Power Rangers: Shanghai Gems
Chapter 1: The beginning
Thousands of years ago was a very, very bad evil that went by the name of Dark Lady. She was the most feared in the universe and had conquered all but one planet. The planet Earth. When Dark Lady got there ready to attack, thinking that it would be easy as all the others, but it wasn't. She had not expected to encounter its five heroes called the Shanghai Gem Rangers. The battle was long fought, but in the eng the Rangers prevailed. But, now in the year 2005 the evil has again risen and seeks revenge on the Rangers.
In a center on the outskirts of the Jenn City, were a man and a young boy of about the age of 14. They were looking the monitors watching the city. And everything looked calm so far. The mystery man turned and looked at the young boy and said. "Rhys, I feel that something will soon arise, and for that I think that we will need to find a few people to help us with this." Suddenly an alarm sounded and there was something on the monitors, it looked like a giant reptile. Without a word from the man Rhys ran to transform into the Red Ruby Ranger.
Arriving at the scene Rhys thought himself. Help! What is Jason talking about? I've lived here at the GemHQ as it is called and trained at becoming a ranger for two years, following in his steps. And he wants to bring new people into this. I can do this by myself.
"Hey ugly!" he yelled. "Leave or get you @$$ kicked." Now that Rhys had seen the creature in person it looked like a cross between a turtle and a crocodile by the name of Exphoria.
The ugly looking reptile only laughed. "No one talks to Exphoria that way. So be gone and I will not hurt you."
"Don't make me laugh. I am the Red Ruby Ranger and I will beat you." And he charged. The monster and the Ruby Ranger had an all out battle. Ruby slashed him, and Exphoria came back full force and did knock Rhys away. But, it did not stop the reptile.
"Rhys. I found out how you can beat Exphoria. You have to hit him in the chest with your sword." Jason said.
"Okay. Got it." Again Rhys charged after Exphoria, and the battle went on for a long time. But, Rhys jump over the monster and when it turned and before it attacked; he took out his sword “6 Star Slash!” and sliced it in the chest, and without qualm Exphoria collapsed and exploded. Rhys then returned back to GemHQ. "Jason that wasn't that bad. Why don’t we need to bring in the noobies?" He was still a little irked about this, he didn't feel that he needed help he wasn't weak he could do this himself.
"I say that we need help because no one can do this alone. Not even you." Jason turned from the monitors and looked at Rhys. "Even I had help when I was a ranger. But, I wasn’t as old as you are now. In fact I was a lot older then you were. But if you don't receive help the evil that is here will prevail and then the Earth will be lost." Rhys thought about, but didn't answer right away; he still didn't like this.
Meanwhile, at the local teenage hangout
called the Juice Jar. Three of the soon-to-be rangers are hanging out there. Natasha was at one of the many computers talking to a pen pal she has had since elementary. Zhane was at a table talking to a girl trying to get a date. And Raphael on the other side of the room reading a book. None of these people met before, but little did they know that they would soon. The fourth ranger-to-be was on her way to a gig. Her name is Amy.
Jason looked at the monitors and spoke. "I have found 4 teenagers in the city that will you in the battle against evil."
"I still don't understand why all the help."
Rhys replied.
"Well Rhys, when you are older you will understand. Perhaps you will understand when you work with these people. And I want you to go and recruit these teenagers. The ones that you are looking for are: Natasha Christianson, Zhane Riley, Raphael Connors, and Amy Donovan." Jason showed Rhys their pictures and when he got a good look at then he went off in search for his new teammates.
He thought that he would start off at the local hangout, looked around and sure enough he found them. "Okay. Now that I have found them, how do I get them to go with me, and tell them about becoming a ranger?" he said to himself. He sat down at a distant table thinking about it.
Rhys finally decided that he was going to go up to each person and tell him or her something different. He first walked up to Natasha. "Natasha Christianson?" he asked. "Do you mind if I talk to you?"
Natasha turned from her computer and was looking eye to eyes with Rhys. "Yes, I am Natasha Christianson. And what may I do for you?"
"My name is Rhys Hansen, I go to your school. Yes, I know I look young, but that isn't point right now." he was explaining. "Right now I came to talk to you about something. It is a mission and if you choose to except it..."
