"RINGGG", the alarm goes off in Fred's room as he struggle to fight off the snooze monster. Finally coming up with enough strength to hit the dismiss button on his alarm, he slowly got up from his bed, only to lie down on his bed once again mumbling "five more minutes...", before falling back to sleep.
It was a nice sunny day at West Hill High. Students are swarming the hallway, approaching their classes. Tiffany, head cheerleader and one of the most popular girls in school, was walking through the hallway, receiving much attention from her "fans" nearby. Tiffany walk past them with a smile and headed towards her locker to get the books for next period.
Taking out the necessary books from her locker and placing them in her favourite pink backpack, she quickly walked towards her class. It's History this period, and Ms D is going to start on an interesting topic on Greek mythology as a discussion today, and Tiffany do not want to be late.
When she enters her class, she saw familiar faces in class, the usual jocks around the corner, the nerds studying as usual. Taking her seat besides one of her close friend, Alice, Tiffany noticed something different about her.
"Oh my god! You got yellow highlights!" Tiffany exclaimed in glee.
"Took you a while to notice this didn't you" Alice smirked, raising one eyebrow up.
As the girls continued their talk on Alice's new hairstyle, Ms D entered the class, causing the class to head back to their respective places. After the usual greetings, Ms D begin to mark attendance and start on her topic on Greek mythology.
As soon as she was about to start on the 12 Olympians, her class was disrupted as Fred made his appearance.
Gasping for air, Fred mumbled" Sorry...Mrs D... Overslept... Again..." while wiping of beads of sweat off his face with the sleeve of his red shirt.
With a sigh, Ms D said," Quickly head to your seat, we're about to start on the main topics"
Fred made his way towards Brock and Edison, two of his closest friends, so close their almost like brothers. Brock is a bodybuilder, hence his huge physical appearance, while Edison is the vice-president of the student council, therefore making him the voice of the students. Brock was wearing a simple black shirt with jeans, showing off his muscles while Edison was dressed smartly in a blue button on shirt and smart pants. Finally seated in his seat, he quickly took out his red binder from his bag to catch up on the topics that he'd missed.
Somewhere on an unknown part of Earth, a shadowy figure is creeping around a cave. "It must be here somewhere" mumbled the shadowy figure. "The seal from the legendary war must be around here somewhere"
As he continued to approach deeper into the cave, his search finally ends. "Ah, I finally found it." A smirk went across his face as he went ahead to continue with his plan.
Mumbling a spell from the ancient times, he begins his work to unlock the seal of Cronus. As he mumbles the spell of the ancient, the dark seal of Cronus begins to appear on the floor of the cave. As he continues his spell, a creature from the ancient time appears. The creature begins to take form as a shape of a vampire, except that her right leg was shaped like a human leg made of bronze while her left foot was brown and shaggy with a donkey's hoof. With skin as white as a chalk, eyes completely red, an Empusa appear from the seal. "Greetings saviours, Servant of Hecate have arrived."
"Excellent," said the shadowy figure," I require your assistant to help me gather mortals"
"Mortals?" exclaimed the Empusa in shocked," Why do you require mortals?"
"I need the life forces to regain my powers. I've just broken out from one of the seals and my power is weak. Therefore I require the life forces of mortals to regain my power in order to summon more troops for Cronus's army, now go."
Upon hearing that, the Empusa teleported off to gather life forces for the unknown shadowy figure.
As the bell rings at West Hill High, which signals the end of the school day.
Fred made his way towards his locker, where he bumped into Tiffany and Alice.
"Oh, hi" said the young man, with a slight blush on his cheeks.
"Hi Fred," replied Tiffany.
Alice gives a slight smirk on her face. Though Tiffany doesn't know about this, but Fred had a huge crush on Tiffany. While, this news spread like wildfire when Tiffany was off to cheerleading nationals, and Fred somehow made the news stop spreading.
"Oh, look at the time, I'm going to be late for cheerleading practice, see you guys later", said Tiffany, while rushing off for training, not before giving Fred a slight wink, leaving the young man in a daze.
"Hey, she's gone, earth to Fred", said Alice, while giving him a slight hit on the head.
