Rise Of The Black Ranger

Its the afternoon in a city bustling with people walking around and working as many went into a Diner while three people talk amongst each other in one of the booths all three of them eating pie the boy next to the girl had short black hair and dark brown eyes as he wore a costume reminiscent of the black ranger from Power rangers rpm.

The girl next to him was taller than him and had flowing red hair that went down to her back. The costume she was wearing was a pink ranger with the design of an rpm ranger, the costume itself having an accent of white on the sides of the torso.

The one across from them was wearing the red ranger costume, his hair being slightly short on the sides but puffed up and slightly longer on the top.

“So today was fun” the red ranger commented with a nervous chuckle.

“Yeah, it was before you kicked me in the dick Adam” the boy in the black ranger costume stated.

“C'mon Jason give me a break it was an accident” Adam responds with a groan.

Jason just frowned as he went back to eating his pie the girl giggled at his response “C'mon little bro it was an accident”.

“I don’t care it fucking hurt Knila” Jason Grumbled.

“Alright jeez, sorry Adam you heard him” She stated as Adam sighed in annoyance as they sat there in silence while Jason continued to eat his pie.

“So have you seen Jake at all when we were at the convention?” Knila asked.

Jason raised a finger as he chewed on a piece of pie before swallowing “Yeah he was with some friends of his, I talked to him for a bit but he had to go since he was participating in the contest they were having in there”.

“That’s good, at least you were able to spend time with him”.

“What were you guys up to?”.

“I was with Adam we were just getting some stuff from the booths so pretty much most the same, to be honest”.

“ Oh, I was meaning to ask you earlier how’s the pregnancy going?” Adam asked.

“It’s going pretty well actually” she replied with a smile.

“How far into it are you sis?” Jason asked then asked.

“Im about five months into it right now” Knila replied rubbing her belly which had a noticeable bulge on her midsection”.

“Still can’t believe im gonna be an uncle in four months”.

“Yeah..” she replied.

The trio continued to talk for a couple of minutes until two men in black masks rush into the diner.

“What the…..?” Jason said in confusion as he saw the two men pull out guns.

“Okay this is a hostage situation so if you don’t want to die don’t do anything stupid,” one of the men says as they walk down the aisle of the diner as the three lower their heads.

“Just keep your head down and maybe he’ll leave us be” Adam whispers to Jason and Knila as the man comes up to their booth seemingly ignoring them as he passed them before stopping abruptly.

“Get up,” the man says as he grabs Jason by the shoulder.

“What?, No let me go!” Jason replies trying to get out of the man’s grip.

“Get up!” the man growls out pulling Jason up before pushing him in front of him the man then heard police cars outside of the diner.

“Oh shit,” the man said before grabbing Jason and wrapping his arm around his neck pointing a gun to his head.

“Don’t you fucking come in here I will fucking shoot this kid if you do!”.

“Oh crap” Jason repeated over and over in his head as he tried to stay still so he wouldn’t set the guy off.

“I will fucking do it, don’t test me!”.

Jason just whimpered out as he heard Adam shout out “Let him go he’s just a kid dammit!”.

“Adam don’t!”.

The man then shot Adam in the shoulder, the young man fell back into the seat clutching his bleeding shoulder as he grits his teeth in pain.

“That ought to shut you up,” The man said before placing his gun back on Jason’s head.

“Oh my god,” Knila whimpers out as she tries putting pressure on the wound before hearing a struggle coming from the man and Jason “Let go of me, you bastard!”.

“Stop struggling you brat!” the man shouted before a gunshot rang out as the windows shattered around them and the man holding Jason fell forwards, his gun dropping to the ground as Jason was released.

“You bastards!” his partner shouts before throwing down his bag and taking a detonator Jason realizing what’s about to happen shouts out “Everyone, get down!”.

The man presses the detonator as the bag blows up the blast knocking Jason back into a wall the blast mowed through multiple people killing them as he heard the screams of agony come from them his body having burned all over as he lost consciousness.

As Jason regained consciousness he found himself in a large open white room with nothing around him, no breeze from the wind on his skin, and no feeling from his body.

His eyes widened as he checked his body frantically for burns before looking at his hands “What? Why am I not burned?”

“Wait where are my clothes?” he said before saying “That dream..”

“The explosion. The screams. It felt so real” he muttered to himself before saying “Where the hell am I?” as he frantically looked around him finding nothing in the area around him.

“What the?” he said confused.

He then heard what sounded like footsteps from behind him before he turned to see a figure in a black trench coat, with black hair along with what looked to be an acoustic guitar over his shoulder.

“Who are you?” Jason asked.

