Disclaimer: My first venture into the Power Ranger Fandom. I do not own Power Rangers other than my OC's. There will be slash in here. You get to guess whom! There is also the element of time travel and there will be flashback chapters (just as a warning if things get confusing). Obviously I have no BETA so I apologize for any grammatical mistakes in advance. WARNING: SLASH (BOYXBOY) in this fic. Griffin will be traveling back in time to when the Thunder and Wind Rangers have already become a Team and Cam has already gained his Samurai Powers.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
QUICK RECAP
Griffin and Ryan continue bickering like an old married couple
The first destination is revealed as Turtle Cover
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
The drive to Turtle Cove was an uneventful as could occur with Ryan behind the wheel and Griffin playing the role of the clueless navigator (well he has to have a role doesn't he?). The drama was about to go down three times as bad once they approached
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
The pair came to an abrupt halt as they pulled up to a checkpoint with a guard within it.
"MacDonald and Blackwell here to see Ms. Enrilé" Ryan said to the guard as he showed him some paperwork.
The guard checked the list. "Everything seems to be in order gentleman. Enjoy your visit at Adam Fisher Elementary," he said as he pressed a blue button to raise the gate.
When they were out of the guard's range of hearing Griffin decided to speak up.
"What's with all the security?"
"It's a very elite school," Ryan said without a second thought, as he pulled the car into an empty spot.
"Oh" Griffin said pursing his lips.
"That's why I had you dress all spiffy today."
"I thought you just wanted eye candy."
"That too dude. Guilty as charged. But seriously impressions are everything" Ryan said getting out of the car.
"I have to say you have good taste, Mitchell."
"Of course I do Bradley. I have you don't I?" Griffin nearly fell out of the car as Ryan said this.
Griff quickly regained his composure as he stood up, dusted himself off, and made the next comment:
"I never pictured you in pink Ryan?"
Ryan blushed.
"Only real men wear pink" Griffin said catching up to the taller blonde who was already several steps ahead of him.
Ryan remained oddly silent as he stopped in front of the door to Adam Fisher Elementary School's main entrance. Ryan turned his attention to a speaker and red button on the right side of the double doors. There was also a small monitor above it.
Ryan pressed the button and proceeded to say:
"Rhett MacDonald and Garrett Blackwell for a 1:10 appointment with Ms. Enrilé."
As Ryan finished it a face came up on the screen. A woman sitting at a desk appeared.
"Ms. Enrilé is waiting for the two of you gentlemen. It is a pleasure to see you again Mr. MacDonald. I hope your visit is productive."
"Thank you Elisabeth" Ryan said as the two were buzzed in, allowing the door to open.
"Care to explain that Ry?"
"What can I say? The ladies dig me."
"More like they see you as a potential shopping companion."
"What?" Ryan asked.
"Gay men are chick magnets."
"I'm not gay."
"Gay, bi, it's all the same to them. I mean seriously eye candy like you are quite rare amongst Rangers you have to admit. And you have great martial arts skills and have been trained and versed in many areas, including some questionable ones I am sure you do not wish to disclose. Like I said before you have great taste. And pink really suits you."
"How did you…?" Ryan said stopping in his tracks while placing a firm grip onto Griffin's shoulder, causing him to whirl around to face the Titanium Ranger. Ryan knew he would never live down the pink. Sure it wasn't his favorite, but the tie was a gift from his sister.
"You are not the only one who did his homework."
"Griff… I'm…"
"Don't worry about it. We're going to be late if we don't book it. We shouldn't leave Alyssa waiting." Griffin said as he proceeded to increase his pace down the hall. "And by the way Ryan…"
"Yeah?"
"Promiscuous behavior is something I cannot and WILL NOT tolerate." Griffin whipped his head around again as they walked to the end of the corridor.
'This is going to be either the mission from hell or a funny story to tell our children' thought Ryan as he chased after Griffin
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
The two ended their journey as they approached the final door in the hallway.
"Ryan before I was asking about our names, not your womanizing skills."
"Don't worry I'm not a man whore. You're the only one for me Griffy."
"Thanks Ry. That makes me feel SO special" Griffin sarcastically replied.
"That hurt."
"Tough love dude. Grow a set of balls and suck it up. Love hurts."
Griffins statements lately had been giving Ryan mixed signals which were greatly confusing and distracting the taller blonde. 'Can't we just kiss and make up?' thought Ryan. 'This will either lead to the best sex ever or the a head ache the size of the Grand Canyon.'
The two ended their conversation as Ryan turned the doorknob and opened the door. The sight before his eyes was definitely not what Griffin was expecting. He knew that he was in a school, and that Alyssa worked in a school, but he didn't expect to find a former Power Ranger as a kindergarten teacher. A principal or gym teacher maybe, but he never expected her to teach children who weren't even potty trained in many cases.
