First: I would like to thank the Blanks, Nic, BattleRanger and all the others on this forum for inspiring me in writing this fic.
The process in making this fanfic took a time from about 4 years (from first concept to posting it on a side) so I am really curious about the reaction (or if I gain reaction) from the users traveling in this forum.
Anyway, now to the official part:
I do NOT own Power Rangers and am not willing to take any commercial gain from writing this. Thie Characters, names, some of the places and events are completely fictional, only port of the locations are related with places, existing in real life.
Any named club, brand name or company is property of their rightful owner and is used for commercial success.
No animals were harmed or injured during the making of this fanfiction.
WARNING: This Fanfiction contains small parts of foul language which has been censored by the author!
And now... here is the first episode of my fic. (please Tom and Ryland... show some mercy);)
POWER RANGERS
Shaolin Kung-Fu
Roars and Screams
Part 1
By Laufwunder
“Oh man… the pistons lost again!” Clarence Thomas, who was used just to be called `CT`, said disappointed as he flew over the newspaper with his eyes. CT was nearly 180cm tall. His head shaped short. And just like on every morning, the young African American sat in the kitchen for breakfast.
“And you are wondering, with that coach?” His brother Jule answered from the other side of the table. “So… today begins your last month in high school huh!?” The younger of the two continued while the other laid down the paper.
“Yeah! It doesn’t take long and I will go to college. Or at least… I hope so!” Clarence smiled. He wasn’t sure if he would be accepted on those higher schools he send advertisements to. A lots of moments in the past, he asked himself if he should have continued working harder as a Defensive Back to gain a scholarship. He was good in school, but CT has always been a sceptical one.
“HURRY UP CT OR YOU´LL MISS YOUR BUS!!!” A voice from upstairs rang through the corridor.
The African American realized suddenly that time went fast. ”Yes mom!” He quickly grapped his bag and stood up. “Bye little brother!” With those words, he stormed out of the house.
************************
A school bust took a halt in front of a station in the middle of Detroit, Michigan. Even in this early hours, the city was already busy. But the only one standing on this station was a tall man with short brown hair wearing a blue T-shirt. The vehicle came into halt in front of him, and he stepped in as soon as the doors opened. His gaze fell directly on a guy in the same age as himself with his hair cut as a buzz cut. The young man was very muscular and had a look on his face like a guy, you wouldn’t like to meet in the dark.
“Hey what’s up?” The newcomer in the bus asked out of the blue and raised his arm. The buzz cut looked up at him and out of the sudden came a friendly smile.
“I’d a rough night; my knee still hurts, but besides… I’m fine.” He answered sarcastically making space for his friend to sit down.
“So first day on College and you don’t take the car? What is with you, you are usually a complete show of?”
“Come on, don’t tease me! The god damn thing died tomorrow.” Christian B. Xero and Daniel Marcus have been best friends for 10 years now. They went to school together and were nearly unable to be broken up. Both decided, besides the calls, to study on a local college instead of leaving the city. “Y’know what I´m wandering about buddy? With ya´ marks ya´ could study on every college or university ya’d want. Why did ya’ stay here with me in this city?” Chris asked while he looked out of the window onto the streets of Motown.”
Dan glanced to the side. “Even with all the problems… no way in hell I would leave this place. Here are my roots.” The bus stopped and the two quickly got out of the vehicle. Daniel was about a head taller than Chris but way skinnier. The two made a picture like Hannibal Smith and B.A. Baracus, The brain and the muscle.
The duo right away entered the main hall of Wayne Conty University of Detroit, where already lots of people wandered around busy to find their class rooms. Chris and Dan just walked around a corner when…
“HEY BIG BUTT!” Chris stopped in his tracks at once with wide open eyes. “How’s it goin´!”
“I didn’t hear that name for years.” He turned around immediately to see a short haired blonde woman slightly grinning at him. “Ya’ got to be kiddin’ me? Katrin!?”
“Hey Chris!” The woman ran up to him taking Chris into a tight hug.
“What… what the hell!?” Both were smiling like the Cheshire cat.
They faced Dan. “Buddy… this is my… old best friend Katrin Shawn out of my childhood days. This is Daniel Marcus, my best piece.” Dan shook her hand with a smile.
“Nice to meet you!” The young woman greeted him. “Well… this is Anja!” A woman with long brown hair stepped beside Katrin. At first, Chris didn’t want to look but as he saw her, his eyes rested like hypnotized on her. “Hello!” He said nervous.
“Hi, what’s up?” A few moment s of nearly embarrassing silence followed before Katrin spoke up again.
“So you guys have already something to do after school?”
