Power Rangers Ancient Elements
Arrival of Earth Part 1
Los Angeles, California---June 29, 2007---10:00 PM
The six rangers had just teleported to Los Angeles, their new home for now. "Okay, so where's the house?" Brad asked, looking around. They were walking on the beach trying to find the house Dr. Ancialient got them. He told them that it was beachside, and was sea green.
"I think I found it" Rye said, pointing to part of a roof in the distance. They all ran up to it to see a beautiful mansion.
Nick opened the door and walked in, stunned at the site of their new home. "Wow. Just wow." he said, jumping on the silver couch. There were three more couches, made to look like a square. In the middle was a clear table, a vase on it. The walls of the living room were royal blue, with purple molding. "Not bad." Chloe said. She walked over to the kitchen. It had a counter with everything they needed, and a wooden floor, connected to a breakfast nook. Rye and Brad looked in the fridge, finding beer, soda, and juice, along with other food. They immediately took a can of beer each and started to drink.
"What the f are you two doing?" Ian yelled when he saw them drinking. "Were not old enough to drink yet!" he said, swiping the two beers from them and pouring them put in the sink.
Brad put an arm on Ian's shoulder, trying to calm his leader down and reason with him. "Ian, there are no cops here, and our bodies are in their twenties, so we should be able to drink. Plus, I'm sure we have a winery and tons of champagne for you and Chloe." Those words struck Ian right away. "You're right. Drink as much as you want. I'm gonna get me and Chloe some wine, want some?" "Nah, I like beer, but bring some up in case. Tonight is a time to celebrate." Brad replied, getting three cans of beer for him, Rye, and Nick. Sarah took a glass out of a cabinet and got herself some water as Ian looked for the basement with Chloe.
Thy both walked down the halls and found a door leading to the basement. They stopped to look at it for a moment. There was an air hockey table, a pool table, and a ping pong table, along with a jukebox and stage, almost like it was directly from a club. A bar was in the corner, a door behind it. "I guess that's where the wine is" Chloe said as they opened the door. Inside were millions of bottles of wine, different flavors and ages.
"What should we have?" Ian asked his new girlfriend as they looked around. "Too many to choose from, is there a guide here?" Chloe said. She looked on the walls to see if there was a list of what and where certain wines were. "Want some cherry wine?" "Yeah, that sounds good" Ian answered.
Upstairs, the others were looking at what else they had. There was a big screen TV, computers, and sculptures, along with paintings on the wall. Rye also saw that they had a small movie theater. "It says that we can have ANY movie we want."
Brad dropped his drink right away when he heard the word any. "Wait, so does that mean that we have those movies?" he said, looking over the list to find what he wanted. "Yeah, every single film ever made." Rye reassured with a wide grin. Sarah came over and looked over the list. "You're not watching that right now, I'm watching Snow White" she said, taking the remote and playing the old Disney movie.
Nick was exploring the house too. He found a gym and an indoor pool on the first floor, and then went upstairs to look at the bedrooms. There were six bedrooms, one in each of their colors with their elements on the walls. He took the room with 'Ancient Thunder' on the door and started to furnish it. Nick put a bookshelf in one corner, and a desk in another. He ordered a laptop off of his Element cell and placed it on the desktop. Next were clothes. A yellow and brown jacket with the thunder symbol was already in the room, a gift from Dr. Ancialient. He put that in the closet, along with other shirts he ordered, most shades of yellow. Next were pants, mostly brown kakis, and some shorts.
Sarah soon came up, looking for her room. "Damn Nick, you have good style" she said looking over the room. "But I could give you some help. Brad and Rye are downstairs, drunk." Nick just laughed. He knew they were going to be wasted by midnight, so he might as well get to know Sarah, his new teammate. "So, where did you grow up?" he asked as him and Sarah put up sand yellow drapes on the windows.
"Gale Valley, Texas" she answered. "It's a small town outside of Dallas. What about you, you speak Spanish or Mexican, whatever it's called, so you're from Mexico?" Nick looked at her, dumbfounded. "Nah, my relatives are Puerto Rican, not Mexican."
"Same thing, right" Sarah insisted. She wasn't that smart, so she thought she was right. Nick then explained to her the different Hispanic cultures in the easiest way, knowing she would have a hard time understanding. He knew that she wasn't a racist, just the typical dumb blonde. She soon apologized, and went to her room to decorate.