"Ya, I know that," replied Fred, irritated, but still with the love-struck look still in his eyes.
"Speaking of trainings, don't you have soccer practice, like now?" said Alice, reminding the young man, and awaking him out of his trance.
"OH SHIT," exclaimed Fred "Thanks for the reminder Alice! Owe you one!" said Fred as he rushed for practice.
As Tiffany approached the mats on the training ground, she saw a new face amongst the crowd.
"Hi, I'm Tiffany, head cheerleader, and you're?" introduced Tiffany.
"Hi, I'm Emily, I just transferred over from Angel Grove high" introduced Emily.
"Well, welcome to West Hill High, then, come 'on, we're about to start training"
As Tiffany made her way towards her team, the eyes of Emily flashed red, before revealing a devil-like smirk on her face.
As Alice was making her way to the study hall to study for the upcoming tests, she bumped in to Edison along the way.
"Hey Edison!" exclaimed Alice
"Hey Alice, where are you headed to?"
"I'm heading towards the study hall, wanna come?" invited Alice.
Accepting the invitation, both of them headed towards the study hall before hearing sharp piercing screams across the hall. With a look of confusion on both of their faces, they quickly headed towards the source of the screams. When Alice and Edison arrived at the scene, which was the cheerleader's training ground; both of them got a shock, a cheerleader, with skin as white as chalk, eyes completely red and with the feet of a donkey and a foot of a bronze human leg were at the scene.
"I am Empusa," exclaimed the creature, you will all be offered to the titan of mortality, Iapetus!"
Before Empusa begins to take another step, Ms D appeared with a bright flash.
"Stop it Empusa!" exclaimed Ms D, before turning to the students "Quick, run!"
The students quickly headed out of the training ground, as Brock and Fred appeared after hearing the screams. The five students quickly lead the other students out of the training ground. Upon seeing the students evacuating the training ground, Ms D revealed her true form as Demeter, goddess of Nature Her Greek battle armour wrap around her body and armed with her sacred baton, Demeter begins attacking the Empusa, who seems to put up quite a fight for Demeter. The five students, upon seeing the transformation of their teacher, were in a shock and disbelief.
"Oh my god, MS D IS A NOT HUMAN!" exclaimed Alice, with disbelief in her eyes.
"I must be dreaming aren't I, someone please tell me I'm dreaming", Said Fred while rubbing his eyes.
"So cool…." stated Tiffany in awe.
As the fight between Demeter and Empusa continues, Dionysus, God of wine, appeared too, in his battle armour and sacred whip, offering a helping hand to Demeter. Empusa, noticing how the odds are not in her favour, retreats while swearing to get back at the two Olympians. The two Olympians noticed the five students hiding in the corner. Dionysus gave a nod of acknowledgment to Demeter, before Demeter headed over to the five students.
"Come 'on guys, it's not safe to talk here", before teleporting the five students together back to the command centre.
Upon arriving at the command centre, which has improved and been redesigned significantly with the introduction of the latest technology, Demeter turn towards the five students and stated "I know you've many questions regarding the issue you've seen just now." The five students, still speechless, nodded their heads in agreement.
"Allow me to explain. It started out centuries ago, when the legendary war between the gods and the titans broke out. It was tough, but we managed to overthrow the titans and sealed them up. But Zeus stated that the seal is temporary and will be undone eventually. The bodies of Hephaestus, Hermes, Ares, Athena, Aphrodite, Apollo and Artemis were severely damaged; hence we had to transfer their souls to power gems and transferred their bodies back to Mt. Olympian in order for them to recover fast. Now that the seal has been undone, we've been instructed to find young and brave warriors to take up the power of the Olympians and to fight against the titans once more, to take up the position as Power Ranger Spirit Force"
After a moment of silence, Tiffany broke the silence," So, we're chosen as power rangers?"
Demeter and Dionysus nodded in agreement. Demeter headed towards the controls of the command centre, and selecting a file. On the screen appeared five, different coloured uniforms that looked strangely familiar to all of them. "Now, the five of you must wield the powers of the Olympians to combat the forces of Cronus," said Demeter. "You have been selected to be the Power Rangers Spirit Force"
"You've got to be joking," said Fred. "We can't be Power Rangers. We're just high school students"
"There is no denying it," said Dionysus. "Each of you brings a skill that is necessary to form a successful team."
