AUTHOR’S NOTE: I had been
having writer’s Block for a While so I decided to go back to the Basics, Pure
Power Rangers, kind of. But for my fans don’t worry, I’m not going far off of my
Original Story Line. You will just have to see where it all ties together. Keep
an eye out. When I mention Characters from Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball I used the
Original Japanese name.
In case you haven’t noticed. The Soldiers of this Lieutenant are Fruits.
This Story tells the Problem Rangers have in balancing their life and duties.
A True Hero is
not only a Hero on the Outside, but on the Inside as well.
This is a
Story of One.
Every Generation has a Legend. Every
Journey has a First Step. Every Saga has a Beginning.
This is this One.

The Court
of Count Roger Funela II, Somewhere in
A cold wind
blew across the Valley as eight year old; Thomas Nako lay down on his back
looking at the clouds with his promised girlfriend eight year old, Sarah
Branch.
“It’s getting
cold, isn’t it Tommy?†Sarah asked.
“It sure is,
Sarah.†Tommy replied. “Do you want to go back inside?â€
Sarah said,
“No, let’s see how many clouds we can watch until it gets dark.â€
Tommy said,
“Look there, it looks like a duck.â€
Sarah said,
“Where?â€
Tommy pointed
to his right and said, “Over there.â€
Sarah looked
and said, “Oh, ya it does.†Then she tilted her head and said, “Or a fat
person.â€
The two just
lay there laughing for quite a while, looking up at the clouds and seeing what
they could see. After a while, the Stars came out.
Sarah said,
“I’d better be getting back home. My parents are probably getting
worried.â€
Tommy then
stood up like he was mesmerized by the night sky. “Look,†he said.
Sarah glanced
up at the Stars and saw what he saw. Two streaks of light, one looked like it
was following the other and both were heading for Earth.
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Meanwhile
Deep in Space, well not that deep just at the Edge of our Solar System. A comet
headed for the Planet known as Earth, and a Space Ship was following it.
“Captain
Vicious,†Lieutenant Marker said. “The Comet is heading for the third planet
from the Sun in this System.â€
Captain
Vicious, in his Captain’s chair, asked, “Who controls this System?â€
A reply came
from, Lieutenant Crayon, who said; “This system is under the protection of Queen
Serenity.â€
“Who watches
over this area of the Universe?†Captain Vicious asked.
Lieutenant
Colored Pencil said, “This is the North Quadrant so it is under the eye of
Kaio-sama.â€
Captain
Vicious said, “Who is the protector of the little blue dust ball?â€
Lieutenant
Paint said, “Protector of the third planet is known as Prince Endymion.â€
Captain
Vicious said, “Then we probably shouldn’t have too much problem.†Just then he
felt a Presence on the Planet. Under is breath he clenches his teeth and said,
“Zordon.†He stood up and said, “Keep the Ship a Good Distance from Earth.
However, Track the progress of the Comet, and keep me informed about it. Our
first priority is to gather Energy for our Empress. Lieutenant Colored Pencil
you are up first.â€
Lieutenant
Colored Pencil said, “It shall be my honor.â€
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
Meanwhile on
the third planet in a small metallic like shack, a being known as Zordon, with
his robotic assistant Alpha One, were monitoring the balance of good and
evil.
Zordon said,
“I sense an evil nearing this planet.â€
Alpha One
said, “What shall we do?â€
Zordon said,
“I will locate five young warriors and give them the five Power Coins.â€
Alpha said,
“How will we know if they are worthy?â€
Zordon said,
“They must first locate the Morphing Devices.â€
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Tommy said,
“So did you see that light streaking across the sky last night?â€
Sarah’s and
Tommy’s best friend eleven year old, William Novel replied, “Man that was
something else. I was working in the lab of Doctor Tony Muncher when he spotted
it.â€
“Doctor
Muncher. Isn’t that the crazy guy who experiments with Merging?†Asked
Tommy.
William said,
“Ya, but I don’t think it’s that crazy. If we could focus that kind of Power in
a Stone, the ability would be unbelievable. That’s what Tony’s other assistant
Steven Manna tells me.â€
“Are you
taking about sweet old Mr. Muncher again,†a voice said.
