Just letting you guys know that I normally write fight scenes with a specific song in mind, so the first one here is Supergirl by Krystal! Enjoy!

Fire was raining from the sky.

I'm not talking metaphorical fireworks fire; I'm talking apocalypse-raining hell fire. But that wasn't all; the fireballs were forming, taking a sick shape and forcing their matter into that of a humanoid form, Meteor Riders. The Riders that touched the ground slowly started to lose fire, except for their hands. Unless you put them out, their hands are always flaming. There were ten of them and they all landed nice and neat on the football field, sending everyone in sight into a panic.

Never had I wished that Etoile found more Rangers than at that moment, training a leader separately made some sense up until the villain arrives to Earth before we have a chance to find more for her to lead.

I slid away from the spirit assembly at the football field, but by that point it was just more mass panic than anything else. The whole school was required to be there too, all one thousand kids plus a few dozen teachers made for a good batch of chaos that no one could easily control. It also made getting away unnoticed that much easier, I wasn't called out by anyone, teacher or student, as I slipped into the locker room right under the bleachers.

When I was sure that no one was around I held my ordinary looking Mayan necklace, until it changed form, into a Taurus pendant. I put my hands on its sides.

"Align the Stars!" I shouted my morphing call, extending my arms forward, the spirit of my pendant coming out with them. "Silver Taurus Ranger!" The familiar metamorphosis took over as the uniform came over me, a shining silver spandex suit with a white vest-like area and green accents around it and the tops of my white gloves and boots, complete with skirt. Then the final piece, my helmet. Also silver, except for the dark grey outline of my symbol and the black eye pieces under the horns. The morph always felt like a lifetime, but in reality only took a few seconds.

I sprinted out of the locker room and jumped over the mass of people, knowing I had their attention and almost calmed them down. "Get out of here!" I shouted at them. Those days just the presence of a Ranger made people feel more at ease. You see a girl in a spandex suit and automatically you know she can handle the situation. Right. They just didn't know that I hadn't ever exactly fought a real villain's henchmen monster thing before.

I may have had the attention of the crowd, but not the Rider, which was a problem. "Hey! Meteor Fuckers!" I called. Now I had their attention. "Tell the Universal it's going to take a lot more than a rain of stupid to take over the Earth!" And with that I leapt into battle with them, just like Etoile taught me. Step one: stop the fire on their hands. I wasn't a fire user so I couldn't just fight them without getting burned. But as an earth user it was easy to "clap" out the fire. So I did, I summoned rocks from the ground right by the Meteor Riders' hands then clapped mine together, crushing their hands and putting out the fire. Step two: attack. "Bull staff!" I summoned. Its energy coat was the only way I know to destroy a Meteor Rider. I hopped the fence and began to take on two of the Riders. The only real advantage that they had was the fire hands, but after you get rid of them they're no more than just silly Putty Patrollers. I stuck the killing blow to the both of them and they exploded into ash.

I looked to attack the others when I noticed five others fighting them as well. I guess they rushed onto the field when I clapped out the Riders. I took a running start and used my staff as a pole volt, going to help out Anna, a small freshman on the volleyball team with me who was surrounded by three of them. The other four were each fighting one, except for Patrick, a boy my age who was taking on two, rather well, that son of a bitch. He must have seen me hit the Riders with the staff, destroying them because when he saw me watching him he called, "Give me the stick!"

I tossed it, calling back, "It's a staff!" I heard him call 'Whatever' to me as I ran over to Klaus, a student who moved from Germany two years ago, who despite being a strong guy didn't know how to fight all that well. He gladly got out of the way, I don't really know why he was there in the first place, any of them for that matter.

As I continued basically waiting for my staff, stalling with that Rider Klaus asked me, "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter!" I told him. I slammed my foot down and a part of the ground rose up right were the Meteor Rider was standing, launching it to the other side of the field where no one was. I ran over to Laura, one of my best friends who was a senior, barely five feet tall but kicking Rider ass. I did the same to her Rider, then ran over to Felicia and did the same. I saw Patrick successfully got rid of his Riders too, so I ran, flipped over him, snatching my staff from his hands and called, "Silver Bull blast!" and a giant burst of light came out of it turning the three Meteor Riders to ash.

I was barely able to catch my breath before a wave of questions came to me in the form of five teenagers who just risked their lives to save others.

"Who are you?" "What were those things?" "Is someone going to attack the Earth?" "Does this mean we'll finally have Power Rangers in Mt. Lebanon?"

Using a voice much deeper than how I normally talked, my Batman voice, I answered all of them. I turned to Anna, "I can't say." Then to Felicia, "Meteor Riders." To Klaus, "Yes, but I'm going to be doing my best to stop it." Finally Laura, "So it would seem, kid." For kicks I went to Patrick. "Anything you'd like to say?"

