Angel Grooves

Grid-Verse

"So, the five of you are Power Rangers."

Five particular teenagers with attitude stiffen as they look away, trying to avert their eyes off the green-haired teenager with glasses in front of them.

"W-what are you talking about, Isaac?" Jason asked nervously. In his mind, he is wondering how his new friend who comes to Angel Groove a few hours before they were chosen as Power Rangers figures out their identities in less than two weeks.

"...do you want me to give a long explanation or just the obvious ones?" The last words feel like a stab on the teenagers' egos. Is it really obvious that their identity as the Power Rangers that obvious? And to make it worse, it's plural!

"Umm...maybe a long explanation?" Billy asked meekly, cold sweats dropped from his head as he had just taken a shower.

"...where should I start?" Isaac sighs before pulling out a notebook. This made the teenager blink as he opened the notebook.

"Clue #1, during the first alien attack, the 5 of you disappear out of nowhere and reappear, each of you got new highly advanced technology on your wrist," Isaac said as the group's eyes comically shrunk, turning into a pair of black dots.

"Clue #2, every time an alien attacks, your watches beep a few minutes after the attack happens, and a few minutes before we all hear the news from the radio," Isaac said as they all looked like they wanted to facepalm.

"Clue #3, when the aliens' attack during class, five of you excuse to the bathroom, together," Isaac said with a raised eyebrow as they all blushed in embarrassment. "You all left and returned around...at least half an hour. Everyone will just dismiss you five, thinking you five skipping the class, but you bring Billy of all people with you."

"..." The teenagers lower their heads while groaning silently.

"Clue #5, Billy-san's so-called 'techno-babble'." This gets their attention. "People will simply dismiss it because they will think it's just 'nerd-talks'. But, no normal 'nerd-talks' consists...'weapons', 'Zords', and 'teleporters'." Billy pales before he covers his mouth in a horrified manner.

"Clue #6, Black Ranger's fighting style. It's Zack-san's Hip-Hop-Kido." Isaac deadpans as Zack groans and bangs his head.

"Okay...I think you made the point very clear..." Jason said shakily.

"Eh? B-but, I haven't reached half of the explanations," Isaac said innocently as they all comically collapsed. "Y-you guys okay?!"

"God...to think we're this bad..." Jason mutters while getting up as Isaac nervously chuckles.

"It's more like I pay too much attention to my surroundings," Isaac said while rubbing his chin. "But, I can't help but wonder why everyone didn't even notice?"

"I think we can agree that we're just lucky," Zack grumbles.

"Well, let's be honest, we're only start doing this for what? Two weeks?" Kimberly said.

"Yeah," Trini said. "So, what are you going to do with that information?"

"Umm, nothing?" Isaac said as they blinked.

"Wait really?" Jason asked in surprise.

"Well, yeah. I mean sure, we're just classmate..." Isaac rubs his cheeks nervously.

"Except for Trini who seems to love to hear you talk." Zack said as both teenagers blushes.

"Anyways! I'm not gonna tell anyone since it's your secret after all. Also, I respect the five of you to even do that. And...what kind of friend am I to Trini if I just exposes her secret? That's just too cruel." Isaac mutters.

"...huh, you're a good person, Isaac." Jason said.

"T-thanks..." Isaac said before he looks at them. "Also, can you guys try to take care of your Zords better by avoiding crashing them into buildings? I can't stop hearing them complaining during battle."

"...I'm sorry, what?" Jason asked in disbelief.

"Your Zords. They keep complaing-!" Isaac said but was cut off by Billy.

"No, no. W-what do you mean the Zords 'complaining'?" Billy asked.

"...you guys can't hear them?" Isaac asked while blinking owlishly as they shook their head. Suddenly, a pillar light appeared from the sky and they all teleported away.

Thankfully, no one was around to see that.

"Whoa!" Isaac almost falls, completely caught off guard by the sudden teleportation. It was thanks to Trini that he didn't fall. "Umm, thanks, Trini-san."

"No problem. And, I never got to ask, but what's with the '-san'?" Trini asks as Isaac stiffens. Before he could reply, he was cut off by a sudden sound.

"Ai-yi-yi-yi!! Is that another human!?" A robot walks towards them as Isaac stares at the robot blankly.

"...given what has happened in my life, I'm no longer surprised at the robot." Isaac deadpans as Trini giggles at his words.

"Ah, you are all here with our guest, rangers." A booming voice comes from Isaac's back as he turns around to see a floating blue head in a glass tube. "Greetings, my name is Zordon. Apologies for the sudden teleportation, but I must talk with you."

