Chapter 1

A boring day in southern California until the news reported a meteorite crashing down and starting a fire. The Brady kids, as they were popularly known, wanted to get near the disaster area for it's excitement. They had no idea being so close would be more important than that.

The 6 Brady kids were simply talking over the novelty of a meteorite crash when each felt a strong pull and were taken from the area. They were surprised to land inside a sophisticated structure they would call the Command Center.

A robot-like machine, roughly Bobby's height, approached and identified itself as Alpha-5. Then, the gaze of each was drawn to a plasma tube and a giant floating head, who called himself Zordon.

"GREETINGS, BRADY KIDS!" boomed the voice of the being.

Not knowing how to respond, they made a standard greeting; then they took to exploring, not guessing that the science of the Command Center was ahead of the outside world by almost a century, and that didn't include the teleport science. Alpha began to tell them where they were, including some info about Zordon.

"IT IS TIME TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU WERE BROUGHT HERE, AND ABOUT THE THREAT FACING EARTH WHICH MAY MEAN ITS END!" boomed Zordon. "AND WHY YOU WERE SELECTED TO FIGHT THIS EVIL."

Evil? That caught their attention.

"FIRST, TO ASSIGN YOUR POWERS." boomed Zordon. "GREG. AS OLDEST YOU WILL BE THE LEADER AND WILL BE THE RED RANGER."Greg was amazed to find himself wearing a red and white costume. "MARCIA, YOU WILL BE THE GREEN RANGER." Marcia's uniform differed from her brother's as his had red diamonds accenting his white boots and gloves while her's had green triangles. Also she had a golden shield over most of her upper body.

"PETER, YOU WILL BE THE BLUE RANGER. JAN, YOU WILL SERVE AS THE BLACK RANGER." Again, they had similar uniforms, with the main difference in color. Peter had a white torso covering with blue sleeves and loose blue gloves with a gold border and a gold belt at his waist. He had blue bottoms and blue boots with a blue border at the top. His helmet was blue; it also had a gold laminate design on the face. Jan's uniform was black, and her white top extended into a short skirt below the belt. It also had a different laminate in the face.

"BOBBY, YOU ARE TO RECEIVE THE POWERS OF THE PURPLE RANGER. CINDY, THE POWERS OF THE YELLOW RANGER ARE YOUR'S TO BEAR." Again a marked difference from the others which prompted the question from Peter, "Zordon, why are the uniforms so different?" Bobby and Cindy wore similar uniforms, each with short boots topped with a black-and-white band, as well as a small black lightning bolt and a short sword on the back and a faceless helmet with a dark visor, the only difference being Bobby's uniform was purple and Cindy wore yellow.

"GREG AND MARCIA, YOU DRAW YOUR POWERS FROM THE FIRST LEVEL OF THE MORPHIN GRID: THE DINOSAUR LEVEL WHICH REPRESENTS THE BODY; PETER AND JAN, YOU DRAW YOUR POWERS FROM THE THUNDER LEVEL WHICH REPRESENTS THE MIND; AND BOBBY AND CINDY, YOUR POWERS COME FROM THE NINJA LEVEL WHICH REPRESENTS THE SPIRIT."

Jan and Peter studied the wrist-mounted transformation devices, while Bobby and Cindy simply held their transformation tools. The six of them looked at each other as Zordon asked if they would take the responsibility of being Rangers After a few moments, they all agreed. Then Zordon began to brief them on the threat that required Rangers.