“Hey
darling,†William said to his soon to be wife Lucile Jar.â€
Sarah ran up
to them and said, “What are we doing today?â€
William said,
“Well tonight I’m going to trace the progress that light has made this
morning.â€
Sarah said,
“I asked what we were doing today.â€
Just then the
four friends started to fell a little funny. They looked down to see that they
were fading.
“What’s
happening?†asked Thomas.
“I have no
idea,†William replied.
Lucile said,
“I think we are about to find out.â€
Then all four
of them vanished.

Meanwhile in
the
The Queen
said, “They need a guide to help them through what they are about to go
through.â€
The Queen’s
cat, Luna, walked up and said, “What are you talking about my Queen?â€
The Queen
replied, “This was foretold in the ancient texts of the Moon.â€
Luna said,
“Ancient Texts? Where are they?â€
Serenity
said, “They were found in the cavern below our Palace, next to the Zeo Crystal.â€
She turned to a mirror and said, “Princess Hotaru, of Saturn you are
needed.
Princess
Hotaru appeared and kneed before the Queen. “What is your wish Queen
Serenity?â€
Queen
Serenity said, “Go down to Earth, and guide the five Warriors that are about to
appear.â€
Hotaru said,
“At once my Queen.â€

Back on the
Space Ship, Captain Vicious turned on his View Screen and said, “Lieutenant
Colored Pencil, have you arrived on Earth?â€
Lieutenant
Colored Pencil said, “Yes I have, Captain Vicious. Not only that I have also
assembled an Army to gather Energy from huge crowds of people. We should have
the Energy to awaken our Empress sooner then we think. Meet my Soldiers, Apple,

The four
friends landed with a Thud in front of the
Thomas held
his head and said, “Where are we?â€
A Voice said,
“We are far from our homes young ones.â€
The group
turned to see what looked like a fifteen year old, young boy.
He said, “My
name is Kame-Sen’nin. I am from a far away land; my village is
Just then the
Massive Doors opened and an equally Massive Voice said, “Enter at Once!â€
The five just
did as they were told, and entered the
Alpha handed
a coin to each of the kids. Zordon said, “A great evil has landed on Earth. I
have chosen the five of you to stop it, because you are the only ones who can.
It is your destiny. The five of you shall be known as the Power Rangers. Sarah
Branch, you shall be known as the Pink Ranger. Your power comes from the Ancient
Bird known as the Pterodactyl. Your weapon is the Power Bow; it can shoot arrows
to piece the heart of your enemies. Lucile Jar, you shall be known as the Yellow
Ranger. Your power comes from the Ancient Beast known as the Saber Toothed Cat
or Smilodon. Your weapon shall be
two Power Daggers. William Novel, you shall be known as the Blue Ranger. Your
power comes from the Dinosaur known as the Triceratops. Your weapon shall be the
Staff known as the Power Lance. Kame-Sen’nin, you shall be known as the Black
Ranger. Your power comes from the beast known as the Mastodon. Your weapon shall
be the mighty Power Axe, able to gut through stone with the greatest of ease.
Finally Thomas Nako, you shall lead the group as the Red Ranger. Your Power
comes from the mighty creature known as the Tyrannosaurus. Your Weapon shall be
the Power Sword, a mighty Blade that can slice a Diamond clean in half.â€
Thomas said,
“I can’t be the leader. I’m the youngest of all of them.â€
Zordon said,
“True Power comes not from the outside, but within your heart. And you have the
biggest heart of all.â€
A metallic
Device appeared on the wrist of each of them. Alpha said, “These are your
Communicators. You can talk to each other with them.â€
Zordon said,
“To activate your powers you will need to find the Five Morphing Devices. They
are scattered about the Earth. The Red Device shall be found in
Alpha said,
“Good luck.†Then he pressed a button and the Rangers teleported to their
locations. William was teleported to the other end of the Continent. Lucile was
teleported to

Meanwhile,
back in the small
The fruit
vendor said, “What can I do for you?â€
The man
stepped out of the shadows to revealed him self to be Lieutenant Colored Pencil.
Who said, “You can die.†With a lighting jab, the Lieutenant pierced the man’s
chest with his nails, and ripped out his heart.
The fruit
vendor was still alive for a second as we watched his heart beat in the
Lieutenant’s hand. Then he fell over dead.
