Power rangers Thunder force #27 Zanek's legacy chapter 3: The mission.
Power rangers is the property of Saban.
Zanek is floating in a blank area with his eyes closed.
"I am Zanek. I am 300 years old. 230 years ago I was part of a team of heroes using the force armors."
A group of men and women are running along a path in a forest. One of the men motions for the others to hide behind a tree.
"The main base should be less than a mile from here."
The man brings up binoculars and looks forward.
"Okay that is confirmed."
The man takes checks his sword.
"Are you all ready with your powers?"
The others nod in acknowledgement.
"That was the last mission he lead us on."
""And now for episode 27.""
"It all began when I was leading a simple life on my home planet. One day a was forced to join the military of the planet."
A young Zanek is sitting and reading something. Suddenly the door is broken down and a bunch of armored men come storming in.
"Zanek. You have been chosen to join the military. You must come with us or suffer punishment."
Zanek puts his hands behind his head and quietly leaves his house with them. They lead him to the main headquarters and he is left in a stark clean featureless room. After sitting for an uknown period of time he is finally lead to a room. In the chair is a humanoid that looks similar to Zanek. He motions for the others to leave and they do.
"Welcome Zanek."
"I accept this forced joining under protest."
The man at the desk sighs.
"You and everybody else."
The man takes out a folder.
"You are probably wondering why you were selected. Despite what the opponents to this force joinging say, we don't pick people at random."
Zanek just stays quiet. The man opens up the folder.
"We have found that you have the qualities we need for our special unit that we are starting up."
The man pushes the folder towards Zanek. Zanek simply lowers his eyes to look it over.
"Thanks to a benefactor, we have gotten our hands on special armors that give the wearers powers over the elements."
Zanek notices pictures of men in strange armor with dual swords.
"We are putting together a team of warriors to use these armors. A team that goes when all else fails."
"And you think I can fill in a slot of that team?"
"No. I know you can."
The man flips the page and shows bios of 4 other people.
"These are the people that we have selected already."
The page turns again to show the last armor with nobody's picture yet.
"You will be the blue warrior and have control of the water elements."
"What if I don't want to do this? You can make me join the military but you can't make me join a specific part."
The man sighs and leans back.
"You are right and I can't really give you anything."
Zanek stands up.
"That's what I thought. Goodbye."
Zanek opens the door and nearly runs into an attractive young woman.
"Hey watch where you are going buddy." The woman pushes Zanek aside.
They both look up and their eyes meet.
"Janey?"
"Zanek?"
Zanek is suprised by a hard slap that Janey delivers then she shoves him aside on her way into the office.
"I'm here to answer the notice."
The door closes and Zanek touches the tender spot on his cheek.
"What the hell is she doing here?"
Zanek stands and contemplates. Suddenly the door opens up.
"Zanek, can you come back in for a second."
Zanek spins around and sees Janey sitting down smiling at him. He walks in.
"Yes?"
"I told Janey that we need you and I don't know what to offer you."
"And I came up with an idea."
A knot forms in Zanek's throat. The man hands Zanek a folder. When Zanek opens it up he sees information about him.
"If you do this one mission and you don't want to do it anymore, you can and we will help you go wherever you want."
"Why?"
"Cause we think that once you do a mission that you will want to stay." Janey stands up.
The man opens up the team folder and opens it up the blank blue ranger page again.
"Will you be the blue ranger?"
Zanek sighs.
"Okay fine. I'm in."
The man smiles. After months of training Zanek finally finds himself ready for his first mission. He and the 4 other rangers board a dropship and sit down as it takes off.
"Okay. This is our mission."
The red ranger takes out a pad that lights up with information.
"We have been ordered to drop near an enemy camp and infiltrate their base. This is only a fact finding mission. We are not to attack unless we are found out."
The black ranger fidgets a bit.
"Is there a problem Anny?"
"Sir permission to speak freely."
"Permission granted."
"I don't think we are ready for something this dangerous. You have to know that we will be found out and we will be outnumbered."
The red ranger frowns.
"Are you afraid?"
"No sir! Just concerned for the safety of the team!"
"We have been assured that we will be rescued if we are captured."
The red ranger smiles.
"Don't worry. We will do fine. We are the best of the best."
Zanek has been sitting silent the whole time contemplating this mission.
"Zanek!"
"Yes sir!"
"What do you think of this mission?"
"I am ready to get my hands dirty sir!"
"Permission to speak freely given. I want to know how you really feel."
"This is my first mission. I feel a bit more confident after all the training. But like Anny, I feel uncertain."
"Good. That's what I want to hear. And for your information, so am I. And I hope the rest of you do also. Uncertainty is what we are supposed to thrive in."
"Yes sir!" The other 4 all yell.
A suddenly shake of the ship reveals that it's entering the planet's atmosphere.
"We are 5 mintues from the drop point." A voice chimes out of the speakers.
"Okay were almost there. Are we ready?"
"Yes sir!"
5 minutes later the ship stops it's decent and the rangers leave the waiting bay and enter the drop bay.
"Are your weapons ready?"
The rangers show their swords and blasters and yell afirmative one by one.
The door opens up and the rangers jump out one by one with Zanek being the last one. They jump into the night and land on the ground softly with parachutes out.
"Okay stow those chutes immediately."
The parachutes are stowed away in a hidden place in less than a minute. The red ranger takes out a padd and turns it on. A map appears with a compass.
"The base is 4 miles north. Let's move it out!"
The 5 rangers all walk at a brisk pace one by one in formation.
