"Real Fiction"

[PurpleWindRangr]

This is part one of a fic I wrote today. I had the idea and just started writing. Any feedback would be great and if you like it I will write part two soon...

“Real fiction”

Everyone has an inner world of fantasy. It’s something we humans do to survive the real world. The only question is how deep you fantasy world is embedded in you. Some live so far in it they need profession help to get out. Others try to ignore that it exists and end up with no imagination. The range is an endless spectrum and as long as we are talking about fantasy that’s fine. But what is your fantasy life became your real one?

This happened for six young people who live in New Zealand. Granted, not all actually are from there. They were there to film a TV show. You see these young people were not just any young people. They were the cast of the popular children’s show “Power Rangers Ninja Storm”. They played super heroes on TV and for some of them that was their fantasy. These young actors were Pua Magasiva, Glenn McMillan, Sally Martin, Adam Tuominen, Jorgito Vargas, and Jason Chan.

On this day Sally was sitting around waiting for her scene to be shot. She had her lap top out and was online reading Rangerboard, a popular gathering place for Power Ranger Fans. Sally enjoyed reading the threads about her show, good and bad, because it was instant feedback. She was reading one thread about Adam and Jason when Adam walked up.
“Hey Sal, what’s ya doing?” he asked in his Australian accent that he was forbidden to use on the show.
“Just some reading. Appears you have lots of older fans out there.” Sally replied in her own accent.
“If course I do…why wouldn’t I?” Adam teased.
Sally rolled her eyes and handed the computer to Adam so he could read what the girls of Rangerboard were saying about him. As Adam read he slowly turned redder and redder until his face was a color that would rival the Crimson in his Ranger costume.
“Whoa…” he said at last.
Sally laughed. “I wish I had a camera so I could post a picture of this moment for the girls.” Sally said.
“I guess we have some older friends after all ey?” Adam said till red as a beet.
“I’ll say. You should see what some of the guys on there say about me.” She said.
“Sally! On set!” the director called.
“On my way…see ya Adam.” Sally said putting down her laptop and going to the set. Adam picked up the laptop and continued to read. He couldn’t help that be flattered that so many women around the world wanted him.
“I always knew I was the better looking twin.” Adam said to himself.

At the end of the day the six cast mates headed to their cars.
“See ya tomorrow.” Glenn said.
“Sure thing. Later.” Pua said when suddenly there was a horrible earthquake.
“What’s going on?” Sally asked.
“I don’t know. Take cover.” Jason said ushering his cast mates to safety. The six tried to take cover in the studio but ended up stepping into a vortex. When they came out the other side they were in a place that looked like the Ninja Ops set.
“Welcome Rangers.” A voice said.
“What is this? Some sort of joke?” Adam said.
“Ok Doug you got us.” Sally said.
“You think Grant and the Katrinas were in on it?” Glenn asked.
“I bet so. Come on out guys.” Pua said.
“I don’t think this is a joke.” Jorgito said.
“Right you are. This is no longer a fantasy. Your worlds are about to collide and become one.” The voice said.
“Who are you?” Adam demanded.
“I am your destiny.” The voice said as a figure appeared. It was an angelic looking creature.
“Destiny? Ok where have I heard that before? Oh yes, ‘Shane’s Karma Part 2’…you gave yourself away.” Pua said.
“There is much I have yet to tell you. Where do you think fantasy comes from? It’s from the things that we choose not to believe because it is not ‘normal’. And sometimes there comes a time that fantasy must become a reality. People use to have fantasies of walking on the moon…now people have done so. Just as now…for years people have fantasized about being a Power Ranger…and now will be so.” The being said.
“Power Rangers? Um…are you a fan?” Adam asked.
“No Adam…you don’t understand.” The being snapped her fingers and morphed the actors into real Power Rangers.
“Ok right…this can’t be real.” Sally said.
“Oh but it is. Adam, you will control the power of the Red Ranger. Sally, you will be the Pink Ranger. Jorgito, you will be the Black Ranger. Jason, the Blue Ranger power will be yours. Pua, the power of the Green Ranger will be yours. And Glenn, you will be the Yellow Ranger.” The being said.
“Hey why does he get his show color?” Pua asked as he wanted to be the Red Ranger.
“Yeah I don’t know that pink is my color. I kinda liked the female Blue Ranger thing.” Sally said.
“Rangers, this isn’t fantasy anymore…this is real life. You will keep the colors as I assigned them. It is not the color that is important but how you use your powers.” The being said.
“Ok fine. So what Zords do we have?” Adam asked.
“Zords are only a last resort. They cause much destruction and as I keep reminding you, this is real life. Damage must be cleaned and people can be hurt. You may never get Zords…if we are lucky.” The being said.
“Yeah…right…so do you have a name?” Sally asked.
“You may refer to me simply as Angel.” The being said.
“I don’t believe my eyes. I must be dreaming.” Jason said.
“So what exactly are we fighting?” Glenn asked.
“Aron. He is from and outer dimension and is set on turning humans against each other so he can destroy the world.” Angel said.
“Oh my god…now I know I’m dreaming.” Pua said.
“You are not.” Angel said as they felt a blast outside, “Rangers, time is running out. Do you accept this mission?”

