Power Rangers: Super Delta
Chapter 1:
"A Real Live Ranger"
--------------------------------------------
Hi. This is Joe. You might know me as tommysbiggestfan (TBF for short) from RangerBoard. I'm here to tell you about the very weirdest experience I've ever had: being the Black Super Delta Power Ranger. But I'm getting ahead of myself, so let me explain....
It was about 3:30 PM, Wednesday, June 15th. I'd just gotten back from the Wal-Mart Supercenter, with my new Patrol Morpher. I was bored, so I logged onto Rangerboard. I made a few posts in places like the June Caption Thread, PYOPA, Word Game 2, that kind of stuff. Then I noticed that I had a new PM. "I wonder what it is," I thought, and clicked into my Inbox.
The new PM was from a member I'd never heard of before, called The Ultimate Power. I ran a quick check through the Members List. He wasn't there. Interesting.
I clicked on the Private Message from the unknown user. It read,
Dear Joe, aka tommysbiggestfan,
You have been chosen to become a real life Power Ranger. You will have to
I stopped there. This 'Ultimate Power' guy was nuts. How could I become a real Ranger? First, all Power Rangers is is a TV show, or as some people say, a 22 minute toy commercial. Second, I was 12 years old. Even if Rangers actually existed, I would have to pull a 'Justin', and age about seven years to be the right size when morphed. That was impossible. I decided to continue reading, just to see how crazy this guy was.
You will have to choose 2 other members of your team, and battle a great evil that no-one, not even I, can identify.
(Me: Well, duh. You're an old crackpot who thinks Power Rangers is real.)
You will be the leader of your team, as the Black Ranger. Take out your Patrol Morpher, which is on your belt right now. Hold it out to the screen, and reply to this message with 'I accept.', if you feel you can do it.
I thought, 'What the heck?' I held out my Patrol Morpher, and replied to his PM as he told me to.
As soon as I clicked the 'Reply' button, I felt a vibrating numbness that I had felt once before. It was electrocution.
After exactly ten seconds, the shock stopped. I looked at my now-smoking Patrol Morpher. The 'P' in 'SPD' was burnt out. I opened the morpher to Change Mode, and saw something else strange. The SPD badge was different, too. The word 'Police' was burnt out .
The buttons of the cell phone pad were changed too. I examined them, then pushed one. It made a tone like a real phone. I gasped, and quickly hit the 'cancel' button. I had a real cell phone.
I closed the morpher, and then put it into 'Judgement Mode'. I could see instantly that it had lights in the 'X' and 'O', and guessed it would probably function like it did in the show too. I closed the morpher again, and noticed another thing: the power switch was gone.
I looked at the computer screen, and saw I had a new PM from The Ultimate Power again. I entered it, and read:
Dear Joe,
You have now discovered I was not joking. To morph, all you must do is hold the morpher horizontally, say "Super Delta", then turn it 90 degrees, and continue with "Black Ranger". Of course, you will need it in Change mode.
I decided to try it. I stood up, pulled out the Patrol Morpher, and holding it horizontally, called out, "Super Delta," then, while turning it into a vertical position, "Black Ranger!" I pushed the button.
There was a bang, then suddenly I could only see black, feel myself being covered with something. I looked down, and, to my absolute surprise, saw my legs covered in black spandex.
I said to myself, "This is awesome. I'm a Power Ranger."
Suddenly, I heard the sound of knocking at my door. In a rush, I gasped, "Power down, power down, power down!" It worked, and I basically ran to the door, dodging the various Power Rangers toys on the floor.
I unlocked and opened the door, to my sister Ginger. She said, "I need to go through your room. Bob's in the shower." (Our parents are divorced, and Bob is our mom's boyfriend.)
"Fine," I replied. "Just hurry up."
As soon as she was through, I locked the back door into my room between Ginger's room and the bathroom. I then shut down my computer and walked out the room. I called to my mom as I walked outside, "Hey Mom, I'll be in the back yard."
As I walked down the hill to the river from the back yard, I morphed, and looked into the river for my reflection. I noticed that my suit was based mainly on Shadow Ranger's, but recolred to a red and gold color scheme. That wasn't much of a surprise because of my using a Patrol Morpher. I saw that instead of the armor on Shadow Ranger's forelegs, I had standard S.P.D. boots, but colored gold with a red stripe. My eyepiece was a black version of Trent's from Dino Thunder. Also, the 'horns' (Doggie Krueger's ear space) were colored red. And one other detail essential to add: I'd pulled what I call a 'Justin', so I had grown probably about a foot.
My weapons, were, to my surprise, gold versions of my two toy lightsabers. I pulled them out, and activated them. Sure enough, they had black blades, but red glow around them instead of purple. I decided to see how powerful they were. I tapped one against my arm, and felt a slight burn. I knew that it was much stronger, because the suit would protect me from most of the damage. I touched a blade to the water, and saw steam rise up. So the blade was atleast 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Suddenly, I heard Mom calling, "Joe, we're going to the dollar store! You coming?"
"Yeah!" I called back, then demorphed and jumped into the van.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
About half an hour later, we came home, me with an entire pack of Skittles packed into my mouth, disabling my speech. I motioned that I was going to the back yard again.
I swallowed my Skittles, morphed, and did a bit of fight practice. My skills were greatly heightened, but essentially the same style. I could move faster, hit harder, slice faster, jump higher and farther, and keep amazing balance on my kicks, where I usually fall over when doing a spin kick.
I stopped to rest, and looked down the river. I saw a couple guys messing around. Or so it looked like. I decided if they were doing something wrong, it'd be a good time to test my Ranger skills. I began walking slowly towards them, being cautious not to be seen. When I got close enough, I noticed that it was some kind of mugging. Why it was happening here in Watertown, I had no idea.
"Super Delta, Black Ranger!" I said, and walked right into the view of the mugger.
"What the Hell?" the man said, dropping his victim, who ran. "Hey, your a... a... Power Ranger! Yeah! My.....uh.... kid watches that!" The man was obviously drunk.
"Yeah, and your about to know how we work," I said heroicly. I charged at him, and unleashed a devastating punch. Somehow he dodged, most likely by collapsing from drunkeness. Anyways, he got back up while I pondered how he dodged. I pulled out my Anakin-model lightsaber, and activated it. I swung it at the guy's arm. He had an instant burn. I got his other arm, then deactivated the lightsaber.
I pulled out my Patrol Morpher, and said, "Judgement Time, mister." I activated Judgement Mode, and read off his charges. "You are charged with public intoxication and assault. And the reading is," I paused, while I waited for the morpher's verdict.
"Guilty." I then switched it to the cell phone, and ended my call. See, I had recorded my capture of the drunken man on a call to the police, so they had (most of) the details. I had also reported my location.
I chose to get out of there to avoid questioning. Plus, it was about time for supper. And I had confidential information that it was going to be delicious.
