Disclaimer-i happen to live in a non-power ranger-owning establishment, or you could call it a house, either way works.
Chapter Two-Carrying on the Legacy
"Where are we?" Kimmie was the first one to regain the power of speech.
"I have no idea." Kaylie answered.
"Me either." Ted added.
"Do you know where we are Ann?" David asked his twin suspiciously.
"No! Why would I know."
"Probably cuz it's your fault we're here." Jason told her.
Before Ann could retaliate, a door opened, and an old man walked into the room, followed by what looked like a robot. Ann's mouth dropped open. She recognized the man, but she hadn't seen him in twelve years, to the day.
"Oh my god." She said softly. "Grandpa Zordon."
The old man smiled at her. "Little Annie."
Jason laughed under his breath. Little wasn't exactly the word he would use to describe his sister. Especially since she was older and bigger than him.
"And David and Jason. It is good to see the two of you again."
"We've met?" Jason asked looking confused.
"Twelve years ago. You were a tiny baby then. That was the only time we actually met. And we also have Kimmie, Kaylie, and Ted. I knew all of your parents. They were all the kindest and most generous people I have ever met. Especially under the circumstances in which we knew each other."
"Umm. Not to be rude or anything." Ted said. "But who exactly are you? And where are we?"
"We are at the Command Center, which is located in Angel Grove. Which I trust you've heard of."
"Yeah. I kinda live here." Ted said.
"I know." Zordon said. "And as Ann said, I am Zordon. But I feel I should explain myself to you in more detail. By the way, this is Alpha Fifteen."
He gestured to the robot beside him.
"Greetings." The robot said. He stopped himself before calling them rangers. They didn't know yet.
"Years ago, I came to Earth, and set up this command center. It is the command center of the original power rangers of earth. Your parents were all power rangers. Some more times than others." He said pointedly looking at Ann, David, and Jason. "I was their mentor. And I have called you here to bestow upon you a great honor. You are the new power rangers."
Everyone just stood there in silence. They were the new power rangers?
"I know this comes as a surprise to you. There haven't been power ranger on earth since Kimmie's parents were married. Two days before in fact. However, the time has come once more, when earth needs protection from the evil that is stirring. There is no longer any power that I can give you, but Alpha will send you to the planet Phaedos, so that you may receive powers there. Upon your return, you will have the power necessary to morph, and in time defeat your enemy."
"Umm, are you serious?" Kaylie asked.
"Yes, I am quite serious. I realize that you are being thrust into this quite blindly, your parents were too, but you are the chosen ones. You are the power rangers."
"If you say so." Kaylie said uncertainly. "I'll take your word for it then."
"If you are ready rangers." Alpha said. "Then prepare for teleportation to Phaedos."
They just looked at each other. None of them were anywhere near ready for this. It had barely sunk in that they were power rangers, but they knew they must except it. Ann nodded, and the six of them were gone in a flash of six different colors.
"Good Luck rangers." Zordon said as they disappeared.
One second, they had been standing in the command center, now they were standing on a pile of rocks, with bones scattered everywhere around them.
"Well, this must be Phaedos." Jason said. "Reminds you of home doesn't it?"
The twin's nodded. Their dad was always leaving his work everywhere. Mainly the bones he had found on several of his digs.
"Come on." Ann said. "We must be looking for something. I just wish I knew what it was."
She didn't have to wait for an answer. Out of nowhere, a figure wearing a long cloak appeared. It held a rather lethal looking staff in its hand.
"Umm, hi?" Ann said, shocked by the sudden of the appearance by this strange person.
"Who are you, and who sent you?" The cloaked figure asked.
"Umm, we were sent by Zordon." David said.
"Zordon? Then you must be the new rangers. Follow me." The woman said, turning around and walking away.
After looking at each other, the six of them followed the mysterious woman to wherever it was she was going. As it turned out, she led them to the ruins of some old structure, it kind of looked like a temple. The woman stopped and turned around.
"You have been chosen by Zordon to become the next generation of power rangers of earth. You will be given the power of the ancient Ninjetti warriors. They are represented inside each of you in the form of an animal spirit."
The woman sprinkled a glittering dust on them, and all of a sudden, they were wearing different colored uniforms. The woman walked up to Ann first.
"Ann, peaceful in nature, but a leader at heart, you are the dove. Peaceful and overall a messenger. You will lead this team."
"David." She said. "Strong willed and clever, you are the eagle.
"Ted. Determined and wise, you possess the crow, although I sense the frog around you. It has claimed you, as it's own.
"Kaylie. You are a very spirited person, the rabbit will suit you well.
"Kimmie. You are full of heart, but gentle and curious at the same time. You are the tiger.
"And last of all Jason. You bear the mark of the falcon and the crane. The spirit of both fills you, as it does you brother and sister. Brave and true, you are the lion."
The six rangers looked at each other. Each of them was wearing a different color. Ann was in pink, David in blue, Ted in green, Kaylie in yellow, Kimmie in purple, and Jason in red.
"I realize that it is customary for the red ranger to be the leader of the team, but the pink ranger will lead this team. The falcon, who was white, lead the team in his time. But now, you must go. Return to Zordon, and he will tell you what to do."
"Wait, before we go, who are you?" Kimmie asked.
"I am Dulcea, master warrior of the planet Phaedos. And guardian of the great power that resides here."
And all of a sudden she wasn't there anymore. Well, more accurately, they weren't there anymore. Less than two seconds later, they were no longer facing Dulcea. Instead they were standing once more in front of Zordon, who was smiling at them.
"Now that you have received your powers, you should return. Your parents were all rangers at one time, and they will think the worst has happened if you cannot be found. But first, here are your communicators. Ann, you already have yours. I will contact you when your help is needed. Good bye rangers, we will see each other very soon."
And in another flash of light, they were back at the Oliver house, standing in Ann's bedroom once more.
"Am I the only one here who has totally no idea what just happened?" Kaylie asked.
"Definitely not." Ted said.
"Well, as far as I can tell." Jason said. "We are the power rangers now."
"We don't need a genius to figure that one out." Ann told her brother.
"Do you think we can tell our parents?" Kimmie asked. "I mean, they were power rangers. The original ones I bet."
"No. I don't think we can." David said. "I mean, if we could then Zordon would have told us. Besides, you would think that they would have mentioned it to us, don't you? We are their kids."
"David's right." Ann said. "The identities of the power rangers has to remain a secret. If our parents need to know, then we will tell them. But only if Zordon tells us too."
"Agreed." Kimmie said. The other four nodded.
"Then we should go back out there, before they notice we were gone." Ann said.
So the six of them, the power rangers, went down the stairs, and back out into the backyard. In the half-hour since they had last been there, their lives had been changed forever. Nothing would ever be the same again.
a/n-this didn't move around too fast, right?