"Samantha can you take over? My 1:10 appointment is here. I will be back as soon as I can."
"Sure thing Alyssa" her teacher's aid replied before the former Ranger took them out of the classroom and to her office.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
"Ryan isn't it a little early for you and your partner to be looking into schools for a child?" Alyssa asked with a tinge of laughter laced in her voice.
"WE'RE NOT TOGETHER!" the two blondes cried out at the same time, though Griffins said it due to embarrassment and Ryan blushed slightly at the implication.
"Very funny. Taylor sends her regards" Ryan replied.
"How are Eric and Taylor doing anyways? I haven't heard from her in a while."
"On the rocks like normal."
Cue a growl and glare from Alyssa.
"Kidding" Ryan began defensively with his hands waving in the air. "The two are doing well."
"Now where are my manners? I am Alyssa Enrilé, former White Wild Force Ranger."
"Griffin Bradley, and it's a pleasure to meet you" Griffin replied shaking Alyssa's hand.
"How can I help you gentlemen today? I take it there is a reason Griffin here was brought in under a false identity."
"First, I need you to give this to Cole."
"Was something stolen? I take it that it's not a Red Only Mission?"
"You are correct. We need his contacts. I will be in touch with you Alyssa when we have more information. Outside of communication to Cole WE were never here. I know things are awkward, but you're the best person for the job."
"Why so secret?"
"That's where Griff comes in."
"You two can count on me."
"Thanks" came out of both blondes' mouths.
"No problem. You owe me one Mitchell."
As the two got up to leave and were half way out the door she made a comment that topped even the best out of their mouths.
"And by the way, you two make a cute couple."
A Yaoi Fan girl (an extremely minor one in this case) had stuck again. A very agitated Ryan was "unfortunately" left with the task of carrying out an unconscious Griffin. He had enough dignity and respect for Griffin to ignore any urges to cop a feel.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
A color tells a lot about a Ranger's personality. The Red's are the brave and strong leaders. They often follow the rule of no brains, but plenty of brawn. They lead, but are unafraid in many instances of asking for help. Red's have something to prove with their leadership role.
The Greens and Blue's alternate between comic relief and brains. When not serving as the brains of the operations, Greens are reserved and level headed. Blues on the other hand are often more analytical and less likely to be impulsive.
Black is for the reserved. Green shares similarity with Blue, but holds a deeper kinship with Black. Except for a few instances, the two colors rarely exist in the same Team. They are the strong, silent type that are dependable to a T, but are defensive and afraid to let their guards down. Unlike Red's and Blue's, Green's and Black's to this point are still all Male as Pinks are all Female.
Yellows are determined and share the responsibility of being the Heart of the Team with Pinks. Yellow Rangers are strong willed and are unafraid of letting their voices being heard. At other times they are soft-spoken and more passive in the workings with their teammates. Yellow Rangers are the hardest to read and try to understand solely based on their body language and past actions.
Pinks are compassionate, gentle, passionate, dedicated, fierce, and adaptable. More often than not the Pink Ranger is the energy and rallying point for a Ranger Team. She is the one who maybe a helpless damsel one moment, but a force to be reckoned with the next. She is the wildcard of the time, but is most often the 'airhead.' Behind every good leader is a woman. In many instances she is the one Red turns to in difficult decisions.
Metallic colored Rangers and Special ones like "The Quantum Ranger" of Time Force possess unique stories of origin but often feature a determined, gifted individual suffering tragedy and forced to undergo redemption of some sort.
Male Yellows and Female Blues generally follow the personality and character norms for their color but also of the opposite color (for example, in the case of a Male Yellow he will have the traits of a Yellow Ranger as well some of a Male Blue Ranger, his general counterpart). Male Yellow's steal the role of airhead from Pinks. Female Blue's are the most level headed, sympathetic, and confident of any incarnation of Yellow or Blue. due to them sharing aspects with Black Rangers.
White is a unique color as is can be part of a Core Team or as the Sixth Ranger. In a Male he can take the personality traits of Red, Black, Blue, Green, or occasionally Yellow. He tends to be a loner and distant. He is afraid of being taken advantage of and comes from a broken past. Female White Rangers hold a strong Maternal Instinct and concern from their teammates. They borrow elements from Blue, Red, Pink, and Yellow, but primarily Pink.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
Alyssa was the epitome of a White Ranger. She was capable of maintaining her cool while juggling a careful balance between humor and seriousness. She held the welfare of others over herself and had all the makings of a leader if given the chance. However with the existence of the Red, Yellow, and Lunar Wolf Rangers it was unnecessary. While she may not have the strict mindset of Delphine, the White Aquitar Ranger, the courage of Jen Scotts, the Pink Time Force Ranger, or the persistence of her teammate Taylor, the Yellow Wild Force Ranger, Alyssa had all the makings of a true White Ranger, let alone a leader and ally in the times that were on the horizon.
