A Solarizing Beginning: Part 2
I do not own Power Rangers, Saban and Bandai do. However, I do own the
Solar Rangers and all things related to it.
It was six in the morning, Derek was snoozing in his bed when his mother suddenly called up, 'Derek, time to get up sleepy head!' Half still awake, he sat up, but the sleepiness in him encouraged him to fall back into his bed again. Moments later, his mother pulled the sheets off his bed annoyingly. 'How many times do I have to tell you not to oversleep? Now get up, I said NOW!' With no other option, Derek got up and changed into a fresh T-shirt and a pair of jeans. After taking a shower, he headed downstairs for breakfast. While eating, a news flash launched from the TV, 'The researchers that went into yesterdays underground chamber are all proven dead, claiming to be killed by something with great strength. Footprints were found in the chamber and heading to the city, all are advised to be extra careful when going out. Please report to the police if you see anything unusual.' 'Oh my god! Derek gasped, 'A mass murderer is on the loose in Heaven Hills? This is crazy! Oops, gotta get going!' Grabbing his backpack, he raced out of the door, 'Bye mom!' he shouted.
During lunchtime, everyone was talking about the murders, even the teachers. Sitting with Jacky, Peter and Milton, the four of them had their own thoughts. 'I think that this guy must be a psycho, killing all these people.' Said Peter. 'But why would a person have to kill them underground, could he be one of the researchers?' Milton asked. 'I think it's an animal or creature. You know, due to the size of those footprints. From the scientific point of view.' 'Oh give it a rest Jacky. I don't want to listen to another of your science lectures.' Interrupted Peter as all the others laughed. 'Enough of the murders. Where are you guys going after school?' asked Derek as he took a big bite of his sandwich. 'Anyone want to go to the mall? Tomorrow's a holiday.' Suggested Milton. 'Yeah, I need to buy some new books on Chemistry, count me in.' Jacky said. 'Yeah, I'm coming too. How 'bout you Derek?' 'Sure, why not?' 'First things first. Has anyone finished their project yet? I need some help.' Questioned Milton suddenly, 'What?' he asked as the guys rolled their eyes.
After school, the four teens headed to the mall. 'I can't believe you guys! How could all of you have done the project and not helping me with it? Now I have to spend a whole week in detention.' Complained Milton on the way. 'Chill bro, how 'bout a smoothie at the mall? My treat.' Said Derek t as he gave him a playful punch on the shoulder. 'Now that's more like it.' he grinned. After a few hours of mall crawling, the four of them went to the foodcourt for a refreshment. 'You know what? Next time before we come here, remind me to kill Jacky first.' Joked Peter as he took a sip of his Smoothie. 'I can't believe you got us into that bookstore for a whole hour!' 'Books are good for you.' Jacky shot back. ' Will the two of you shut up?' grinned Derek as he threw a straw at them, then returning to his drink. 'Hey Derek, Kelly's here.' Cooed Milton suddenly, making Derek choke on his cola. 'Cough, cough. I told you, quit joking! Cough!' gagged Derek. 'Hi guys! Derek, are you ok?' asked Kelly as she saw him. 'Yeah, I'm fine. Just sorta choked.' 'Mind if we sit down?' asked Rachel as she settled the bags onto the chairs. 'Don't tell me you went on another shopping spree sis! Mom's gonna kill you!'' moaned Peter as he stared at the large bags. 'I was just showing Kelly around, then there was this huge sale, how could I miss it?' growled Rachel defensively. 'Did you guys hear about the murders at the underground chamber?' asked Kelly as she sat down. 'Actually, everyone here knows already, who wouldn't?' joked Jacky. 'I just hope that he's not here somewhere.' Whispered Rachel. 'Don't worry guys, the cops'll han.' Suddenly, screams erupted from the other side of the mall, people were screaming at the top of their lungs and running like crazy. 'What's going on?' Derek questioned, 'Let's take a look.' The six of them ran over to see what was causing all the racket, only to see a gigantic snail-like creature destroying everything in its path. It was disgusting. Deep green drool dripped from its big mouth, which was filled with dozens of sharp teeth, its hands like fluid but nonetheless strong. 'What the hell is that thing?' gasped Milton, 'It's really gross.' 'Let's get out of here before it see us!' Rachel said as she backed away. Then, the monster suddenly changed direction, it was heading for the Kid's Playground. 'Oh no, it's heading for the kids, gotta save them.' Derek thought as he rushed over. 'Derek, wait up!' yelled Peter as he went after him. 'Let's follow him!' The kids were frozen at the spot as the creature walked to them, it used its hands to break up a large boulder and threw a gigantic piece directly at them. 'Die!' it laughed. Suddenly, Derek ran in front of the kids, blocking them from harm. He closed his eyes as death ran towards him at full speed!
