[IC] Mighty Morphing Power Rangers - A New Day

[vancexentan]

It was a bright shining day yet again at Angel Grover and years have passed since the signals blared danger. But it has been a while since anyone had roamed the halls of the fortress Zordon had once inhabited. The Rangers for all intents and purposes were gone as the world had no need for them. The first generation, who were known as the Aquitian Rangers, came from space and were using a different set of powers and but they're original job was to catch the criminal Kar The Crusher. They, however, were forced to leave before catching him and recruited the aid of six humans. Using an ancient power now forgotten the rangers gained their powers and kept their fight going against the Monster King Kar. That was twenty years ago during the year 1993...the rangers have since long departed from their duties for one reason or another. Alpha 5 remembered the days of Zordon before he was....banished by The Monster General Hark as he managed to find an artifact that allowed him to breach the defenses of the command center though that artifact is gone with the first king. The first human power rangers sought revenge but they no longer needed Zordon themselves having completed their training went onto defeat Kar and seal away Kar, Hark, and the other generals. However those were long gone and twenty years had past. Alpha was busy, as usual, keeping the place maintained in hopes of the Rangers returning one day. However he doubted it would ever happen again. After all they had lost many of the rangers not to time but to the war.

There were only one generation of rangers and when they no longer were needed they vanished. The sacrifice of the past rangers were something of note. What exactly happened to the power rangers is a mystery and where they are now is unknown. However The Red Ranger was crippled in the final fight leaving him feeling powerless and guilty about the problems he caused the rangers in the final fight. The dinozords were all repaired and sent back to their hiding places for later use. The friend of the rangers who acted as a replacement mentor, The Phantom Ranger. The Phantom Ranger had afterward decided that he would go away with the Green Ranger after depositing the green morpher and those of the other Rangers into a small capsule. The Red Ranger lost his spirit but refused to give up his morpher seeing that he may end up using it again one day and went away to other parts seeking to find out if he still had the strength to be a ranger. In truth Alpha did not know where they were now nor did he know how to find them. However he did miss the Red and the Green Ranger, who were missing in action and left his morpher behind. But it was all for nothing as the General before the final battle had indeed stopped and perhaps even killed Zordon in this very place they stood using some sort of black magic. The true end to Zordon however was something that was likely to change the universe and in the end that wasn't what happened so there was hope. Thankfully he was stopped from destroying the rest of the things thanks to the Phantom Ranger.

Zordon's last action before he vanished was that he transferred what he could to the powerful Phantom Ranger, who was defending Zordon but failed to stop the general, and he became protector and head of the rangers in his stead. Oh how Alpha missed those days so much if only he could have them back! Suddenly footsteps sounded from the entrance to the Rangers HQ. Alpha started to panic and rushed to the security consoles, what was going on!? He did not know because there had been no message from the Alien Rangers returning to help them or the returning of the others so it had to be an evil person! Alpha looked down the hall as the footsteps got closer and the panic really set in! "Who's there! Ay yi yi please don't com-" but before he could finish the familar sight appeared to Alpha. "You're...you're back!? Where's-" The black armored ranger raised his hand and shook his head. "Patience Alpha we must work quickly, I will explain everything later I promise. If we don’t work quickly bad things will happen. Now come with me or else the Rangers be destroyed forever. It will be just like old times." The Phantom Ranger said and then walked over to Alpha to explain what was to come...

The Setting for the story: 1 Week after the college opened (note what happened above is happening now and not one week earlier.)

It was another boring day in the required class of biology for Joey Hawk. The bell rang in the halls of Angel Grove Community College as Professor Dom explained that they were to study the final final chapter on how tectonic plates worked for homework. The class couldn't get out soon enough as many of the students got up to leave. Joey himself was tired and had scribbled down two pages worth of notes. Of course Joe pulled out his cellphone and text messaged all the guys and girls of his little circle to meet him outside near the football field. It'd be nice to see if he could get a group together to see if he could get done a small essay in English 102 class with the help of his mates. "Hey professor I'm going to come by tomorrow for a bit of help if you don't mind." Joe called down to the professor who was getting his stuff all together but was having a hard time due to the fact he had a hard time walking due to a birth problem that left him with a stiff left leg and he nodded and told him to come by at two o'clock. The rest of the class was already trying to get out of the class as quick as possible and in fact were almost all gone minus a few adults who had questions. He couldn't wait to get outside, it was so cold in the school thanks to all the air conditioners! He straightened up his dark green jacket and golden watch, a gift from his father for passing high school, and got his stuff together. School it had always been a bother for the young Joey Hawke but he learned to deal with it after all that was what life was about right?