"Cool stick." Was his only reply.

"Staff." I addressed them all as a group and said, "Thank you citizens for helping me, hopefully the team will be assembled before the next attack."

Suddenly, a hologram appeared over our heads with a crack of lightning and thunder, in it a light blue skinned bald man with flaming red eyes and a black mouth: the Universal. "Citizens of Earth" he rasped "You seem to think that you can challenge me with this tiny defense team. The last time one of your pathetic Power Ranger teams took me on it was of twelve members and I was only delayed for a thousand years. Now you think you can destroy me with six? Clearly your race is stupider than all others , as if it were possible. No matter, your race will make a grand addition to my slave catalogue. Give up now earthlings, it will be much easier before you have to lose lives." He faded out with a cackle, truly a timed villain.

"Well, like I was saying, thank you guys, but I really must be going now."

"Wait." Patrick said. "I do have a question. Where is the rest of your team?"

"You're looking at it. Just me myself and I. Currently."

"But he said six. He thinks that we're Rangers."

"Yeah well somehow idiots can manage to take over parts of the universe. They see someone doing good and can't imagine them fighting to just keep people safe, they can't imagine the kindness of your hearts. So naturally you must have been roped into being Rangers." With that I grabbed my green belt buckle and teleported back to the Star Chamber. My teleportation was simple, just a pulse of silver light that blinded the civilians. Then when it faded I was gone with it, taken to the Star Chamber, the Zodiac Power Ranger headquarters, names so because it is literally made of stars, its own pocket universe. The stars created the power an eternity ago and along with the powers themselves they made the Chamber, and Etoile, my mentor. She was a beautiful seven foot tall women with dark royal blue skin and stars dusting all over her body.

Not in the presence of normal humans anymore I powered down, reveling my 5'7" frame complete with ripped jeans and a grey union jack shirt. These days I was prone to silver and grey a lot more than before, homage to my uniform. My brunette hair that was just touching past my shoulders was matted to my neck. "Why didn't you warn me they were coming early? You must have known!" I asked.

Three billion voices responded, "Worry not little bull." Then Etoile came out of the stars, materializing on the large platform in front of me. "Those Meteor Riders were nothing more than the ones you have been facing for months. We had wanted to see how you would fair in a real danger situation. Simulations in the Star Chamber only do so much."

One would think that I would be angry with this, because she lied to me and what not. But Etoile is literally the conscious embodiment of the stars, it's understandable that she doesn't get earth customs like honesty and telling a girl before she sends lethal evil beings to attack the girl. "And how did I do?"

"You did wonderfully, we couldn't be more proud." She beamed. "And the others di-"

"Others?" I interrupted.

"Yes, the others who were fighting with you. That was the second objective of the attack. The time has come to train the rest of your team."

I nodded. "When?"

"As soon as possible, now. We would suggest morphing again as to not shock your classmates too much."

I agreed. "Align the Stars! Silver Taurus Rangers!" With that I was back in my uniform.

"Are you ready little bull?" She asked me, and I nodded again. Etoile's eyes glowed brighter than they already were, signaling that she was pulling someone from their current state, teleporting them. Six bright lights appeared in the room, pink, yellow, white, black, gold and purple.

"But Etoile," I protested using the same voice I used when talking to them before. "there were only five fighting with me."

"Patience Taurus," was her reply, "physically fighting evil is not everything being a Power Ranger is about."

The lights all dimmed, then disappeared to reveal six mystified looking teenagers. Felicia, Laura, Patrick, Klaus, JT who didn't fight, and Anna. Each of them were feeling scared really. They had no idea what was going on. I couldn't blame them, teleporting for the first time is actually one of the worst experiences I remember.

"Greetings Earthlings, we are Etoile and this is our Star Chamber. You have been summoned here because we ask of you the honorable burden, to become Power Rangers. Come forward, and accept your destiny.

"Felicia, born under the twins, with the incite of two, you are the Pink Gemini Ranger." Her light captured her again and she was engulfed in her suit, like mine but pink with a gold belt buckle and accents. Her helmet was her symbol in grey with the eyepieces outside of the center bars and her mouth was outlined directly under the lowest bar. "You have the power of the air at your side, and a set of Twin daggers.

"Laura, born unto the innocent, with the trust of youth, you are the Yellow Virgo Ranger." Her outfit was exactly like mine but yellow. On her helmet, her eyepieces were in between the 'm' part of her grey symbol and the swoosh of it wrapped under her mouth outline. "You like Taurus command the earth, with the assistance of your Virgo whip.

