Chapter 01

"Hey Trini, Hey Billy, how was your guys' weekend?" Kimberly Hart asked as she hurried over to her friends Monday morning. With a bright smile on her face, she was clutched her books to her chest, practically skipping over to them. They were just hanging out before school starts, taking time at their lockers to catch up. As usual, the Monday morning blues never got to Kimberly's passionate personality.

"It was good." Trini said. She smiled and nodded, pulling some of her hair behind her ear. "My parents and I were able to see some relatives that we haven't seen in so long."

"That's so cool, Trini." Kimberly grinned. "You must have been so excited."

"I was until I realized that they were going to be all squeezed into our house," Trini said with a light laugh. "It was fun though." She turned to Billy. "How was your weekend? Were you working on that science project?"

"Definitely," Billy said. He finished pulling his books out of his locker and shut the door. "It's in the preliminary stages so far." He couldn't stop the proud smile that wormed its way onto his face. "But by the time I'm done, it's sure to be the newest invention that can change all of mankind."

"You mean like these?" Kimberly smiled back, holding out her communicator. She looked around to be sure that no one would notice before resting her hand on Billy's shoulder. "I think that's great, Billy. You always do such amazing things with your projects."

"Thank you."

"What's going on party people?" Zack announced his presence as he appeared behind the group of friends. Jason and Tommy were with him as well, though they weren't as vocal as Zack was. Smiles and nods were the only greetings they got from the red and white rangers. "So, Ernie's after school? I'm really going to need to cram for this History test that's coming up."

"When are you not, Zack?" Jason teased, lightly hitting his friend on the shoulder. "If you spent half as much time as you do dancing and flirting with Angela, then you wouldn't have a problem with your schoolwork."

"Thanks Dad." Zack rolled his eyes.

"He does have a point though," Tommy commented. "School work first and then fun later." He put his arm around Kimberly's shoulders. "If you keep up that attitude in life, you'll definitely get far."

"And then I'll die of boredom," Zack countered causing the group of friends to laugh. "C'mon, we should get to class." The group then turned on their heel and started to walk down the hall to their class. He stopped when he noticed someone unfamiliar down the hallway at their locker. "Hey, have you guys ever seen her around before?"

The others turned to see where he was pointing and spotted a girl with dark brown hair at her locker. She was wearing a black leather jacket over a white cami that showed some of her stomach and burnt orange shorts as well as black boots. On her face was an expression that was a mixture of anxiety and irritation as she watched students walk back and forth through the hallway. She then turned back to her locker, appearing to be looking for something.

"I think she's new," Trini said as she studied her. "I don't think I've seen her around before."

"She's probably a transfer if she's here this late in the school year," Billy added.

"Well, being the new kid is never easy," Kimberly said.

She looked at Tommy for confirmation and he nodded in agreement. It wasn't that long ago that Tommy had first started at Angel Grove High School and now he was one of the most well-known guys in school. It helped that he was just as athletic and good at martial arts that Jason was.

Kimberly then beamed at her friends, a tell-tale sign that she was up to something. "Let's go introduce ourselves." She then walked over to the girl and stopped by her locker. "Hi, are you new here?"

"You haven't seen me around, so I guess so," the girl replied, briefly looking away from her locker to look at Kimberly. Her brown eyes briefly looked the pink ranger up and down before returning to her locker. Letting out a short sigh, she continued to search through the books that have been shoved inside.

"Well, I'm Kimberly," Kimberly placed a hand on her chest before turning and pointing behind her. "And these are my friends Trini, Billy, Jason, Zack, and Tommy." Each of them gave a smile and wave as their name had been called.

"Avalon." She closed her locker and picked up her backpack off of the ground. Using her right hand, she pushed her hair off of her shoulders, the light bouncing off of a silver pinky ring. "Nice to meet you, I guess."

"Oh, that's such a cool name," Trini said.

"But so long, do you have a nickname or something?" Zack asked. He put a finger to his chin as he started to think about it. "Avatar? Av? Avie? Lonnie?"