"Ancient Air" she said softly as she entered a pink room. Sarah knew exactly what she wanted to do with this. She ordered different shades of pink sweaters, shirts, t shirts, and mini skirts, along with blue jeans. The rest of the room she made look like a princess' room.
Downstairs, Chloe and Ian came back up with wine, to see Brad and Rye passed out on the couch. "Idiots" Ian mumbled as he got two glasses out of the cabinets and poured drinks. Chloe and Ian went over to another room, a more romantic one, fireplace and all, sitting on a couch.
"I can't believe his" Ian said as he took a sip of his wine and looked at his Element cell. "Were rangers now." Chloe looked at hers too. One day ago, they were just normal teens, and now they were basically adults with the duty to protect Earth.
"Only seven of us remain" Ian said solemnly. "Well, from what I know. Dr. Ancialient said that some humans were still alive, but where?" He leaned back on the couch, still having a hard time taking all of this in. At least he had his friends, and more importantly, Chloe.
"Ian" Chloe said, taking his mind off of all of the stress. "Do you know that I loved you even before you took the risk of fighting those Dynamites?" The red ranger looked into her eyes and kissed her passionately. "Yeah, I thought you did, and now we know."
She cuddled up to him, falling asleep in his arms, tired from the night. He carried her up to her room, only to find it bare. He decided that she could sleep in his room, which he fixed up quick. Nothing too fancy or good for now, just a place to sleep. He lied down next to her, and fell asleep.
Los Angeles, CA---June 30, 2007---9:00 AM
Sarah was up, making breakfast. She decided to let the others sleep in or do what they wanted, Brad and Rye having hangovers, and Ian, Chloe, and Nick tired from the battle. Brad came down first, holding his head.
"How much did I drink last night?" he moaned, falling on the couch.
"2 cans of beer and about ten shots" Sarah said, bringing over some Aspirin and water for him to drink. "You and Rye really need to know your limits."
He put the Aspirin into the water and took a sip of it. "Uh, I feel like s. Maybe when the morphing DNA bonds with my body, I'll be able to take the alcohol better." He took a plate of toast that Sarah gave to him and started to eat.
Rye came down next, in the same state as Brad. He slumped over on the table, putting his head down. "Sarah, get me a glass of water, but no Aspirin in it. I can handle this on my own." he insisted. Rye knew the hangover would get better in time, and he was never one to take the easy way out, in this case Aspirin. He wanted to test his body's limits, it was his life goal. The cold was no match for him, as he survived harsh Siberian winters when he was a child. Neither was the pain of losing loved ones. His grandmother was killed in 1987 during the communist reign in the Soviet Union. He and his parents left for Fountain Heights when the fall of communism happened, and he was happy with where he was. "I guess I know my alcohol limit, for now" he mumbled, taking a drink of water.
Nick was upstairs in his room just getting up and looked out his window at the ocean and morning sunrise of California. "I never thought something like this could happen." He said in his head. "At one point, I was about to go to jail, but then Ian moved here and we became fast friends. Now he made this happen." he said, clutching his Element cell. "I hope I made the right choice by becoming a ranger."
Ian was in the shower getting ready for breakfast. He wanted to look nice for his first full day together with Sarah, and more importantly, Chloe. "F this is awesome." he said. "I got the girl of my dreams, and I'm a ranger. More importantly, red, the leader."
He got out of the shower, with a bathrobe on, only to find Chloe standing there, grinning. "Are you gonna take that off for me?" she joked. "Or do you want to get into the shower with me." Ian gave her a sly smile and a kiss on the lips, picking her up after. He acted like he was going to drop her, but she knew he wouldn't. "Chloe, we're going to, okay? We've been together for less than a day. The only reason we slept in the same bed was because I didn't want to wake you up, you looked so beautiful. Not that I wouldn't like that everyday, but not right now." He said, putting her down. "But if you want me to watch you take a shower, I'm good with that." Chloe agreed to that and went into the shower, taking her clothes off in there and throwing them to Ian.
Ian wanted to play this relationship safe to start, using his natural charm and charisma that got him his only other girlfriend. For all he knew, the last girls on Earth were Chloe and Sarah, and he knew that Brad had a thing for her. "Damn this life is good." He said, lying back, and watching Chloe.
Nick was downstairs, making himself some eggs. "How bad of a hangover?" he asked Sarah, motioning his head to Rye and Brad.