Growing up and being a man was something he always looked forward too. Nothing he ever did in his childhood days could compare to what he wanted to do in his adult future. To be an something big like a manager or something along those lines was something he was planning on taking pride in. He headed to the door and wondered what the day was going to be like. He liked Professor Dom a lot the guy was a cool guy in his opinion. He was fair, he helped you out, and he was one hell of a straight and honest guy. He was the sort of teacher you sat down and laughed with but he was still very mature in his own way. Joe wondered how everyone was doing and hoped they were doing alright. Joe sighed when he managed to get outside the class rom and see that he would be a bit late maybe since there were a ton of things in the hall way and the classroom itself was far away from the bio room. "God damn it..." Joe said as he shouldered his backpack and walked out into the hall way.

Gale just sat there in her chemistry class, her hand holding up her head as her very dark brown hair swept passed to one side. This was just one of those days where Gale didn’t care for Chemistry, she just wanted to get out. Soon enough, the bell rang and she swiftly packed her things away, and left. What was the cold air from the classroom turned into warm air in the halls of Angel Grove Community college, and it hit Gale quickly. ‘Oh god that’s so much better…’ She muttered to herself, quickly swerving a right down the hall full of students. Suddenly, Gale felt a buzz within her bag, and quickly pulled out her phone two answer a text from Joey.

‘Football Field?’

Gale smiled a little bit and began to type away for a response

‘Yeah Sure! Just let me stick my chem book away and I’ll be there. Ttyl! <3

Gale quickly pressed send and continued to walk along to her locker, stopping and opening it. Inside her locker were mostly books and her school equipment. Gale didn’t really have anything interesting in her locker. No diaries, no photos of those she has a crush on, nothing that fits the intriguing category. Just as Gale was about to close her locker, she noticed a small brown envelope sticking out between her Chem and English textbooks. Gale smiled and let out an ‘ahehe…’ as she pulled out the envelope and opened it. Love letter, of course. Gale would get one at least twice a week. This amused Gale. She was never interested in anyone, she never had a crush and never had a boyfriend, and she preferred it. ‘Mom would be proud…’ Gale said quietly as she looked at the contents of the letter.


‘Roses are red

Violets are Blue

I’ve always had a crush on you.

Do you like me too?’

~Your secret admirer

Gale smiled as she gently closed the letter and placed it back into her locker. 'Cute...' She said, closing and locking her locker. Gale had gotten used to the whole love letters only 9 weeks into middle school. Gale began to walk down the halls of Angel Grove Community College and began to make her way to the football field.

So many students staring at her, was it because of her hair? Or because she was korean? Maybe because she was an almost rookie famous person in Korea. And there sat, Alyssa in her trigonometry class. It was so boring and she didn't listen to nothing that the professor was saying. All she was doing was making drawings in her notebook, it was a beautiful purple tree with herself and the sky perfectly shinning. But this was all in her little imagination, not real life. She wished she could had something like this, but instead she chose to live normal like any young adult in the United States. It felt so warm in her classroom, she was wearing black high waist pants, a white tank top and black heels. It was warm outside, but she brought a black jacket just incase.

And then the bell rang. Class was finally done!

Alyssa gathered her books, shoving them on her purse as she stood up and walked out of her classroom. She ran a hand through her red hair ruffling a little bit as she was now walking outside of the Angel Grove Community College hallway. Suddenly her phone was beeping, she had an iphone 5, she took it out and read the text message it was from Joey. It said that he wanted to meet in the Football field.

"Alright! I will be there in a second, JJ."

She sent the text message to Joey. It was a nickname that she had for him. Alyssa then made her way to the football field, and there she could noticed Gale. "Gale!" she smiled at her and waved, now walking towards her, her heels click and clacking as she walked.

