Exposed
Disclaimer: Born from the fact that nearly every Ranger team out there that kept their Ranger sides a secret should have been exposed ten times over by the media when they de-morphed cause of a monster's strong attack. Like Rito's for instance when he practically wiped out the Zords in his first appearance. Unless I'm remembering incorrectly anyway.
Summary: Rito's defeat of the Rangers causes them another problem they really weren't needing.
"Tonight, not only is Angel Grove left in shock, but the rest of the world as well following the Power Rangers' latest battle against the Forces of Evil currently inhabiting the Moon. A battle that not only saw the Power Rangers lose, but also saw the destruction of their Zords that when joined together, form the Megazord. Fear is high in the air as there is no telling what Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa have in mind next, or even when they will attack again while the world is left without its defenders. But what is perhaps most distressing is that not only did the Power Rangers lose, but their very identities were revealed shortly after being forced to evacuate the Megazord. Its uncertain if they are even aware of this development but it does beg the question of how six teenagers were able to become Power Rangers. Not to mention why teenagers when adults that are far more capable would have been far better and less worrisome. No one, not even the parents of the six teens have heard from or even seen the six teens since the end of the battle and we can only hope that they are truly okay and will come home soon. This is Pat Marls with Angel Grove News."
"Oh man, that's not good." Winced Tommy as he and the others turned away from the Viewing Globe.
"Yeah, you're tellin' me." Mumbled Kim as she had a feeling her family was freaking out like crazy.
"Zordon, is there anything we can do about this?" Aisha wondered in a worried but hopeful manner.
Unfortunately, Zordon could only shake his head in the negative. "Short of time travel or use of magic, both of which could have grave consequences, I am afraid not, Aisha. This very well could have been a plan of Zedd and Rita's so that you six would be revealed and be sidetracked with that while they were able to do as they freely pleased. Of course, its entirely possible this was an unintended side effect of their latest attempt to take over Earth."
"Either way, everybody knows about us and we're pretty much screwed." Noted Rocky bluntly.
"But for now, we can't worry about that if we're gonna find Ninjor so we can get his help against Zedd and Rita." Adam added while wondering if he and the others would be able to at least convince their families that they were the right choices for being Power Rangers.
Granted, even if they tried moving out of the area, it wouldn't prevent any of them from just teleporting back to the Command Center. Unless of course, their families figured out what the so called watches were for. But even then, Alpha could just as easily still teleport them regardless. "Then its imperative we begin the search for Ninjor immediately. And then worry about our parents and any possible responses from the Government."
Everyone gave a nod of agreement to Billy's words as he stared at the map Zordon and Alpha 5 had given them earlier. Alpha himself headed towards a control panel and got to work on placing in the coordinates to the Desert that Ninjor made himself a home in. Once that was done, he spoke up. "The coordinates are in, Rangers."
"Then lets get going." Tommy declared while pushing any worries about his family and public reactions to the side for the time being.
As now wasn't the time for it. The six teens grouped up and looked up at Zordon, who looked back. "Good luck, Rangers, and may the Power protect you."
They all nodded and were soon teleported out, leaving Zordon and Alpha 5 on their own. Both hoping the Rangers would be successful in locating Ninjor.
Author's Notes: If and whenever I do a second part of this, it'll feature more public reactions and the like. Hope folks liked!
