Tyler groaned as he tossed and turned in his bed. His cellmate, a black boy with dreadlocks cursed him out.
"Stay still you moron." He shouted.
Tyler looked at his cellmate. "What the hell did you just say to me?"
"Calm your tits you wannabe Drake." He cursed.
Tyler jumped up. "You want to mess with me then hope you can put your money where your mouth is."
The boy leaped up and tackled Tyler. He put his hands on his throat and growled.
"This is how things work. My name is Ashtin, I practically run this block, so if I ask you do something you say yes sir." He said.
He pushed his palm hard in Tyler's neck, making harder for him to breathe.
"Do you understand?" Ashtin asked.
Tyler nodded. Ashtin removed his palm and Tyler gasped for air.
"What the hell are you two doing?" A guard asked.
Before either of them could answer he pressed a button on his watch and they were both met with a shock if electricity. Like last time Tyler didn't feel a thing. Ashtin however screamed in pain. The guard chuckled and left.
"You're faking it." Ashtin said in between breaths.
"Faking what?" Tyler asked.
"Don't play dumb with me. You weren't hurt by that shock." Ashtin accused.
Tyler gulped and then nodded. Ashtin smirked as if he was suddenly interested in him.
"Okay newbie what's your power?" Ashtin asked.
"I do stuff with lightning and metal." Tyler revealed.
"Electromagnetism." Ashtin corrected.
"That too." Tyler said dumbly.
Ashtin face palmed and sighed. "I am surrounded by idiots."
He walked over to Tyler and examined him. "With some training I think you could be our ticket out of here, maybe you can even impress your girlfriend."
"I don't have a girlfriend but there is this one girl, she is amazing, her name is Tiana." Tyler said.
"Before you get a boner, if you're talking about Tiana Jones, she's my cousin." Ashtin snarled.
Tyler gulped. He didn't like the look Ashtin was giving him, like he wanted to tear him apart.
"She's your cousin." Tyler said awkwardly.
"And she has a boyfriend you home wrecker." Ashtin said.
"I'm not a homewrecker." Tyler defended.
"My bad maybe I'm using the word wrong, what is called when someone tries to break up a happy couple?' Ashtin asked.
Tyler groaned. " God I am a homewrecker."
"Get the hell away from me." Josie yelled.
Hawk watched the girl as she thrashed and tried to break free from her handcuffs.
"Calm down Josephine." He said.
Josie, being the person she was, spit in his face. Hawk jumped as her spit him right in the eye. He growled as he wiped it away.
"Josie we are family and I demand that you show me some respect." He said.
"You kidnapped me and my friends, you are so lucky that I can't break free, or I would drag your creepy ass." Josie snarled.
"Do you know how many people during your ranger battles? Or how many people are injured by enhanced beings. A boy in Olympia killed his entire family with a thunderstorm!" Hawk yelled.
"We are helping the world by doing this." Hawk said.
Josie frowned. "And what about when monsters show up? We protect people." Josie defended.
"Since when was it a good idea to turn innocent kids into super powered child soldiers." He said.
Josie frowned. "You are selfish and sadistic. You can eat a-"
"Josephine! I figured you would appreciate our line of work, after all your father helped build this organization." He smiled.
"You're lying." She hissed.
There was no way her father would be a part of something so awful. He was a good man. Is, Josie corrected herself. Her father was still alive, she believed it with all her heart.
"I think we both know I'm telling the truth. This is the family business, maybe you want to follow in his footsteps." He smiled.
Billy Cranston sighed in relief as he kicked back in his beach chair near his pool. His husband and their kids were with a relative so he had the house to himself all weekend. Before he could relax fully a loud knock was heard at the door. Billy got up cursorily and walked over. Before he got there the door was kicked in and it flew several feet back.
"Sean you really need to work on your super strength." A female said.
"Go easy on him Madison it was an accident." Another girl said.
"Keep in mind I have only had these powers for two days." A boy said.
Billy looked at the group. "What are you guys doing here? And why did you break my door down?"
Sean blushed. "It was an accident."
Kimberly stepped out from behind them. Billy gasped. It had been years since he'd had seen anyone on his team. Yet here Kimberly was standing here with a group of superpowered kids.
"Hi Billy." She said nervously. "We need your help."
Suddenly Billy thought back to when they were teenagers. How many times had they saved the world together? Seeing her here today was surreal. Suddenly he felt like a sixteen year old boy again.
"Hi Kimberly...um are the others with you?" Billy asked nervously.
Why was he so nervous. Was it because he hadn't seen his old friends in years? Logically it made sense. Their was always a chance their friendship would end. They came from different backgrounds, they were starting to get to the age were you separate yourself from your child friends to get ready for college, and it got to the point where the only thing they talked about was being a power ranger.
Or maybe he was just making excuses.
"No it's just me. It's been so long...I don't even know how to reach the others." Kimberly said awkwardly.
Everyone stood there, feeling uncomfortable in the awkward silence.
"So Mr. Blue Ranger, our friends have sort of been kidnapped, and we were told you were smart enough to find them." Madison said.
Billy frowned. "What do you mean kidnapped?"
"Well you see there is this evil organization filled with butthurt people who hate Power Rangers and Enhanced Beings." Gondu said.
"Enhanced?" Billy asked curiously.
"You know super powers. Normal humans are gaining abilities." Gondu said.
Billy shook his head. "Evil government organizations and mutants? Wow, I really have been out of the game for some time."
"Do you think you can help us?" Z asked hopefully.
She needed to save the others. She couldn't even imagine what they were going through right now.