"Together they had 10 beers, and a plate of shots. I'll just leave it like that." She responded; making some more toast in case Ian and Chloe drank too much the night before.
Brad was back up, feeling somewhat better and poured himself some orange juice. "I wonder what happened with Ian and Chloe last night. I saw them go upstairs together, Ian holding her." He downed the glass of juice fast and walked around, trying to shake off the last effects of the hangover.
"No, we didn't." Ian and Chloe came down the stairs, dressed for the day and threw Nick a shirt and a pair of shorts from his room. Chloe took some toast for her and buttered it, giving the rest to her boyfriend. Ian put some jelly on it ate it fast. "Hey Nick; Chloe and I are going to the boardwalk, wanna come?" "Yeah, I'll be ready in a minute" he replied, going into the nearest bathroom and putting his new clothes on.
"Wait!" Rye called out, stopping them. "We all should go, I'll get ready fast. Brad and Sarah, you're coming too." He went up to his room and threw on a white tank top and white sweatpants, Brad a green shirt and black jeans, and Sarah a tight shirt and hot pants. They all went out the backdoor and onto the beach.
Dark Core Ship
Acrodono was sitting on his throne, monitoring the rangers. "This is a perfect opportunity to attack. Dasefa! Send Dynamites down to destroy them!"
"Yes my master" Dasefa said as he took a bag of circular disks out and loaded them into a laser. He fired a shot, and a Dynamite sped down to Earth. More followed, all going to Los Angeles.
Cloudex was in the corner polishing her long nails. "You're making a mistake with this."
Acrodono got up and cornered her. "Now why is this a mistake?" he asked, his breath burning down her neck.
Cloudex turned her head and answered her master. "Because there are still three morphers left sir. If all of them are destroyed, the Earth, Air, and Ice morphers powers could be harnessed by Ancialient and take us out." She slipped out of the corner and continued to speak. "Plus, I have a personal interest in one of those rangers. I could kidnap him and make him my- I mean our slave."
The rock lord went back to his throne and thought about Cloudex' idea. "You are right. Those Dynamites are only to weaken and test them. I'm trusting you in this plan Cloudex. It better happen, or else your head will become a lantern for this ship."
"I will not fail. The one I want will be taken tonight. I can easily guess what those humans will do this evening, and I will be waiting" she said, taking a white orb out of her pocket.
Boardwalk in Los Angeles--- June 30, 2007--- 10:30 AM
"Okay, so what should we do first?" Brad asked, looking around.
"Well first, we need people" Ian responded, taking out his Element Cell, pressing 498, the code for the holograms. Right away, the boardwalk was filled with almost life like people. "There, I'm going to the arcade, anyone wanna come?" Ian loved video games and gambling, a perfect mix in the arcade.
"Nah, I'm going on the rides" Chloe said, "and Sarah's coming with me".
"And I'm going to go play some games out here; does anyone want to do that?" Nick asked, Rye agreeing.
"I'm definitely going to the arcade" Brad said, heading towards a place with flashing lights and noises.
Ian then ran over the way things were going to work. "Okay, if there is an attack, call me, and morph right away Chloe and Nick. Sarah, Brad, and Rye, do your best to help out. Use anything here. If one attacks, just jump out of the way and fight with what you have around you. We'll meet back up 12:00PM for lunch, got it?"
They all agreed. "Your such a great leader" Chloe said, her gleaming eyes looking into Ian's as they both kissed passionately for a minute, Ian's hand on her back, and her legs wrapped around one of his. They broke and hugged each other before going different ways.
"Damn Ian, you're a real ladies man now!" Brad exclaimed, throwing his hand over his friends shoulder.
"I know" Ian said, smirking "I knew I was, but it took the morpher to bring that out." He looked down at his pants, his Element Cell clipped to it. "So, do you have any interest in Sarah?"
"Hell yeah!" Brad said. "Look at that chest! I mean, Chloe is no slouch in the breast department, but Sarah has C's! Even though Chloe does have a nice butt."
Ian hit him in the arm for taking about Chloe that way. "Let me say this. If I ever see you kissing Chloe, my sword will be up your ass. Got it?"
Brad backed away, knowing Ian might not be joking. "Yeah, I know."
The red ranger just laughed. "I'm joking, okay. But don't try to hook up with Chloe, she loves me. Now with you and Sarah, you may have some competition."
"Who?" Bard asked, knowing it was either Nick or Rye, and they both didn't seem like the type of guys for Sarah.