'FLASH!' Derek slowly opened his eyes, only to see himself inside a strange building, with statues and some strange writing on the wall. 'Where is this place?' he thought. He turned around, and was relieved to find that his friends were also there. 'This place is giving me the creeps, I want to leave.' Said Peter quietly as he looked at his surroundings. Suddenly, Derek noticed a hooded figure on the stone steps. 'Who are you? Show yourself now!' he demanded. The figure walked towards them and took off his hood, showing the face of a man, perhaps about 50 years old smiling at them. 'Welcome, chosen ones, I am Axlar, the Solar Master. Welcome to the Solar Temple.' He announced. 'Chosen ones? Solar Temple? I've never heard of it.' Said Jacky uncertainly. 'The Solar Temple was built many years ago by the warriors of the Solar System.' The man explained. 'You six are here, because you have been chosen by the Solar Gems for the new fight against evil. You are to become Power Rangers!' 'Power what?' Peter asked. 'Heaven Hills is now in grave danger. An ancient evil from long ago has once again been unleashed. No one will survive, Earth will be finished.unless the six of you stop it.' 'You mean the underground chamber recently discovered?' 'Yes.' Answered Axlar. 'A team of young warriors trapped this evil many years ago. Now the chamber has been reopened, the lord of evil Astroda has arisen once again, together with his army of Slime troops.' 'The navy will be able to destroy him won't they?' Kelly asked. 'No mortal weapon may defeat this evil, only the Solar powers may stand a chance. So I'm asking you all now, to uphold this duty to protect Heaven Hills and the whole world. Will you agree to retrieve this power?' asked Axlar as he looked at each one of them. I don't know much about this Astroda, or these Solar Powers. But since the Solar Gem chose me, it must have its reasons. Earth is in danger, I'll do whatever I can to save it. Count me in!' exclaimed Derek as he walked forward. 'I'm with you on this one bro.' Nodded Milton as he stood beside him. 'Us too!' the others said. Smiling, Axlar waved his hands in mid-air, and six watch-like devices appeared out of thin air, 'Please take your Solarizers. They will enable you to morph and also teleport to various places. Take extra care for if the Solar Gem inside breaks, you'll lose your powers. Ah! There are also some rules to be made first.' 'Awww, not rules again!' moaned Peter. 'As Power Rangers, you must not use your powers for personal gain, and your identity must never be revealed. Is that clear?' 'Check!' answered Derek. 'So do we get to morph now?' asked Jacky excitedly, 'I want to see how it works.' 'Very well, then. Just press the S-button and cry out your respective Planet Powers.' Axlar said as he gave each one of them a Solarizer. 'Planet Powers?' questioned Rachel, 'What's that?' 'Oops! How could I forget this?' exclaimed Axlar as he gave himself a small knock on the head. 'Your powers come from one of the six planets of the Solar System. Derek, you are the unofficial leader of the group. You are the Golden Crescent Ranger. Milton, strong and eager, you are the Red Sun Ranger. Jacky, smart and cunning, you are the Blue Venus Ranger. Peter, you shall become the Green Uranus Ranger for your clam and logical mind.' 'Haha, I have a calm mind but you guys don't!' Peter teased. Ignoring him, Axlar went on. 'Rachel, brave and fearless, you shall be the Yellow Neptune Ranger. Finally Kelly, caring and disciplined, you are the Pink Mars Ranger.' Suddenly, the lights in the temple stared to flash and a siren roared to life. 'Seems to me that Snailor is attacking City Hall. Morph now and head over there!' Axlar ordered. 'Let's do it guys.' Announced Derek seriously, 'Solarize! Crescent Powers Now!' 'Sun Powers Now!' 'Venus Powers Now!' 'Uranus Powers Now!' 'Neptune Powers Now!' 'Mars Powers Now!' In a flash, the six teens were gone. In their places were six powerful looking warriors. 'Wow! Cool costume!' marked Milton as he looked at himself. 'There's no time to waste. Let's go guys!' cried Derek. 'Good luck Rangers!' smiled Axlar as they started to teleport. The whole temple was filled with six bursts of colors as the Rangers sped off.