Avalon's eyes flashed. "No, it'sjust Avalon."

"Did you just move to Angel Grove?" Tommy asked.

Avalon hesitated then shook her head. "No, I've lived here for a while," she said. "I just transferred here. I was homeschooled and my parents thought that my social skills weren't up to par so here I am." She shrugged.

"I couldn't help but notice that you have an accent," Jason spoke up. "Is it British?"

"Australian, actually," Avalon corrected him. "I was born and raised in Australia, and then we moved here a couple of years ago." She looked at her watch. "I have to go." She hitched her backpack up her shoulder before she moved to walk around the group.

"We could show you around," Jason offered. He nodded over at Tommy. "We know that being new can be hard." He studied Avalon. "It'll be good to know that you have some friends to help you. What are you looking for? Your first class or the administration office?"

Avalon opened her mouth to reply and the warning bell went off. She then closed her mouth, her eyebrows rising. "The bathroom, actually," she replied before stepping around them and walking down the hallway, her boots clumping along the ground as she went.

"She seems nice," Zack said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"She's new," Trini defended her. "It can't be easy, especially if she was homeschooled first." She held out her arm. "We should get going or we're going to be late.

"And I'm sure that Zack can't be late or he'll get another detention," Kimberly teased Zack as the group walked off towards their first class. Zack gave a monotone laugh in reply.

"Watch it short-stuff, I can still get a better grade than you in Math," Zack teased back. He laughed as he followed his friends into the classroom.

Avalon Mitchell smiled to herself as the final bell of the day rang.

She got out of her seat and hurried to her locket to grab her backpack and to get the books that she would need for homework that night. She moved as fast as she could, hoping that she wouldn't be stopped by anyone. It wasn't that she wasn't happy that people actually took the time to try and make her feel welcome; it was that they were slowing her down. She had been late to her classes all day because someone would come up and try to help her. Kimberly appeared to be in everyone one of her classes as well as Billy, and everyone else had a slightly different schedule than hers, but would try to help her get to class anyway. At lunch, she managed to sit by herself; it gave her time to think about what she had to do after school that day. If she was even one second late, it would just cause a lot of problems.

Avalon pulled a skateboard out of her locker and closed the door shut with a sharp push of her hip. She then hurried down the hallways, pushing her way through the crowd that blocked the entrance to the school and hurried down the steps. Miss timing her jump down the last step, she stumbled and crashed into someone, causing them to drop their backpacks.

"Hey, dweeb, why don't you watch where you're going?" he demanded.

"Yeah, why don't you watch where he's going?" the skinny guy next to him agreed with a nod and a slight sneer.

"Whatever." Avalon quickly grabbed the book bags and shoved them into the guys' chests. She then turned and grabbed onto her own stuff and picked them up. "I don't have time for this, I'm in a hurry." She placed her skateboard on the ground and pushed off with her left foot, going as fast as she could. She kept going until she reached a nearby school. As she slowed to a stop and picked up her board, a crowd of little kids raced by her; yelling to their friends, waving to each other, and jumping into their cars. Avalon looked around until she spotted a familiar face. "Bailey!" She called.

A little girl, about the age of eleven hurried over to Avalon, her brown ponytail bobbing behind her. "Hey Av," she greeted as she stopped in front of her pushing her glasses up her freckled nose. "How was school today?"

"Fine, I guess." Avalon shrugged, bending down to pick up her skateboard and tucked it under her arm. She held out her free hand to take Bailey's backpack. "How about you?"

"Good." Bailey smiled and nodded. "A girl already invited me to her house this weekend," she replied as the two started to walk down the street in the opposite direction of Angel Grove High. "And," her nose wrinkled. "This boy wouldn't stop picking on me. The only realistic explanation is that he likes me. But I don't have time for boys right now."

"Bay, you're eleven," Avalon pointed out.