"Nick" Ian responded. "They're getting along great and there may be a spark, no pun intended. Just don't kill him; I'm sure they're only good friends."
They booth stopped taking about girls when they got into the arcade, Ian going to a paintball range, and Brad a poker game.
On the other side of the boardwalk, Nick and Rye were getting some fries to eat while they looked around.
"I love it here in Cali" Nick said, looking at the ocean.
"It sure is a different change of scenery from Russia." said Rye, remembering the harsh winters in his old home.
"You lived in Russia?" Nick asked.
Rye nodded and told him the story of hating communism and losing his grandmother to military police. Suddenly the pains of the real world came back to them.
"I'm so sorry about that" Nick said, regretfully "My dad was kidnapped when I was 13, probably from drug lords of Puerto Rico. I hope these new powers can help me find him." He looked down at his yellow and brown cell phone, his morpher.
"Okay, enough with that, lets play some games" Rye said as he took some quarters out of his pocket and placed them on the stand for one of the giant wheels.
Over at the rides, the girls were on the teacup spinner talking.
"I really cant believe this" Chloe said. "Were probably the only seven people left on Earth, and I'm a Power Ranger!"
"And you have a great boyfriend" added Sarah.
Chloe nodded. She never felt this way about someone before. Ian risked his life for all of them, and now was their fearless leader. "He is. Very romantic too. I can picture the rest of my life with him. He has a great personality, and he does have a good body. I love that golden brown hair on him. What about you?"
"What do you mean?" Sarah asked.
"I mean about you and Brad. I know you two like each other."
"Yeah, I guess. I hope we have some time to spend together, I don't want any attacks."
The blue ranger sighed. She knew that Acrodono was going to attack again, but it was a question of when. "Well, we would need the other three morphers to activate. Judging by the clothes that were wearing, you're pink, Rye is white, and Brad's green."
"But how do we unlock the powers, and what do we have to do to control them?" Sarah said. She wasn't sure if she was cut out for this.
"I think it has to do with our element. We each have a certain connection with it. I like to surf, so my element is water. Ian is intense, so he is in touch with flames, and Nick shares a bond with thunder. Brad probably will get the Earth Element Cell, because he's powerful. Rye, the Ice Element Cell, he grew up in Russia, so he has a connection with the cold. And you're graceful like the wind, so you'll probably get the Air Element Cell. Chloe responded. "To unlock them, I think it is destiny like Dr. Ancialient told us."
After they were done talking about their new lives, they headed over to the beach, looking for sea shells.
Back in the arcade, Brad was hitting big on the virtual poker games, getting tons of coins.
"Yeah baby!" he yelled as he got a Royal flush and collected his winnings.
Ian was busy practicing some maneuvers in the paintball range. He hid behind a wall and sprayed a cardboard cutout rapid fire. "Too easy, where's some real competition?" he said.
Suddenly, a group of Dynamites came into through arcade, brandishing lasers.
"I had to say that" Ian said as he got out of the booth, paintball gun still in hand. "Brad lets kick some ass!"
"Right!" Brad yelled. He rushed over to his friend and tackled a Dynamite back onto the wooden floor of the boardwalk while Ian was taking on the other ones.
He shot the gun, hitting them with paintballs to stun them for a moment. With a quick jump, he kicked one into a game, sparks flying everywhere. "Come on motherfers!"
Ian swept one in the leg and kicked it into a wall, its head coming off. Another charged at him, but was kicked right in the face and destroyed. He took out his cell phone and called Nick, telling him what was going on. "Be there in a minute" Nick responded, him and Rye running to the arcade, while the yellow ranger called Chloe, her and Sarah coming rushing over.
Brad knocked a laser out of a Dynamites hand and shot it at the circular alien, destroying it. Another came at him, but he trucked it over a rail, shooting it in the process.
The four others were running over to the arcade when they encountered a line of Dynamites and stopped dead in their tracks at the site of the lasers pointed at them.
"Um, Nick, Chloe, I think you should morph, now!" Sarah cried as the Dynamites fired at them, but the four moved out of the way.
"Power of Thunder!"
"Power of Water!"
Nick and Chloe morphed and charged into battle, Rye and Sarah behind them as backup.
Chloe hit one with a punch to the head and chest as it tried to grab her, while Nick plowed one through glass. Rye and Sarah teamed up to take another out and took its laser, shooting at the other aliens.