Apple
appeared and took the form of the Street Vendor putting a spell on his fruit,
then headed back into the crowd of people yelling, “Fresh Fruit get your Fresh
Fruit here.â€
Lieutenant
Colored Pencil just smiled an evil smile.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Lucile
shivered at the Cold of Antarctica, when she landed there.
Lucile said,
“I should have brought a coat, as she rubbed her hands together to get some
warmth.
Just then a
Polar Bear appeared, and chased her into a cave. Where she saw the Yellow
Morpher. She reached to take it but a voice stopped her.
It said, “To
get the Morpher you must answer this question about the future. Who will have
the Powers of the Medical Doctor? A.) Mandy Darnell, B.) Jamie Pounds, C.)
Ashley Hammond, D.) Jamie Moore.â€
She answered
the question correctly and was able to get the Morpher. As soon as she touched
it she was Teleported back to the Power Chamber.
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
William
landed in the Forest of North America. There in a tree was the Morpher. But a
voice said, “Answer the Question. What show was Lamont going to see before he
went to the Auction to get the coin of the Green Ranger? A.) Boy Meets Word, B.)
Full House, C.) 7th Heaven, D.)
William
answered and got the Morpher and was Teleported back to the Chamber.
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
Sarah walked
in the jungles of
A voice said,
“Answer and the Prize shall be yours. What was the name of Lamont’s secret
identity in sixth grade? A.) The Green Ranger, B.) The Gold Digital Ranger, C.)
The White Merger Ranger, D.) The Masked Kid.â€
Sarah
answered and was rewarded with a Morpher and a trip back to the Power
Chamber.
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
Kame-Sen’nin
was chased by a Dingo when he saw the Morpher.
The Voice
said, “What was the name of the group that defended Vandalia in 1993? A.) The
L-team, B.) The Railroaders, C.) Power Rangers Zeo, D.) A and B.â€
He got it
right and got the prize. Plus a trip back to the Power Chamber.
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
Thomas tried
to find shade in the heat of the Desert. Just when he thought he was going to
collapse a Voice said, “Just a bit farther.â€
Thomas said,
“I can’t go on.â€
The Voice
said, “Very well, we can play right here. What Graduating Class did Joseph
Smoeing pretend he killed? A.) 2000, B.) 1999, C.) 1998, D.) 1997.â€
Thomas made a
guess that was correct and found himself back at the Chamber with the Morpher in
his hand.
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
Meanwhile in
Vandalia people were eating the fruit left and right. Then the clock struck
If you looked
in the Vendor’s eyes they were a cold black.
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
Back at the
Power Chamber, Lucile, William, Kame-Sen’nin, Sarah and Thomas returned one by
one.
Thomas said,
“Now where is the enemy?â€
Zordon said,
“He is attacking some Village in
Four of them
said, “That’s my home!â€
Kame-Sen’nin
said, “I will help you defend it.â€
They
Teleported home and Zordon said, “May the Power Protect You.â€
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
The Rangers
returned home to see that the town folks were lying on the ground in pain.
“I wonder
what happened here?†asked Sarah.
They heard
the Fruit Vendor say, “Fresh Fruit!â€
Thomas said,
“I’m going to get some.â€
He ran to get
some fruit but someone got their first. But when he bit into the fruit he
collapsed as well.
The fruit
vendor looked at them and said, “Eat my Delicious Fruit!â€
The Rangers
ran away with the vendor chasing them. They managed to duck in an ally. Where
they saw the lifeless body of the same Fruit Vendor.
They looked
back to see the other fruit vendor, whose eyes were black as the night. He
started to glow, and when the light faded there stood a Monster with an Apple
for a head.
“I am Apple,â€
he said. “The last thing you fools will see.â€
He fired
apple seeds at them. They managed to dodge them, but a squirrel ate one of them,
and was killed as an Apple Tree grew from that seed inside the squirrel, and as
we all know a tree is bigger then a squirrel. So you can guess what
happened.
Apple stomped
his feet an army of Grape monsters appeared and attacked the Rangers. While
Apple made an escape.
The grapes
were hard to beat, but one by one, the Rangers managed to get the better of
them, and defeated them one by one. Then ran after Apple.