"So?" Bailey stuck her nose in the air stubbornly. "I have to focus on my studies not boys." She turned her head and peered at Avalon. "Did you make any new friends today? I know that Mum always said that it was hard for you, but-"

"No, I didn't make any new friends today," Avalon cut in, rolling her eyes at her little sister. "I don't need any more friends than I do now." She looked at her watch. "Speaking of, we got to get you home or I'm going to be late meeting them." She ignored Bailey's heavy, impatient sigh, but couldn't ignore her stare. "What? Bay, they're not bad."

"You keep getting in trouble when they're around," Bailey pointed out. The two stopped at a cross-walk, waiting for the traffic to lighten up before they could safely get across. "Even a baby could figure out that they're bad news." She pushed her glasses up her nose once more, looking up when she heard a car honk its horn. Avalon followed Bailey's gaze and spotted Kimberly in a bright pink corvette, waving at Avalon as she drove by. "Who was that?"

"You know how whenever you are new to school there's always that one person that tries very hard to make you feel welcome?" Avalon asked. She looked both ways before crossing the street with her sister at her side. "This time there were six of them. They wouldn't leave me alone all day."

Bailey let out an even bigger sigh than before. "You're such a boofhead, Av."

"Thanks, Bay, love you too." Avalon replied. The two continued waking until they reached an apartment complex. Avalon then stopped and handed Bailey her backpack. "Alright, I should be back by seven at the latest. Don't answer the door for anyone, if the phone rings, just say I'm asleep. If you need me, you can just page me and I'll get to a phone as soon as possible. Do your homework and I'll bring home something for dinner."

"I know what to do by now Av, I'm not a baby," Bailey rolled her eyes. She then looked concerned for her sister. "Stay safe, aright?"

"Promise." Avalon held out her pinky finger, the ring flashing in the light. Bailey gave a small smile and hooked her pinky with her sister's before running into the apartment complex. Avalon then turned on her heel, fixing the collar to her leather jacket and started to walk off again. She walked for about twenty minutes, looking over her shoulder every now and then, being sure not to be followed, before ducking down into an alleyway.

Avalon walked over to the group of teenagers that were standing in a circle and talking and laughing with each other. They were all wearing a lot of black; on each of their hands were a silver ring. The tallest guy, who had shaggy blonde hair and green eyes turned, noticing Avalon coming their way. He smiled and nodded at her before she joined their group. "Hey Pinky, how's it going?" he asked.

"Not bad," Avalon replied, nodding over to everyone else in the group. "School was boring as usual." She held up her hands. "Don't ask."

"I won't," The guy replied. His green eyes flashed as he looked behind her. "No one followed you?"

"I think I know what I'm doing at this point, Chase," Avalon cocked her right eyebrows. "No, no one followed me. I'm not that much of a dill." She then wrinkled her nose. "Which reminds me, weren't you the one that told us that we should only do these things in the cover of night?"

"So we're running low on cash," A boy with black hair said carelessly. "We can't wait that much longer."

"Lance is right," Chase agreed. "We're running low on cash and the place that we scoped out is practically deserted at this time." He looked around at the group once more and nodded. "Let's get going." Avalon shoved her hands into her shorts pockets and went with the group as they walked out of the alleyway.

"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi! Zordon, are you sure that she's the one that we need to help us?" Alpha 5 continued to watch a picture of Avalon on the viewing globe as she walked along with her friends. Unlike the smile that was on her face when she was with her sister, Avalon now had a look of anxiety and stern determination on her face. "You know what they're going to do!"

"Yes, Alpha, but she has shown many times that she is the power force that we need," Zordon replied. "We have been watching her for a while now and all of the bad decisions that she makes is heavily outweighed by the good things that she has done for herself and for her sister."

"But what if she doesn't make the right decision with her powers?" Alpha continued to worry. He turned from the viewing globe and turned back to Zordon, moving his hands to his hips. "Can we really take that risk?"

"The only risk that we're taking at this point is whether or not this will really help in the defeat of Rita and Lord Zedd," Zordon stuck but his decision. At that moment, a warning signal went off in the command center as lights began to flash. Zordon and Alpha turned their attention back to the viewing globe where the image of Z-Putties closing in on Avalon and her friends as they started to cross through the park.

