We ran to help, but he was just too strong. Two strangers came to try to help, but then that witch Magical came and turned T.K. into her slave. Dark Parallax ordered him to kill Kari, but he resisted. Then Dark Parallax grabbed T.K. and flew off. It was then I found out that I was the new Black Ranger. Oh, Dark Parallax better watch his back.</P> <P ALIGN="RIGHT">Shawn Hunter</P> </I><B> <P>From Shawn's POV</P> <P>Thursday, January 6, 2050</P> <P>Butler High School</P> </B> <P>It was the first day of school after the winter break and I was jumpin. Lets see in the Senior Class there was Cory Matthews, Topanga Lawrence, my sweetheart Angela Moore, Lucy Camden, Emily Quartermain, and me.</P> <P>In the Junior Class were Joe, Kay Bennett, Miguel Lopez-Fitsgerald, Charity, and Simon Russell.</P> <P>In the sophomore class was Tai, Matt and Sora.</P> <P>In the freshman class was Simon Camden, Izzy and Mimi.</P> <P>In the eight grade class at Smith Middle school was Stephanie Tanner, and Ken. While Yolie was at Morton Middle School/</P> <P>In the seventh grade were Kari, and Davis. T.K. was also in that grade but he was kidnapped.</P> <P>Cody, Ruthie Camden, and Michelle Tanner were in the fourth grade.</P> <P>I said, "Hey Lucy."</P> <P>Lucy asked, "Where did you go last night with Kari, Lamont and Blade?"</P> <P>"Oh, we just talked about some plans to try to get T.K. back," I replied.</P> <P>"Hey guys," Lamont said.</P> <P>Blade said, "Do you know where room 211 is?"</P> <P>I took Lamont and Blade aside and said, "What are you doing here? I thought you were both 19?"</P> <P>Blade said, "We were, but once again, thanks to a dear departed friend I'm 18 and Lamont here is 17, so we have to go back to high school."</P> <P>I said, "Wow, that's tough."</P> <P>Blade said, "It could be worse," he walked over to Lucy, "there might not be a beautiful girl here." He winked at Lucy.</P> <P>Lucy walked past Blade and said, "Lamont do you want to eat lunch with me today?"</P> <P>Lamont said, "Sure why not." He looked at Blade who looked depressed. "But why don't you eat lunch with Blade today? I'm going to skip lunch to go to the library."</P> <P>"Ok," Lucy said.</P> <P>Lamont walked away and Lucy watched him as he walked away.</P> <P>Blade said, "I have a way with the ladies."</P> <P>I shook my head and said, "Whatever?"</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <B> <P>Star Mountain</P> </B> <P>T.K. was chained to a wall and said, "I will never harm my friends, ecspeially Kari."</P> <P>Dark Parallax said, "Oh, but when I'm done with you, you'll do stuff you'll do stuff you never though you would."</P> <P>T.K. said, "Kari and the others will come."</P> <P>Dark Parallax said, "Those Power Rangers will be helpless after my first Merger Creature attacks. Slave One, come here." He pulled out a ray gun and fired it at him. He turned into Waterite, ½ water, and ½ human. "Now go hide in the Miami River."</P> <P>Waterite said, "Yes Master."</P> <P>T.K. said, "They'll defeat him."</P> <P>Dark Parallax said, "We'll see."</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <B> <P>Morton Middle School</P> </B> <P>Kari was sitting at a lunch table just staring out in space. She was mumbling, "T.K. come back, T.K.!"</P> <P>Her eyes filed with tears, but the tears quickly went away, and some might say that you could see fire in her eyes when her thoughts turned to Dark Parallax.</P> <P>"Hey Kari, what's up?" asked Davis.</P> <P>Kari replied, Nothing much."</P> <P>Davis said, "Hey where's T.D.?"</P> <P>Kari quickly got up, grabbed Davis's shirt, squeezed it tight and angrily said, "His name is T.K."</P> <P>Davis gulped and said, "Sorry, my mistake."</P> <P>Kari sat back down and just sat there and continued to stare out in space.</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <B> <P>The Miami River</P> </B> <P>The smith middle school's eight-grade class was taking a field trip to Taylorsville Reserve to learn about winter food chains.</P> <P>Ken asked, "So how's Kari doing?"</P> <P>Stephanie said, "She's been a wreck since Dark Parallax grabbed T.K."</P> <P>Ken said, "It must be hard to lose the one your in love with."</P> <P>Stephanie said, "I know if anything happened to Simon I would freak."</P> <P>"Same here is anything happened to Yolie," Ken replied. He reached down to touch the water. "Brr it's cold."</P> <P>Stephanie said, "I wish someone could help."</P> <P>Ken said, "There is a legend that says when Vandalia is confused and covered in Darkness the 12 Rainbow Warriors will appear, and banish the real threat."</P> <P>Stephanie said, "The real threat, does that mean Dark Parallax or Count Funela and Magical-El-Play? Or something else?"</P> <P>Ken said, "It must mean those two upon Star Mountain. They are the main cause of this evil. Dark Parallax is just a lackey for them."</P> <P>Stephanie said, "You would make a great Ranger."</P> <P>Ken said, "No I wouldn't. But I would like to help out."</P> <P>Stephanie said, "I'm sure that you would be a great asset on the computer."</P> <P>Ken said, "Thanks, you however would make a very cute ranger."</P> <P>Stephanie blushed and said, "Thanks."</P> <P>Just then out of the water came Waterite. He said, "Water Pump!" A blast of water knocked Ken and Stephanie into the river.</P> <P>Stephanie picked up a blue rock to throw at Waterite, but it started to glow as soon as she touches it. "What's happening?"