Chapter 2
Alastor POV: I sat up and moved my legs to hang over the edge of the bed while everyone in the room simply looked at me. Ozma/Oscar was stroking his chin while trying to wrap his head around the information he had just received. "so, what you're saying is, you were born with silver eyes, you were a part of the great war and are the leader of the Grimm rangers?" he asked me. "yes." I simply replied. "but that's impossible, no one besides Salem could have lived that long." ruby pointed out. "unless they were immortal." yang then added. I looked up at them. "because I have a cursed aura." I replied. "I died once before. But the gods took pity on me and both asked me to be their champion and leader of the rangers. So, I agreed and they gave me a cursed aura that practically keep me alive and unable to grow older than my current age of 32." I added. "so, you met them as well?" ozma asked while everyone else just looked at me. "indeed. And they told me to find you. They never said why." I replied. The rest of the night was filled with questioning and interrogation.
A few days had passed and my wounds had fully healed. I walked down the stairs to grab myself something to drink when ruby ran past me. "woah! Slow down red!" I exclaimed before laughing. "sorry al! But you might want to get outside. We need you for this." ruby apologized. "need me for what?" I asked before walking outside to be greeted by the rest. "well, it's about time you got up." qrow said before taking a swig from his flask. "shut it. Now what do you need me for?" I asked. "well, we think it's time you go after the "Ship" you crashed landed in." Oscar said. "oh, crap your right! I totally forgot about my zord!" I exclaimed while facepalming myself with my Grimm claw. "w-what's a zord?" ruby asked.
"A zord is basically a giant mechanical being that can combine with the 3 others of its kind to morph and create a giant robot called a grimmzord" I explained as we all walked towards the crash site. "woah! That sounds awesome!" yang exclaimed. "yea, it does sound pretty cool." Weiss replied. Weiss had come to visit and to find out more about what happened. "oh, does it? Well, if my theory is correct, I might be able to train the four of you in being the next generation of Grimm rangers. If you are compatible with the grimming grid." I spoke.
"what's the grimming grid?" tai asked. "the grimming grid is a kind of universal power grid that allows every ranger to harness the abilities of Grimm and morph into a Grimm ranger." I explained as we all arrived at the crashed zord. "HOLY CRAP! That thing is huge!" Blake said while staring at the downed zord, her mouth and eyes wide open. "if you think that is big wait till you see the grimmzord." I said with a laugh before jumping into the crater and accessing my Grimm ranger abilities to open the cockpit and climb inside. "come on, come on. Work damn it!" I exclaimed while trying to get my zord to power up. "what the hell? Why aren't you working for me red?" I asked as the zord never budged.
Just then ruby climbed up to the cockpit. "what's going on?" she asked. "red here isn't replying to me anymore. I don't know why." I replied. Just then rubies eyes glowed a slight silver glow and red began to move. "what the? No way." I exclaimed as I looked up at ruby, she was glowing with a red and black Grimm armor around her body. "AAAAH! Get it off get it off!" she was freaking out. "ruby calm down." I replied. "I know what's going on. The grimming grid has chosen you to be the new leader of the rangers. And the pilot of the T-rex Grimm zord." I pointed out as I motioned for her to take a seat in the cockpit chair. "but I thought you were the pilot." she exclaimed.
"I was, until now. Ruby, you are now the leader of the Grimm rangers and Protectors of Remnant." I replied as the Grimm zord rose up from the crash site and shook off the dirt and roared. "WOAH!" everyone down below exclaimed as they all saw the giant mech standing at 44.0 m tall. Just then the head of the mech lowered down and the cockpit opened to reveal ruby sitting in the chair in her new grimmified power suit. "look guys! The grid chose me to be a ranger!" ruby exclaimed with a lot of glee in her voice. They all looked at me. "don't look at me. The grid chooses its rangers at random. I may have discovered it but even I don't know how it works." I shrugged my shoulders as I replied. What happened next would change the course of their lives forever.
