Angel Grove Season One: With Attitude

This is a five season series which takes place in darker version of Angel Grove in Universe X on Earth-312. Centered around 24 year old Lin Watanabe a Japanese-American bartender who is trying to piece her life together under stressful circumstances. What will she do when a new responsibility finds her and four other young adults? Only time will tell.

Episode 1: Pilot, Part One

It is night time in Angel Grove, California, however the nightlife was just getting started. The High Life was the place to be. An upscale nightclub where the most valuable of MVPs and celebrities come to share the wealth, and those that does dirty business in discreet. The festivities were under way with the sultry sound of The Weeknd playing through the speakers with energy.

[Chorus]

I don't want to sacrifice

For your love , I try

I don't want to sacrifice

But I love my time...

As the energy of the nightclub fills the air waves, one person was not focused on the music. More so her job was Head Mixologist, Lin Watanabe was stressed in more ways than one, however, her mind is on making enough money to have a living. Being busy was never an issue when it came to Lin, but recently she wants to make enough money to make sure her stress is lifted. "It's so damn busy here, but I can't bitch about it..." She quietly exclaims as she takes cares of her last two patrons for now. She's a medium petite type with noticeable curves with jet black hair and honey brown eyes with a tanned/olive skin to match. She prepares for the second wave as the song continues.

[Verse 2]

Uh, every time you try to fix me

i know you'll never find that missing piece

When you cry and say you miss me

I lie and tell you that I'll never leave, but

[Pre-Chorus]

I sacrificed (Sacrificed)

Your love for more of the night (Of the night)

I try to put up the fight (Up a fight)

Can't tie me down (Down)

As the song continues, Lin takes notice of the young man that walks to the bar, skin of bronze with long locs in a ponytail, medium average build, no taller than five foot nine, red wine eyes with a small beard, and a golden nose ring. He wears a suit with a medium black trenchcoat an white gym shoes. Lin thought he looked nice, but stayed focused of the job at hand. "What can I get for you?" She asked, hoping that he would know. However, he just smiled and said, "Well I was hoping that you can help me, I'm new to drinking and I hope that I can have something smooth." Puzzled and a little frustrated at his answer, she retorts, "Well let's see your ID then, sir." The young man chuckles as he hands in his ID.

"Luckily I got my American ID on time..." he exclaims as Lin looks at it. She raises her eyebrows at that comment and says, "You're not from this country?" He replies, "My father is African-American, but my mother is Egyptian. I was born in Cairo, came to the States two months ago. "Well...Malachi..." she says as she looks at his ID again, "I'm going to recommend something simple, how's a whiskey sour sound?" Malachi, shrugging his shoulders says, "That sounds great, Basil Hayden would be lovely." As Lin makes the drink, she makes an effort to analyze Malachi further. "So...what are you doing here, Malachi?" He shoots a puzzled look and replies, "I'm sorry?" Lin continues to ask bluntly, "You don't look like the type of person to come to this type of environment, especially when you're choosing 26 years of age to now start drinking. What brings you here?" Malachi steels himself after his surprise and chuckles before he answers, "Believe it or not, I come here more often than you think. I bodyguard for one of the celebrities that come here often."

Lin thinks before it comes to her, "Wait a minute, J. Cole?" "The very same." Malachi states before he laughs. "Normally I'm in the VIP and it's all business, but he gave me the rest of the night off tonight." He drinks his whiskey sour and he pulls out two hundred dollars to give to Lin. " I love this song, one of my new favorites. Thank you for my very first drink, it was a...wonderful experience, miss..." She interrupts him to introduce herself, and extends her hand. "Lin, Lin Watanabe." Malachi smiles and shakes her hand. "Malachi Balthazar. My friends call me Mali." He gets up and walk away however he turns to her one more time. "I hope to see you again." As he walks away, Lin couldn't help but think that, "That was weird, but he was nice...I think." She thinks as she gets ready for her next round of patrons as the song ends and rotates.

Next Morning

Lin awakes with a ton of back pain after the incredibly busy shift at the High Life the previous night, and now her phone is ringing as she gathers her bearings knowing that it's her best friend Johnny Drake. "Ugh, J it's seven o'clock, what do you need?" Johnny was excited and was talking fast. "Hey, I'm sorry L, but I need you to come over! I found out how to reverse engineer the structure of the gate so we can discover the emitting signal in the cave!" Lin couldn't help but laugh to herself, she immediately thought back to how they both became friends back in college. Both were fascinated in science and engineering, Johnny ended up having a major crush on Lin, and both have dated for six months and Lin realized that they were both different and broke it off with good intentions, Johnny still reminisce over that time, but valued their friendship. They have been best friends ever since.

"Okay, J. At least let me shower and eat first." Lin exclaims as she yawns. "Okay, cool. See ya, L!" She hangs up and couldn't help but notice the mass amount of tips she made the previous night. A good amount of it came from the mysterious young man she met at her bar. She couldn't help but to feel that something was off about Malachi Balthazar, he was unusually nice and in a few ways charming. It was off putting to say the very least. For, now Lin will put that on the back burner as she receives a text from Johnny. "Change of plans, meet me directly at my dad's cave. I got a good feeling about our discovery! -J" Lin sighs in frustration as she gets ready for her "adventure" with her best friend.