The six cast mates looked at each other trying to decide if this was for real or a really weird dream…

sounds great.... I suggest you continue it... I can't wait to read the next instalment, although when I heard the words "Real fiction" I thought you were writing fiction that was based on real life, and completely nothing about fantasy.

But this is better than what I expected. Good work!

[Sparky Ranger]

Agreed. Crappy subject header. Great fic.

[PurpleWindRangr]

[PurpleWindRangr]

Thanks for the feedback...here's part two

"Real Fiction Part 2"

After a few minutes Adam finally spoke up. “I can’t speak for everyone but I’m in…assuming this is real.” He said.
“We’re all in” Sally said.
“We are?” Pua asked.
“We are.” Sally said.
“I’m not.” Glenn said.”
“And why not?” Sally asked.
“Because this is crazy!” Glenn said.
“Right…it’s obviously a dream one of us is having so we may as well have fun with it.” Sally said.
“Hmmm…you have a point Sal…ok I’m in.” Glenn said.
“Very well Rangers. Here are your morphers. Unlike TV land you must keep these kidded. They are a dead give away of your powers.” Angel said.
“These look a lot like the handheld morphers in season 1.” Adam said.
“Yes Adam, except these really work.” Angel said.
“Ok so what’s the morphing call?” Jason asked.
“There isn’t one set one. They are voice activated so pick a call. Trivial things such as that are of no concern to me.” Angel said.
“Ok so how about we use the original Power Ranger call?” Adam said.
“What is that?” Jason asked.
“It’s morphin time.” Adam said.
“Oh, yeah! I always wanted to be Kimberly when I was younger. This might be pretty cool after all.” Sally said.
“Um…correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t the original Yellow Ranger a girl?” Glenn asked.
“Yeah.” Sally said.
“Oh man…”Glenn said.
Pua laughed, “I guess some things are worse that being green.”
“Rangers you must go now. Aron has sent an army of beings called Troopers to the out skirts of New York City.” Angel said.
“Um…hello…Troopers in United States…Rangers in New Zealand.” Sally said.
“Yeah, that might be a problem.” Jorgito said.
“You don’t really think Aron will keep his attacks in one place do you? This isn’t TV, he will attack all over and so you must teleport to get there.” Angel said.
“Oh of course. Teleport, now why didn’t I think of that?” Glenn said
“Yeah this is nothing like TV…” Adam said.
“Go now Rangers.” Angel said.
“Alright, alright…” Adam said, “Since I’m Red guess that means I’m leader”
“Whatever” Pua said.
“So, let’s do it…It’s morphin’ time!” Adam called.

Next thing the friends knew they were on the out skirts of New York City, United State facing an army of creatures which were grey and appeared to have gas masks on.
“Wow, didn’t even need a passport.” Glenn said.
“So these must be the troopers.” Sally said.
“What was your first guess?” Jorgito replied.
“What exactly do we do? We only play Rangers on TV...not like we know what to do.” Pua said.
“Well then, think like Shane…what would he do?” Jason asked.
“I don’t know! I don’t write his lines!” Pua retorted.
“Ok guys come on, lets just fight. We all know how…it’s just like TV except for the stunt doubles.” Adam said.
“And the sentai footage…” Glenn added.
“This is real…let’s make it count.” Adam said.
“Alright…right…split up.” Sally said.

Glenn took on 3 of the Troopers. “OK…Dustin, think Dustin…yeah right…now isn’t the time for one-liners.” He said taking a deep breath and trying to keep the troopers at bay. “Keep away from the Yellow guy…” Glenn said as he was picked up and thrown.

Meanwhile Pua wasn’t haven’t much better luck. “What would Shane do? I know…Ninja Air Attack!” he called…of course it didn’t work.
“Um, Pua…you’re not a Wind Ranger…this isn’t TV.” Jason said as he took out one of the troopers.

Sally had two Troopers to take out. “Ok you guys are going down.” She said fighting them back. She held them for a while before they knocked her down.

“Sally!” Adam and Jorgito called out. They had their own set of Troopers to take out. Adam did fairly well at holding them back but in the end all the Rangers were down.

“Great what now?” Glenn asked as they heard Angel’s voice.
“Rangers…use your laser guns.” She said as the Rangers noticed for the first time that they has weapons at their side.
“There are only lasers.” Pua said.
“But it’s all we have.” Sally said as they began to fire the lasers.
After a few minutes they had taken out the Troopers.
“Wow…” Jorgito said.
“Not bad…” Adam said as they began to teleport again.
“Oh no, not again…” Glenn said as they disappeared.

Seconds later they rematerialized back in New Zealand.
“Good work Rangers” Angel said.
“Yeah…thanks” Adam said.
“Now you must travel to Los Angeles, California where Aron has made his base. If we do not take him out soon we may not get another chance later.” Angel said.
“Um…doesn’t the mega battle happen after 30-40 other battles?” Pua asked.
“Only on TV Pua…this is real…if we don’t take out Aron now the world will incur much damage.” Angel said.
“We? What is this we? I don’t see you out there fighting Aron and the Troopers.” Glenn said.
“This isn’t the time Glenn…lets just get this over with.” Jason said.
“Yeah…let’s go…” Adam said.
“Here we go again…” Sally said as the friends were teleported to LA.
