Chapter 1: The Birth of the Red Tiger Ranger
Hello, my name is Kevin. I always thought I was a normal teenager. I went to high school, I played video games, and had trouble with friends. Little did I know, I was the first to gain a great power…and a great responsibility
"Not uh!"
"Yeah huh!"
"Not uh!"
"Kevin, Power Rangers are real! In Blue Bay Harbor, there were ninja power rangers! And just today, I heard about dinosaur rangers beating some mutants," said Sam, the little boy who walked home with the high school junior. Sam was dressed in a light green shirt, and blue jeans, while Kevin wore a red tech vest over a red long-sleeved shirt.
Kevin rolled his eyes, covered with his glasses, as he said, "Listen, they're just made up. Obviously, the idea of martial artists in colored costumes and riding big robots is just a child's story,"
"But Kevin! They are real!" shouted Sam, "The world have been destroyed by aliens by now,"
"For one thing, aliens don't even exist!" shouted Kevin.
"Oh, I wouldn't say that…"
Tom and Sam turned around to see a bunch of purple-furred jackal headed men appearing out of nowhere. Leading them was a wolf morph alien with silvery fur, wearing neon black armor.
"Take the four-eyed one. He's the one Master Anurebas want," said the wolf, before the jackal-headed men attacked.
"Sam, run! I'll fight them off!" shouted Kevin, before he spun kick a jackal man, followed by a right cross onto the neck. He then blocked punches he was getting and slammed his elbow into a jackal man's jaw. One of the jackal men grabbed Kevin, but he reversed the grab and tossed him into another.
"Ah…interesting. No wonder Anurebas said he'd make a powerful monster," said the wolf, before he spoke into his communicator. "I think we need a little back-up. Send Dogre,"
"RARRRR!!!!" howled an oafish dog monster, as it appeared in a flash of light. The dog monster was nearly nine feet tall, and covered head to toe in muscles. Its jaw looked like it was capable of breaking steel with one bite. The dog monster grabbed Kevin with its powerful muscles, and the wolf laughed manically.
"Time to go home!" shouted the wolf, before pushing a button. They all vanished in a flash of light.
"Where'd they go?!!!" shouted Sam, who had been watching the fight.
************************************************************************
"Greetings, young Kevin," said a muscular black dog morph alien with razor sharp teeth, as he wore golden items on his body. "I am Anurebas,"
"Oh daddy! I love you! Thank you!"
Suddenly, a young woman, who looked like a human except she had teeth like a wild dog, ran into the room and hugged Anurebas tightly. She was dressed in a silver jumpsuit, with jewelry sewn beautifully into it.
"Little Mauler, this is one of Larass's DNA harvests, not a new boyfriend for you!" shouted Anurebas.
"Well, can you blame me?!! Rakon buried my last boyfriend!" shouted Anurebas's daughter, pointing to the shaggy dog alien, who was somewhat fat.
"Don't worry! I'll eventually dig up your skeleton boyfriend and all his tasty bones…" drooled Rakon.
Larass, the wolf alien who had captured Kevin, then said, "Bring him to my lab, Dogre,"
"Daddy, can Larass at least make me a boy from what's left?" asked Anureba's daughter.
Anurebas growled, "Fluffin, why did I listen to your mother? She made me spoil you too much!!!"
"Fluffin? That's her name?" asked Kevin, before Dogre and Larass carried him off to Larass's lab. "I have to be dreaming…yeah. The idea of mutant dog aliens kidnapping me and threatening to create a monster out of me is unreal,"
"Now, don't worry. I'm just going to splice up some DNA from you to make monsters like Dogre here," said Larass. "It won't hurt at all,"
"Oh yeah…it won't hurt you!" shouted Kevin, as he strapped to a table by Dogre.
"True. I did have some screaming from the creature I made Dogre from. Now hold still!" shouted Larass, pulling out a scalpel from his lab desk.
"I'M DREAMING! I'M DREAMING! WHY WON'T I WAKE UP!!!" shouted Kevin, just before a white mist blew into the room.
"What is this?" asked Larass, reaching for the mist when he was suddenly lifted up and tossed into Dogre. The two went flying into the next room, leaving the trapped Kevin with the mysterious mist.
The mist then coiled around Kevin, freeing him. It then coiled around his wrist, to create a red device on it.
Kevin blinked, "Okay…now what is going on?" The mist shaped and shifted until it resembled a ghostly tiger.
"I am one of the four guardian spirits of earth. Our magic is no longer capable of protecting against these monsters. That is your Red Tiger Morpher device," said the ghost. "It will only grant you the great gift because of your energy signal,"
"Wait a minute…are you telling me I'm a…" began Kevin.