6 hours later at the Drake Cave

Lin exits her car as she sees Johnny's car parked, she walks up to the tall guy dress in blue plaid, blonde comb over and blue eyes. "Okay J. What in the hell is a good reason to drag me out of the bed in seven in the morning?" He smiles and says, "This." as he pulls out his energy tracker. Lin sighs in frustration and says, "I know it's our tracker, I help invent it." Johnny rolled his eyes, " Obviously, however, while you were at work last night, an asteroid crash in my cave, so I turned on our tracker, disassembled and ruled every regular bits of natural energy, and look...there are five different rays of cosmic energy!" Lin now astonished looks at the tracker as quickly as possible. "Whoa, five? All in that one asteroid?" Johnny nods as he answers her question, "Yeah. there used to be six, but I don't know if it relocated or it was taken...I'm not sure." Well let's get in there and see what they are!" She says as they both go deep into the cave, with the tracker in hand, Johnny and Lin began their search.

As they draw near the source of cosmic energy, they heard a monstrous voice. Lin, took notice and whispered to Johnny, "Quick, hide!" They hide and turned off their tracker as they listen to two voices in a different pathway of the cave. "Quit your whining, Lavus! She has to be here somewhere. I have the teal cosmic stone, she can't be far." The monster called Lavus was uneasy, and nervously spoke, "B-But Goldar, are you sure that this is a good idea? I've heard nasty tales about Rita Repulsa, she's really scary!" Lin looks puzzled and a little shocked. "Rita Repulsa? She can't be real..." Johnny looks at her, "You know about Rita Repulsa?" Lin frowns as she tries to keep her voice low. "My mom used to tell me myths and legends about Rita Repulsa as a child for one of my bedtime stories...apparently she almost destroyed Japan in another time, in another universe...however she was stopped by five warriors using cosmic energy grid..." Johnny, look forward with wide eyes, "Yo, if she's real, and if they're trying to resurrect her. We have to stop them." Lin sighs, as she tries to figure it out. "Yeah, but how? We're not warriors and we are definitely don't have powers." After Lin says that, different colors of light appeared behind them.

As they turned around, it was the cosmic asteroid they were searching for. "Holy shit..." Lin exclaims. Johnny stands there with wide eyes, "My sentiments exactly." The asteroid was emitting five different colors: Red, Blue, Black, Yellow and White. Johnny looks the asteroid as it speaks to both of them, "TOUCH THE STONE." Lin walks toward the asteroid in shock, "What the hell..." They both looked at each other before Johnny spoke. "Should we?" Lin exclaims, "I don't know...Normally, I don't want shit to do with this...but Rita cannot be resurrected..." Before, Lin touches the stone, Johnny yells, "Wait! I'm doing this with you...one...two...three!" As they touch the asteroid, they each receive different visions of a color and an animal. For Lin it was a red dragon, and for Johnny it was a blue bat. "No way..." they both said as a blue and red stoned bracelet locks around their left wrist.

Meanwhile, Goldar comes across a crystalized tomb, preparing to awaken Rita Repulsa, "You will be free soon, my Empress. You will rule this planet with an iron fist, and crush those in your way." he raises the teal cosmic stone and begins chanting the resurrection ritual. "The power of the Teal stone shall resurrect you and your power, my Empress! Rise my Empress! RISE!" The sky gets darker as the cave erupts, the teal stone glows and crystal is breaking from Rita's tomb. Lin and Johnny run towards the bright light and finds Lavus and Goldar breaking Rita's tomb. "What the hell are doing?! What the hell are you?!" Lin demands, Goldar smiles as he answers, "My name is Goldar and I'm dooming your world!" he laughs maniacally as the crystal breaks sending Lin and Johnny to the ground. Stepping out revealed a voluptuous figure of a tanned brunette in a green latex bodysuit with heels. She has almond eyes that glow teal with a golden crown. "This is not happening..." Johnny exclaims as he and Lin looks at the revived Rita Repulsa. As she stretches, she asks, "Goldar, my loyal hand. How delightful it is to see you again, how long has it been?" As she receives the stone from Goldar, he takes a knee along with the nervous Lavus and replies, "It has been ten-thousand years, my Empress." Rita smiles as she grips the stone. "After ten-thousand years, I'm free..." She raises stone as she yells, "YEAH!" As a ray of teal shoots to the sky and it's surrounded by electric charges.

To be continued...

A/N: I am back in the fanfiction scene and along with my script writing, I will be more dedicated to this project. Each season of Angel Grove will be 10-12 chapters depending on the length of the season. This will be a two part pilot series surrounding the first two rangers, The Red Ranger, Lin Watanabe, and the Blue Ranger, Johnny Drake. After the pilot, I will introduce the other 3 rangers in those next 3 episodes, also we will have a mentor return in the next pilot episode. If you have an inkling as to who it might be, don't hesitate to guess as you please read and review. Any constructive criticism (positive and improvements/suggestions) would be welcomed, however I will not tolerate bullying and verbal/mental abuse. Lin and Johnny are 24 years of age. The character of Malachi is 26, however he won't be a main factor in this season, he will just reappear to interact with Lin a couple of times, however that will literally be it. Please read and review, feedback is so welcomed.

P.S., the song from the beginning is called Sacrifice by The Weeknd from his new DAWN FM album. I DO NOT OWN THE SONG, NOR THE POWER RANGERS FRANCHISE. Just the OCs and the story.
