Chapter 9

Nick had found it. It was the building lengends were based around.
It was the legendary Command Center. He had remembered his parents telling him stories about it.

FlASHBACK

"And the power rangers saved the day again" said Nick's father.
"Daddy are the power rangers real?" asked Nick.
"Of course" replied his dad.
"And they really saved the day and protected Earth?" inquired Nick.
"Yes and they will always save the the Earth from evil" said his father.
"wow I hope I can be a power ranger someday but I think it is everyone' s dream. Dad the kids at school say the rangers aren't real.
"They are wrong the rangers still fight for us because if they had given up we wouldn't be here now. Now go to sleep"
"Night dad I hope I get to meet the power rangers."

END FLASHBACK

"This is the place we were going?" asked Tyrson. She looked at the building with disdain. "Yes this is the legendary command center, the base for the power ranges." replied Nick.
"Power Rangers you actually believe in the power rangers. They are just myths to make people feel a little bit better so they don't give up all together." Said Jerry "What are the Power Rangers?" asked Shae. She had heard small things about them when she was in the slave camp but she didn't know what they were.
"You've never heard of the power rangers before?" asked Kyle.
"Um...no...should I have?" Shae asked.
"Yes stories about the famous defenders of Earth fighting for freedom have been told everywhere"
"Well then why haven't they helped us"
"Because they are not real" said Parker.
"I don't really know but the rangers exhist and they are all around probably part of resistances all around the universe. Besides the proof is right there the command center all their technology still exhists." infomed Nick.
"How can you be so sure?" questioned Kali.
"Because you can't enter the Command Center unless you are a power ranger." said Nick "Then what makes you think we can get in?" asked Nick who had been quiet so far.
"I don't for sure but if these crystals are so powerful then we can get in. We have to try and if it doesn't work then we can find a resistance to join and give the crystals to the leader." said Nick.
"I don't see the harm I mean the building actually exhists" agreed Kali.
"lets try it." said Steve.
" I'm with it" Kyle said.
"We will just be wasting time and the troops will just be getting farther and farther away" Parker argued.
"You said we were moving fast we can catch up besides would you rather take the chance of the Daemons getting the gems." Said Nick. Parker,
Tyrson, and Jerry looked skeptical but agreed anyway.
"Do you think the power rangers are in there" asked Shae interested.
Jerry gave her a look of disgust and Tyrson rolled her eyes.
"No the place looks like no one has been there forever" said Nick polietly. Parker sighed and then led the way to the building and the rest of the group followed. The group quickly made their way up to the buliding.
"Hey heres a door" said Kyle. The group made their way to through the door and into an open chamber. Suddenly lights flickered on to show a round room filled with computers and control pannels. There was some sort of tube at the center of the room. The place looked damaged, worn down, and looked like it hadn't been used in forever. Nick went to the computers and pressed some buttons.
"The place is powerless." confirmed Nick. Shae went to one side of the room and put one hand against a pannel. Truthfully she was tired from the walking and the fighting but she didn't want the others to think her weak.
Suddenly the pannel she was leaning on lit up and a voice from a speaker somewhere said "MATCH CONFIRMED" and the pannel slid open and Shae fell through into an opening. Shae let out a slight scream of surprise and the group came rushing to where she was. Shae had landed at the top of a staircase. Kyle helped her to her feet.
"Are you alright?" Kyle asked Shae. She nodded her head and looked around in wonder at the new corridor. "Where does this lead to?" asked Kali. "I have no idea but lets follow it and see where it leads but we might find our answers there." and with that Nick started down the staircase.
The others followed on guard. When they got to the bottom of the stairs they went through another door into anther circular but bigger room. Suddenly like before the lights went on but this time along with the computers. Along one wall there were six class cases with six multicolored suits in them. There was another blue tube at the front of the room and computer pannels throughout the room. Along another wall there were storage cases.
The group of eight looked in wonder around the room. Jerry couldn't believe his eyes, the power rangers were real.
"Wow this place is amazing." said Shae. "you can say that again." agreed Kali. "I told you the power rangers were real." said Nick excitedly.
"Yea but what now there is no one here and we don't have anyone to give the crystals to." said Tyrson. Nick went to the computer pannel and started to press some of the buttons. "What are you doing?" asked Steve.
"I'm trying to access the files to see if there is anyway we can contact living rangers" answered Nick. He pressed a few more buttons a pannel slide out of the main wall and a voice said " What is your source of power"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" yelled Kali.
"I don't know yet but I believe that it has something to do with the crystals because they are a source of power." Nick typed in something.
"YOU EIGHT HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE POWER OF THE GODS.
ANCIENT WARRIORS WHO DEFENDED THEIR GALAXY AND MADE THE PLATINUM CRYSTALS TO PUT THEIR ENERGY INTO. THESE GREAT WARRIORS WERE THE BEST EVER KNOWN. WHEN THEY PASSED ON THE POWER CRYSTALS WERE SPREAD AROUND THE GALAXY UNTIL THE NEXT GROUP OF CHOSEN WOULD COME TO HOLD THEM. YOU ARE THE NEXT CHOSEN AND ARE THE ONLY ONES ABLE TO ACCESS THE POWER OF THE PLATINUM CRYSTALS AND SAVE THE GALAXY FROM THE EVIL THAT HAS OVERTAKEN IT. IT WILL BE DANGEROUS BUT YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES ABLE TO DO IT. HARNESS THE CRYSTALS POWER, KEEP THEM OUT OF EVILS HANDS, AND PROTECT THE UNIVERSE.
YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN AS THE NEXT TEAM OF POWER RANGERS"
said the voice. "What the HELL was that?" yelled Kali. Suddenly the voice spoke again "PLEASE PLACE THE PLATINUM CRYSTALS INTO THE POWER PANNEL"
"What is it talking about?" asked Steve.
"That pannel over there." said Nick pointing to the pannel that had slid out of the wall. Then he walked over and placed his green crystal into one of the slots. The others followed a little hesitantly then placed their crystals into the designated slots.
"PLEASE PLACE YOUR HAND ON THE PANNEL ABOVE THE CRYSTALS" spoke the voice. The group did as they were told and placed their hands on the pannel. The pannel scanned their hands and "DNA RECORDED"
Said the voice. Suddenly the crysals started to glow and a bright light spread over each of the group respectively. A platinum band appeared over each of the group in the color of their crystal. The crystals disappeared off of the pannel and appeared on a necklace around each of their necks. In the bands around their wrists there was a six-starshaped place for the crystals. The group took their hands off of the pannel and looked in awe at each other. Suddenly the voice came back and said "YOU ARE THE NEW POWER RANGERS SERVE AND PROTECT. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!" Then the voice went out.
And the new power ranger team was left to determine what this meant for their future.
