Disclaimer: I don't own any of Saban's power rangers.
A/N: Here it is, the introduction of my favorite character (next to Kyle), Samantha. While I have the opportunity, I'd like to tell what I won't be putting in from MMPR. The ninjetti thing, pink power switch, Rito, Master Vile (will make an appearance in another story), that should be it. The Alien Rangers and the Zeo Crystal will be shortened, because I don't want to get into the back-stories of how the rangers get their crystal pieces. Anyway, on with chapter 4.
Chapter 4-Green with Envy Part I
It had been one month since the five teens had become power rangers. Now, they were trying to keep on with their normal lives, and at the same time, keeping Angel Grove safe from Rita. Ross had constructed five communicators, which looked like watches. They tapped into the Command Center's teleportation and communication frequencies, so the rangers were always in contact.
In case the communicators were malfunctioning, Ross had engineered his VW Bug into the RADBUG, which could fly and turbo in the air to the Command Center. The rangers hadn't used it yet, because the communicators were fully functional.
At the Youth Center, Kyle was gearing up for his heat in the karate tournament. He turned, seeing his competitor from Stone Canyon, Samantha Collins warming up. She was like nothing he had seen, yelling and kicking at the speed of light. She was also very beautiful, and he had a sense of attraction for her.
RITA'S MOON PALACE
Rita pulled away from her Ritascope, specially designed telescope, staring down at Earth.
"Did you see that girl?" Rita asked Squatt, Baboo and Goldar.
"Yeah, she's really kicking butt," Baboo, said.
"She will be the perfect choice for my green ranger," she said fiendishly.
"Yes, and once we find the tool you need to control her, she will be evil forever," Goldar commented.
"YES!" Rita exclaimed.
She walked to her chamber inside the palace, and prepared herself for the ritual.
ANGEL GROVE YOUTH CENTER
Kyle was up, and shook hands with his competitor. They began fighting stance, and battled. Kyle was awarded the first point, and in a few minutes later, he earned his second point. Only three more to go, he thought.
The fight continued as Samantha earned her first two points. She jumped and flipped Kyle onto the blue mat, earning the lead. Kyle wasn't going to stand for this, so he jabbed, tying for the lead. He kicked, tripping Samantha, and receiving the fourth point.
Samantha was not pleased, and chopped at her opponent, earning her fourth point. Now it was down to the last move, Kyle ran, but Samantha jumped, and kicked him, winning the match. Kyle got up, shocked that he lost his match, but still needed to not be a sore loser.
"Congratulations, Samantha," Kyle said, shaking her hand again.
"You put up a good fight," she said, smiling at him as she walked away.
The other rangers came over, Joan with Kyle's water bottle, and Ross with his towel. They cheered him up, and began joking a bit.
"Hey, Kyle, I noticed you're looking at her," Cindy said in a singsong voice.
"So?" Kyle said gruffly.
"So? Why not ask her out, I heard she transferred to Angel Grove High," Cindy responded.
"Maybe I will," he said, smiling.
ANGEL GROVE ALLEY
Samantha walked down the alley, putting a green sweater on as she continued walking. The wind had picked up behind her for a mysterious reason.
RITA'S PALACE
Inside Rita's chamber, candles were lit at her dark altar, and she began chanting over a crystal ball.
"Yom, yosha," she began in an alien language.
Goldar and Finster watched in amazement as their Empress began a ritual not performed for over 10,000 years.
"You will become my evil green ranger. After you face my putties in a test," she proclaimed in English and then went back to the other language.
ANGEL GROVE ALLEY
A flash of light occurred and in front of Samantha stood three strange clay people. They were babbling and moving toward her. She put down her gym bag, and assumed a fighting stance.
"You picked the wrong day to fight Samantha Collins," she said, moving toward the creatures.
The first attacked, and Samantha kicked and chopped it until it fell back, cowering. The second attacked in a similar manner, but Samantha dropped kicked this one, and tripped, kicking its head and sending it back.