As per the usual for him, Rhett scribbled furiously on his note book, jotting down any and all thoughts that passed through his mind as he sat in his seat. Although he did feel weird being younger than most of the students at the community college, he kept to himself and made his work his number one priority. He had taken Analytic Geometry because it was one of his required classes, and it was hard for him to say that he didn't enjoy it. He enjoyed several aspects of math, and geometry had happened to be one of them. The teacher for the class could have been a bit more easy going, but he didn't really mind since he put all of his time into his work anyways, so her strict attitude didn't affect him as much as it did the other students.

By the time the bell rang, the page he was writing on was filled with equations and small little geometry drawings that would belong to some of the equations. The ringing of the bell snapped him out of his trance and forced him to look at his work. He only glanced at it for a small period of time before closing the notebook and gathering his things. While he took his time, he observed some of the others students as they all left, and briefly thought about how much time his work had taken up from his life. He quickly pushed those thoughts aside, however, and finished putting all of his things away in a pale blue backpack. He didn't enjoy having to balance everything in his arms while walking from one class to the next, so he had decided early on that he would just put things in the backpack.

Leaving the class room, Rhett knew that he had some time before his next class began, and decided to do something that he hardly ever did; Wander aimlessly. He always had a reason or a purpose for goings places or doing something, but there was just a feeling that he had that was telling him to simply wander, and despite his previous thoughts, he gave in to the feeling and allowed his legs to take him where they pleased.

Sitting in a cafe near the college, Melanie took a sip of her coffee and reclined in her seat. Her classes for today were night classes, giving her time to work on studying for a Business History test in a couple of days and time to relax. After all, a business degree wouldn't come without work, of course, but when you had that and cheerleading to take care of, it was nice to get some rest now and again.

"Want a second cup?" She heard the barista ask.

Melanie opened her mouth to reply when she felt her phone buzz in her pocket. She held up one slender finger to the barista as she pulled out the phone. She gave a low hum before typing back an answer.

'B there in 5'

She pocketed her phone and turned back to the barista, "Give me a second cup to go, won't you? Latte, extra cream."

The barista nodded, turning to prepare the coffee. Melanie tapped her bright red painted lips with her index finger as she waited. She hadn't heard from Alice that morning, as her twin sister had mostly day classes. She exhaled a puff of annoyed air from her nose. This had been three years ago. Why was she still feeling so guilty?

"Here you go," the barista called, setting the cup on the table.

"Thank you," she replied, picking up the cup and leaving a five on the table, "Keep the change."

She made her way out of the cafe and began her walk to the college. She had always enjoyed stopping at the cafe because it was so close to the college in the first place. Besides, walking was better for her. As she entered the gates, she made her way right outside the football field, a place she knew very well as she was a cheerleader.

After pushing through the mass of people walking through the hallway after class Joey finally managed to get some stretching room and he took full advantage of it as he stretched high and low as he walked towards the field from the opposite side of the campus. Joey stopped on the way there to some Pepsi and a candy bar from the vending machine as well. "Well if they got there so early then that's all their fault for expecting a college student to arrive on precise time to everything they plan. It's always nice to be fashionably late to some things. But then again HE did plan this so he may as well get there as fast as he could. "Man growing up sucks." Joey laughed to himself as he remembered exactly how many people in high school would scold him for being late to one class. Whatever man things change and hopefully his pals knew that. The campus was well lit due to the sun being high in the sky being early noon and all as well as it being the start of August. It would start getting cold soon but he guessed it would be best to enjoy summer's heat more than anything. Joey took a bite of his candy bar as he straightened out his green jacket and made sure he looked nice.

After taking a brief moment to do so Joey finally arrived at the field and took a seat on the bleachers at the end of the field and watched the track kids jog and the football jocks throwing ball back and forth while other kids did their own things. It wasn't normally too noisy just a bunch of stomping and it had a nice amount of shade so you could enjoy the natural outdoors that was awesome about AGCC. "Man some people just don't enjoy the outdoors like I do man. A real shame really it's always nice to just sit down and enjoy what Earth naturally produces." Joey commented to himself as he leaned backward onto the seat behind him and put up a text book and proceeded to start studying intently. No use just sittin' there he's got to study if he wants to prepared for life.