Tiffany, stepping forward, away from the others. "I'm in. I can't let evil to attack the innocent, not after what has happened today."
"She's right," Alice said, stepping up next to Tiffany. "I'm up too."
"Count me in too," Edison said, with a grin across his face. "I'm ready."
"I'll help too," said Brock.
They all looked at Fred, with a worried look on his face. "You do know what this means right? Sacrificing our life and all?"
After receiving nods of acknowledgment and agreements from the others, Fred, with a big sigh, said "Well, I'm in too." with a grin on his face.
As the new rangers gathered around Demeter, she pushed a key on the computer. A single podium rose up from across them, which she told the rangers to go. Dionysus took the case from the top of the podium. He opened the case, to reveal five gems that were laid inside a velvet cushion. Each had a different colour to it: Red, Blue, Black, Yellow and Pink. "These are your power gems," said Dionysus" With these, you'll transform into Power Rangers by calling out 'Spirit Force, Unleash'."
Demeter took the pink power gem and gave it to Tiffany. "Tiffany, kind-hearted and strong, you will host the spirit of Aphrodite, Goddess of love as the Pink Spirit Force Ranger." She said. She turned over to Alice and gave her the yellow power gem. "Alice, wise and tough, you will host the spirit of Athena, Goddess of wisdom as the Yellow Spirit Force Ranger." Next, she went up to Edison and gave him the blue power gem. "Edison, out-spoken and good natured, you will host the spirit of Hermes, Messenger of the gods as the Blue Spirit Force Ranger." Then she went towards Brock and gave him the black power gem." Brock, Strong and fearless, you will host the spirit of Ares, God of war as the Black Spirit Force Ranger." Lastly, she went to Fred and gave him the red power gem. "Fred, sporty and clever, you will host the spirit of Hephaestus, God of fire as the Red Spirit Force Ranger."
Each one held onto their power gems, looking at the gems with great care. They felt an immense source of pride for what had just happened. They had been selected to be Power Rangers; they were the champions of good. Their power gems then turned into power bracelets, equipping itself on their left wrists.
The moment was cut short though as the siren begins to ring around the Command Centre.
Demeter quickly approached the control panels with Dionysus. "Empusa has appeared again, this time with back up. We will teleport you there at once."
Every one stood in the centre of the command centre and soon, the rangers are teleported towards the park with beams of light that matched their ranger colour.
The park was under attacked by Empusa, this time, with telkhine warriors, with faces of dogs, bodies sleek and black like sea animals, with stubby legs that were half flipper, half foot and humanlike hands with sharp claws. "Take this you mortals! And give up your life force to Iapetus!" the Empusa laughed. She begins to slash the trees of the park with her fiery claws as the telkhine burns the park by throwing fireballs around the park. The Empusa laughed as it created havoc for the fleeing citizens. All the people who hadn't already ran away were leaving as quickly as they could.
But before the Empusa could enjoy more, it saw five flashes of light appear in front of it. The Empusa and the telkhine stopped for a moment to see what was about to happen. Five humans appeared from the lights, each on staring daggers at Empusa.
"I see you are back" said the Empusa, before throwing a grin.
"You won't be terrorizing anyone else after today" said Tiffany.
"You're going to regret this" said Edison
"This ain't gonna end pretty" said Alice
"And now you're going to know why!" said Brock
"Ready guys?" exclaimed Fred. "READY!" replied his team.
With their power bracelets turning into Spirit morphers, the rangers exclaimed "Spirit Force, Unleash!", activating their morphers by pressing the power button and morphing sequence, with lights covering them with their individual colours.
As the light surrounds them, each spirit of the Olympians they're hosting appear behind them, and wrapping their bodies and giving life to their uniforms. Once, in their uniform, their helmets appear to mask their identities.