</P> <P>Ken pulled out his small laptop and said, "It's a Time Device. Legend said that about fifty years ago, the Power Rangers save all of reality and hid nine time devices in the world. Five will be hidden in the city. Two strangers will come and unite the Rangers and their friends to fight the real threat."</P> <P>Stephanie said, "Two strangers? Lamont and Blade."</P> <P>Ken said, "You're right. They came as soon as Star Mountain appeared."</P> <P>Waterite said, "Excuse me, monster here."</P> <P>Ken said, "Ya, Ya, wait a minute we're talking here."</P> <P>Waterite said, "I will teach you some respect."</P> <P>Stephanie said, "Oh, stuff it." Then held up the Blue Time Device and the light from it blinded Waterite. The light was so bright you could see it miles away.</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <B> <P>Butler High School</P> </B> <P>Lamont, Blade and I were talking about ways we could try to get T.K. back.</P> <P>I said, "Hopefully he's not going to b kept on Star Mountain."</P> <P>Blade said, "Why is that?"</P> <P>I said, "You don't know this, but you know at the center of Star Mountain is our two friends. But they are protected by a force field. To deactivate the force field you need to defeat the five Star Creatures. Each one guards a different part of the Mountain. And you can't even get to the mountain until you defeat the Mountain Guardian."</P> <P>Lamont said, "Wow that's a lot of work for us to do."</P> <P>I said, "The Mountain Guardian and the Star Creatures compared to Dark Parallax is like comparing a Nuclear Missile to a rock. They are that strong. But were not even going to get to them because they can send Lieuentants to cities to take it over. They have agents in almost every city in the world. However LeAnn the Phantom Ranger protects this city and Daniel and Magical keep on sending agents. It wasn't until you two got here that they got desperate."</P> <P>Lamont said, "They both have a score to settle with me." Just then Lamont's phone rang and he said, "Hello." "Kari, what's up?" "How are you holding up?" "What?!" "Are you sure?" "By the river. I'll meet you there."</P> <P>Blade said, "What's up?"</P> <P>"Someone found the Blue Time Device," Lamont replied.</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <B> <P>The Miami River</P> </B> <P>All four of us arrived and saw Ken and Stephanie battling Waterite. We noticed that the Blue Time Device was blinding Waterite.</P> <P>Just then Lamont thought of something. "That's it!" he exclaimed.</P> <P>"What's it?" Blade asked.</P> <P>Lamont said, "I almost forgot."</P> <P>"Forgot what?" I said.</P> <P>Lamont said, "Inside the Time Devices are the Merger Crystal-Diamonds. Not only do they have to power to merge things, but to unmerge them too."</P> <P>Ken said, "What can we do?!"</P> <P>Lamont said, "Kari place your hand on Stephanie and help her focus the energy."</P> <P>Kari walked over to Stephanie, and placed her hand on her shoulder. Then she closed her eyes and concentrated. The light from the Time Device got brighter and all of it was beaming right on Waterite.</P> <P>Lamont said, "Now Stephanie, since this is your device you need to say Merger Healing Power."</P> <P>Stephanie said, "O.K. I'll try. Merger Healing Power!"</P> <P>Just then the light turned into a spiral and it looked like it was drilling a hole in the creature. Then Waterite started glowing its self.</P> <P>"What's happening?" I asked.</P> <P>Waterite exploded in a bright blue light. When the light died down, we saw that there was a human and a puddle of water where Waterite used to be.</P> <P>Ken walked up to us and said, "Kari, are you guys the new Power Rangers?"</P> <P>Kari said, "Yup."</P> <P>Ken said, "I guess that means that Stephanie is a ranger too."</P> <P>I said, "It looks that way."</P> <P>Blade said, "Can you two come with us?"</P> <P>Stephanie said, "Are you taking us to the base."</P> <P>Lamont said, "Ya, we are."</P> <B> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <P>Dark Parallax's Secret Base</P> </B> <P>T.K. screamed as Dark Parallax pumped him full of something using an IV.</P> <P>T.K. groaned, "What are you doing to me?"</P> <P>Dark Parallax smiled and said, "I'm pumping you full of evil."</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <B> <P>S.O.S.</P> </B> <P>Ken said, "So you just need to find the Yellow and Red Time Devices then you can activate the powers of the basic rangers, and fight Dark Parallax."</P> <P>I said, "That about right."</P> <P>Stephanie said, "Do you know who the other two are?"</P> <P>Blade said, "No, we won't know until that person touches the time device, just like you three."</P> <P>Kari said, "But we will find them, defeat Dark Parallax and rescue T.K."</P> <P>Lamont said, "And with him out of the way we have a big job to do."</P> <P>I said, "What's that?"</P> <P>Blade said, "We need to go and find the other Time Devices and rescue other cities from the grasp of Daniel and Magical. Then we have to defeat the Mountain Guardian, and the five Star Creatures so we can get rid of those two."</P> <P>However unknown to us, Thames was at a nearby table watching us. He pulled out his communication device and said, "The Targets have been located."</P> <B> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <P>Narrator:</B> Will Dark Parallax turn T.K. evil, and who are the other two Power Rangers?
