Disclaimer – Power Rangers is not mine (Damn!). It belongs to the Magical Castle and the Mouse. Ultra Rangers, Crystal Rangers, Ranger Sentinels and Element Rangers are mine, as well as anything original – characters, weapons, Zords, combos, villains, monsters, foot soldiers…you get the idea. On with the show!

A/N: This idea's been niggling at my brain for the last few weeks, so I'm writing it down – finally! Spoilers for Ultra Crystals saga (Yes, even the unwritten ones!) Happens after DT, but assumes the Dino Gems survived.

Power Rangers Ultra – Rangers of the Elements.

Chapter One – First Day Fight

Walking into the classroom, the first thing he could sense was power. Not a small amount, mind you, but a lot of power. Mostly coming from the lights, but he could still feel it. Weihan sighed and continued in to the room. The first day of TAFE, and he couldn't wait for the course to start. Human Resources – oh, this would be interesting – moreso by the constant attacks of Death Xonix, Xonix's upgraded form. Now that Mesogog had been dealt with, Tommy was finally helping him and the combined team fend off attack after attack. It was a long battle, but it was all one sided.

They were losing. Badly.

He shook off thoughts of doom and gloom and looked around the room that was to be his main classroom. Apart from spaced out desks and hard plastic chairs it looked like any other room in his building. He picked out a chair next to the row of seemingly bolted windows and waited. He knew he was being paranoid – Death Xonix wasn't going to attack. Not when the Firestorm Spinozord had ripped a chunk out of his Moon Fortress. But then, you just never knew what would happen on the battlefield.

He was jerked out of his thoughts by a tall Australian girl walking in. Blonde hair, a red top, green eyes. She sat down in front of him, looked back and smiled, extending her hand. He took it and smiled back, his voice warm.

"Hi, I'm Weihan – Wei for short."

"Danielle, but my friends call me Dani"

He gently took his hand out of her grip and looked around at the people coming in. An Aussie chick, a dark-skinned person, a stocky guy, a "surfer dude" and a Pom caught his attention, mainly because of the auras of Power he could sense around them. Once again, the voice of his Ultra Crystal came to him, noticing his attention at these people.

Weihan, you aren't seeing things. They have a great power inside them, but like yourself – they aren't aware of it.

Yeah, he knew that all too well. His "inner power" was what had helped him upgrade his armour to fight off the Ultra Psychos and tame the seemingly untamable Magma Spinozord. He had called upon that power many, many times in the past few battles alone – but always as a last ditch effort. He knew what it was like to feel something inside him and not knowing what to do bout it. Then he did a double-take. He noticed that each person was wearing a different colour. Red, yellow, black, forest green, blue and white. He furrowed his brow in thought, causing Dani to look at him, concerned.

"Hey Wei, are you all right? You seem spaced out."

He looked over at her, staring into her endless green eyes, and smiled.

"Nah, Don't worry Dani. It's just nothing."

She nodded and turned back to her desk, seemingly satisfied. He let out a breath and cracked his neck. There had to be an explanation for this, but what? Once again, the ever present voice of his Crystal answered for him.

They are a new team. Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Lightning and Shadow. The Elemental Rangers. Totally exempt from the Morphin Madness as well. Take notice! Names are about to be called out. These are your teammates, they will look to you for guidance.

Ok, that was weird, but then again his "inner voice" never had anything useful to say anyway. After correcting his name, the introductions came around – name only.

"Danielle Turner"

"Weihan Liang"

"Catherine Eldering"

"Robert Southall"

"Matt Hall"

"Brett Hooper"

"Taz."

After all the class had done their introductions, the teacher introduced himself and started teaching. Suddenly, an explosion from nearby rocked the entire building. All heads whirled to look out the windows, all pairs of eyes, except one. widening in unison at what was there. Fighting, in living colour, were the Crystal Megazord, the Thundersaurus Megazord and the Ultra Voyager against a grotesquely deformed creature that vaguely resembled a snapping turtle. The monster had the Zords on the ropes, but a burst of power tipped the scales. The monster jumped back and snarled at the new contender – the Dino Stegazord. In his mind, Weihan heard the Purple Ultra Ranger – Eliza Maddock – talk to him urgently.

Wei, sorry about the noise, but this guy won't go down! We'll take the fight elsewhere, but be on guard. Death Xonix just sent a group of…things down.

Things? He asked back, What sort of things?

Goddamn it, Wei, I don't know! Radar suggests they're making a beeline for you! Get out of there!

He couldn't do that and she knew it. His duty as an Ultra Ranger came first. He stood up and walked towards the door, ignoring the protests of the teacher and Dani. He inhaled sharply and braced for a fight. Yanking open the door, he was met with a mass of unfamiliar figures. Tan in colour, they were basically humanoid with three holes for faces. He was pushed back against the tide and the classroom that had been calm only moments before erupted into pure chaos. People screaming, shouting, running and some trying to fight back. Ducking a punch from one of the creatures, Weihan found himself fighting back-to-back with Dani, the female showing that she was capable of handling herself in a fight. She glanced over at him and yelled out.

"What're these things?"

"I have no idea! Don't these things go after the Power Rangers?"

"Don't look at me!"

He grinned and went back to fighting the creatures. Picking up a chair, he threw it at three who were menacing Cat before spin kicking two away from him. He heard a cry of thanks from Cat's direction and yelled back. Suddenly, his nose was assaulted with the smell of smoke and his vision flashed with fire and lightning – adding to the chaos. Clammy hands and fists struck his head, causing him to cry with sudden pain and Cat and Dani shout out his name.

Through the fire, lightning and pain, he vaguely saw Cat and Dani's fists glowing with light. Strike after strike cleaved into the attacking enemy, diminishing them rapidly. Just before succumbing to the darkness, Weihan saw Cat, Dani, Taz, Rob, Matt and Brett glow with a rainbow of colours and destroy the last enemy in a blaze of energy.
