morphosis | Rangers: Now Recruiting

Whatever you was doing? Wherever you were? It's now irrelevant. You see a sudden flash of light, a sensation like you're suddenly made of nothingness, and a rush of electric energy where you think your body must be. There's just enough time and consciousness for you to think that this is frightening, or strange, or perhaps cool, but in a second your body is whole again and you're sprawled on the cold hard ground in the darkness.

The space you find yourself in is dark, save for the twinkling white lights like stars that adorn the walls. As others warp in just like you have, streaks of colored teleportation energy fading around the outlines of their bodies, a ring of light illuminates the central controls. A number of control panels surrounds a central platform, the tops of the panels standing about at waist-height for an adult human. Each panel's outline is lit by a colored streak of light.

A single shape stands on the central platform, hustling and bustling to each successive platform. It's not human---the head is shaped like two cymbals crushed together, the limbs move a little too stiffly, and brightly lit buttons line its torso. It suddenly turns to spot your character, its red visor fixed on you as surely as a human's eyes would be. The little robot throws up its hands, waving you over after a moment.

"Ai yai yai. Ah...what should I say? Oh, that's right. Welcome, humans! And...others. You have been chosen to become Power Rangers."

Congratulations, you're about to find out just what that means.

[ooc: Your character has been given a morpher and a promise that they'll know what to do when they morph. Feel free to talk amongst the other recruits, badger Alpha, accept or refuse the offer at your leisure. No matter what, though, the call of battle will soon reach you, and your character will be teleported out into the wider world (and the call of battle). Don't worry, you'll be back in the Hexagon soon enough.]

It didn't take long for Lee to realize that who came through the gate was clearly upset. He put on his best face to try to aid the new girl.

"Uh, that won't be necessary." He lifted his hands to show that he meant her now harm in a submissive gesture before he slowly lowers them to his sides.

"The gate brought you here. You are not being held against your will, but rather we need your help."

G brushed off and narrowed his eyes, "Yeah? Kinda fucked up way of 'asking' for help. Couldn't you like, sent a message or some shit?"

Really not feeling this place right now. They really hated being captured... especially after all that happened.

"Where am I by the by? Some messed up arcade?"

"I wish it were that easy." Lee admitted as he looked at G. "Have you tried to make an inter-dimensional phone call? The lag time is terrible. Well, never mind that. You're in a place called Earth. Presently, you're inside the Hexagon, which is our base of operation for the Power Rangers. Believe me, I thought the same thing too once until I came to realize that this isn't a game." Back then, he wished it were.

G shrugs, "I couldn't do it, but the dimensional -- " He paused. If he revealed he knew about Pokemon, and that he, herself was one... maybe he'd keep that knowledge to himself for now.

"Well, I knew beings that could have done it easily."

G took in what the person was saying before sighing, narrowing his eyes in annoyance. "I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the Unova region is nowhere on this planet..."

"You would be correct. I'm sorry that we had taken you from your home. We had very little choice in the matter and I do apologize for inconveniencing you. My name is Lee Chaolan. I assume that you had already met Alpha?"

He extended a hand in a friendly gesture.

G huffed, simply nodding. That was more most even got from her, especially in the mood he was in.

"Right, the tin can? Asshole's lucky I didn't scrap me from putting that fucking cage around me. I hate being caged..."

"Alpha is a dear and loyal friend. He only did what he thought he needed to do given the circumstances. I do apologize that he was only doing what he was programmed to do. It's not his fault." Lee spoke softly.

With emotions running hot, he let the cursing go. There wasn't much he could do about it without sounding like a jerk himself or even worse. "May I ask for your names?"

"Yeah, and you know, like I told him, I was doing what you would naturally do if you got kidnapped and yanked from bed. Be royally pissed." he scoffed.

At the mention of names, he crossed his arms. "Call me G."

"I would think that you wouldn't be alive otherwise if you hadn't used your own self-preservation skills to overcome a challenge, yes? Anger is a useful weapon when you need it most."

He returned the gesture with a nod, considering that his hand had gone ignored. "It's a pleasure to meet you, given the circumstances, G."

"Survival, yeah, that's what matters most to me." considering what she had gone through.

"Save the pleasure for when I figure wether I buy this whole bullshit and this chosen spiel the bolt bucket was spewing earlier. Can't say I'm in on this till I know what the hell's going on and even then, it'll be a coin toss anyways."

Straight to the point with G.

"Fair enough." There was no sense on forcing the issue.

Lee moved to the side to give G some breathing room. The choice was theirs to make and force wasn't the way of the Rangers unless it was a force of evil that needed to be dealt with.

"There is a reason why we're here. Most likely, we will see soon enough what that reason is. I'm sorry I'm being cryptic, but that is how things go around here for the time being. There is a threat, I know that much."

"Here too huh? Yeah, it's always some cryptic shit and mysterious message that brings about the 'chosen' or whatever bullcrap you want to believe. Most of the time? It's just a scam or a hoax. I hope, that if I got taken from home, that this isn't a waste of my time."

"This is no hoax or scam. Be patient and everything will soon make sense to you in due time." If only he could make his case more believable but without Zordon it's nearly impossible to convince everyone so easily.

"I'll take your word for it... for now." She still didn't trust this whole thing one bit, but for right now, she had no other choice but to play along.

She'll sit and listen to the briefing and gathers her collar morpher and studies it for a bit. More power? That's something she can get behind...

"I understand." Lee's head lowered slightly. "I'll leave you to your thoughts."

He only hoped that this war would end with the Rangers as triumphant this time.