Meanwhile, Snailor was ripping apart a large truck when six flashes of color bursted onto the scene, from it emerged six costumed figures with helmets; one even had a shield on the chest. Snailor grinned as he saw the six, 'So, the Power Rangers are back, who cares? I'll destroy you this time!' Pointing a finger at the rampaging monster, the Crescent Ranger bellowed 'You aren't going to do anymore damage as long as we're here.' Furious, Snailor called out the Slime army. 'Slimes, attack!' it roared as twenty disgusting puke-like creatures appeared and ran straight at the six rangers. 'Let's take 'em!' said the Sun Ranger as they took their fighting stance. 'Take that you ugly piece of garbage!' cried the Neptune Ranger as she threw a punch at the face of a Slime, followed by a upper kick to the stomach, causing it to break into pieces of rock. 'Hey, these guys are rock!' exclaimed the Venus Ranger as two attacking Slimes cracked together. The Slimes were no match for the Rangers and in no time at all; rock powder was littered on the pavement. 'Hey Snailor, why are you just sending out your henchmen? You chicken?' mocked the Uranus Ranger as he ran towards the monster. 'You're going down now!' He leapt up and sent a fly-kick. However, Snailor moved in lighting speed and swung him away in a flash. 'Careful guys, this thing looks tough.' Warned the Crescent Ranger. One by one, they ran towards the monster, but failed to attack it. Snailor dodged and ducked, avoiding the attacks and at the same time, hit down the rangers. 'Ha ha! I told you that you ranger brats were no match for me! Perhaps you'd want to give up?' laughed Snailor as he landed another jab onto the Sun Ranger's chest, doubling him over. Ignoring the searing pain, the Crescent Ranger stood up. 'We will never surrender to you, filthy beast!' Suddenly, a beep came from the Solarizer. 'Axlar, is that you?' 'Seems to me you need some help.' Came the voice of their mentor from the other side. 'This guy's beating the hell outta us, is there anyway to defeat it?' 'Seems to me it's time to call upon your Solar Sabers. Just focus your mind and it'll appear.' Reminded the mentor. 'You heard him guys! Let's do it!' ordered the Crescent Ranger as he closed his eyes. Feeling a sudden weight in his hands, he saw a short-dagger-like weapon, a crescent was printed on the handle. 'Crescent Saber!' In a swift motion, he sliced the saber onto Snailor's chest, leaving a deep scar. 'Yes! It works. Let's do it!' cheered the Venus Ranger excitedly! Together, they delivered a number of attacks, weakening Snailor. 'It's time to finish this. Solar Sabers Single Strike!' The six of them gathered their sabers and a powerful beam of energy shot directly at Snailor. 'Ahhhh!' screamed Snailor as its body started to burn. With a tremendous explosion, Snailor blew up into a thousand pieces. 'Yes! We did it! We defeated Snailor!' cheered the rangers as they stood together in triumphant.
Back at the Solar Temple, they celebrated together on their first victory. However, Axlar warned them 'Do not think that this is an easy task, being a ranger is a very important responsibility. This is only the beginning, Astroda still has many tricks up his sleeve, be on your guard!' 'Don't worry. We'll be ready for him.' Grinned Peter. Derek patted him on the back. 'He's right. We'll never let him take over our home, even if we have to sacrifice ourselves.' Axlar smiled 'The adventure will continue. What will come, will come. No one will be able to stop it.'
It was six in the morning, Derek was snoozing in his bed when his mother suddenly called up, 'Derek, time to get up sleepy head!' Half still awake, he sat up, but the sleepiness in him encouraged him to fall back into his bed again. Moments later, his mother pulled the sheets off his bed annoyingly.
