He stared up at his new school with a look of contempt. He could tell that this place was run by cliques, like his old school had been. That meant he would be immediatly stuck with the outcasts, since he only wore dark colors. His musings were interupted by the sound of giggling. He grimaced. Preppies; just what he didn't need. He turned to see the typical group of rich, spoiled rotten girls. "Who are you?" one asked snobbishly. He gave the girl the finger and strode inside. This new boarding school was turning out to be hell already. "You know where the office is?" he asked a guy, his voice containing a wierd mixture of irish and southern accents. The guy pointed down the hall. "Thanks." he said as he walked away.
As the first bell rang, he stepped out of the office and was immediatly swept into the tide of students, most of which ignored him. With a snort of disgust, one of the said students pushed him. Or tried to. "Get out of my way, bottom dweller!" the guy shouted. "Fuck off." he said as he continued. "What's your name, tough guy?" the guy asked, his hand going to the duelling saber at his side. "Dave Burnside, though it is customary for the challenger to give their own name first." Dave said as he brushed his flame red hair back, a useless gesture, it defied gravity on it's own. "Very well then. I am Jonathan Rodriguez, top of the class, and master swordsman!" he began grandly. "I get it, big man on campus." Dave said as he stalked off, oblivious to the stares he was getting. Jonathan stared after the newbie. No one walked away from him, not since the last tournament. Dave, was it?
In the ladies room, a flock of girls were standing in front of the mirrors applying massive amounts of make up, while spreading the latest gossip. "Hey, did you hear about the newbie? He totally dissed Jonathan!" one squealed. "I know! It was so totally gnarly!" another said. "What are you guys gossiping about now?" a voice said as the door opened to reveal a stunningly beatiful latina girl. "Oh, hey Myra! Did you hear about the newbie? He dissed your boyfriend!" one squealed, while jumping up and down clapping her hands. Myra rolled her eyes. "Calm down girl." she said exasperatedly. All other speech was cut short by the second bell ringing. A storm of swearing went up, upon them relizing they were late.
Dave sat in the back of his first class, wait for the teacher to call him up and have him introduce himself. "And now, I would like you all to welcome our newest addition. Dave Sean Burnside, from the Rolland Heights Academy." the sensei said. Dave stood and strode to the front of the class. "Would you care to tell us more about yourself?" the sensei asked. "Hell no." Dave snorted as he went back to his seat. "Go to the office, Mr Burnside." the sensei said. "With much fucking pleasure." Dave muttered as he strode out, knowing that he was already being gossiped about. He might as well give em something good to talk about.
As he walked down the hall, he was vaguely aware that there was some one coming around the corner ahead of him. As he rounded the corner, he collided with what he assumed was a female body, who he knocked flat on her arse. Looking down, he saw it was one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen. "You aight?" he asked as he offered his hand to her. She nodded and grabbed his hand, pulling herself up. "I'm Myra. Myra Fernandez." she said with a grin. "Dave Burnside, trouble maker extrodanaire." he replied, flashing his trade marked devil-may-care grin. "Oh, you're the guy that everyone's talking about." she said. "I reckon so. See ya round, gotta pay a little visit to the head master." he called over his shoulder. "Already?" she aloud before continuing down the hall.
As Dave sat in the front office, he stared out the wall. Yes, wall. The front wall of the office was made entirely out of glass, so every one could see who was being sent there for trouble. The staff thought it was a way to make an example out of them. Anyway, back to the story. Dave was growing quite bored by sitting around and doing nothing, so he reached into his left boot and pulled out a hunting knife. After a moments thought, he glanced around the office, and threw it at the headmaster's door. It sank into the door, and by the sound of it, had gone through to the other side. And scared the shit out of the headmaster. "That should get his attention..." Dave muttered as he pulled another knife out and prepared to luanch it at the door as well. He stopped when the secratary cleared her throat. "What?" he asked, clearly annoyed. "You are aware that students are not permitted to carry weapons not related to their classification." she said snobbishly. "Really? Well suffice it to say that mine permits me to carry all of them." he said as he leaned back on his chair. "And what would tht be?" she asked with a roll of her eyes. "Never fucking mind." he said angrily as the bell rang, signalling the end of the first mod. He stood and left the room. The secratary stared. Now why in the seven hells would he say something like that?