[ArcanicNeon]

Gale swiftly turned around to see Alyssa, click-clacking her way towards her in her heels. 'Looking as great as ever I see.' Gale said, smiling as she waited for Alyssa to catch up to her. 'I still don't understand how you can walk so well in those.' She said, looking down at Alyssa's heels. It was true, Gale had a very bad time wearing heels. She preferred to wear something like flats, or even sneakers if she wanted two. Gale also never understood high fashion clothings. Gale wore a black shirt, a yellow flowing blouse and a pair of black hard flats, and that was Gale would describe as her fashion, that was her Uniform.

'Alright, let's go to the football field.' Gale said walking along with Alyssa. 'Also, another one! Another love letter...' Gale said rather happily. 'I don't know who from, but i'm starting to recognise the handwriting.' Gale opened her bag too pull out two more letters. 'These two were from two days ago.' She said, stuffing back into her bag.

[paigesweetheart]

Alyssa smiled at Gale as they walked together to the football field. She noticed that Gale was so happy because she, yet again got another love letter! It was so sweet and Alyssa was jealous because there were so many people that liked Gale and they even sent her anonymous letters. It was nice for her to do that. "Hah.. I have been on heels forever. I even dance on heels. I kinda miss performing in-front of people, it makes me happy and stuff. But I am also glad that I decided to take a break. I never thought, I would have good friends like you guys. Atleast you don't make fun of me or something." she laughed softly now looking up ahead, seeing Joye on the bleachers sitting down.

Alyssa looked at the letters that Gale pulled up. "Woah, girl. You are so lucky!" she giggled walking towards the bleachers and seeing Joey. "Hey JJ!~" she waved at him and sat down next to Joey. As Alyssa placed her bag next to her. She ran a hand through her red hair, seeing the book that he was studying. "What's up?"

[vancexentan]

"Oh there's my ladies how's it hanging?" Joe said as he smiled at them and waved back kindly. "You know same old shit doing stuff for teachers studying and what not, nothing special ever happens in this town." Joe continued as he flipped some pages in his book. "So what about you did you two have a nice day at school? Meet any cute boys that aren't the jerk off twins?" Joe said sarcastically as he made some small hand notes about a specific type of plant species from his last class of the day before shutting his book. "God knows you two are the main attraction for chicks at this school." Joe teased as he popped some chewing gum into his mouth and chew on it with his mouth closed while they spoke.

[ArcanicNeon]

'Pretty swell.' Gale said, dropping her bag and sitting down next to JJ. She opened up her bag, pulling out the two letters and showing JJ. 'Got these two days ago. Trust me there's more where it came from.' Gale said jokingly. She heard what JJ had to say about nothing ever happening in this stupid town. 'Nothing ever happens because... Maybe destiny has something planned for this little shit-hole of a town.' She said 'Let's make a deal, if anything amazing ever happens to this town, then I get 20 bucks. And if it doesn't...' Gale hesitated for a second. 'I'll let you drive my dad's cop car and 20 bucks...' She finished, pushing the letters back into her bag and pulling out her Physics books and notes. 'You know how to drive, right?' She asked JJ.

[paigesweetheart]

"Ummmm..." Alyssa blushed by when Joe said that herself and Gale were the two main attractions of the school, girl wise. "I don't know about that..." she said cuffing a hair of string behind her ear. "But yeah... this town is a little boring, like a ghost town. Hahaha." she laughed softly sighing. It was a pretty boring town, especially with not so many people around, nothing excited happened. Alyssa noticed Gale showing JJ the letters that she got from some secret guys. It was so cute, and yes she was still jealous. "I never had a guy having a crush on me, or send me letters like Gale. Sooo, I don't think, I am the most attracted girl in the school. I'll give that tittle to Gale. Since she is the one who gets all of these letters and all." she smiled, listening to Gale's deal.. "Hahaha. I would like to see who wins the deal. Where are the others?" she asked looking around and pulled her reading book from her bag, opening it and beginning to read. Alyssa raised her left leg on top of the other, being all lady like as she began to read around the book.