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
Apple tired
to escape inside a Cathedral, but the five Warriors followed him.
William said,
“You’ve killed innocent people, and token their energy. But now you have
desecrated the Church.â€
“Have you no
fear for God†asked Sarah.
Apple said,
“I’m not afraid of anything.â€
Thomas said,
“You soon will.â€
Just then the
Morphers started to glow. They heard Zordon’s voice who said, “Rangers, place
the coins inside the Morphers. Then hold them out and call the name of your
animal.â€
Kame-Sen’nin
said, “It’s Morphing Time!†He placed the Mastodon coin in the Black Morpher and
said, “Mastodon!†Black Light came out of the coin and engulfed him. When the
light faded he was wearing a Black Costume with some areas that were White. His
helmet looked like the head of a Mastodon, while on his Chest was a Gold
Cross.
Sarah Branch
said, “It’s Morphing Time!†She placed the Pterodactyl coin in the Pink Morpher
and said, “Pterodactyl!†Pink Light came out of the coin and engulfed her. When
the light faded she was wearing a Pink Costume with some areas that were White.
Her helmet looked like the head of a Pterodactyl, while on her Chest was a Gold
Cross.
William Novel
said, “It’s Morphing Time!†He placed the Triceratops coin in the Blue Morpher
and said, “Triceratops!†Blue Light came out of the coin and engulfed him. When
the light faded he was wearing a Blue Costume with some areas that were White.
His helmet looked like the head of a Triceratops, while on his Chest was a Gold
Cross.
Lucile Jar
said, “It’s Morphing Time!†She placed the Smilodon coin in the Yellow Morpher
and said, “Smilodon!†Yellow Light came out of the coin and engulfed her. When
the light faded she was wearing a Yellow Costume with some areas that were
White. Her helmet looked like the head of a Smilodon, while on her Chest was a
Gold Cross.
Thomas Nako
said, “It’s Morphing Time!†He placed the Tyrannosaurus coin in the Red Morpher
and said, “Tyrannosaurus!†Red Light came out of the coin and engulfed him. When
the light faded he was wearing a Red Costume with some areas that were White.
His helmet looked like the head of a Tyrannosaurus, while on his Chest was a
Gold Cross.
Apple said,
“Who are you guys?â€
Lucile/Yellow
Ranger said, “We are the Champions of Justice.â€
William/Blue
Ranger said, “And defenders of the Innocent.â€
Kame-Sen’nin/Black
Ranger said, “We right all wrong and defeat all evil.â€
Sarah/Pink
Ranger said, “And you are evil for sure.â€
Thomas/Red
Ranger said, “Stand back for we are…â€
All of them
said, “The Power Rangers!â€
They each
pulled their lasers from their holster, and fired them at Apple.
He screamed
as the Lasers hit him, and he collapsed to the ground.
KA-BOOM!!!
Apple was destroyed in a massive explosion.
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
Lieutenant
Colored Pencil was collecting energy from the victims, but when Apple was
destroyed, the majority of the energy was restored from whom it was taken
from.
Lieutenant
Colored Pencil said, “Those Ranger will pay for this.â€
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
After the
battle the five Warriors were transported back to the Power Chamber. When they
got there a few new people were waiting for them along with Hotaru. Zordon
introduced Hotaru first. “This young girl you already know. She is Princess
Hotaru from the Planet Saturn. This young man is…â€
Kame-Sen’nin
said, “He needs no introduction. He is Prince Endymion of Earth.â€
Zordon said,
“This is Earth’s Guardian, Cloud.†As he introduced the next guy. He then
pointed to a young woman and said, “This is Queen Serenity, ruler of this Entire
System. Her daughter is engaged to Prince Endymion.â€
Beta Eleven
pointed to a chubby man and said, “This is Kaio-sama. He is the Guardian of the
North Quadrant of our Universe.â€
Zordon said,
“Hotaru will stay behind to give you guidance when you need it. If things get
really bad, the others can help as needed. Remember you are the Power Rangers,
the last hope of this Earth, and the Universe. We do not know who is behind this
Threat yet, or why they have targeted this Planet, but it is your mission to
stop them.â€
William said,
“We just did.â€
Zordon said,
“He was just a pawn to the Villain who is now in this World.â€
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
After talking
to Zordon, the Rangers teleported back to the
Thomas said,
“I wonder what happen?â€
Just then one
of the Villagers ran up to them and said, “Where have you been, you missed all
the action? Some warriors just saved us from a demon creature. Not to mention
what just happened at the castle.â€
Lucile asked,
“What’s happened?â€
The Villager
said, “The Count’s Grandchild was just born.â€
William
asked, “Is it a boy or girl?â€
The Villager
replied, “I’m pleased to announce that he has a Grandson.â€
Sarah asked,
“What is the little guy’s name.â€
The Villager
said, “His name is Daniel.â€

Captain Vicious said, "So let me get this strait. You were stopped by five kids in colored costumes."