"I guess its time for the heavy artillery" Nick said. "Thunder Claw!" Electricity gathered around his hand and formed a yellow claw like weapon on his wrist.
"Water Pulse Fin" Chloe called as a bubble exploded in her hand, leaving a blue fin blaster.
Nick attacked one with his claw, steel meeting the steel of the Dynamites arm. He took it back and jumped over the circular enemy, chopping it in the neck and punching it in the back. Another tried to attack from behind, but was caught with a clutch of electricity form he claw.
Chloe jumped down onto the beach, three Dynamites following. "You're in my territory now" she said cockily as she ran by the water, the aliens firing blasts at the sand behind her, trying to trip her up.
"It won't be that easy" she said as she got into a knee high tide. One Dynamite fired a blast square at her chest, but she fired her fin down at the water and was thrown into the air from the pressure. She fired a wave of water at her enemies from the sky, destroying them.
"Come on" Nick said to all of them "We still have to get to Ian and Brad". They all ran as quick as they could to the arcade, where they saw Ian and Brad fighting off Dynamites.
"Okay, time to take this fight to the next level." Ian said as he tried to catch his breath.
"Power of Flames!"
He was engulfed in flames and transformed into the red ranger as he threw a Dynamite into a building.
Brad was busy in the arcade fighting one with his football style, tackling and pushing. A punch to the chest was blocked and he plowed the alien down with a charge into a wall. "Take tha-ahhhh!" he was caught off guard by a kick to the back from more Dynamites. Rye and Sarah came to his aid, Rye firing the laser gun at approaching aliens and Sarah kicking them out of the way.
"Brad, are you okay" Sarah said as she looked him over while Rye destroyed the remainder.
"Yeah, where are the others?"
"Outside, battling the remaining Dynamites"
"I'll help them" he said as he got up, his shirt ripped and bleeding from the chest. He looked down at his Element Cell and saw it glowing green. "It's happening. Its giving me my power!"
"Not so fast Brad" said a voice in the air. The three of them looked around and a woman with white hair and resembled a witch appeared. "You'll be coming with me!"
She fired a ball of clouds at him that took him and her away, no traces of them left.
"Burning Ambition!" Ian called as he slashed the last Dynamite in the chest, killing it. "Where are the others?" He along with Chloe and Nick demorphed.
Sarah and Rye ran out of the arcade and told them what happened.
"Damn!" Ian cursed. "Did you get a good look at the woman?"
"No, but I think I recognized her" said Rye as he looked around for any trace of Brad. "It looked like that Cloudex woman Dr. Ancialient told us about. We should get back to him."
Ian nodded and the non rangers grabbed onto the one with the powers, teleporting to the AE Base.
AE Base
"And then she and Brad disappeared" Sarah finished, pacing around the room.
"Rye is right rangers. That is the method Cloudex uses to capture prisoners." The doctor said as he addressed the rangers.
"Another thing doc" Rye chimed in. "Brads Element Cell glowed green right before he was captured, so does he have his powers to protect him?"
"Unfortunately not Rye. The powers only come about in a time of need, and Cloudex stopped him from activating them." Dr. Ancialient sighed. " But his powers were awakened, so he will get them very soon. For now, go back to the arcade and try to find any clues to where Cloudex took Brad; I am sure there is something that you missed.
Dark Core Ship
"Cloudex, I am very pleased with you" Acrodono said, looking at an unconscious Brad on a screen. "What do you plan on doing with him?"
"Master, I plan on using him to test our monsters. He is in my domain right now, waiting to be punished for being a human, a stepping stone in our domination."
"Excellent, but what are you going to do about the five others?"
"They will be there soon. I left a little gift for them."
Arcade
"Where could he have gone!" Nick yelled as he and he others checked around the arcade for anything that could lead them to Brad or Cloudex.
"I have a feeling that he is in some sort of dimension." Ian said as he looked under a slot machine. "The doctor could have traced the morpher and found him if he was still in this dimension.
Sarah was looking in a pile of rubble when she found something.
"Hey guys, look here!"
They all ran over to see what she found, a gold and white sphere with markings of clouds.
"I wonder what this is?" Rye said as he pushed a button on it, creating a golden light around them, sending them out of the arcade and into a coliseum on top of clouds.
"Rangers, welcome to the Cloud Arena" Cloudex cackled from a throne across from them, Brad standing in the center of the battlefield.