"Ah, umm, sure," Isaac said before gulping.

"He took it better than I expected," Jason said.

"Jason-san, we got attacked by aliens several times in just two weeks and you guys turned into spandex-wearing superheroes to fight them. A giant floating head is no longer surprising me. No offense, Zordon-san." Isaac replies. "Also, it's not the weirdest thing that happens in my life..." He mutters the last part.

"None taken, Isaac." Zordon chuckles. "But, I should ask, how were you able to hear the Zords?"

"Um...I'm not sure how to explain this..." Isaac said while rubbing his head. "But...do you guys know about Morphin' Master? He calls himself Master Silver."

The teenagers look confused at Isaac's words but Zordon seems surprised, his eyes widen when Isaac mentions that name.

"Young man, how...did you know about that?" Zordon asked.

"Well, he appears in my room out of nowhere and asks for my help to fight a future darkness coming to this world," Isaac admits. "I...may have been too eager to offer my help without asking more questions regarding everything. And it didn't help that I have limited resources to even help. All I can do is drop a few ideas for rangers to help."

"Wait, so few of those random notes I found falling into my table aren't random at all!?" Billy exclaims as Isaac sheepishly rubs his head and nodded

"I see..." Zordon mutters. "I would not expect the Morphin Master would be involved at all."

"Um...Zordon, who's Morphin Master?" Billy asked.

"Morphin Masters are ancient beings residing in the Morphin Grid, the multi-dimensional energy source that grants the power that allows to turn you into Power Ranger," Zordon said. "They usually observe the universe unless there's a great threat that requires their interference."

"Rita's attacks aren't a great enough threat?" Jason scowls.

"Sadly, no," Zordon said. "I believed the existence of Power Rangers is enough to reassure the Morphin Masters that the world is safe but to think they chose someone to give us assistance..."

"Umm, no offense, but what's so special about Isaac? I mean, he's like us, a normal teenager. Well, besides his ability to hear Zords." Zack points out.

"I...still asking myself that..." Isaac said while rubbing his head.

"...Alpha, activates the scanner." Alpha nods and grabs a device before he starts to scan Isaac's entire body.

"Wha-!? Hey!?" Isaac yelps as Alpha moves the device around Isaac's body before suddenly the device beeps loudly and displays the words [Error].

"H-huh!?" Isaac said in bafflement as Zordon also looked puzzled.

"This...never happened before..." Zordon mutters. Alpha looks at this and tries it on Jason, but it simply displays a normal level of Morphin Grid adjusting itself in his body. "How did a human like you able to withstand so much Morphin Grid in your body."

"I...am as confused as you, Zordon-san..." Isaac mutters.

"Does this mean...Alpha, the power coin!" Alpha nodded and walked away.

"Power coin? Another one?" Jason asked in disbelief.

"Indeed, Jason." Zordon nods.

"Wait, if there's six, then why did you only pick 5 of us?" Kimberly asked.

"Because none of you could handle its powers," Zordon stated, surprising them. "Some powers were too much to handle even for humans and this particular power coin is no exception. But, I believe this can be used by our new guest here."

"Eh? Why me?" Isaac said in disbelief.

"You manage to gain the Morphin Master's attention and ask you to help them. With all the help you provide for Billy and your kind-hearted nature, it's obvious." Zordon said.

"That's the thing I don't get...why me? I'm a nobody." Isaac said.

"Perhaps he saw something in you that none of us, even you saw yet," Zordon said as Alpha arrived, carrying a box before he opened it, revealing a Power Coin with an image of brachiosaurus on it. "I would like to ask, Isaac...would you lend us a hand to fight Rita?"

"Of course," Isaac said with zero hesitation before he looked at the power coin and grabbed it. Suddenly, a silver energy surrounds Isaac and the coin before it disappears. Isaac notices he now possesses a Morpher similar to the other rangers in his hand. "Whoa..."

"Well, it seems the coin has chosen you. Welcome to the team, Isaac," Jason said with a grin as Isaac smiled in return and nodded. He pauses before he looks at the others.

"I...have another secret I have to tell," Isaac said, getting their attention. "It's involved where I come from..."

"You're not from here, right? You immigrate from another country?" Billy guessed.

"It's more complicated than that..." Isaac said while rubbing his cheeks. "But, first thing first, Isaac isn't my name?"

"It isn't?" Trini asked in surprise as Izuku shakes his head.

"Isaac was just a name I came up in a spot to hide myself. My real name is Izuku Midoriya, and I come from another world's future."