On the View Screen, Lieutenant Colored Pencil said, "Um, Yup."
Captain Vicious said, "Do not fail again"
Lieutenant Colored Pencil said, "But what if they stop me again?"
Captain Vicious said, "What is our mission Lieutenant?"
Lieutenant Colored Pencil said, "To gather energy for our Empress."
Captain Vicious said, "That*s right. So my question is do we have enough energy?"
Lieutenant Colored Pencil said, "Well."
Captain Vicious smiled, but it quickly turned into a growl, "NO!" he said, "So what do you call that measly ten percent that we had to send to our empress because you failed. What she might do to you makes my punishment pail in comparison, and they call me Captain Vicious."
Lieutenant Colored Pencil said, "Don*t worry sir. This time they are up a tree without a paddle."
Captain Vicious said, "IT IS UP A CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE YOU IDIOT! Oh never mind just gather energy, and while your at it. KILL THE POWER RANGERS!"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Meanwhile back in the
Kame-Sen*nin said, "So your parents arrange your marriage?"
William said, "That*s right. We get married at a young age, and our parents choose our soul mates for us. I am betrothed to Lucile here, and someday Thomas will be Betrothed to Sarah."
Thomas said, "But until then the four of us, just have fun, like a young kid should."
They ran to play in the creek but just then the Grapes appeared and started to trash the town.
The Rangers ran back to fight them before they hurt someone. Luckily for them no one was around.
After a while they managed to defeat each one of them. But when they went back to play in the Creek William*s mother said, "Time to come in son."
Thomas said, "Oh I hate being a Ranger. Those guys are taking away all our fun time."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Meanwhile in the Power Chamber, Zordon, Hotaru, and Alpha were trying to discover where the tenth of energy that the Enemy had managed to steal went.
Alpha said, "The energy went to a ship on the edge of our Solar System, but then went to a System in the*" He stopped speaking.
Zordon said, "Where did it go?"
Hotaru said, "To a system in the Razor Galaxy."
Zordon said, "We know what the energy is being used for don*t we."
The other two nodded their head.
Alpha said, "I don*t think we should tell the Rangers yet."
Hotaru said, "I agree. They aren't ready for this."
Zordon said, "I also agree, we don*t even know if these are the Chosen Heroes yet."
Hotaru said, "But I thought the Transporter chose them."
Zordon said, "It chose five warriors that were pure of heart. They may have defeated Apple, but if we are right, and they are not the chosen ones, they will be killed."
Alpha said, "And if they are. One of them will be killed anyway."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The next day Tommy said, "So do we know where Apple came from yet, or who sent him?"
William replied, "Man, no we don*t. Zordon and Alpha are keeping stuff from us"
"We are supposed to be Earth*s protectors. We should no who we are dealing with." Sarah said.
Just then the Town Hero, George Hunkle, walked by.
William said, "I don*t like that guy. Just because he has big mussels the Village all but worships him."
Thomas said, "They would probably do that too if the Church wasn't against it."
Lucile said, "Just because one day he saved a kid in the river. Ever since that day all he*s done is just accept praise for it, he hasn't even done anything else for this town."
However they weren't the only ones watching George. In the shadows stood Lieutenant Colored Pencil. "Target found," he said.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
George Hunkle entered his home only to see himself looking back at him.
The next thing he knew, an arm was sticking out of the front of his chest with his heart in someone*s hand.
George said, "Oh b*" Then he dropped dead.
Lieutenant Colored Pencil pulled his hand back out and said, "Orange you know what to do."
Orange/George s