[pyroman]

It was an odd Feeling for Rhett, as he had always filled his schedule to the brim, and didn't really have time to just wander around. Now that he had it, he didn't know what to do with it. He allowed his feet to take him wherever, and in little time, he had arrived at the football field. people were doing the own things, probably enjoying the free time in between classes as well. He didn't know why he was there, but he didn't really care. He needed to find some way to kill the time that he had just gotten. He decided to just wander around the football field this time, instead of going back into the halls of the school.

The football field had a different atmosphere than the one at the high school. He didn't know why it was so different, but he could just feel it in the air. In his head, he began to go through ideas and hobbies that would fill up his new free time, but none of them seemed interesting enough for him to pursue. While lost in thought, he continued to wander around the football field.

[vancexentan]

"You two take stuff WAY to seriously I was just messing with you." Joey said with a cocky smile as he looked around the general area, "Looks like no one else is coming soon so we may as well get started on why I asked ya both to come here, don't worry I'll explain it again to anyone who comes I got time, I got an offer for both of you-" Joey started to say patiently before he sighed deeply and waited as a group of guys he knew all so well came walking over. The first was a brown haired guy with a grey shirt slung over his shoulder with a school jersey slung over the other. His name was Jace Brandson and he was one of the premiere members of the school's football team and he played rugby on the side from what he heard. Regardless even Joey had to admit the guy was freaking BUILT like a tank. And the stooge next to him was his wing man whom couldn't do anything without him, Samson Carnegie. The two of them wandered up to Joey and Jace shook his head at Joey and the girls. "So you two ladies still hanging out with the loser like Joey?" asked Jace sarcastically as Joey stared down at him with a raised eye brow, "So you need to fulfill your daily need to be an ass Jace? Because you're fulfilling that quite nicely so far." Joey said to Jace who shook his head, "Spoken like a true loser Joe." Jace said as he held a hand on Samson's chest. "You know we could easily beat your ass Joey you should watch your mouth." Samson said with annoyance clear in his voice as Joey whistled, "And get in trouble with the dean? All because you're a star on the team doesn't save you from being in trouble with the law. Not that I need it I can still take you if I had to." Joey smart mouthed Samson back.

[ArcanicNeon]

'Hey.' Gale said 'Could you two just piss off?' She stood up, in between Joey and Jace. She turned her head towards Joey 'Hold on, I got this.' She said, turning her head towards Jace.

Gale and Jace had an... interesting relationship in the past. Gale always remembered Jace as the desperate type. He always just wanted to get to her, but always failed. Samson on the other hand. She didn't hate Samson has much as Jace, but still took a strong disliking to him. 'Come on you guys just leave us alone...' Gale asked, looking up at Jace. Gale wasn't the type for conflict that didn't come from herself. She didn't mind if she had to inflict some pain on others, but didn't really have the chance too. 'And if you don't, i'll make sure i'll leave a tan on that big-ass head of yours again.' She said calmly, her hands crossed. Gale was willing, She hit Jace before and DID leave a hand mark. She was an excellent slapper. Gale stood there, looking up at Jace. Awaiting his response. 'So, what's gonna be? Pissing off or getting a hand on your big head.' She asked.

[paigesweetheart]

Alyssa looked up at some boys walking towards them. And now she was going to be nervous but then again, they were so immature. "We like to hang out with Joey." she smiled at them as she would lock her left arm with Joey's arm, just so they could be jealous or something. Yes, Alyssa was actually not being shy around the boys. "I mean, why are you worried about us hanging with Joey? You can just do you, and we do we. But thanks for concerning about us. We will be fine, Joey takes care of us. Good care of us, better then you." she smiled. "I think.." she thought to herself but she preferred to be with Joey anyways. Plus, she did have a huge crush on Joey, ever since they first met but he never saw Alyssa that way. He probably liked Gale, she was prettier and sooo popular.

Jace looked at Alyssa smirking and she raised an eyebrow. He said. "Alrighty then, Korean girl." But Alyssa ignored him looking away and giggling to what Gale said, hopefully they can leave already! All she wanted was to be with her friends.

[pyroman]

While he had been wandering he came across a group of three, and two more joined the group soon afterwards. He wasn't close enough to hear them, but he was still able to see what they were wearing. He easily recognized the two new members of the group, and immediately sighed. If there weren't problems already going on for them to make things worse, Jace and Samson would make trouble just to keep themselves from getting bored.

