw one of the 'Lee Scene' girls engaging in a rather disturbing make out session with a Goth in the hall when I was trying to go to the bathroom during AP Economics."
"Ew."
"My thoughts exactly."
"Hey guys, what's that?" Maxie said looking at something in distance.
"Max, we're not doing this again." Kat said annoyed.
"No I'm serious, look" They looked to see a brand new structure that was not there on Saturday.
"Okay, that's new."
"Which is weird, nothing in Artemuseon is new. I mean, have you seen my textbooks? They could have been used by Joy's grandparents for all I know."
"Do you think we should get it out?"
"Absolutely." Maxie and Rick started walking towards the building and Kat and Rider followed.
"Wait!" Joy says really not wanting to go. "Can't we put it to a vote?"
They all stopped and turned around.
"Okay." Rider says "All for it?" the original walkers raised their hands. "All opposed?"
"Fine." Joy mumbled as walked past them. The rest of them followed. Joy pushed open the door to the establishment.
The inside looked like a restaurant. On the walls was a cream color that went with red booths and maple tables and chairs that went around the room. From the group's point of view, they could tell the owners weren't done from the paint cans all over the place and lack of utensils on the tables.
"Okay, this is definitely new." Says Rider as he walks in further in the shop.
"Yah, but where are the employees?" asked Joy as the rest of them followed.
"Glad you asked."
The quintet screamed and they turned to the counter that was next to the door. There stood Poseidon and Zeus. Zeus wore a red plaid shirt over a white t-shirt with khaki pants and black sneakers. Poseidon wore a sky blue plaid shirt over a white t-shirt with light blue jeans and brown work boots.
"Seriously, you dudes can't keep doing that." Maxie stressed to them.
"But, it's fun." Poseidon said as he walked toward them.
"Anyway," Zeus said trying to move the conversation along. "You are the employees."
"Lightning God say what now?" Kat said while looking at him like he was crazy.
"First of all, I'm god of the skies. And second, we created this place to have direct access to headquarters so you can train without us having to zap you guys out of the middle of nowhere to get you there."
"What do we get out this?" Maxie inquired.
"Well, you don't have to explain about your random disappearing." Maxie did not look impressed. "And 25 dollars an hour."
"Alright, now you got me."
"Us too." Kat and Rider agreed in unison.
"I'll do it." Joy informed.
"I won't."
Everybody turned to Rick, who had a torn look on his face.
"What do you mean?" asked Poseidon.
"I can't do this. Every three months, I move somewhere new just when I start to make friends. My parents said we may stay here for a while but I've been hearing that for the past 17 years. At this point, I know it's not gonna change." Rick walked out the establishment, leaving his former teammates in awe. Zeus caught the looks on their face and chuckled.
"Don't worry, he'll be back."
"How do you know?" asked Joy.
"Gods just know these things."

Rick was speeding home on his motorcycle thinking about what just happened. He did want to be a power ranger and want to be friends with them. But, what was the point. By the time they were truly friends, he would have to move to another city 3,000 miles away and probably never see them again.
He got home and then came into the house, only to find his family sitting in the living room, as if they were waiting for him.
"Rick," Jared said breaking the silence. "We need to talk."
"Okay, if anything illegal happened, it was not my fault."
"No you're not in trouble. We just need to talk you and Aly seriously for a moment."
Rick sat down on a couch next to Aly, who proceeded to crawl into Rick's lap.
"Now kids, you that we have been moving around a lot for the past few years. But that is about to change."
"Yah, right."
"Rick…"
"Really guys? This has been going on for years. What makes you think that this place will be any different?"
"This will be different." Kristin stressed "Mrs. Forney was over earlier this morning to buy some of my product, when I started talking about our location situation. She said that she would talk to her husband about it."
"And…"
"Mr. Forney called a little while ago and said that he would let us stay here for the whole school year at least." Jared gleefully stated.
Alice jumped out of Rick's lap and screamed as much as her little lungs would let her while jumping around the room.
Rick stood up and looked at his parents in disbelief.
"Wait a second. You mean, we're staying for my last year of required school?"
"Yup."
"And this year I can actually go to dances or join a club?"
"Precisely."
"And this year I can make friends?" This was the one he was most concerned about.
"Exactly."
Suddenly, Rick's look of disbelief became a look of pure joy.
"YES!" He screamed as he went to hug his parents, who were surprised by his action. "Thank you, thank you, thank you." He ran to the front door.
"Hey, where are you going?" Kristin asked.
"I got some friends to go see." Rick headed back to his motorcycle.

As Rick got closer to the center of the town, he could hear screaming amuck. He sped up more and parked next to place from earlier that afternoon. He ran towards the center of the screams while others ran away. When he reached his destination and saw his friends battling some demons with Rider facing off against a centaur. All weapons were out, but they still seemed to be struggling.