Natasha laughed. "I'm sorry, but you sound like a James Bond movie." Now looking at him, she saw that this young man was serious."Umm... Okay, I can see that you are serious. Please continue."
He continued to tell her about Jason and what he said, and that if she wanted to find out more about it to come to a building that is on the outskirts of town and he left to give her time to think about it. Rhys turned and walked over to talk with Zhane and Raphael. When he talk to Zhane, Rhys said something embarrassing, which made the girl Zhane was trying to get a date with leave. To Raphael, he took the same approach as he did with Tasha. Because Raff seemed more approachable than Zhane had.
"Now where is Amy?" he was asking himself as he walked out of the building. Then as he was walking down the street, he saw her. Amy.
Amy was walking down the street in the opposite direction. She looked like she was in a hurry. It was in fact that she was going to her to a gig with her band somewhere in town. Rhys walked up to her and said. "Excuse me. Are you Amy Donovan?"
"Yes, indeed I am. And if you don't mind I have somewhere to be." And she continued on her way without a backward look. And Rhys never got say what he wanted. But, it was okay he thought. He was not going to give up. Because if he was sent to do something he was going to finish it.
Rhys ran after Amy. “Hey wait up!” he yelled at her. “I have to talk to you about something and it’s important.”
Amy whirled around. “Well, I am sorry. But, where I am going is very important to me. I am on my way to a gig. It’s a paying gig, and if I don’t get there we don’t get paid, and if that happens I don’t even want to know what will happen.” she huffed angrily and walked off.
He ran to stand in front of her. “I am sorry for having to do this, but...” Rhys grabbed her arm and dragged her off into an alley and transported them to GemHQ
“Wait. Where are you taking me? Get you hands off me...” Now they were at the center. Amy now stopped her raving to look around and with her mouth open. “What is this place? You know what never mind, I have to go. I am already late. And it is no thanks you. Now excuse me.” She walked past him and toward the door.
“Hold on. I was sent to find you to become a power ranger.” Rhys explained quickly, which made Amy stop in her tracks.
“That’s ridiculous.” she replied. “And if this is true, let me think about it okay? Right now I need to go to me gig.”
At that time when Amy walked out Zhane, Natasha and Raff walked in. “Good.” Jason said as he walked forward. “You are all here.” he looked them over. “Where’s Amy Rhys?” he asked as he turned to look at his young protege.
"Well, I tried talking with her. But didn’t come to it right away. She said she would think about it.” he responded and went on to add. “I am surprised that they even came.”
Zhane stepped forward, turned and looked at
the others. His eyes stopped on Natasha. Wow, she’s hot, he thought. She even prettier then the girl that I talked to earlier. I wonder if she would go out with me if I asked her. He walked over to her and held out his hand and said. “Hi, my name is Zhane Riley. And who might this visionary of loveliness be?”
Natasha giggled. She never had anyone talk to her like that before. “My name is Natasha Christianson.” When she had finished exchanging pleasantries with Zhane, she turned to the person on the other side her. “Who might you be?” she asked as she extending her hand.
“My name is Raphael Connors, but everyone calls me Raff.” he smiled and turned his attention back to Jason, and so did the others.
“I am glad that you guys came.” Jason said. “I almost thought that you wouldn’t come. But, I had faith. You are here because you have been asked to become rangers. There is an evil that has risen again; her name is called Dark Lady. And . . .”
“Wait a minute. You’re saying that this thing is a she?” Raphael asked.
“Yes.” Jason responded. “What did you think that it was?”
“Oh. I’m sorry sir, I didn’t mean for it to sound like it did. It’s just that, when I was growing up, I was taught not to hit girls.”
“Yes, I know. Well, it is most likely that you are not going to deal her specifically. If she is anything like Rita, you’ll be fighting her monsters. It will most likely be like when I was a ranger.”
“You were a ranger?” Natasha asked in shock.
“Yes, I was ranger.” Jason told her. “In fact I was the red ranger like Rhys here. My friends and I were among the first of many rangers that had come before you and to come. As long as is evil out there, there will be rangers.”
“You mean that there are more rangers?” Zhane asked, just as surprised, as Natasha was when she had first asked.
“Anyway, back to what I was going to say.” Jason said trying again. “Rhys has already beaten one of her monsters, but that won’t stop her. She will attack again. You will have to train for this, because it is not going to be easy. Go to Level N and I will be there in a minute.”