"That's right. You're a Power Ranger. We have long foreseen that four special beings would inherit our powers and defend earth from Anurebas," said the tiger mist.
"Look, I was just telling Sam that Power Rangers do not exist," said Kevin.
I am Tigre of the Red Tiger. That morphing device will turn you into the Red Tiger Ranger," he continued explaining, going on about the other powers. He was about to explain the last power, when Anurebas and his cronies came stomping in.
"What is going on here?!!! You should have been monster DNA!" shouted Anurebas.
Kevin, now aware of what he was put on the earth for, said, "Sorry. But if you think that was disappointing, try this!" He slashed his hand across the Red Tiger Morpher,
shouting, "Spirit Feline Power!" before he was covered in energy. Kevin felt new power cover him like a suit of armor, before a helmet was on his head. When the energy cleared, Kevin was now donned in a red suit, with a tiger claw scratch mark on the chest. His helmet had yellow cat eyes, and stripes down the sides. His black visor completely concealed his entire face.
"AWWW!!!! Why did the cute one have to be a power ranger?!!" groaned Fluffin.
"Power ranger, smower ranger. GET HIM!!!" shouted Anurebas to Dorge.
"RED TIGER RANGER! HYAH!!!" shouted Kevin, the new red ranger.
"DADDY! They'll mess up the house!" shouted Fluffin, making Anurebas growl.
"Fine, Little Mauler, I'll move them outside," said Anurebas, clapping his hands to teleport the Red Ranger and Dogre outside.
The Red Ranger then said, "Alright, now I can kick your butt for real!"
"RARRRR!!!!" shouted Dogre, charging at the Red Ranger with his jaws snapping up and down. The Red Ranger easily back-flipped away, before performing a jumping spin kick to the chest. This made Dogre keel back, before the Red Ranger continued an assault of martial art moves onto the dog monster.
"Let's see what this baby can do!" shouted the Red Ranger, forming a sword in his hands. The sword was designed like a cutlass, and had a laser gun cartridge at the hilt.
"Ah, the Tiger Fury Blade," said Tigre, peeking his head out of the Red Ranger's wrist. When Kevin morphed, it fused the ancient spirit with the new Power Ranger. Luckily, Tigre had explained how to use the sword before Anurebas came in.
"RRARRRR!!!!!!!!!" howled Dogre, opening his mouth to release a spray of laser bullets. However, the Red Ranger twirled his sword like a baton, batting the blasts away harmlessly.
The Red Ranger then yelled, "That's nothing! Try this!" He pointed his sword at Dogre, causing the cartridge to release its own blast of laser bullets. Dogre snarled in pain, as the bullets caused him to walk back. "Time to put this dog out!" shouted the Red Ranger, before jumping up into the air. "ANCIENT CAT SPIRIT SLASH!!!"
Before Dogre knew it, he was sliced in half by the Red Ranger, causing the monster to explode.
"ALRIGHT! I DID IT!!!" shouted the Red Ranger, before making a victory sign.
******************************************************************************
"Oh master! Please don't be angry!" shouted Larass, on his knees.
Anurebas sighed, "Oh, get up general. We have only one ranger to deal with and three more energy humans to capture and turn into monsters," He then stood up and went to his wooden cabinet, saying, "We must find the Jilane Box,"
"The Jelly Box? It sounds like something you can buy at a sweets store," said Rakon.
"Not Jelly! Jilane!" shouted Anurebas, showing a picture of a sarcophagi-like box. "Once I obtain this box, our monsters will gain greater power!"
******************************************************************************
Later…
"No one believes me," said Sam, sighing as he sat on his front bench. "Kevin's probably dog food right now…"
Suddenly, he heard a motorcycle coming, and looked up. The motorcycle was red, and had wild cat designs on it. At the controls was a red-suited figure, wearing a red helmet.
"I…I…I don't believe it," went Sam, as the figure stopped his cycle and walked towards him.
"Hello Sam. I am the Red Tiger Ranger. When I saved your friend, Kevin, he told me to tell you he was alright," said the stranger.
"You're….you're…" stuttered Sam.
The Red Ranger then said, "Yep. I am a Power Ranger. And your friend also said you were right. Power Rangers do exist," He then walked back to his cycle and said, "See ya, kid. I have other duties to do,"
When the Red Ranger had driven far enough, he stopped and pressed a button on his helmet. It was folded into his suit to reveal Kevin's head.
"That was nice of you, Kevin," said Tigre, popping his ghostly head out of Kevin's shoulder. "Now, we must find the three others destined to become Power Rangers, before it is too late…"
