I went to meet Devon at the gym like we usually did everyday, only today my arm was in a cast. "Hey Dev!" I greeted happily when I saw him. He was sitting with some people I didn't recognize.
"Kali! Hey, I wanna introduce you to some new friends...woah, what happened to your arm?" he then asked worriedly.
"Heh, that's actually a pretty crazy story. First, who are your new friends?"
"Right. Guys, this is my best friend, Kalindi," Devon introduced.
"Please, call me Kali," I told them happily.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Zoey!" the girl in a yellow blouse greeted me.
"Hey, I'm Ravi," the guy in a blue t-shirt said.
"And I'm Nate," the youngest looking boy with glasses smiled.
"Nice to meet you all too," I smiled.
"Now, what happened?" Devon then asked as I sat down.
"Well, after you left yesterday, I went to my spot at the plaza to read. After a while people started screaming and running away, so I ran in the opposite direction and to my surprise found a crazy looking motorcycle monster thing. Long story short, I saw the Power Rangers, tried fighting this girl wearing a black and yellow outfit, and got my arm broken in the fight."
"You met the Power Rangers?" Nate asked a little hesitantly.
"Well...not exactly. More like they saved my butt. Twice."
"Didn't they tell you to get to safety?" Zoey then asked.
"Yeah...but one thing about me, as Devon knows, I'm a huge Ranger nerd and I never thought I'd see them, let alone in my own city. Never thought I'd be caught in a fight with bad guys either," I chuckled. "But the Yellow Ranger told me to check out Grid Battleforce, so that's where I'm heading today. You guys wanna come?" I then asked.
"Actually, I'm a scientist there. I can help you get in," Nate smiled.
"Awesome! I'd love to try their battle simulator. I heard it's pretty tough. I bet I could learn a lot from it," I said excitedly.
"I don't know about that, Kali. You might, ya know, need both arms," Devon mentioned.
"Nah, two arms are overrated. One arm is just fine," I joked and everyone chuckled lightly, making me smile.
We all hung out and talked for a while. As I got to know them more I began to realize something: two of them must be the other Rangers. I also kind of recognized Zoey's voice and figured she was the Yellow Ranger. However, I kept all my theories to myself as I know very well how important secret identities are to the Power Rangers. After a couple hours, we all went to Grid Battleforce together. Nate got us in and led us to the lab.
"Wow, I've never been in a real lab before. This is cool, Nate! What kinds of things do you do here?" I asked as I looked around, seeing different things of tech, plants, and various chemicals.
"Mostly figuring out how to improve Morph X and what all we can use it for," Nate replied.
"Morph X?" I asked. Then I remembered that Roxy had told that guy yesterday to take Morph X back to someone named Evox. I brought it up to Nate.
"Hm, that's not good. Morph X is a great clean energy source, but if it's in the wrong hands it can be very powerful," Nate said.
"We should let the Rangers know," I said casually.
"Next time I see them around, I'll let them know," Nate said awkwardly. I noticed Devon shift uncomfortably and everyone else looked around like they've never been here. I smiled to myself.
