The trio stared wide eyed at the place they'd been brought to; it wasn't really a house at all. They had been shown around and the place was probably big enough to sleep ten people, while downstairs was kitted out with computers and technological advances they guessed weren't part of the common homes in Corinth

'This place...' Gemma began

'Is awesome!' Gem finished

'It looks like Alphabet Soup' K commented quietly, more to herself than anything, as she eyed the computers and tech

'We haven't been totally honest with you guys' the man in black told them 'as you can probably tell by the look of this place; it's not exactly a typical home'

'Yeah, we need your help' the woman in yellow told them

'We believe you're the ideal people to help us on a project that's vital to the protection of Corinth' the man in white informed them

'We want you to help us develop new powers to defend this place' the man in blue added

K looked wary; develop powers that furthered modern day technology? Not only did this look like Alphabet Soup, it also sounded like it and she wasn't prepared to go through that again. Releasing Venjix would be for nothing if she just ended up back in a facility; she was going to make it clear she wanted no part in this

'I won't do it'

The six who'd saved them, as well as the twins, all turned to her in shock and surprise

'Why K? What's wrong?' Gem asked

'We've just escaped Alphabet Soup! Do you really think I want to go back to exactly the same thing; different place, different people, same corrupt ideals. We don't even know who these people are, there's no way I'm working for them'

The woman in yellow looked thoughtful. 'We're not Alphabet Soup, or anything like them. They wanted to use you to benefit themselves, we want your help because we can't do this alone'

'It's true,' the man in blue added 'we're not skilled enough to do this alone. That's why we need you; you won't be expected to work 24:7 and never leave this place. If you need a break, you get a break...but ultimately, without you this plan can't go ahead and we need it to if we're to have any chance of keeping Corinth safe'

K thought for a moment. Could these people really be different? She'd known Alphabet Soup and its ideas all her life, she found it hard to think there could be a different motive behind developing technology like this

'What is it you need us for?' She asked, not wanting to agree until knowing what they were going to be a part of

'It's called Project Ranger,' the man in black replied 'we need to develop new powers in order to combat Venjix. Our powers are good, but not good enough; we need to develop technology which is advanced enough to deal with this new threat'

'It sounds like a good thing K' Gem said, turning to her and lowering his voice so only her and Gemma could hear him 'these guys want to save the world'

'And we could help them' Gemma encouraged

K nodded, and the twins turned back to the group. 'We're in,' K told them 'but we still don't know who you are'

'That's true, we should introduce ourselves' the man in black told the others

'I'm Adam Park, second Black Ranger and part of the original team of Power Rangers to protect Earth. We came from Angel Grove' he told them

'I'm Ethan James, the Blue Ranger for a team known as Dino Thunder. We protected Earth in 2004, from a place called Reefside' the man in blue told them

'I'm Sydney Drew, Syd for short,' the woman who wore a uniform with a pink trim 'I haven't protected the world yet, but I'm going to be the Pink Ranger for a team called Space Patrol Delta, known as S.P.D. for short, in the year 2025. Our base is in Newtech City'

The twins and K stared in awe; they were in the presence of someone from the future! To think time travel had been achieved just over a decade from now...

'I'm Nick Russell, the Red Ranger for the Mystic Force team,' the man in red informed them 'we protected Briarwood in 2006'

I'm Ronny, Ronny Robinson' the woman in yellow told them 'I was part of an initiative called Operation Overdrive, and was the Yellow Ranger who guarded San Angeles in 2007'

'And I'm Dominic Hargan, but you can call me Dom,' the man in white told them 'I'm the White Ranger for a team called Jungle Fury, but I was usually referred to as just the Rhino Ranger. We protected Ocean Bluff in 2008'

'That's the team,' Adam concluded 'we were put together to establish Corinth and were put in charge of Project Ranger, to develop ranger powers advanced enough to handle Venjix. There's more to our history, and we've compiled files on all ranger teams for you to look over to give you a better idea of what our lives as rangers involved'

'That was just a short introduction to ourselves, and you'll learn more as we go on,' Syd told them 'but we need to brief you on the mission, as long as you're in'

'We'll do it' k replied simply

'Very well,' Syd proceeded to sit down and pull out a laptop, placing it on the table. She flipped it open and typed furiously before leaning back in her chair so everyone else could see

'Corinth is a military protected stronghold, designed to protect the people inside and keep out the threat outside,' she told them as a video ran through on the screen 'to oversee this, it was decided that us six rangers would be assigned to Project Ranger; an initiative designed to develop newer, more sophisticated ranger powers to combat the threat posed by Venjix more effectively. However, we don't have the capabilities to do it alone'

'We're good, but we're not that good' Ronny laughed

'Speak for yourself' Ethan joked

'Ethan's the closest thing we have to a technical whiz in the group' Nick informed K and the twins

'Hey, I'm from the future,' Syd reminded him 'my technological knowledge is more than ten years better than yours'

'That's a point,' Gem commented 'why d'you need us if you've got people here from the future?'

'I'm a ranger sweetie, not a scientist' Syd remarked 'I know my way around the technology, but I'm not an expert. You guys have been working on government projects for most of your lives, you're better qualified'

'So you provide the experience and information on what makes a Power Ranger...' Gem stated

'And we make it, sounds fair' Gemma agreed

'Sort of,' Adam told them 'we'll play a part in the process too. Ronny here is an expert on the Zords'

'Zords?' K inquired

'Large robots for when the battles get big,' Ethan explained 'we've got a lot of work to do' he expanded when he saw the shocked looks on their faces

'We best get started then' K said firmly 'what's the arrangements?'

'We'll all be sleeping here,' Adam told her 'there's a military division here in Corinth we'll be having frequent contact with, but this project is wholly ranger orientated; basically we don't have to report to them on anything, but to keep them sweet it'll be good to inform them of our progress, even if it's just a quick chat'

'Sounds good, where do we start then?' K said, moving towards one of the computers. However she was stopped by Nick and Adam

'It's good that you're eager, but you guys must be hungry' Nick commented, almost asking. When K nodded slightly, Adam took it as a yes

'Well good, cos we're taking you for something to eat before we get started' he told them with a smile

'We're getting some food?!' Gem asked excitedly

'I've missed good food so much! What are we having?' Gemma asked with equal enthusiasm. Dom looked at the twins with a smile

'Pizza'