"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi! We need to alert the Power Rangers!" Alpha cried.

"Not yet, Alpha, we need to determine whether or not Avalon will rise to the occasion," Zordon commanded.

"Ok, the first house that we're going to hit, you need to be sure to go around the back and-"Chase let out a cry and jumped backwards when a Z-Putty jumped in front of him, waving his arms around. "What is that thing?"

"Don't tell me you're scared, Chase," Lance laughed loudly.

"I wouldn't be laughing Lance," Avalon said, taking a step back. "These guys look fucking crazy." She took another step back and stumbled, falling to the ground. She looked up as the Z-Putties turned and started to advance towards her. "Of all the times I have to be clumsy," she muttered under her breath, watching as the Z-Putties got closer to her, forming a circle around her. "Guys, I could use a little help here!" She called.

But between the waving arms and legs, Avalon could see Chase, Lance, and the rest of the group running away as fast as they could. Avalon gritted her teeth before getting to her feet, moving her hands by her face. "Boofheads." She turned her attention to the putties. "Alright, let's see what this street fighting has taught you" she said under her breath. A Z-Putty jumped in front of her and Avalon ducked as it swung towards her face. Avalon popped back to her feet and punched the Z-Putty right in the face. She let out a cry, waving the pain off of her hand before she backed up and aimed a kick towards another Z-Putty.

The Z-Putties continued to attack her, no matter how hard she fought back. Due to her lack of actual training in fighting, she fought with impulse rather than judgment; her punches and kicks came from what seemed like would be a good idea, wild and carefree rather than thought out and put together. It worked for her, at first, but then the Z-Putties had caught on and managed to hit her in the back and the face, knocking her to the ground a few times. Each time, she would get back to her feet and continue fighting, her frustration starting to blind her. It was one of her wild swings, her arms practically wind-milled, that she managed to hit one of the Z-Putties in the middle of its chest.

"Wha?" Avalon lowered her arms slightly, watching as the Z-Putty crumbled and disappeared right before her eyes. Her eyebrows rose and then a slow, smirk slid onto her face. "So that's what gets rid of these blokes, huh?" She crouched slightly, resting her weight on the balls of her feet. "Time to get rid of these clowns!"

Avalon jumped forward and sent a roundhouse kick to a Z-Putty's chest. She didn't wait to watch the putty disintegrate before she turned to attack the others. They seemed to have noticed that she had been able to destroy the other putties for they had started to back away from Avalon in obvious distress. She back peddled and sent her boot into another Z-Putty's chest. As she turned around to attack the others, she was hit in the face and sent sprawling to the ground. Avalon blocked her face by crossing her arms as a Z-Putty tried to attack her again; she pushed the putty back and did a kick-up back to her feet before sending her elbow into the Z-Putty's chest. She then turned to the remaining Z-Putty and charged towards it, running at full speed. She tackled the Z-Putty to the ground and punched both of her fists into the Z-Putty's chest, causing it to disintegrate out from underneath her.

Avalon rested her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath.

"What was that about?"

All of a sudden, the ground started to shake underneath her.

"What now?" Avalon raised a hand to her head, feeling a little light-headed, and then let out a cry as she was suddenly lifted off of the ground and into the sky in a bright orange energy glow.

...

..

.

"Avalon, are you all right?"

Avalon opened her eyes, she hadn't realized that she had closed them, and slowly took in her surroundings. She was lying on her back on the floor, looking up t the ceiling. Around her she could hear beeps and whistles from machinery and could see flashing lights from machines that she had never seen before in her life. She sat up and quickly backed away when she noticed the robot that had been standing next to her. Angry, she got to her feet.

"Look, I don't know how I got here, but I'm letting you know now that you'll regret it if you tell anyone you saw me!" She spat.

"Avalon, calm down we're on your side," Alpha pleaded with her, his hands outstretched towards her.

"Who's we?" Avalon took another step back, her eyes narrowed. "How the fuck did I get here?"