When everyone walked into the elevator to get to level N. Zhane turned to Natasha and smiled. “Do you know where we are going to be doing?” His hand traveled slowly to her hand to hold it. Man. She seems so nice, he thought. It’s one of the many things that I want in a girl. Geez.... I really hope that he doesn’t have a boyfriend.
Natasha smiled back and said. “No. I don’t.” And not knowing what Zhane was trying to do; she moved her hands to fold in front of her. He’s kind of cute, Tasha thought as she stole a sideways glace at Zhane. I wonder what he thinks of me. What am I saying? I had only just met this guy, and the other one. What are their names? Zhane and Raphael, right. I never heard of those names before, I like them.
They arrived at Level N and walked off. When they entered, the looked around in awe. They have never seen a place like this before. It looked like the type of room that a power ranger would train in. Natasha looked over at Raphael and she thought that he was being fairly quite except for asking a question or two, but she walked up to him and tried to strike up a conversation.
“So Raff? Or do I need to call you Raphael?” she asked.
He looked at her with no expression at all, and said. “You can call me either. I don’t mind. I am used to both of them.”
Zhane had watched as Natasha walked over to Raphael and was wondering why she was going over to him instead of being with him. She’s probably just being nice. She knows she’s supposed to be with me but doesn’t know it yet, but she will.
“So Raphael. What is it about you? You seem quiet. Not very talkative?”
“No. Not really." he replied. "I am what some may call an observer.”
They were waiting for quite a while for Jason to come up. When the door opened and Jason came forward, the three could see why he had taken so long. For behind him came four others, but were older than they were.
“These people you see behind me are my friends.” Jason said. He turned to them. “They’re my friends. The one in the glasses is William Cranston; he was the Blue Triceratops Ranger.”
“I would prefer to be called Billy. If you wouldn’t mind.” said Billy.
“Beside him is Zachary Taylor the Black Mastodon Ranger.”
“But, call me Zack.” Zack said with a smile.
Jason continued to introduce everyone else. “Next is the Pink Pterodactyl Ranger, Kimberly Hart.”
“Please. Do call me Kim.” she asked.
"And last but not least we have Trini Kwan, who was the Yellow Sabertooth Ranger. Everyone this is Raphael Connors, Zhane Riley and Natasha Christianson, and everyone already knows Rhys. They will become the rangers of their time.” He didn’t say anything about Tommy, because he was killed. Tommy was one of the first rangers to be killed. It was hard on him and his friends, but he thought that no one took it as bad as Kim did.
“It is nice to meet you all.” Natasha said stepping forward to shake everyone's hand and interrupting Jason’s thoughts. And then in turn Zhane and Raff did the same in shaking everyone’s hand.
Jason decided that the time for pleasantries was over and time to train. He asked each one of the former rangers to train with the young ones. Kim was training with Zhane, Billy with Raphael, and Trini and Zack with Natasha. With that announced the three stepped forward to go and train with the rangers who once were. Zhane walked up to Kim. “So Kim? Will you be okay when I kicked your butt?”
“Don’t be so sure of yourself Zhane. Being that thingyy will always came back to hit you.” and as she said that she punched him, and he flew to the floor.
“Umm. . . Okay.” he groaned. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
Natasha and Raff were in different parts of the training area. Natasha was doing good blocking Trini’s kicks and punches, but no so much as she wanted too. Trini kicked her and Tasha landed on her butt with a thud. “You’re good, but you still a long way to go Natasha.”
“Yes,” she panted. “I know, but I will beat you.”
“You will, but it won’t be today.” Trini reached down and to help her up. “Zack I think that it is your turn.”
Zack came forward. “Okay.” He started bobbing around on his feet like a boxer would when he was in the ring. “You were doing well against Trini. But, let’s see what you have against me.” When Natasha was up she tried her moves on him.
Raff seemed to be doing better then the other two were. He was a cadet in training after all. "How am I doing Billy?" he panted.
"You're doing very well." Billy puffed. "Where did you learn all of those moves?" he asked.
"Well, I am a cadet in training." Raphael answered.
Then everything was cut short because the alarm sounded and the Jason came over the P.A. “Would everyone come to the main room. We have a situation.”