"Well, well, two down, one to go," Samantha said, moving in.
She attacked first, and the creature jumped up for his counterattack. Samantha grabbed its arms in mid-air and began swinging him around. She let go, and the final creature landed in a nearby dumpster. She stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, whatever those things were, she had defeated them.
Seconds later, the injured things disappeared, transported somewhere.
RITA'S PALACE
On the balcony, Rita had watched as the girl she had chosen easily defeated her putties, just like the regular rangers did. Rita transported herself to Samantha's location. The time had come to give the sixth power ranger life.
ANGEL GROVE ALLEY
Samantha picked up her bag, and continued on to her house. After walking a few feet, another flash occurred, and a strange woman appeared on the rooftops.
"Samantha, I have chosen you!" the woman said. She held out her staff, and it zapped Samantha, engulfing her in green smoke. The woman cackled and disappeared again.
RITA'S PALACE
At her altar, a skull zapped Samantha into the tiny crystal ball. In the crystal ball was a dark lit green room. Samantha was covered in some kind of moss, waiting for power to be put in her.
"NOW, RECEIVE THE POWER!" Rita screamed as her staff exploded energy. Squatt and Baboo grabbed each other as lightning struck.
Inside the crystal, the moss began to tear away, and Samantha awoke. Her eyes glowed green for a moment and then returned to the bright blue.
"How may I serve thee, Empress?" she said monotonously.
"You will become my evil green power ranger, committing evil deeds for me. Let me make clear who your enemies are. They are the power rangers, protectors of good. Destroy them, after your first test. They are Kyle the red ranger, Joan the yellow ranger, Ross the blue ranger, Greg the black ranger and Cindy the pink ranger. Your first mission, however, is to enter the Command Center and disable the power rangers' leader, Zordon and his sister, Zelda," Rita said.
"They will be permanently disabled," Samantha prophesied.
"Now, receive the sixth power coin," Rita said as a small green streak appeared in Samantha's hand. As Samantha closed her hand, green smoke flew through the crystal, and Samantha appeared now with a green power ranger's uniform on. It was the as the other rangers, except she had a shield on her chest, and a diamond shaped helmet.
Samantha cackled evilly as she was taken out of the crystal.
THE COMMAND CENTER
"But brother-," Zelda began.
"Will you please take a meditative state as I place myself into one," Zordon said.
Zelda didn't feel like meditating, but shut her eyes, and began levitating.
Suddenly, a green streak of light appeared as a mysterious stranger entered the Command Center. Zelda sensed this, and awoke out of her meditative state.
"Well, well, a ranger wannabe, you won't get very far here," Zelda said as she zapped white energy at the person.
The energy absorbed into the shield on the stranger's chest plate. She cackled, and Zelda could tell this person was female.
"Did you really think you were going to stop me?" she asked as she punched green energy at Zelda. Zelda fell back, stunned by the blast as her brother awoke.
"How did you enter, only a ranger with a power coin can enter undetected," Zordon said, questioning this stranger.
"I am Rita's green ranger," Samantha retorted.
"So, she finally chose someone to give the sixth power coin to," Zordon said
"That's right, old man. And now the Earth won't be safe, once I destroy the power rangers," Samantha said.
"Samantha, you do not know how wrong you are," Zordon said.
"SILENCE!" Samantha said as she went to the control panels. She tugged and pulled out wires, moving to the next station and doing the same.
"Samantha, stop! You don't know what you're doing. NO! I'm losing contact with this dimension. Zelda! Hear me!" Zordon said as the tube went dim.
Samantha cackled, pressed her morpher, and disappeared.
Zelda unsteadily got up and pressed one of the surviving buttons.
"Power rangers, I…need…help," Zelda said, pressing one other button to loop the message before the blackness took her, and she became unconscious.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please review. Ch. 5, Part II should be up soon.