Myra slid into her seat in their second class, and was surprised to see that Dave was sitting in the back, talking with one of the school rejects, the geomancer Derak Hodwell, and his partner in crime, the shaolin, Ian Johnson. Her thoughts were interrupted by another body sliding into the seat next to her. It was her long time friend Antionette Taylor. "Who's the new guy?" she asked, nodding toward Dave. "Um, I think his name is Dave Burnside, or something. Why, are you hot for him already?" she teased. Antionette blushed as their sensei entered, signaling the beginning of class. "Today we will be having a practical lesson on aerial combat. You will be paired in teams of three, all battling at the same time. At the end of class, I will reward the best fighters with a match against the school champ." the sensei said.
Dave looked at his two new friends. "Who's the champ?" he asked as they moved to a mat. "That Rodriguez guy you damn near got in a fight with this morning." Derak said as they prepared. "Begin!" the three luanched each other into the air, throwing punches at each other as they passed. As Dave landed, he noticed how no one else was really trying that hard. With a shrug, he leaped back into the air, this time blocking Derak's shin splinter kick, and reversing it to knock Derak out of the air, and out of the battle. As he and Ian landed, they both failed to notice most of the class watching them. The two leaped into the air again, fists and feet colliding. Dave landed, and barely rolled out of the way of Ian crushing him upon landing. The pair ignored the sensei when he called for all combatants to stop. Ian suddenly unleashed his chakra into a blast of fire, while Dave unleashed his into a blast of lightning. The two blasts canceled out, as Dave flew through the smoke and dealt an earth shattering blow to Ian's gut, knocking him out of the air. The sound of clapping could be heard, making the three turn toward the sensei. "Very nice. Though I did say for every one to stop. Mr. Johnson, you and your new friend have both earned a match of your choosing against the school champion." The sensei informed them. Dave and Ian nodded and left the room as the bell rang.
Myra and Antionette both walked out of the room slowly, talking animatedly. "So, what kind of match do think they'll choose, Annie?" Myra asked. "They're right there, so why don't we ask them?" Antionette said sarcastically. "Okay." Myra said cheerfully as she bounced up to the group. "Hey, Dave, was it?" she said. He nodded. "My friend and I just wanted to know what kind of match you were gonna have." "Six Man Tornado Tag Hell in a Cell, why?" he said sarcastically. "Dude, you know we can do that, right?" Ian told him. Dave's eyebrows disappeared into his hairline. "Really? Well, fuck me!" he said, sounding genuinely surprised. "No thanks, I don't bend that way. Derak here might, though." Ian said as he ducked a heavy blow from Derak's textbooks. "Well, I guess we'll be having a hell in a cell match." Dave muttered to his two new friends as they walked into the gymnasium. It was huge! "What, didn't you guys have a gym at your old school?" Ian asked seeing the look on Dave's face. "We had a basketball hoop." Dave said with a shrug as the coach, a tall man wearing a blazing red martial arts gi, walked in. The class immediatly sat down and shut up. "All right, for those that don't know me, I'm coach Jason Lee Scott. For those of you that do, good for you." Jason said as he walked back and forth in front of the class. "Alright, today, we'll be doing archery." Jason said above the groans. "And befroe anyone even asks, we are NOT doing a unit on basketball, so don't ask again." he said as hands shot up.
"New guy, can I talk to you for a second?" Jason called over the noise of everyone getting up. Dave nodded and jogged up to his new coach. "I understand that you, Hodwell, and Johnson will be challenging the champ and two partners of his choosing in a hell in a cell match." Jason said, cutting straight to the point. Dave nodded. Jason next question was cut off by the ground shaking as if it were an earth quake. Before anyone could respond, a group of what appeared to be human staues made entirely out of granite materialized, led by a creature who resembled Brickneck from Timeforce. "Give them to me!!" it shrieked at Jason as the creature's minions attacked, forcing most of the class to flee, seeing as most of them hadn't been classed as anything more than a mere fencer. Those who had been classed as anything else was too inexpierienced to do anything but fence, so they were fast retreating as well. Except for six people: Jason(of course), Derak, Ian, Dave, Myra, and Antionette. The creature's minions attacked with abandon, leaving Jason to face the leader. "What the heck are you talking about?" Jason snarled at the creature as he ducked under a roundhouse kick and luanched into a tornado kick, which was blocked with an open palm strike, sending Jason spinning the other way. As he recovered, he met by a brutal rush of attacks. He grinned. It had been awhile since he had done this.