The figure didn’t respond instantly as he looked at Jason with an apologetic look on his face, “I’m sorry.”

“What?” Jason replied confused before saying “Why are you saying sorry and can you not look at me while I’m not wearing clothes?” embarrassment clear on his face as he tried covering up his body.

“It’s not the worst I’ve seen,” the figure responded before shaking his head, “anyway I’m sorry I couldn’t save you, or the others.”

“Wha-” Jason was about to say before flashes of the dream flashed through his mind as it dawned on him “n-no wheres my sister where’s Adam!?”.

The figure looked away from Jason before he said, “They’ve already been sent away… and I don’t mean back to where you were before.”

Jason looked shattered as he fell to his knees tears streaming down his face as he choked out sobs.

“I think you have the wrong idea… they’ve moved on- to another world, none of you could go back. You had no bodies to go back to.”

“W-what they’re okay?” Jason replies.

“You need to define okay. Are they alive? Yes. Did you survive the attack… no.”

Jason stands himself up as he asks “Then why am I here and what is this place!?”.

“How to explain this in a way that makes sense… you all died when the restaurant was blown up. Me and a friend pulled the souls of everyone who perished in the attack to safety, this is essentially an empty space where I can speak with you… where I can try and save you.” the figure responded.

“Save me?”.

“Yes. Save you like the others have been… you're the last one left from the attack that needed help… well beyond the ones who are going to be punished. But you don’t need to think about that, there for me and my friend to handle.”

Jason nodded before saying “Whatever you do to them they deserve every bit of it”

“Okay. Well, let’s just say. To save you, I’m sending you to another world,” the figure responded before they heard what sounded like a baby crying, “One second.” the figure added before turning around before what looked to be a crib appeared behind him as he carefully picked a small child that almost looked to be newborn up in his arms slowly rocking him as the child seemed to calm down.

“Cute kid” Jason comments.

The figure didn’t respond as he looked back to Jason, “anyway. I want to send you to a new world, in a body like your old one… just with some alterations.”

“What kind of alterations?”.

The figure then placed the baby back in the crib before it disappeared and he turned back to Jason, “well what you died dressed as could work.”

“You're changing me to Dillon?”.

“Well… that's how it normally goes. Although it usually happens at a convention. The one who started bringing someone back to life after they died was my dad but he was,” the figure paused before he added with an annoyed sigh “not a nice guy about it.”

“He did it for fun didn’t he?”.

“That… and orchestrated the attacks to get subjects to do this too,” the figure admitted.

“He sounds like a bastard...”.

“He was. Anyway back to the matter at hand.” The figure stated, “are you willing.”

Jason nodded in response “Yeah I’m willing”.

“Okay then,” the figure responded, “Right what are you missing?”

“ My weapons, my bag, and my costume and clothes since im not wearing anything….” Jason replied.

“Also I’m curious the people who turned up missing at cons are people like him the reason why?”.

“Yeah, people like him,” the figure responded, “either way, maybe get something on,” he added as a bag appeared by Jason’s feet.

“Thanks” Jason states as he went into a bag pulling out a set of clothes, the last bit of clothing being a jean vest.

“That’s better,” Jason said as he put on the jean vest.

“At least you're not wearing nothing now,” the figure responded as he appeared to be scrolling in front of a screen in front of him.

“What are you doing?” Jason asked curiously.

“Just finding something,” the figure responded before saying, “why does it always take me so long to find things when I need them… here it is.”

The figure then held out a small black wooden box that had a number five stylized into a wolfs head on the top in gold on the top, “normally someone would have to pay for this but, I’ll give you a discount… something in the ballpark of… 100%”

“What is it?” Jason asked as he took the box into his hands.

“Just open it,” The figure responded.

“Ok…” Jason replies as he opened up the box revealing a Morpher inside of it “ A Morpher…?” Jason then said as took hold of it taking it out of the box the Morpher itself being rectangular with a lever on the bottom and three red buttons near the center of the Morpher while the color on the outer parts of it was black while the center was a goldish yellow the lever part having the same color on the ends of it.

“Let’s just say… you’ll kinda need it.”

“Where are you sending me?”.

“You’ll just need to wait and find out,” the figure responded before he held out a small black rectangular block in his hand, that looked to be made to slide into the Morpher.

“Alright then....”. Jason took the rectangular block as he opened the Morpher and slid the block into it.

“If you are lucky, you will never see me again,” the figure responded before the world began to blur around them.

“What’s happening!?” Jason Shouted out confused before he blinked to find that the figure had disappeared.

“Where did he?” Jason mutters frantically looking around himself before he falls to the floor his body losing its strength as he slumped to the floor losing consciousness.
