Once A Ranger, Forever A Hero
Prologue – A Hero's Story

A/N: Hey guys, I've been going over some stories and I realized that I never relaborated on 'Once A Ranger' and it was actually a pretty decent story starter. So here it is, a couple years later. Hope you like it. ENJOY! R&R PLZ!

Tommy sat down in front of his camcorder and pondered a long while on what to say. The last few days had been nothing short of a test of conviction. He glanced at Kira, asleep on the couch, her body had finally given in to its need for rest because nothing less could have made her close her eyes. He himself didn't think he'd be able to sleep for a while. Not after everything that he'd seen, heard, learnt in less than a week. He hoped that getting the story out of his system might help so he pushed the record button on the camera and leant forward with his arms braced on his knees, hands clasped in front of his mouth. "In my time as ranger, often things were black and white. There's a monster, it's evil, you destroy it. That's just how the story goes. But what I am about to tell you is one of those times when it wasn't so easy. It involves rangers, past and present, teaming up to take on a…threat. This is about what really makes a hero, not just defeating the monster of the day but shouldering the responsibility of what comes with it. This was the time we as rangers collectively bore the consequences of our victories because there are consequences, ones we don't often see. This time we did."