The other five seemed to be having the same problems, every time they defeated one creature, another would take its place. "I grow tired of this!" Derak yelled as his eyes glowed a royal purple, signalling he was about to start using his special powers. "I hear ya, bro!" Ian yelled as his eyes began to glow an eerie yellow. The two nodded to each other and did about five handspings toward each other and stood back to back, chanting something. Derak clapped his hands together and slammed them onto the ground, causing massive spikes of earth to erupt around him, ala Full Metal Alchemist. Ian's fist's blazed to life, seeming to be consumed by fire as he punched his enemies at lightning fast speend, disentigrating them.
Antionette and Myra had also began using their special powers, which consisted of Antionette forming whips out of her chi on the tips of her index and middle fingers, and basically disecting her opponents. Myra seemed to be chanting an arcane spell, and the sounds of animals tearing her opponents to shreds filled the air around her.
As every one around him used their special skills, Dave seemed to be either unable to, or extremely unwilling to. As another creature attacked, it was met with an axe kick, knocking it backwards as Dave did a spinning edge chop, caving another's chest cavity in. As he destroyed another one, he saw a creature about to attack Jason from behind, possibly about to kill him. Dave's aura pulsed around him as he summoned his power from deep within: the power of the storm. A vortex of lightning swirled through the room, destroying everything but the leader. It hissed and vanished, only to appear behind Dave, grab him, and disappear. "What the hell were those things?" Derak panted, none of them relizing Dave was gone, due to all the dust his attack had kicked up. "They're called granites." Jason said. "I think you guys should follow me." he said shakily. "Hey, where's Dave?" Antionette asked suddenly, as all the dust settled. Jason went pale. "They took him."
In the creature's lair, Dave stood surrounded by marble gargoyles, all holding glittering diamond weapons. "It's good to see you again, Dave." a voice said silkily. "Olrox." Dave said blandly. "Oh, good, you do remember my name." Olrox said as he stepped into the circle. He, too, looked like a staue, only he was comprised of many differant stones. "Tell me, do you remember anything else?" he asked as he paced regally. "If you mean about those stones, no. Now let me go, you have no reason to hold me." Dave said as he shifted around, feeling slightly put out at all the gargoyles staring at him with their blank stares that seemed to look straight through you.
In Jason's office, the other four stared as he pulled a book from the shelf, opened it, and pressed a button. They stared even more when the book shelf moved to reveal a door. "Very cloak and dagger of you, coach." Ian muttered as they all followed him in. "Now is not the time." Jason said as the others stifled giggles. As they walked into a high tech looking lab, Jason punched a few buttons on one of the many consoles, revealing five crystals: blue, red, white, and a curious looking bklack crystal that was streaked with green and gold. The four monocolored crystals flared to life and floated toward the teens. "Uh, coach, wanna tell us what's goin on?" Annie said as the white gem floated in front of her, the yellow gem floating in front of Myra, the red floating in front of Derak, and the blue one floating in front of Ian. "I thought as much. He said with a sigh. "Wait, don't tell me, we're the power rangers." Derak said with a roll of his eyes. "How'd you guess?" Jason said mildly. "Just lucky." Derak said with a shrug.
"Do you know how to activate these?" Jason asked. His question was answered as there were four bright flashes of light. "I think we close our eyes and focus." Annie said. The others nodded and did. As he began to focus, Derak saw a powerful mage standing before him, smiling. With a flash of light, he was changed into the magi ranger, a ranger who looked a bit like the solaris knight, but with an ornately carved staff instead of the lamp. Ian saw before him in his mind the phantom ranger, who nodded and began to vanish. in a flash of light, Ian had become the phatom ranger, the only differance being the stone on his chest plate was blue. As Antionette focused, she saw a ninja bow to her, then vanish. When she opened her eyes, she had become a ninja ranger. And finally, as Myra focused, and saw a woman sitting astride a tiger holding an ash long bow with a sword at her side. Both bowed, and vanished. she opened her eyes, and had become the beastmaster.