“Yeah uhm… actually we wanted to play a game of basketball in the afternoon. Do you want to come?” The buzz cut answered not sure what to think of that idea.
“No, thanks but… this ain´t exactly what we had in mind for spending our spare time.”
Inside Chris was a mixture of disappointment and release. “Well then… we see ya´ maybe tomorrow.”
**************************
At the same time, a giant starship was entering the solar-system. Besides the black metal that built the outer skin of the vessel, were various blue lights lightening the outside giving the craft a dangerous look. It had an enormous length with large wing typed parts at each side of the vessel. The back part was connected to the front with a long corridor which brought the men on board up to the bridge. The bridge itself was the hugest and busiest room on the ship. Most members of the crew had suits with blue torsos and black arm parts. Their faces were also pitch black with red eyes. When thy opened their mouths, blue light shined out of them.
“Sir! We have reached the optimal position for entering an orbit to earth!” One of the pilots said saluting. And with that came a figure out of the shadows which looked nearly exactly like the crew. But with a difference, he had some strange looking ears, like a mixture of bat-ears and those of a Shepard. His body was clearly bigger then a human.
“Excellent, it won’t take long and all in the galaxy will know that if Dark Specter would have send me on the mission to catch the Space Rangers instead of Astronema, he would still be wandering among the stars. But soon I will conquer earth after all.” The commander of the ship grinned.
“I have a question!” An alien with a robotic kind of body called from a distance. Its head was the only part on his body that seemed to be organic.
“And what the hell might that be?!” The commander replied annoyed.
“Why are we still scanning for Ranger energies? The power rangers disappeared from earth.”
“The galaxy Rangers are maybe wandering around space. But I know this Zordon and his brat. I am not willing to underestimate my enemy. You may never know if there’s something left. A crystal or some morphers or whatever these geeks worked for this giant floating head!”
“Sir! We detected six energy signals from the northern hemisphere of the planet.” A crew member sitting on the left yelled out. Immediately the commander glanced at his second in command, standing behind him.
“See… I hate it when I’m right!” He smiled totally persuaded by his superior intellect. “Track down the precise location and inform me on every development at once! The commander walked out of the bridge smirking to himself, “The days of earth are counted!”
************************
Chris and Marcus had a normal morning and were now playing on a yard not far away from college. It was a calm place where not many people were around usually. “Oh you have to be faster than that!” Chris mocked as he made a fake trying to trick his friend. And it really worked. He headed directly for a slam dunk.
“Oh I am!” As Chris was about to get the ball in, Daniel appeared in front of him and blocked his friend so hard that he fell to the ground with the ball rolling away.
“Damn! That’s the second time today!”
“Like I said, It ain´t just a question of muscle and strength. It’s also in the head!” Chris grasped Dans hand and stood up.
“Hey you two! Do you wanna´ play a game?” Both looked at a young African American in about their age. To his right was a small guy with a pistons shirt. His hair was dyed blond in a slight way and was hold out of his face with a sweat band.
“Okay! I’m cool with it!” Chris replied.
The other duo walked up to the two shaking their hand. “I’m Clarence, you can call me CT if you want! This is Alex!”
“Hi, you can call me Schick!”
“Schick? Why’s that?” Chris asked and raised an eyebrow of confusion.
“That’s a German word for nice or beauty. My ancestors came from Germany.
“Well I’m Chris, this is Daniel.”
“Nice meetin´ ya´!” CT threw the ball back to them.“Lets play!”
Soon the four had an intense match going on. The prize was a free lunch. At the score of 10-9 advantage for CT and Alex., Daniel blocked an important throw.
“You know what nickname I gained over the years? People used to call me the m***********. Because I was able to spoil everybody’s fun!” With a complicated move, he smoked Schick and headed straight for the basket. But in the last second, CT stole the ball in a very easy way. He passed it in the air so Alex could catch it in the air making alley up goal.
“Oh s***… now that’s what I’m talking about”, CT called out loud in joy. With that the game was over and the four gathered around in the middle of the field.
“Well… you guys gave us some hard challenge, maybe we can do this more often, especially with an outcoming like this.” Alex laughed to the outside.
“No problem! Now please… let’s get over with this!” Chris mumbled while advising the rest to follow him. Dan stayed a few meters away to pack in all the stuff they had with them. He Is a good… but he has a talent to get his ass whooped anytime! He thought as…
“Iiiiiiiiii!” He shook up and glanced around the places hectically. The shriek or at least what he thought it would be, sounded like it was directly beside his ears. Like the scream of a large bird. But his eyes could see nothing, even in the sky.
