April 15, 2015 A.D.

Location: Power Chamber, Command Center.

Trini:"In this time it is asked of you to safeguard the values of this legion. And in this time you respond with honor, for you have been chosen among the many to hold the position of a Power Ranger. A Position of Honor. In this action there are certain undeniable responsibilities that shall never be forgotten. The following is The Code of The Ranger:

1. Never use the power against the values.

2. Always respect anything that respects the values.

3. Never disobey command from the divine.

4. Accept the appropriate responsibility for each and every of thine actions or inactions.

5. Never cease to uphold the values.

6. Hold thy true identity exclusively to those persons authorized.

With the code in mind understand that the means to serving is a great burden that will be respected. Formally an oath must be conducted proving that the stated is thoroughly understood and agreed upon."

"I, Trini Kwan of Earth respect the will of the ranger. This respect is never forgotten."

"I, Tommy Oliver of Earth respect the will of the ranger. This respect is never forgotten."

"I, Rocky DeSantos of Earth respect the will of the ranger. This respect is never forgotten."

"I, Tanya Sloan of Earth respect the will of the ranger. This respect is never forgotten."

"I, Adam Park of Earth respect the will of the ranger. This respect is never forgotten."

"I, Kat Hillard of Earth respect the will of the ranger. This respect is never forgotten."

Trini:"Announcing and documenting the formal inauguration of the second legion of the Earth's Power Rangers.

At this time I beseech the power upon thee."

Four teenagers have just plunged into the darkness of responsibility.

An ever consuming hell.

The life of a Power Ranger.

Tommy:"I see before me a most powerful force. But I mustn't lie. There is a grim chance that we shall prevail victorious. However, our fight will not be in vain. The men and women that stand before you will become your brothers."

Trini:"We have chose you to be the commanding officers. This means that you are the most qualified of the recruits. Be proud. We are to be the absolute authority, yet you will hold rank over the other 164 rangers of this army. We are to defend Earth. You will soon know what it means to be a soldier, and a painful life it is. I cannot prepare you. All I can do is offer my advice, which is simple; keep your heads straight and never lose sight of the goal."

Tommy:"Look to your brothers, for they are the only ones that will care for you. We must complete our recruitment. Then we will ship out. You are not to see your families. There is a dormitory within the complex. Alpha will show you the way. Dismissed."

Trini storms out into the hall way.

Tommy follows her as the recruits travel toward their quarters.

Trini leans up against the wall, her face serious in nature.

Tommy:"What's going on?"

Trini:"Memories."

Tommy:"I need you on this. I need your support. When we are out there on the battlefield, I need you to be me. Together we can win this war."

Trini:"I can handle the battlefield. I can handle the killing. But it's this life that I cannot bear. This pain. I will be your soldier. I just can't be your friend."

Tommy looks to say speak then glances at an empty women.

He knows he is fortunate to have the slightest piece of willingness she can offer.

//log.on/red/tommy/01/ I pray for my friend. I can still call her that. Even though I feel like I lose a little piece of her every day. Trini is becoming what I have feared. And now that she is here. I don't know if I can save her. This war may be the end of her. Although she may not fall in battle, her soul will not be able to sustain it. I pray for you, my friend. /log.off/red/tommy/01/

Midnight.

A 17 year old boy lies awake in his bed.

Staring into the ceiling that is too dark to see.

His life up until a few hours ago has been one of "normality".

He knows as much as his peers within the room, that his life will never see "normality" again.

That any hope of a life has been shattered.

Adam is a student at Angel Grove High School.

He is a quite individual.

Yet he understands this world he lives in.

A world of free from a conscience.

Devoid of respect.

Even now, as he lay in the darkness with three complete strangers.

He feels this ever so tightening grip of evil around him.

For to long has he sat back and watched as the world he once loved destroyed itself.

This is his opportunity.

The four young rangers all retain conciseness, as they cannot sleep.

Not a second.

They are to be warriors.

From teenagers to soldiers in a matter of one day.

The weight of a ranger keeps them ever fearful and alert.

April 18, 2015 A.D.

Location: Hall of Zordon, Command Center.

The vast chamber is a place of ceremony.

In the name of the great Zordon.

A place of meaning.

170 men and women stand.

An army.

Earth's Power Rangers.

The might of a dying race.

Tommy's voice fills the silent room:"We are humanity's last hope. We are the only wall that separates her majesty from the monstrous Machine Empire. A relentless foe that will not show us sympathy. They have come to eradicate this universe of life. We are here to defy them. To show them that the Power Rangers are not such a prey. That we are a persistent group of warriors. I am honored to stand here today with you. Together we shall fight! And if we must, together we shall die! Into the depths of hell we shall go!"

The 170 strong teleport to Aquitar.

Into their war.
