Episode 1 "A Divine Return"

A man was sitting at The Pizza Palace, a local hangout in the town of Blue Springs, looking at a laptop computer, and drinking a soda. He had shoulder length blond hair, goatee, and an impressive physique. He sat there wearing a loose, white, T-shirt and a pair of jeans. He studied the laptop screen, and every so often you could here a hmm, and see a look of amazement on the man's face. A few other people are around and everyone was minding their own business.

Another man walks into the pizza place, and after looking around, picks up a T' shirt from a sales rack and stuffs it into his jacket. He walks around a little more, and stops in view of the blond guy. He looks around, and this time picks up a CD and hides it in his jacket.

The blond guy looks up, and notices this, and waits to see what the guy is doing. He then heads for the door.

The blond guy gets up and walks toward him. The thief, noticing that he has been discovered, bolts out the door. The blond guy also starts running and makes chase toward the thief.

After a few moments, the blond guy caught up with the thief and apprehended him. He walked the thief back to the pizza place, and took him to the front desk. He pulled out the stolen items, and shows the owner. The owner told the thief to get lost and not come back into this store again. The owner was an older man, balding on top and wearing a button down shirt.

"Thank you sir, here, let me pay you."

"No that's all right I'm just doin my job."

"Well, let me at least give you your soda free. What's your name, son?"

"Well my friends call me Rad. I have just taken it on as my job to stand up for what is right."

"That's awfully noble of you."

"I'm just doing what I think everyone else should do. Maybe, I can change the world, one person at a time. You have a great day now."

The elder man nodded his head. "Mmm hmm," he mumbled.

Rad walked over to the table where his laptop and soda still sit and started to sit down. Just at that time, the ground shook with a thud. Everyone looked around. Then another thud, and it was harder. Everyone at the Pizza Palace panicked thinking that it was an earthquake. Rad knew differently from his years in Angel Grove. He quickly ran outside to find a giant creature walking down the road. A beautiful girl was standing on a building nearby, directing the monster to attack the city. The girl was petite, had black hair and wore an all black skintight suit.

"I am Decepta," she yelled, "and I am the queen of evil. You will all serve me, or you will feel my wrath."

Rad looked around. People were running.

He heard a familiar voice, which he hasn't heard in years.

"Rad, now is the time, you need to use the Power Coin to become the Divine Ranger, Zordon's spirit said."

Rad pulled it out of his pocket and held it in his hand. He raised it to the sky.

"Divine Ranger Power!"

Rad instantly entered into the morphing grid, which instantly educated him on everything that he needed to know about being a Power Ranger. He learned that many of the previous ranger teams powers were developed from the Divine Ranger. The overall look of the Mighty Morphin White Ranger was derived from the Divine Ranger. The Turbo Ranger's helmets were designed with features based on the Divine Ranger's helmet. The Divine Ranger's technology, though ancient, was far more advanced than any Power Ranger's team to date.

A white glow consumed his body, as a jumpsuit formed around him. It was white, with various black and gold stripes, and arm and leg cuffs. A Mighty Morphin lightning bolt appeared on the left side of his chest, to signify that this was the original ranger power. The lower beak of a Falcon formed against his chest, then folded up to connect with wings on each side of his head and a black visor which connected to the upper beak. The helmet built itself around his head interconnecting parts to look like a falcon head was around him.

Rad immediately returned from the morphing grid with white energy shooting out of him as he stood there.

"What? A Power Ranger?" Decepta asked in disbelief.

"Not just any ranger, the Divine Ranger."

"I'll crush you. Rage, crush him!"

"Yes, my queen," Rage responded obediently.

The giant monster known as Rage started walking toward Rad. He had no way to defend himself.

"Well, here goes nothing." Rad said.

Rad held up the Divine Staff and a white beam came down and made the Divine Ranger grow. He became the same size as Rage.

"Don't just stand there, attack!" Decepta ordered.

Rage roared as he charged The Divine Ranger. They instantly locked arms. The Divine Ranger made a charge of energy flow from his hands into Rage, and sent him back quite a ways. He charged the Divine Ranger again, and was again blasted back with white energy. Rage, now getting frustrated, sent a blast of energy toward the Divine Ranger. It was no use, as it ricocheted and knocked rage down. Decepta realized he was no match for the Divine Ranger. "Rage, let's get back to the space base, you need more power."

Rage shrunk down to a human size and landed next to Decepta and then they both teleported into the air.

Rad demorphed back to normal size.

"Wonder what that was all about?"

"Rad, you can't defeat Decepta alone. You will need other rangers. There are 4 pendants on my home planet of Eltar. You must travel there and retrieve them," Zordon stated.

Rad reminisces about walking around on the streets, breaking up fights, and defending people.

"I'll be fine by myself. I've always done things on my own, and don't need anyone else to slow me down."

The Divine Power Coin disappears from his pocket and appears in front of him. The coin disappears again with a flash of light.

"To be the divine ranger, you must conform to its will. If you don't then the powers will abandon you," Zordon stated.

Rad sighs, "What do I have to do?"
