Armored Rangers

Chapter 2

Thanks to ECHO-173 for help with this episode.

Vennie stepped through the portal into a room in the shape of a heptagon, 7 walls with 7 different doors. Vennie closed her door to find the door on this side of the portal was also green. Next to her door was a yellow door and a blue door. Past the yellow door was an orange door followed by a red door. Past the blue door was a violet door. Separating the red and violet doors was a gray double door which Vennie deduced that it went into the rest of the base. "These must be the other rooms of the Rangers! Oooo... I don't know if or not I should peek into them!" Vennie excitedly squealed.

"I'd recommend against that." A voice spoke out. Vennie screamed as she noticed the alien now walking into the room. An amphibious humanoid with teal skin tone, gills on the side of their neck, a bump with nostrils instead of a nose, and black pearl eyes, overall they have webbed feet and hands. Wearing a black exo suit with water tanks on the collar to maintain their water adaptability while said suit produces an inner water system to keep them hydrated.

Vennie gasped in awe, "You're one of the aliens who created the Armored Rangers! Your name is uh.... Em.... Umm......" Vennie snapped her fingers trying to recall the alien's name.

The alien chuckled at Vennie's actions. "Don't worry about my name, it's forgettable to you humans as your brains cannot process the alien letters of my kind's advanced language. The Rangers and other aliens here call me Link, as I resemble a once missing link in the human evolution line." Link explained. "I come from a planet in this galaxy, a planet that had very little until trade between planets was formed, once known as a 'pit stop' as you humans call them. You humans now know it as the Asteroid Belt."

"But there is no life on the astroid- I see what you mean now." Vennie stated as she figured out that the planet was destroyed.

"Yes. Now, who are you?" Link stated before taking off one of his gloves and holding his hand out toward Vennie, showing her the many bumps on his hand. "You are Vinnie Walker. You are 16 as of 5 months ago. You have been a major fan of Tokusatsu since you were 10, you especially loved the series Super Sentai. And... You are very excited to be here. Though I didn't need to read your mind to know that."

Vennie was practically shining with excitement. "You have Psychometry?! Or some weird version of it?" Vennie exclaimed.

Link closed his hand and put his glove back on. "Yes. I am the psychiatrist of this building. I can read any thought or emotion you may have. As well as feel those emotions you've felt. This is a job that is both physically and mentally taxing. You must maintain a healthy body along with a healthy mind." Link explained. He then turned to the exit door and motioned for Vennie to follow. "Now come with me. You need to meet the other creators of the Armored Rangers and then you must be debriefed on your role as an Armored Ranger."

Vennie excitedly followed the aquatic alien. She was led down the hall where she saw blue circuit lines on the walls. Vennie asked, "What's all these lines for?"

"The Ranger Base is powered by a specially grown energy plant, you know of those?" Link replied.

Vennie quickly nodded, "Yeah! Given by the Flora Colossus after they were saved from the Geartrex Empire. The Energy Plant is a plant that can produce enough energy to power a city! It solved the great energy crisis!"

Link nodded in agreement, "Correct. We've grown a special energy plant to power this facility but there is a much greater power source here that gives the rangers their power." The two then entered a room upon entering was wide open with almost nothing inside. Aside from another alien doing squats in the center.

An extraterrestrial that looked like anthropomorphic Northwestern wolf with lavender and white fur, with black fur forming lines all over their body, including two upward triangular shapes above the brow ridges. A silver collar around the neck and silver wristbands. Silver pants with vertical black stripes on the legs, and iron gray boots shaped like wolf hind paws with red shafts.