“What’s wrong with you?” His friend asked and padded him on the shoulder. Concern sounded off in his voice.
“Didn’t you hear that?”
“Hear what?”
“The eagle that was screaming just a few seconds ago? No way in hell you could have missed that!” Dan gestured heavy not knowing to do.
“I didn’t hear anything. Besides, I dunno` what’s so special about an eagle screaming.” Chris glances were locked on him, he had one eyebrow raised not really what should expect right now.
“An eagle? In this city? Not really! And besides that, it was so loud that I could swear it must have been directly down here on the ground.”
Chris gaze was now a mixture of suspicious and not taking him serious. “Man I hope that the lunch from the mess doesn’t hav´ this affect on me too.” Chris walked back to the other two, leaving Daniel behind still wondering.
***********************
On the starship in space, the crew was still on a large search. But certainly unimpressed from it were two Aliens observing the whole scene. One of them was the one that had the conversation with the commander of the ship. The other one was an alien of the same species, but he had grey robotic skin than a black like his comrade. His head was the same type. Only with the difference that he had light red skin than his partner. They both sat on a table taking a drink.
“Crogon is really obsessed of finding these rangerlike energy signatures isn’t he?!” His comrade leaned back in his chair.
“Stay calm Hidragon, Crogon’s father was under the troops that were killed as The red space ranger killed Zordon to defeat us all.” The one answered.
“I just hope that we can conquer this planet quick so we can leave soon.” In a sudden, the speaker cracked and Crogon’s voice sounded off.
“BARKONAL, HIDRAGON… REPORT TO BRIDGE IMMIDIATLY!!!” They hectically rushed up from their seats and ran out of the room. Minutes later, both generals arrived and saluted towards their commander.
“We detected the signatures in the northern part of the so called `American continent`. I want you to put together a squad and get rid of them.” Crogon commanded giving a bunch of keys to the two.
“I’ll do it Sir!” Hidragon said heading directly running out of the room.
“You think that this will be enough?” Barkonal asked sceptical.
“No… but at least we can try it!” He smirked evil.
**********************
“Yeah… I know that sounds strange. But I swear to god that I heard what I heard.” Daniel was curious about that incident and didn’t talk about anything else. Katrin was listening carefully.
“Listen, I do believe that you would never lie or making up things. But if there would have really been such a loud scream, than the others should have heard this too.” They wandered through a corridor at the university.
“I will go back to that field today to see if I find something out. Will you come with me?”
Katrin was a little bit confused, sure she didn’t knew him that well that she would go with him. But in some way, she was interested in what made the guy act like that. “Okay we both will search the place for anything weird this afternoon, if that’s making you feel better.” She finally replied.
Dan smiled a bit, “thank you!”
**************************
At another school, sports were on schedule. Alex was preparing for a 100m sprint in athletics. Usually for him, this was something for him to worry about. He indeed was a good athlete but not really in running. Short after he was ready, the trainer lifted the starting pistol. “READY… SET… GO!”The eight competitors exploded out of their starting blocks. And as he expected, Alex was falling behind soon.
I knew this was going on be like this. Alright stay calm… breath… you need the points… go harder! He pressed all his power into his steps to get forward. And in fact, he was winning ground. He left the others behind like they were running in slow motion. It was a feeling of unbelief as he crossed the finish line first.
“Man that was awesome!” CT approached him directly. “I thought that you weren’t good at running over all this years.” He noted by padding Alex on the shoulder. Alex himself was no bit out of air. But the only thing that was more suspicious than that race was the strange fizzling in his ears which even got louder while CT walked away from him.
What the hell is this? It sounded like a creature or at least that was what he thought. What a sec… what did Daniel say yesterday? It seems that he somehow infected me!? Not a realistic way to describe but a possibility.
***************************
Barkonal and Hidragon entered a room on the ship, that had lots of large tables in it loaded with small bottles. There was one only for bottles with blue liquid. Another had various on it. “Do you know what Rita Repulsa had as an advantage compared to the other villains?” Barkonal asked.
“No… actually not!”
“She didn’t have to waste space for her army. She just made them out of clay.” The red black skinned alien picked up one of the bottles just before spreading the liquid over the whole floor. Soon, huge bubbles formed on the surface before seconds later, large creatures arise from the liquid. Like Crogon, their torso was blue with black arm parts.
“Alright you maggots!” The General called up like a military sergeant. “The commander wants you to find the possible Rangers and get them out of way as soon as possible.”
Without saying s or signs of respond, the group left the room.
“Are we sure of the location?” Hidragon whispered his friend into its ear.
Barkonal simply turned to him. “Sure we do! United States! Detroit Michigan!”
