REVIEW!


The morning routine was always the same for Jared, get up, get ready to school, go to school and hear boring lessons and lectures... Jared didn't pay attention to most of the teachers. He was an artist. Give him a textbook, and he'd flip through the pages lost... but give him a paintbrush and some paint, and he's make the most brilliant painting for you.

Thats who he was, Jared the painter... but no one understood that. They all thought he was just some bad, popular guy... even Ivory. He was a Blue Ranger afterall, second-in-command and everything! He was the duct tape holding the team together... and Jared was a calm and collective guy, he never wished to get angry... ever.

However, humans aren't perfect, and even Jared has the right to be angry as well. He was currently at home, with his best friends, and they were all doing what they did best.

Rana was a musician, knowing how to play several instruments, and of course she was the original 'tough chick' of the team, and still is. Amy is like a fashion designer, she loved everything about clothes and fashion and even forced Ian and Carter to model for her. Carter, he was the video game geek, and the best damn one at it... there wasn't a game Carter hadn't hacked or beaten in less than a day. Ian, he was all- fight- no- fun, being a Karate master and all... no one could beat him in a fight one- on- one... humans, that is. Steven, the techie. He programmed their morphers and worked daily behind a computer trying to show them how to enhance their powers, made repairs to zords in a scientific way Jared couldn't explain. And then there was Ivory, the nerd... haha, that would be a mean thing to say, lets just say she's really smart, and yes, she has a short temper, but she also calms down pretty fast.

He just looked at them once... everyone was there, doing their thing. Rana playing her acoustic guitar, Amy holding up two blotches of fabric trying to see which was better, Carter firing his pixel guns in COD: Black Ops, Ian was just whacking air with a wooden staff, Steven was randomly typing codes away into his Laptop, and Ivory was reading out of a large French textbook, making flash cards.

He looked back at the empty canvas, what would he draw? He closed his eyes, allowing his paintbrush glide across the blank space in front of him. After painting for what seemed like forever, he opened his eyes and looked at the canvas. It was some sort of... door. It was one of those medieval double doors, a large white orb of energy as the door knob.

"What the heck?" Amy asked. They all stopped what they were doing to see what he had painted; "What is that?"

"I don't know..." Jared said softly, confusedly staring at his art; "I've never seen it before in my life."

"Maybe it doesn't exist?" Carter said hopefully.

"But it looks so real..." Rana trailed off.

"Jared's the Guardian of Water." Ivory stated; "He's able to make predictions. Perhaps this is something he'll see in the future."

"And you know this...?" Steven asked her.

"I know about our powers." Ivory shrugged; "Rana can heal, Amy can change peoples' emotions, Ian can read thoughts, Carter can stop time for short periods, Steven can detect energy sources and I can create portals leading me to anywhere at any time."

"How did you know about my empathy?" Amy asked eyes- wide.

"It happened to our parents too." Ivory answered; "So I had them tell me."

"But what does this mean?" Jared asked her, pointing to the painting.

"I... have no clue." Ivory answered. She walked forward to the canvas, and tried touching it, before being flung backwards several feet. She jumped to her feet, staring at her friends; "Its a dimmensional portal, and since Jared drew it, he's the only one who can access it."

"You mean he has to..." Amy trailed off.

Jared had to admit it, curiosity sucked. He just nodded before walking closer to the painting and touching it, being pulled inside and closing his eyes shut as he felt the land and space around him being warped dangerously. A blinding light was pulsing through his eyelids, and they fluttered open, he was now standing, face- to- face to the mysterious door in his painting. He gaped at it, it was so... beautiful, even in a man's perspective. The bright white orb seemed to glow as Jared approached it slowly. He didn't know if he was supposed to touch it or anything, but there was a feeling... like he just had to reach out and turn the doorknob, and so he did.

Upon contact the door also began to glow a blinding white and Jared stepped away. The door turned into a wall of water, and the water quickly drained out. It was a medieval- themed room with big glass windows and a long table with about 8 chairs around it. There was a giant computer on one side, and a small area filled with training dummies and stuff used in training.

"What is this?" Jared thought aloud.

"All Power Ranger teams need a secret Headquarters." A voice said from behind.

"Who are you?" Jared demanded, spining to the voice, but he bit back his words. There in front of him was a spirit which wore white from head to toe.

"I am Laura." She said, she had the voice echoeing a thousand angels, and her face contained more beauty than of any human; "The first, Guardian, the Guardian of Light. And you are Jared, current Blue Ranger."

Jared nodded, taking a look at his surroundings; "What is this place?"

