Finding Good Help

"Now, Mark," said Deius, "you can't do this all by yourself, you need four other people, but you'll still be in charge."

"I think that I know where I can find them," said Mark.

"Good!" said Deius, "I suggest that you get going!"

Mark went down to the Angel Falls Recreational Center and approached the juice bar manager.

"Say," said Mark, "do you know anyone who is smart and knows karate?"

The juice bar manager pointed at an African-American young woman.

"Thanks!" said Mark.

"No problem!" said the juice bar manager.

Mark went to approach the young woman.

"I wonder what that was about?" said the juice bar manager.

Mark approached the young man.

"Hi!" said Mark.

"Is there something that you need?" asked the young woman.

"Actually, there is," said Mark, "how would you like to become a Power Ranger?"

"Go away," said the young woman, "I have better things to do!"

"I'm not kidding!" said Mark.

"Okay," said the young woman, "show me some proof that you are from the Power Rangers."

"Sure!" said Mark.

Mark presented a power morpher.

"What's that?" asked the young woman.

"It's a power morpher," said Mark, "I was not lying to you."

"My name's Felicia Andrews," said the young woman, "what's yours?"

"I'm Mark Johnson," said Mark, "I'm going to have Deius transport us to the base."

"Deius?" asked Felicia, "what kind of name is that?"

"He's an alien," said Mark, "he's a friendly alien."

"Okay," said Felicia, "I'm going to trust you. Take me there."

"Okay," said Mark.

Mark got on his communicator.

"Sigma X," said Mark, "two coming aboard!"

Sigma X teleported Mark and Felicia to the base. Felicia was astonished by the technology of the base.

"What is this base?" asked Felicia, "it's amazing!"

"It's the base of operations for the future Power Rangers Mythology team," said Deius.

"Mythology?" asked Felicia.
"You'll understand soon enough," said Mark, "first, I have to find more teammates."

Mark left the base. He went to the outside of the Angel Falls Recreational Center. A sign caught his eye. It said that there was a 3-on-3 karate tournament in the recreational center gym thirty minutes from the time which he saw the sign.

"I can kill three birds with one stone with this!" said Mark.

Mark went inside the gym. The bleachers were full, so he was forced to stand, like many others. A team clad in white entered in one side of the ring, and a team clad in black entered in the opposite side of the ring. The referee explained the rules, and they commenced fighting. The team in black ended up winning the match, the referee gave them a humongous gold trophy, and they began to gloat on their way to the exit of the building. Mark tried to get their attention.

"Excuse me?" asked Mark.

"Excuse me?" asked Mark.

"Whatever!" said one of the black team contenders.

Then Mark decided to shift his focus to the team in white.

"Hi!" said Mark.

"Is there something that you need?" said one of the white team contenders, "because we're definitely not in the mood."

"I'm not joking, but how would you guys like to become Power Rangers?" asked Mark.

"Hello?" said one of the white team contenders, "we lost the match; why would we become Power Rangers?"

"There's more to being a Power Ranger than winning a karate match," said Mark.

"Okay," said one of the white team contenders, "show us your base!"

"You asked!" said Mark.
Mark got on his communicator.

"Sigma X," said Mark, "four coming aboard!"

Then Mark and the three white team contenders found themselves in the Power Ranger base. They were also astonished by the technology of the base.

"Welcome, everyone," said Deius, "to the Power Ranger base. I am Deius, and the robot here is Sigma X. Welcome, let's get started. As of right now, we are facing two villains, Aror and Minar. They can be dangerous. Felicia, you will be the white ranger. Amanda, you will be the yellow ranger. Tim, you will be the blue ranger. Anthony, you will be the green ranger. And Mark, you will be the red ranger. When a monster grows giant, or when the situation warrants, you will pilot mythical animal vehicles known as zords. Felicia, you have the pegasus zord. Amanda, you have the griffin zord. Tim, you have the cerberus zord. Anthony, you have the chimera zord. And Mark, you have the centaur zord. Together, they can form the Mytho Megazord, which wields the powerful Mytho Sword. Along with a small sword and a blaster, each of you has your own individual weapon. Felicia, you have the pegasus lance. Amanda, you have the griffin daggers. Tim, you have the cerberus spear. Anthony, you have the chimera bow. And Mark, you have the centaur sword. Together, they can form the Mytho Blaster. It is a weapon that freezes monsters in their tracks. Now, each of you has a specific power. Felicia, you have the power of electricity. Amanda, you have the power of wind. Tim, you have the power of water. Anthony, you have the power of earth. And Mark, you have the power of fire. Are there any questions?"

They looked at each other and said nothing.

"Good!" said Deius.

Sigma X handed each of them their Mytho Coms and their Mytho Morphers.

"What are these?" asked Amanda.

"The Mytho Coms are the watch-like devices. They will be you devices for communicating with each other and us. They will also allow you to teleport. The Mytho Morphers are your morphers. Just say, 'Extreme power', and you will morph into your respective ranger," said Sigma X.

"Cool!" said Tim.

The alarm began to sound.

"What is that noise?" asked Felicia.

"That's the alarm," said Deius, "it sounds when there is trouble. Right now, some Planet Patrol soldiers are harassing the citizens of Angel Falls. You all can take it from here.

"Right!" said Mark, "it's morphin' time!"

"Extreme power!" said all five rangers.

The rangers arrived on the scene. They were having a rough time fighting the Planet Patrol soldiers, and then Tim saw two Planet Patrol soldiers collide and disintegrate, so Tim decided to try an experiment. He put two Planet Patrol soldiers together, and they disintegrated.

"Hey, guys!" said Tim, "put them together! That's how you defeat them!"

The others had a hard time discerning Tim's message, but then they got the picture. Their fight with the Planet Patrol soldiers became much easier. However, they weren't able to defeat all of the Planet Patrol soldiers, because Aror took the remainder back to the base.

"Yeah!" said Mark, "get out of here!"

"Who are these freaks of nature?" asked Aror.

"They call themselves the Power Rangers, Aror," said Minar, "they fight for good! They're annoying!"

"Whatever!" said Aror, "I will not allow these freaks to stop my conquest of Earth. I will be victorious, no matter what it takes!"

"Good job, rangers!" said Deius, "however, the battle is won, but the war is far from over. We cannot let Aror get a foothold in any part of this Earth. If we do, that would be bad. As Power Rangers, we mush realize that we are always on duty. We can't let Aror do anything! Now, there are a few rules that you need to follow as Power Rangers. Fight fair. Work as a team. Keep all identities secret. And finally, don't use your powers for personal gain. Can you do that?"

They all responded affirmatively.

"Great!" said Deius, "then, welcome aboard! Feel free to make this base your second home!"

They all smiled, and went to hang out at the Angel Falls Recreational Center.