"We teleported you here after your fight against the Z-Putties," Zordon said, his voice causing Avalon to turn around so fast that her brown hair whipped around and smacked her in the face.

"Z-Putties?" Avalon repeated. Her brown eyes rolled once before she nodded. "Right, those freakish clay things that attacked me." She then seemed to realize that she was talking to a floating head, for she rested her hand flat on her forehead, the other was sitting on her hip. "I must have gotten hit in the head or knocked out or something."

"No, Avalon, we have brought you here because we need your help," Zordon said firmly. Avalon turned her head up to him, listening curiously. "There is an evil witch out here, intent on taking over the world named Rita Repulsa. Alongside her is the evil monster Lord Zedd. Together the two of them have been sending monsters down to Earth in hopes to take over the world. But we have had some help in the form of the Power Rangers to combat their evil plot."

"Right." Avalon crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow her upper lip curling at the same time. "So what does this have to do with me? I mean, you already said that you had the Power Rangers to help you, mate."

"The six rangers that we have already are not enough to defeat the combined powers of Rita and Zedd. Avalon, you will be given extraordinary powers by a dinosaur," Zordon explained patiently. Avalon opened her mouth to speak, but stopped when something flashed in front of her. She looked down to see what looked like a belt buckle sitting on the front of her belt. She picked it up and turned it around, her eyebrows lowering. "What's this?

"That is your Power Morpher; when you're in Danger, you raise it to the sky and call out the name of your dinosaur and you will morph into a Power Ranger." Zordon continued. He seemed to be ignoring Avalon's attitude with the whole thing. He could see Alpha's distress as the conversation went on, but he knew what he was doing. This girl had been chosen for a reason.

Avalon snorted as she replaced the morpher to her belt. "Sorry, mate, but it sounds like something out of a comic book." She shook her head and looked around again. "A surefire sign that I'm dreaming."

"Zordon, she doesn't believe!" Alpha cried, his hands going to his head. "Are you sure about this? The other rangers need help an we need someone that they can completely depend on!"

"This rust bucket is right," Avalon agreed, nodding over to Alpha. He turned to her and while he didn't have a face, she could tell that she had offended him. "No offense" she added quickly before turning back to Zordon. "This is just to weird...it doesn't happen to normal people." She then shook her head, looking down at her morpher once more. "Alright, so if this whole thing is real...what's my dinosaur?"

"Avalon, Impulsive and Caring, you shall command the Stegosaurus Dinozord," Zordon replied.

Avalon's right eyebrow lowered as she studied her feet. She was taking everything in...the plan with her friends, being attacked by the putties, then somehow being transported to this place and being told that she was going to have powers that would help them save the world. She shook her head as she looked up at Zordon again. There's no way that this is real. I must have been knocked out when we hit that house or something. She pushed her hair out of her face and then froze when she remembered. Her friends had abandoned her...what if Bailey was trying to get a hold of her? She needed to get home!

"I gotta make sure that Bailey's OK," she said out loud, more to herself than to Zordon and Alpha. She turned and started to walk out of the command center, but then stopped and turned around. "Hang on a tick, how did you even know where I was to get me here?"

"With the viewing globe," Alpha replied, pointing to the glass globe that was sitting at the side of the room. "We can see when the other Rangers are in trouble or when the Earth is being attacked. We saw that you were being attacked by the Z-Putties and watched as you fought them off. Zordon was sure that you were the one that we needed and teleported you here."

"Right," Avalon said after a second. "Could you teleport me home then? Or something?"

"Your morpher has the ability to teleport you wherever you need to go," Zordon instructed. Avalon nodded and made a face of confusion as she moved her hands to her belt, trying to figure out how to get back home to her sister. "You may not believe in the power that you have, but Alpha and I know that you are what can help the rangers stop Rita and Zedd."

Avalon looked up at Zordon once more before she teleported out of the command center in a flash of orange light.

"Do you really believe that she can help us?" Alpha asked, turning back to Zordon.

"Yes, Alpha, I do, whether she believes in herself or not, she can do this."