***************************
CT had agreed to meet with Chris at a small restaurant in the closer area of CT´s School. From the place he was looking at the place was his new found friend freeze standing on the sideway. He quickly decided to walk straight up to him. Chris gaze was tensed and his ears were locked on the surroundings.
“Hey… what’s up?” Like a gumball, Chris jumped high up into the air, totally shocked of the sudden loud noise.
“WHAT THE HELL! CT… how could ya’?”
“How could I what?”
“How could ya’ sneak up on me like that?” The young white man was curious about his new friend. Some sort of shock stood in his eyes like he never expected to be surprised like that.
“What are you talking about? I just up to you over the street normal.” Chris and CT looked at each other for a long moment.
“IT CAN`T BE!!!” Both shouted out at the same time.
“Do ya’ think that here’s something goin’ on that we’re completely not aware of?” Chris opened the door of the restaurant with wide open eyes. CT followed him with the same amazed face expression.
“First Daniel! Than Schick, and now you and me! Do you see any chance in HELL that this is nothing to WORRY about?” Chris already knew the answer of that question. “What did you hear?” The African American went on.
“Ya’d never believe me that! It sounded like some sort of a dragon.” He stared down on the table. “And ya’?”
“I heard something like a big cat. Some sort of a puma.” CT grasped the card. “And what now?”
“We’ll go on like nothing happened. If ya’ve a better idea, please tell me!!”
*****************************
“Well… here it is!” Dan called as he and Katrin sat down on a bench aside the basketball field.
“I know I asked you this before but… what exactly was so odd on that incident?” The blonde female asked while Dan picked out a spyglass looking at the tops of some of the buildings.
“Normally, free eagles don’t live in a big city like this; mostly they built their nests on high mountains or on slippy cliffs where they are safe from enemies.” He then mustered a large trash can in the near.
“But it could have although be an animal of a near eagle farm?” Katrin couldn’t imagine why Dan was so serious about clearing this up.
“I looked around in the phone book. There is none in the near. And mostly, they don’t let them out in the city.” For an hour Dan received one low blow after another. Finally he was persuaded of giving up. “Okay that’s it, I’m outta here!”
Katrin was surprised as she heard what Dan was about to do. “Wait a second! About half an hour ago you told me that giving up isn’t an option for you.
Daniel was putting his stuff back into the bag. “Well… I was wrong, I’m not really used to be wrong or to fail. Gosh! Why am I even bothering?” Katrin did not want to ask any further. The two soon reached the fence that surrounded the field. But as they wanted to walk through the door, blue light blocked their way.
“WHAT THE HELL!” Katrin called as about ten blue and black Aliens jumped over the fence and surrounded the two.
“What are these freaks?” Dan walked harsh backwards.
“More interesting is… what do they want from us?” Without any warning, the aliens attacked. Daniel could barely block a strike, but received a hard kick into the stomach. Katrin on the other side ran up to a bench trying to get lose of those freaks. But before she could get on top of it, she was kicked into the back and landed on the ground. Two, grasped her by the arms to throw her a few yards through the air.
Daniel was also grasped at the back by one alien while another one punched him, than they tossed him away. Both humans landed beside each other crawling in pain. “Now that’s something that I didn’t expect when I woke up this morning!” Daniel said.
“Don’t tell me!” Katrin replied. The two had to watch how they were cornered by the aliens, nearly helpless to fight back.

At the same time, a giant starship was entering the solar-system. Besides the black metal that built the outer skin of the vessel, were various blue lights lightening the outside giving the craft a dangerous look. It had an enormous length with large wing typed parts at each side of the vessel. The back part was connected to the front with a long corridor which brought the men on board up to the bridge.

Katrin was a little bit confused, sure she didn’t knew him that well that she would go with him. But in some way, she was interested in what made the guy act like that. “Okay we both will search the place for anything weird this afternoon, if that’s making you feel better.” She finally replied.
Dan smiled a bit, “thank you!”

At another school, sports were on schedule. Alex was preparing for a 100m sprint in athletics. Usually for him, this was something for him to worry about. He indeed was a good athlete but not really in running. Short after he was ready, the trainer lifted the starting pistol. “READY… SET… GO!”The eight competitors exploded out of their starting blocks. And as he expected, Alex was falling behind soon.
I knew this was going on be like this. Alright stay calm… breath… you need the points… go harder! He pressed all his power into his steps to get forward. And in fact, he was winning ground. He left the others behind like they were running in slow motion. It was a feeling of unbelief as he crossed the finish line first.
