Jason
They'd chosen to teleport smack dab in the middle of the city, that way they could fan out into smaller groups and teleport as many survivors to safety as possible. When they appeared on the field, they were surrounded by an alarming collage of smashed and burning vehicles and strewn, partially charred corpses. Jason's eyes scanned the horrible scene through his visor, only the tightening of his grip on his Power Sword making him feel any better at all.
He'd heard Kimberly break into a sob beside him, and glanced over to see the Green Ranger putting an arm around her shoulder. She bellowed "This...this is horrible..it's..unbelievable!" Tommy was quick to console her. "Kim, hey. It's okay. We gotta be strong, this is what we do. Zordon told us exactly what to expect. As long as we're together, we'll be fine."
Tommy's voice was reassuring to more than just Kimberly. It gave Jason the strength he needed to further lead in this disaster. He heard Billy utter "Jesus" for the first time in his life, while Zack and Trini were having their own conversation amongst themselves to cope with this new reality. It was time to step up, and lead. He squeezed the hilt of his sword.
Just then, one of the charred corpses actually lifted its arm with a sickly, depressingly weak moan and extended it towards the Red Ranger's foot. He shuddered a bit in his armor, even though he couldn't actually feel those bony fingers when they touched him. A quick slice with the Power Sword cut through its arm like butter, and he wasted no time in finishing it off with a sharp thrust to the head. It served as a good example of the fearlessness he expected out of all of them.
"Alright team! Every minute we waste is another minute good people could be losing their lives. We're gonna split up into three groups to cover more ground, we keep in touch by communicator, and if things get too hairy, we teleport back to the Command Center to devise a new strategy. As you can see, these things go down pretty easy. They may have been people once, but like Zordon said, just go for the head. It'll take more than a couple of creepy ghouls to take down the Power Rangers! This is why we do what we do, now lets get out there and save some lives!"
His words of encouragement had pepped the team right up, all of them but the Pink Ranger brandishing their weapons and responding loudly, "RIGHT!" He walked in front of the Pink Ranger, still being held by Tommy. "Right Kimberly?" She seemed to take a moment, pulling herself together, before making a firm fist, raising it into the air, and materializing her Power Bow in an outburst of pink energy. "Right!" She responded, with her usual confidence.
"That's what I like to hear. "Now Trini and I will head North, straight down this street. Zack and Billy, you guys check out the West, toward those alley ways. People could be hiding anywhere, make sure you check everything, dumpsters, locked cars, homes." Zack and Billy nodded, Zack speaking up. "Right, we're on it." He took a look at the Blue Ranger and they nodded to each other and sprinted off toward the alley ways, brandishing Axe and Lance.
The Blue Ranger stopped suddenly. "Trini..be careful, alright? You just got back, and we've barely had any time to catch up at all. I have a lot of stuff to show you, I-" Trini smiled behind her visor. "I will, don't worry about me Billy, just watch out for yourself, okay?" Jason whipped his sword through the air. "What are you worried about Billy? She's with me." Billy nodded, hesitated, and then took off to catch up with Zack.
"Tommy, you and Kimberly head Southeast over this big pile of rubble, find out what's on the other side. The Green Ranger nodded "We owe you one, Jason. Thanks for letting us do this together." Kimberly nodded in agreement, overtaken with courage now. "Alright, let's do this!" She started up the rubble, her suit not giving her much trouble at all, and Tommy followed, taking her hand and disappearing over the other side with her.
Jason looked to Trini. "How are you holding up?" The Yellow Ranger glanced down a bit. "I'm okay, my heart weeps for these people though. What could have happened here..? It's horrendous."
The Red Ranger put a gloved hand on her shoulder. "I don't know. Maybe Rita's been cooking up some biological warfare in hiding, terrible as it is to think about. I'm sure Zordon will have some answers soon. In the meantime, we need to get moving, lives are at stake!"
She nodded, and the two of them were racing up the road, and into the world of survival horror.