"I have an idea, do any of you have a morpher with you?" Billy asked.
Madison showed him her armband. "Right here doc."
"All morphers are connected to an energy called the Ranger Grid. Not only does this allow us to morph but it allows us to communicate with other rangers. I can use the grid to track wherever your friends are." Billy said.
Everyone sighed in relief. "Thank god." Z said.
Sean smiled, he was going to see Jaxon again. Everything was going to be okay.
"Focus loser." Ashtin said.
Tyler grunted as he tried to summon his electricity. After five minutes of straining he couldn't even summon a tiny spark.
"You're useless." Ashtin snarled.
Tyler looked up at him and glared. "I've literally had this power for a day, so can you stop being such a prick."
"I'll stop being a prick when you actually do something useful? You don't deserve those powers." Ashtin snarled.
Tyler growled. "Shut up."
"What's wrong? Scared to hear the truth? You don't deserve those powers and you certainly don't deserve Tiana." Ashtin growled.
"I said shut up." Tyler yelled.
"You're entire life everything was probably handed to you and now you're scared to work?" Ashtin asked.
"I SAID SHUT UP!" Tyler screamed.
His eyes glowed silver and his veins glowed. Ashtin stepped back and grinned when he noticed his plan was working. Getting people angry always produced the best results.
"All that anger you're feeling, all that lighting building up inside of you, release it. Send it through the whole building." Ashtin said.
Tyler screamed and unleashed a wave of silver energy. All of the lights exploded and soon all the power was gone. Ashtin and Tyler looked at their cell, which was opened by itself. He noticed one by one every cell door was opening.
Tyler grinned in relief when he cut the power off. He was able to save the others, with his power. Well almost save them. He still needed to find them.
"Yo Wannabe Drake, we gotta go." Ashtin said.
Tyler nodded. He and Ashrin ran out their jail cell. They were instantly surrounded by former rangers and enhanced beings. Tyler looked and saw people morphing and powers being activated. Soon guards were swarming.
"We got company!" Tommy yelled.
He was currently in a black power ranger suit. Tyler looked at the guns. He could feel the metal in them. He focused on the connection and pulled on the connection. The guns were yanked out of their hands. He closed his fists and the guns exploded. Everyone looked at him in shock.
"Finally you do something useful." Ashtin said.
"Did you forget how I helped us escape." Tyler said.
Before Ashtin could object, his name was called. He turned to see the rest if his team and Diamanda running to him.
"Katie!" He said relieved.
He ran over and hugged her. Andy looked at them and crossed her arms. "What are we? Chopped liver?"
"Don't worry, you don't mean that much to me." Ashtin smirked.
"And as always Ashtin you are America's sweetheart." Andy said.
"Missed you too pinky." Ashtin said.
The guards pulled out swords that cackled with electricity.
"Looks like we're going to have to fuck some people up." Andy said.
Aang summounded the dragon aura and it hissed. It unleashed an explosive blast that threw them back.
"That a boy Aang, I knew you weren't a complete pushover." Diamanda smirked.
She summounded a blade made out of energy and looked at her enemies turned allies.
"I hope you all know that after this I plan to kill you and everyone you love." She said.
"It wouldn't be a normal day if you didn't." Katie smiled.
Ashtin turned and looked at the robots. "Now, let's fuck some people up."
Calev screamed as the the doctor activated the machine. For hours he would force Calev to endure visions nonstop.
"We're almost done Mr. Blue, just show me what I want to see." He said.
Calev shook his head. He tried to form a sentence, but he was in too much pain. "I...cant….c-on-"
"I already know you're going to whine to me about how you can't control it. But I suggest you find a way Mr. Blue." He said.
Calev screamed as he was forced to have another vision.
He was in the desert.
"Calev go." A female voice said.
He turned and saw Z standing right behind him. "They'll torture you again if they find you. As long as you have your power, they'll always come after you."
Z held out her hand which glowed with a purple light. "Go Calev. Run! I'll hold Hawk off."
Calev took off in a sprint. He eventually saw Aqua who was looked traumatized.
"Aqua what's wrong?" Calev asked.
Aqua pointed behind him. Calev turned and he gasped at what he saw. Z was standing over Hawk's dead body.
Calev wasn't sure what exactly happened. He was pulled out of his vision, for some reason. He turned to look at the doctor, who seemed confused as well.
"The power is off."
"That sucks, now all the prisoners are probably free." Aqua sighed. The doctor turned and gasped.
"Why don't you take a vacation to Antarctica." Aqua smiled.
She created a portal right underneath his feet. He screamed as he fell in. Aqua ran over to Calev and started to free him.
"Don't worry Calev, everything is going to be alright."
Tiana was surprised when the power was cut off. That meant all the prisoners were free. And that also meant that she could use her powers. Several guards ran towards her. She smirked. She waved her hand and they were all flung backwards. She stared at their guns and made them snap in half.
"You all won't be hurting anyone today." She smirked.
"Our mission was never to hurt you, it was to keep you distracted so that the Weapon can get ready." One soldier said.
"What weapon?" Tiana asked.
"Hey baby." A voice said from behind her.
Tiana turned and saw Alex looking at her. Only it didn't seem like her boyfriend. It wasn't the usual warm look that he would give her, it was sinister and terrifying.
"This is like the second time in a week that my boyfriend has been mind controlled." Tiana groaned.
Alex grinned. "Well you won't live long enough to worry about that."
He burst into flame and charged.
Next Time: Everyone prepares for an epic battle, Apocalypse begins recruiting teens.