She may not officially be a Pink Ranger, but she held all the qualities deep down. Her little black book was enough evidence for that.
Alyssa is the kind, nurturing member of the Wild Force Team. If any of the Rangers were sick or injured, she was the one tending to their wounds, not Princess Shayla. Alyssa is the peacekeeper of her team as she is the one who is forced to resolve or reduce tension between team members. Her kind and gentle demeanor is truly fitting of Pink Ranger, while her courage and determination make her status as a Tiger Prominent. Her honor and passion are what reaffirms her status as a White Ranger. After Cole joined Wild Force, Alyssa was the once forced to attempt to maintain peace between Cole and Taylor. As Red, Cole took control of the team. Taylor has been the leader up to the point and felt robbed. She did not like how her position was taken from her 'overnight' with the appearance of a Red Ranger. The two would often have conflicting ideas on what was best way to run the team, but in the end it would always work out.
Alyssa often took care of the others Ranger's when they were injured as well due to her strong maternal nature. She was as handy in the kitchen as on the battlefield or hitting the books. She cooked and read stories to Danny and Max. She was well versed in martial arts. She kept her body sound by riding her bike to school and taking dance classes at Turtle Cove University. Her mind remained strong by her dedication to her studies even when her duty as a Ranger came first.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
She definitely was not the defenseless little bookworm many thought she was, sure she may not have the bubbly exterior, but she held the heart and spirit of a true Pink Ranger while also maintaining the qualities of a White Ranger as well as the principles of any "Sixth Ranger."
And like any good Pink Ranger she fell for the cutest guy available of her team and/ or it's allies.
Case in point: Merrick.
Everyone thought Alyssa like Cole and that Merrick liked Princess Shayla. In fact those were only half-truths. In truth Cole liked Alyssa. And Princess Shayla and Merrick liked each other at one time, but that was before Merrick had been forced to take upon the curse mask of Zen Aku. With all of the changes taking place in her former love, she was unable to see him as the man he once was. She did not blame him for his selfless act of heroism and was able to respect for his decision to save the others, but she could not love him for it. He had gone from the perfect and handsome warrior she had fallen for and become a monster in every sense of the word.
When he had been brought back to don the power of the Wolf once more, it was Alyssa, not Princess Shayla that made him feel accepted amongst the others.
Merrick was one of the original six warriors of Animaria. He witnessed the battle between Master Org and Animus. When Animus fell, Merrick took it upon himself to defeat Master Org by donning a cursed wolf mask, which gave him the power of the Duke Org Zen-Aku who was sealed within it. With this additional power, he was able to defeat Master Org, but it came at a price however as he was soon corrupted by the mask's power. Thus Zen-Aku was able to take control of his body. His teammates sealed him within a stone coffin to protect the world from his new form.
After being released it was not an easy task to rehabilitate him to the side of the good. He was released by Nayzor to destroy the Wild Force Rangers. There were small windows of opportunity where he (Merrick) was in control. The most notable example was one Alyssa would not let him live down after he revealed it to her. One time while he regained control he saw Alyssa injured and unconscious. He didn't attempt to destroy her. Instead her bandaged her wounds.
It would take time but he would come to the side of good. He remained a loner for quite some time. Many believed he maintained feelings for Princess Shayla after he awoke in the present day, but that couldn't be further from the truth. While he knew the curse would take a toll on him, he never imagined it would affect his relationship with the princess. At the same time Merrick could not have been happier as he would never have been able to be with the true love of his life that love him unconditionally, Alyssa.

In a darkened room somewhere in an unknown location an individual received a phone call.
The gloved hand picked up their phone and listened to four words coming over the line.
"We have a problem," said a voice over a silver and black cell phone.
The gloved hand put the hand down and rushed out of the room.

Author's Note
I know that most of you won't realize it, but this is a re-release as I accidentally released chapter 20 as chapter 19 (due to a file naming error on my part) but it served its purpose in the long run of giving you a taste of great humor lol.
I will try to go back to five thousand word chapters eventually. I
Know I said I would try to this summer, but I have been cornered by so many plot bunnies lately that I have been coming up with good (but disjointed) ideas that don't flow well enough to form longer chapters. And I am going back to college in a few days so the release of Chapter 21 could be delayed more than the usual Tuesday (or the occasional Thursday) launch. It will be out Sept 2 at the earliest. I apologize.
If it's any consolation I am working on another Ranger Project. I just need to know if I should abandon Slash/Yaoi in it or not.
Let me know. Your opinions count!
For an idea of the morphing sequence would kind of look like, look on You tube for Digimon Frontier Spirit/ Beast Spirit Evolution clips. Imagine that with a fusion of Ninja Storm.
I liked the actor who plays Ryan's name (Rhett Fisher) so I stole it for alias. Griffin's will make sense eventually.