"Daniel, born to justice, with the moral code of the scales, you are the White Libra Ranger." He was the first male Power Ranger and for the most part his uniform was like ours, sans the skirt of course, along with his belt buckle and accents being the same gold as Felicia. On his helmet, he mouth was outlined around the bottom bar, and his eyes outside either of the edges of the scales. "You and the Gemini are bonded in the ways of the air, you have the Balanced throwing stars to assist you in the fight against evil. In addition you are also the second in command of the team to Taurus." Shit, he wasn't going to like that when he found out who I was.

"Klaus, born in the bow of the Archer, with the eye of adventure you are the Black Sagittarius Ranger." His black costume materialized, complete with red belt and accents and his eyes were in the arrow that was his sign. "You are the first welder of fire, with the grace of the Archer's bow to aid you.

"Joseph, you saw that enough were already fighting the Meteor Riders before you had the chance so you went and assisted the crowd, leading them away from the mayhem. We cannot all be offensive in our pursuits to save the world, it also takes those who will guide civilians to make this team work. Born to the water-carrier, with the selflessness of the basin he carries, you are the Gold Aquarius Ranger." His belt and accents matched his suit exactly and his visor of his helmet was in between the two squiggles of his symbol. "You are the third and final as well as the principle air user of the Power Ranger team, use your Aquari-jar of explosives to help you.

"And finally, little Anna, born to the conflicting fish, with the cunning to swim upstream, you are the Purple Pisces Ranger." It was not an innocent lilac like any of us would have expected, but a deep plum that Anna was now wrapped in. The royal blue belt and accents were a nice contrast to it as well. The centerline of her symbol was her visor, outlined in grey. "You are the first of the water users, and shall have the Fin slicers on your wrists."

"We will leave you now, talk as a team, know each other." She faded into the oblivion behind her leaving us seven teenagers here.

No one said anything for several minutes, so as the leader I took the first step, "You guys know the helmets have clasps on them, you can take them off and still be in uniform. Or if you want to power down just think it and say power down, it is another rank thing, so as long as someone of higher rank says it, then you just loose the power too."

After they all powered down individually, Laura demanded, "Look, I'm like the fiftieth person to ask you this today, but who are you? Shouldn't we know now?"

"Here, I have a new addition to your wardrobes," I ignored her question, and got their necklaces from the platform "a necklace with your symbol on it. It is expected of us to wear them at all times as they allow you telepathic connections with the team, teleportation, and are your gateway to morphing. However, if you aren't wearing it, it will chime if someone else on the team or Etoile is trying to reach you." I handed them to everyone in order, Felicia's pillar like symbol with a pink gem in the center. Laura's curvy 'm' like symbol had yellow gems under the arches and in the loop. Patrick's scales had a brilliant diamond-looking gem at the center of the scales. Klaus's was more interesting. Because there wasn't really anything in the middle of it, his gem was around the whole arrow, outlining it. JT's pendent had actual gold, or space gold, I'm still not sure on the details, in between the two waves of his symbol. And finally Anna's had her perfect plum colored gem on top and under the center bar of her symbol.

They almost ignored the necklaces and tried to stare right through my uniform to find out my identity. I couldn't hide from them forever. "Look, I'm not going to tell you guys who I am today. You've had a lot to take in and if you were to turn down being a Ranger I wouldn't want to reveal that to you, no offence."

"Turn it down?" Felicia interjected. "You mean we don't have to be Rangers?"

"You don't have to be, it is your destiny but as people are always able to prove, destiny is not set in stone." I chuckled at my pun, but everyone just continued to look at me. "You know, set in stone, I'm an earth user, my destiny is technically set in stone? No? Okay, tough crowd. Anyways, you are the best fit to make up this team, but if you really don't want to then we could find a way to either make your position not required or just get someone lesser."

"Why does that mean that we can't know who you are though?" JT asked.

"Look at the people around you. They are going to be the only ones to know that you turned down being a Power Ranger. Not a lot of them, but still they would know that you couldn't live up to your destiny and you would have to see them in the halls all the time. Wouldn't you feel a little shame? Now imagine you know your would-be leader's face. The one who might as well have hand picked you for this, could you see me every day at school? Have classes with me? No offense, but I doubt it. So I'm going to be anonymous for the day. You guys get tonight and all of tomorrow to think about being a Ranger and we'll meet after school in Bird Park."

"Where?" Patrick asked, "It's a big park."

"That's another test." I smiled, "I want to see how good your instincts are at recognizing our power." There was a pause, then they all touched their necklaces and teleported out of the Star Chamber.

"Why did you not tell them your identity little bull?" Etoile asked, once again coming from the void of stars.

"Patrick" was my only reply. "We have a bad history, and I felt like he wasn't going to react too kindly to my being the leader of the team. He may have turned it down just because of that. This way he can accept it and then know who I am."

"Oh Hannah," Etoile sighed. "We don't know whether to complement you or scold you for being cowardly." I felt the same way.