Rick ran into a nearby alley and took out his morpher.
"EARTHLY DISASTERS! MYTHOLOGY MASTERS!"
Rick is shown on top of a cloud, looking down at the world below. He then proceeded to flip off of the cloud with his knees tucked into his chest. As he fell, his body started to glow a pure white. He landed with his feet firm on the dirt. His suit materializes and a red energy glows around his head and leaves a helmet, with a rectangular shear black glass as a view to the world, in its place.
"RED MYTHOLOGY RANGER!"
"Give it up weakling." Sabtild said pinning Rider to the ground.
Suddenly from behind him, Rick was in the air with his sword held high.
"Hiya!" Rick slashed the monster's back, which caused him to hold his wound in pain. Rider was able to get up and the others ran over to them. "You okay?"
"Yah, but what happened to not wanting friends?"
"Turns out, I'm gonna be around here long enough to get some. And when I have a friend, I always got their back."
"Fools!" Sabtild screamed to them. "You have not defeated me yet, and my weapon is fully-charged!"
"His weapon?" Joy panicked.
"Oh yes." Instantly, the ground started to shake and from it arose a 42 foot robot. "Behold THE REBEL!" Sabtild turned towards the robot and jumped into it. "Prepare to be Squashed!" Sabtild lifted up one of the robot's large feet and had it hover over the rangers.
"MOVE!" Rick screamed pushing the others to do so. They rolled out of the way, just at the robot's boot came crashing down where they just were. The rangers looked at the large imprint the machine's boot left.
"Well, this is not good." Maxie stated.
"Rangers! Come in."
"We here ya, Zeus."
"Call upon your Zords."
"You got it."
They stood in their formation.
"ZORDS ARISE!"
On 5 different colored clouds far above them, 5 large mechanical animals awoke from their 500 year-long sleep after they heard their new masters call them.
The red crocodile roared signaling his colleagues to follow him. They jumped from their clouds to the Earth below.
The rangers looked up at the sky and they saw their Zords coming down from the clouds.
"AWESOME!'They rejoiced in unison.
"Let's get to it!" Rick initiated. They all jumped into their respective Zords.
"Crocodile Zord is ready to rock!" Rick settled into the red cockpit.
"Roe Deer Zord is ready to rumble!" Rider sat down in his yellow cockpit.
"Wild Boar Zord is ready to kick-butt!" Kat looked at the buttons in her blue cockpit.
"Panther Zord is ready to bring it!" Maxie held his hands on the green joystick.
"Owl Zord has taken to the skies!" Joy buckled herself into the pink chair.
The robot animals charge at the robot.
"HORN AND TUSK RAM!" Kat and Rider simultaneously pressed a half crescent shaped button in their cockpit. They pushed their joysticks forward and the speed of their Zords picked up. The roe deer and wild boar bent their heads exposing the sharp points of the projectiles. They collided with the robot, knocking it down in the process. But, it stood back up.
"OWL SPIN!" Joy pressed a tornado shaped button. The wings and the legs of the owl straighten in front of it. The head stood still as the rest of it span around slapping the robot's face. Even after the attack, the robot still stood. "Um… This isn't working."
"Hey, don't the rangers usually make a Megazord to win. Why don't we try that?" Maxie interjected.
"Yah! Let's do this thing." Rick established.
"MEGAZORD FORMATION!"
The girls' Zords folded down to create the legs with the heads as the feet. Rider and Maxie's folded into the arms with the heads as the hands. Rick's Zord folded into the torso of the machine. All the pieces connected into a large colorful robot. The head on Rick's Zord flipped back revealing a silver cyborg face.
"HERACULE MEGAZORD ARMED FOR BATTLE!" The rangers sounded in their combined cockpit.
"Oh, I'm shaking in my hooves." Sabtild's voice quivered a tiny bit.
"YOU SHOULD BE!"
The robots partook in hand-to-hand combat. The rangers' robot was winning.
"LET FINISH THIS!" They used their joysticks to create a propulsion the caused the Rebel to malfunction.
"CURSES!" The Rebel exploded.
"ALRIGHT!"
POWER RANGERS: MYTHOLOGY MASTERS
Rick held the tiny statuette of Sabtild, while they all laughed at it.
"Well guys, this is one of many victories to come." Rick predicted as he put Sabtild next to Hordan.
"So, you actually want to be friends with us." Joy inquired.
"Eh, why not? It's not like I'll get any better offers."
"How about The Lee Scene?" Maxie joked.
"Dude, that's not even funny."
"Rangers, we need you to come and help set up." Poseidon's voice echoed.
"Well, can't keep them waiting." The quintet walked out of the headquarters.
