Power Rangers: Dawn of the Power

It's Morphin' Time

Trini woke up exhausted to the beeping and rapid vibrations of her phone, " Damn," she sighed. Her Power Coin was still within her grasp.

Had she held onto all night?

Forcing herself out of bed, Trini turned off her phones alarm and got dressed. Black leggings, black tee shirt, and a yellow hoodie that she wore open. Finally making her way out of her room, Trini walked to the front door, dodging her parents' disapproving glares.

Billy's Pov

" Hey! Give that back!"

Skull slammed me against the locker. He had my treasure, or my Power Coin. I tried to push back, but he had too much of a grip on my wrists, " What're you gonna do about it, Cranston?"

I groaned as I tried to break free, but it was no use.

" I'll tell ya' what," Skull said, " You tell me where I can get one of these things, and I'll give it back to ya', deal?"

I stared at him, then turned away, " C'mon, Billy, you're a smart kid. Just tell me,"

Smart kid? Was that why he was picking on me?

He couldn't have been serious, could he have? If I'm completely honest, I couldn't really tell.

" Come on!" I fell to the cold, hard, dirty school floor as Skull punched me in the face, " Where the hell did you get this thing!"

I felt tears fall drip down from my eyes. No. I couldn't cry. I knew better than that. I don't what came over me, but suddenly, I felt... Empowered. I stood and head butted Skull. He was knocked a few feet back. He stared at me in awe.

My hands felt unusually warm. I observed my hands, they were... Glowing blue. A very vibrant blue at that.

" H-Here! Take the damn thing!" Skull threw my coin back at me, and with shocking accuracy, I caught it while it was in midair. Skull ran away, and I put my coin in my pocket.

Wait, was that... The Power?

...

" Tell me," a raspy voice asked, " Where are the Power Rangers?"

" Who? Power Rangers?"

The small crowd of citizens walking the streets of Angel Grove froze at the sight of this woman. Or witch. The witch was wearing slightly revealing, metallic green armor, and held a large golden staff. Her long, silky black hair flowed in the wind. Her gleaming, emerald green eyes spelled nothing but trouble. Some people were smart enough to stay away from her and the humanoid, primeape-like creature layered in golden armor behind her.

The woman slapped the teenage girl she had asked about the Rangers in the face, hard enough for blood to flow out of her mouth, " Bitch!"

" My name is Rita Repulsa, not 'Bitch'," she said, " I am an almighty sorceress! And if you don't tell me where the Power Rangers are located--"

" Oh, call off the act you goddamn cosplayer!" A young man in the crowd yelled. Rita teleported right in front of him and held her pointed staff to his neck.

" Don't you dare defy me," Rita screamed before slashing her staff across his chest. The man lay lifeless on the concrete in his own blood.

" S-Someone call a paramedic! The cops! Someone!"

Zack's Pov

" Ok, mom. Just stay in bed and get some rest. I love you," I gave my mom a quick, soft hug before leaving the room. My mother was sick.

Like, really sick...

And it was my job to take care of her. I haven't been to school in a week, and I haven't seen Jason and the others since that incident at the Juice Bar. Was any of that real? Are we really heroes or something?

I don't know, it was all too confusing for me. I have way too much shit on my mind right now anyway.

I tried to take my mind off of the situation by watching some tv, but on every channel was a weird news alert.

" Breaking News! There is a deranged woman in the Downtown area of Angel Grove. She claims to be Witch and is trying to hunt down a group of people she is referring to as the Power Rangers. There have already been several casualties,"

My eyes shot open. So this... This was real...

" W-We have also just been informed that there have been several deaths so far as well,"

That's what set me off. My mother has been stuck in her bed for months now, her death was... Sadly inevitable. But I damn sure wasn't going to let anymore innocent people die.

I pulled my coin out of my left pocket. The black crystal embedded in the center of it was glowing bright. I grasped it tight as I ran outside and slammed the door behind me.

I had never ran this fast in my whole life. I eventually made my way downtown. I wanted this more than I've ever wanted anything in my whole life. I held my Power Coin close to my chest. I charged through the crowd of people and leaped atop the insane Witch. I felt coldness overcome my body. The Power was flowing through my veins, my blood, my spirit. I tackled down the woman, and screamed a battle cry that would mean as much too me as my mother did,

" It's Morphin' Time!"