"What about the other one?" Ian asked suddenly, as they demorphed, drawing everyone's attention to the still dormant stone. "That one? I have no clue. I tried to see what it was, but all I herad was a lot of roaring." Jason said. "Can I hear it?" Myra asked. Jason nodded and hit another button. A massive roar filled the room, sounding as if the room would fall around their ears. As it ended, they looked at Myra. "It was a dragon." she said. Anything further was interrupted by an alarm going off. Jason looked toward the monitor, and turned to them. "Go time." he told them. The four of them looked at their wristwatches, which had become their respective morphers.
"Ready?" Derak asked. The others nodded. "Unleash the Storm, Guardian Form!" they all shouted, and in a flash of light, they were transported to the school's pritine front lawn, where a legion of granites were tearing it up. "Them again?" Ian asked, annoyed as a pair of lethal looking claws appeared on the backs of his hands. "It seems so." Annie said as she drew two short bladed swords from the sheathes at her sides. "Don't they have anything better to do?" Myra complained, resting a massive hamer on her shoulder. "I highly doubt it." Derak said with a snort as he pulled out his staff and destroyed two with a fireball, drawing their attention to the rangers.
As the granites all ran toward the rangers, the said rangers began firing blasts of energy from their respective weapons, effectively shutting down the charge. The remaining granites began shrieking, and drew from thier from kneecaps swords, like Ransik used to. The rangers split up and destroyed the rest, only to be flung backwards when they exploded and their remains formed four giant versions of the granites. "Uh, coach, we could use some help here!" Ian said into his communicator. "Summon your zords!" Jaosn said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Let's do it, guys!" Myra yelled as they climbed to their feet. "Magi Zord, arise!" Derak yelled as he cast the spell to raise it. A mechanized version of the wizard he had seen earlier erupted from the earth. "Isis Falcon, descend!" Myra called as the fiery former wild zord screamed down from the heavens. "Ninja Star, you're up!" Annie called as she struck a ninja jutsu pose, calling what appeared to be an exact replica of the samurai star, except white. "Phantom Ray, rise!" he called, and from the hole Derak's zord had created, rose a Manta Ray like zord, which transformed into a humanoid creature. The four began sprinting and leaped into the cockpits of each zord. The four faced off with each granite.
Derak's zord swung its staff with enough force to crush the graite, which it did, only to have it's legs remain, and constantly dodge any and all attacks thrown its way. As the falcon dodged in and out of blasts of fire being shot at it, it slashed the granite with its talons and then used its sonic scream attack, shredding it, all except the arms. The Phantom Ray, in warrior mode, was using its tail blade to chip away at its granite, which left the chest and head. And finally, the Ninja star flew around its opponent, destroying all but the stomach and a set of horns.
The parts that remained all flew towards each other, and combined into yet another granite, that seemed to be impervious to thier attacks. "Is it megazord time?" Ian asked over the comm innocently. "That would be a good idea." Derak shot back. The four zords flew toward each other, ready to combine. The Magi Zord just stood there as the Ninja star split in hlaf and formed the leg armor, the Phantom Ray going back to Manta mode, and forming the chest plate and arms, while the Isis falcon attached to the back, forming the helmet and wings.
As Jason watched the battle on the screen, there was another alarm. Taking a glance at another screen, he stared. Dave was stepping o0ut of a portal, talking to Olrox, the leader of the granites. What the hell was going on? He continued to watch, and was shock to see Dave actually shake hands with him, and vanish. "Did you enjoy what you just saw?" he heard a voice say behind him. Spinning around, he stared. There stood Dave, normal as the he was when he vanished. "How did you-?" Jason stopped in mid-sentance. "How do you know Olrox?" Jason asked as dave took a seat. "It's long story." he said as he watched the rangesr destroy the granite. "You do relize that they'll never beat that thing at this rate, right?" Dave said as he tossed something to Jason. Jaosn caught it deftly and glanced at it, then did a double take. It was his old power coin. "Go. I got this place." Dave said as he cracked his knuckles and pulled up to the computer. "How do I know I can trust you?" Jason asked. "Ask him." Dave said as he nodded to a very familiar looking head in a tube. "Zordon!?"
well, what do ya think? remember what I said in the disclaimer: constructive criticism only.