“Man that was awesome!” CT approached him directly. “I thought that you weren’t good at running over all this years.” He noted by padding Alex on the shoulder. Alex himself was no bit out of air. But the only thing that was more suspicious than that race was the strange fizzling in his ears which even got louder while CT walked away from him.
What the hell is this? It sounded like a creature or at least that was what he thought. What a sec… what did Daniel say yesterday? It seems that he somehow infected me!? Not a realistic way to describe but a possibility.

Barkonal and Hidragon entered a room on the ship, that had lots of large tables in it loaded with small bottles. There was one only for bottles with blue liquid. Another had various on it. “Do you know what Rita Repulsa had as an advantage compared to the other villains?” Barkonal asked.
“No… actually not!”
“She didn’t have to waste space for her army. She just made them out of clay.” The red black skinned alien picked up one of the bottles just before spreading the liquid over the whole floor. Soon, huge bubbles formed on the surface before seconds later, large creatures arise from the liquid. Like Crogon, their torso was blue with black arm parts.
“Alright you maggots!” The General called up like a military sergeant. “The commander wants you to find the possible Rangers and get them out of way as soon as possible.”
Without saying s or signs of respond, the group left the room.
“Are we sure of the location?” Hidragon whispered his friend into its ear.
Barkonal simply turned to him. “Sure we do! United States! Detroit Michigan!”

CT had agreed to meet with Chris at a small restaurant in the closer area of CT´s School. From the place he was looking at the place was his new found friend freeze standing on the sideway. He quickly decided to walk straight up to him. Chris gaze was tensed and his ears were locked on the surroundings.
“Hey… what’s up?” Like a gumball, Chris jumped high up into the air, totally shocked of the sudden loud noise.
“WHAT THE HELL! CT… how could ya’?”
“How could I what?”
“How could ya’ sneak up on me like that?” The young white man was curious about his new friend. Some sort of shock stood in his eyes like he never expected to be surprised like that.
“What are you talking about? I just up to you over the street normal.” Chris and CT looked at each other for a long moment.
“IT CAN`T BE!!!” Both shouted out at the same time.
“Do ya’ think that here’s something goin’ on that we’re completely not aware of?” Chris opened the door of the restaurant with wide open eyes. CT followed him with the same amazed face expression.
“First Daniel! Than Schick, and now you and me! Do you see any chance in HELL that this is nothing to WORRY about?” Chris already knew the answer of that question. “What did you hear?” The African American went on.
“Ya’d never believe me that! It sounded like some sort of a dragon.” He stared down on the table. “And ya’?”
“I heard something like a big cat. Some sort of a puma.” CT grasped the card. “And what now?”
“We’ll go on like nothing happened. If ya’ve a better idea, please tell me!!”

“Well… here it is!” Dan called as he and Katrin sat down on a bench aside the basketball field.
“I know I asked you this before but… what exactly was so odd on that incident?” The blonde female asked while Dan picked out a spyglass looking at the tops of some of the buildings.
“Normally, free eagles don’t live in a big city like this; mostly they built their nests on high mountains or on slippy cliffs where they are safe from enemies.” He then mustered a large trash can in the near.
“But it could have although be an animal of a near eagle farm?” Katrin couldn’t imagine why Dan was so serious about clearing this up.
“I looked around in the phone book. There is none in the near. And mostly, they don’t let them out in the city.” For an hour Dan received one low blow after another. Finally he was persuaded of giving up. “Okay that’s it, I’m outta here!”
Katrin was surprised as she heard what Dan was about to do. “Wait a second! About half an hour ago you told me that giving up isn’t an option for you.
Daniel was putting his stuff back into the bag. “Well… I was wrong, I’m not really used to be wrong or to fail. Gosh! Why am I even bothering?” Katrin did not want to ask any further. The two soon reached the fence that surrounded the field. But as they wanted to walk through the door, blue light blocked their way.
“WHAT THE HELL!” Katrin called as about ten blue and black Aliens jumped over the fence and surrounded the two.
“What are these freaks?” Dan walked harsh backwards.
“More interesting is… what do they want from us?” Without any warning, the aliens attacked. Daniel could barely block a strike, but received a hard kick into the stomach. Katrin on the other side ran up to a bench trying to get lose of those freaks. But before she could get on top of it, she was kicked into the back and landed on the ground. Two, grasped her by the arms to throw her a few yards through the air.
Daniel was also grasped at the back by one alien while another one punched him, than they tossed him away. Both humans landed beside each other crawling in pain. “Now that’s something that I didn’t expect when I woke up this morning!” Daniel said.
“Don’t tell me!” Katrin replied. The two had to watch how they were cornered by the aliens, nearly helpless to fight back.