He hovered closer over to the group, but still kept away at a safe distance. Hopefully he would be able to hear them from where he was at the current moment, but he would get closer if he needed to. He didn't like Jace or Samson, and while he had been bullied by them before, he wasn't going to let it happen again.

[sarcasticdevotee]

Melanie entered the football field, cup of coffee in hand. She noticed Joey's group and what seemed to be Samson and Jace harassing them. A little further away from the trio and duo seemed to sit another student. She was never a big fan of Samson or Jace, but then again, there were very few people that Melanie was a big fan of. She walked towards Joey, Gale, and Alyssa, turning to the side to slip between Jace and Samson. She vaguely heard what seemed to be a threat from Gale towards the two annoying boys and suppressed a laugh.

"Excuse me," she sarcastically drawled as she sat down on the bleachers, a couple of feet away from the trio, but close enough to show she had made her presence known, "Will you two stop being wastes of spaces?"

Melanie then turned and gave a nod of greeting to Joey, Gale, and Alyssa. She found them more as acquaintances than actual friends, due to her being more into hanging with the cheerleaders and football team. But that was fine. Friends wasn't something she was aiming to have.

She took a sip of her coffee and folded her legs under her, giving a blank stare at Jace and Samson. Every once in a while she'd look over her shoulder towards the guy who was alone, who seemed to be trying to listen to the conversation.

[vancexentan]

"And what miss out on my daily chance to make fun of you?" Jace said with a crooked smile as he looked back at Joey whom got up and sat up straight as he looked down at Jace. "Oh and you're the very image of a nice person. You know the stereotypical jock build and brains really make you look like a joke Jace. In fact I'm sure the most annoying alien in movie history, pick one there's about fifty billion of them, would find you annoying. And better yet for me I'm sure ALL of them would find you annoying or stupid because you're brain is just the size of a tiny pea." Joey said as he pinched his fingers together for emphasis. Jace looked like he was fighting every inch of his body's urge to march up there and strangle him but Samson was the one who was holding his friend back from doing so. "You know what Joey? I've seen episodes of Twilight that had more personality than you. After all you got these two with you I'm sure that means you can't find a guy who is interested in hanging out with a group of losers like you." Samson replied smugly as he turned around to see Melanie walking towards them and moved out of her way showing his hands up with exaggerated fear, "Oh I'm sorry missy I thought this was a public area. I didn't mean to get in the way of the queen of the bleachers. God knows that's the ONLY thing you could become queen of." said Jace with satisfied smugness as he watched her move next to her friends.

[ArcanicNeon]

'JACE!' Gale said loudly. 'For gods sake. Piss. Off...' Gale ordered. 'You can just stop insulting people.'

She was ready to throw a punch at Jace if needed. She wasn't afraid of hurting a guy if she wanted too, but she slightly knew that Jace could stomach it, and was prepared for anything. 'Why are you even here anyways?' Gale asked. She bet the answer was gonna be: 'We're bored, and you guys are the perfect targets.' She awaited the answer, and looked up at Jace. 'Also Samson, Twilight's a movie series not a tv show.' She corrected Samson. 'Oh god why do I know that?' She thought, slightly questioning herself. She shook the thought off and continued to Stare at Jace, awaiting his response.

[paigesweetheart]

Alyssa rolled her eyes at Jace and Samson as she noticed her other friend coming in, Melanie. She smiled at her and waved as she would remove her arm locked with Joey's and stand up from the bleachers. "Ima go get some water or something.." and with that Alyssa would walk away from the group, she felt awkward to be around people like Jace and Samson, besides, she also wondered how she got to be friends with very popular people. Alyssa didn't think herself would be hanging out with them. Plus, they are actually nice to her! Probably they feel bad for her because she doesn't have friends or anything.

And with that Alyssa went to a closeby water fountain which was inside of the school, in the hallways. As she began to take a sip of the water. It felt so good! And then she walked back towards the others, running a hand through her hair and looking up as she walked towards the bleachers once again but this time, she managed to stay a little far from the group. Alyssa would now grab a book from her bag and begin to read!