"Like I said, all Ranger teams need a secret hideout." Laura repeated; "I've been keeping an eye on you six, you bounce from house to house. So, I've created your own little dimension. It works as your headquarters and as an escape when you need to get away from the other world."

"But when our Red tried coming through... she was flung back." Jared remembered.

"You had to be the first to enter." Laura answered with a shrug; "I dunno why, I just made it that way."

"But if the portal's in a painting..." Jared trailed off.

"Keep the painting in your possession at all times." Laura answered; "And keep it safe, it is your only gateway into this dimension, without it, this dimension shall be sealed for ever."

"And how do I get out?" Jared questioned.

"Just leave through the door and shut it behind you." Laura instructed, and Jared did so.


"Fire isn't working against this thing!" Ivory shouted. The five Rangers, minus Jared, were battling a ant-shaped monster named Freiyn who battled using the element of Fire, so none of them were fit against him, not even Ivory since fire does not beat fire.

"It's time to fire it up!" Freiyn shouted, blasting all of them backwards. They landed with a thud and were close to demorphing.

"Hey fire bug!" A voice said from behind the monster. Everyone turned to see the Blue Ranger ready to attack, crossbow and water bolts ready.

"Go Jared!" Carter called, and Ian thumped him on the back of his head.

"Time for you to get a piece of my mind." Jared said dangerously. He charged at the monster, firing water bolts here and there. He suddenly dropped the crossbow as he neared Freiyn and took out his Guardian Sword, slashing the monster away, his attack like a bomb of water hitting Freiyn. He ran to the rest of the other Rangers, helping Ian and Carter both onto their feet, as the girls helped each other.

"Thanks for showing up." Rana told him, still panting from the pain of the battle.

"Guys, its time to finish this thing." Ivory told them stiffly; "Put all our weapons together to make the Elemental Blaster."

"That's a stupid name." Ian told her.

"We'll think of one later." Jared told him hurriedly, as Freiyn climbed to his feet. So they put their weapons together, forming the blaster.

"Jared, I want you to fire it." Ivory told him, smiling sincerely.

Jared nodded, hiding his own smile. As he pulled the trigger, a giant blue ball of water pulsing with electricity was sent out of the blaster, and it hit Freiyn directly.

Ninchu growled from where she was observing the battle from a safe distance away; "Another one!" The monster the Rangers were just battling grew, taller and wider than a Skyscraper.

With one look to each other, the Rangers nodded, jumping into their zords and formed the Megazord.

"You wanna lead this one?" Ivory asked Jared.

Jared nodded once more; "Coral Crossbow!" He fired the weapon at the giant ant, who wasn't fast enough to dodge the attacks and flew backwards.

Freiyn got back to his feet, blasting at them with a giant fireball. Jared countered by sending water right back, and the fire dissolved as the water kept going, drenching the monster.

"Amy," Jared said loudly, the Pink Ranger turning in his direction; "Water and Ice are practically the same, help me with him."

"You got it!" Amy nodded. Blasts of ice and water were mixed and were thrown at Freiyn. The monster didn't last, and was blown to pieces.

"Another win for the Guardian Rangers!" Rana chimed in.

Ivory only nodded at the Blue Ranger and changed subjects; "Well, lets go, I have a French test to study for."

"Actually, there's something you guys have to see." Jared told his team, and they stared at him confused.


"You're saying this place is ours?" Rana asked, taking one look at their Headquarters. She walked to the long table, taking a seat on the chair which had the symbol for Air.

"Yes." an angelic voice answered, and the Rangers turned to see a spirit. Ivory and Jared were the only ones who knew who she was but Jared didn't know they were supposed to bow the way Ivory did when she saw the spirit. Laura smiled at them; "Guardian Rangers, welcome to your home-away-from-home."

"Thank you Mother Spirit." Ivory smiled; "For making this for us."

"Kiss ass." Carter told her, but he also bowed at Laura; "But thank you."

"This computer system is wicked." Steven said, gaping at the computer; "How did you get it set up."

"Well she is an all powerful Guardian." Amy reminded him.

"I like that answer." Laura agreed.

"The training area is amazing too." Ian nodded.

"No offense you guys, but don't you think we should get back to the real world?" Ivory asked them; "Dinner's is in an hour and I still haven't finished studying."

"And I need to practice my guitar." Rana added.

"Rangers." Laura said to them, and they stopped speaking; "All of your things can be stored in here, so where ever you are, you can still come in here and continue."

"Yeah, we'll bring them the next time." Ian nodded to her.

"Then for now, farewell." Laura nodded, disappearing.