With the transformation completed, the Spirit Force Rangers stood together and ready for battle. Their uniforms similar with each other's. Each symbol of the Olympian appeared in front of their chest, , with a golden belt around their waist. White lines appeared around their hands and foot, separating their gloves and boots. A white collar wrapped around their necks and their helmet boring a fleur-de-lis with lines around it. Strapped on their waist were sliver blades with handles of their individual colours. The only difference between them was their colours, and the girls had skirts while the boys didn't
"Spirit of Hephaestus, god of fire. Red Spirit Force Ranger!" shouted the Red ranger, with a flames as its symbol of Hephaestus.
"Spirit of Ares, god of war. Black Spirit Force Ranger!" shouted the Black ranger, with a sword and a shield as its symbol of Ares.
"Spirit of Hermes, messenger of the gods. Blue Spirit Force Ranger!" shouted the Blue Ranger, with a shoe with wings as its symbol of Hermes.
"Spirit of Athena, goddess of wisdom. Yellow Spirit Force Ranger!" shouted the Yellow Ranger, with a balancing beam as its symbol of Athena.
"Spirit of Aphrodite, goddess of love. Pink Spirit Force Ranger!" shouted the Pink Ranger, with a heart as its symbol of Aphrodite.
"Power Rangers Spirit Force!" exclaimed the rangers together, with a blast of flames behind them.
Each of the rangers pulled out their swords made from celestial bronze from the holder and charged after the telkhine warriors.
Black ranger swung his sword and attacks a bunch of telkhine warriors. As he slashed them, the telkhines vaporized into dusts. "Cool!" exclaimed the Black ranger.
Yellow and Pink ranger went after a larger number of telkhines, slashing their ways through the crowd, vaporizing any telkhines in sight.
The Blue Ranger went after the last group of telkhines, doing a tuck and roll before slashing his way through the crowd and vaporizing every telkhines within his radius.
Red ranger went after the Empusa, who have excellent speed, dodging the red ranger's attack. "Goddamit ugh!" cursed the red ranger as he attempt to cut the Empusa.
The rest of the rangers headed over to help the red ranger, not before receiving a call from Demeter.
"Rangers, call upon your spirit weapons!" commanded Demeter.
As the rangers gathered together, they call upon the spirit weapons. "Spirit weapons arise!"
Five balls of light appeared in front of the rangers, with their respective colours, before forming into the shape of their respective weapons
"Power Hammer!" shouted the red ranger, holding up a short hammer with a red handle and the symbol of Hephaestus.
"Power Caduceus!" shouted the blue ranger, holding up a staff with 2 snakes entwined, with a blue handle and the symbol of Hermes.
"Power Spear!" shouted the black ranger, holding up a spear with a black rod and a sliver blade, with the symbol of Ares carved on it.
"Power Daggers!" shouted the yellow ranger, holding up two daggers with yellow handles and the symbol of Athena on the two daggers.
"Power Disk!" shouted the pink ranger, holding up a small round shield covered with pink outline and the symbol of Aphrodite on it.
Armed for combat, the rangers went after Empusa.
The blue and black ranger went after Empusa with their long weapons, attempting to slash and attack the Empusa, but to no avail, as their combine efforts had no effect on her.
The red ranger came flying in next, striking Empusa with his power hammer, managing to overpower the creature and attacking her,
The two female rangers circled around the Empusa as she fell to her knees. The yellow ranger, with her new powered up speed, raced towards the Empusa and attacking the Empusa down. Finally, the pink ranger flew in and threw her disk like a boomerang, which slash the Empusa as she finally got beaten by the rangers.
With the ranger overpowering her, she had no other choice but to retreat with a hiss, leaving the rangers jumping with glee at their first victory.
As the Empusa headed back to the cave, she fell to her knees and apologizes to Iapetus "I've failed, master. I'm sorry" as she apologize.
"We've underestimated the gods. We must recruit more to our army. Rest well, we've more seals to break" Said the titan of mortality, walking off to rest and recover his energy.
Cheers filled the command centre as the rangers celebrated their first battle, locking arms around one another. Even Demeter and Dionysus were cheering and having wide smiles on their faces.
"Well done on your first battle rangers," said Demeter. "But this is only the beginning, for many more victories' ahead."
"Can't believe we managed to pull off our first battle" said Alice, wide grins on her face.
With her hand stretch out, Tiffany said "Victory call?"
With all their hands stretch out and wide smiles on their faces, they cried together "POWER RANGERS!"
