Red Space Ranger-Chapter 1
By Ben Ponton

    Andros, a young man of 17 years, watches the stars from the planet he is currently living on. As he looks, he wonders where the rest of his family is. His history starts like this:
    As a six year old boy, he and his sister, Karone, used to dream about being Power Rangers. Soon Karone wouldn't dream about things like that at all. One day, on their planet, KO-35, the two kids were playing outdoors with a toy. The toy flew into some bushes and Andros went to get it. As he did, an evil being called Darkonda picked up Karone and made off with her. By the time Andros came back to where they had been playing, Karone and Darkonda were long gone. Andros always blamed himself. Years passed, and as they did, Karone had gained new parents. These parents were evil, and them and their servent Ecliptor raised Karone to become evil. They now called her Astronema and she had many powers. She and Ecliptor had become very close friends, and her stood by her no matter what! One day, the monarch of all evil, Dark Spector, had Astronema help him to destroy a planet... called KO-35! They attacked it and Andros was seperated from his parents and got on a different rescue shuttle to them. Dark Spector was pleased with Astronema's efforts to destroy KO-35, and gave her her own ship, called the Dark Fortress.
    Andros knew none of this, and was constantly searching for his sister, little did her know she was standing right in front of him many times, you'll see what I mean.
    As I was saying, Andros was staring into space, watching the shooting stars pass every now and then, and always thinking. "Hey, what you doing?", asked a familiar voice. Andros got up and was pleased to see his best friend, Zhane. "Just thinking.", answered Andros. "Don't worry, we'll find your family one day, man. Its just a matter of time.", said Zhane to comfort his friend.
    They both went inside to where the escapees had set up camp. As soon as they were in, they heard a loud bang outside. They and the others in the tent rushed out to see what was happening. Quantrons in Quadro-Fighters were attacking their planet. "Oh, no, its Dark Spector again!", yelled a woman.  They all rushed inside and grabbed everything they could before they ran out the back entrance and onto the rescue shuttle again. They took off, just as Astronema used a super torpedo to blow up the planet!

* * *
"I have bad news my princess, the rebels have escaped the planet before got to destroy it.", said Ecliptor to a bright orange hair colored Astronema. "What a disappointment. FOLLOW THEM!!! We have to catch them for Dark Spector!", she yelled. "As you wish.", said Ecliptor as he typed in so co-ordinates on the control pannel. The Dark Fortress stopped floating, and turned to follow the rescue shuttle at a distance that they could not be detected at.

* * *
The rescue shuttle began experiencing technical difficulties! It began swerving. "Oh no!", said someone. "We're going to crash!", said one of the pilots. And so they did. The shuttle crash landed on a planet with a hard thump.

* * *
The rebels all got out of the ship to see if the planet was livable. Once out, they heard a crack of thunder, and there was a flash of light, and Zordon's head appeared in the sky. "Welcome, rebels of KO-35.", he said. "Zordon," began Zhane,"we're under attack by Dark Spector and Astronema! Can you help us?", he asked. "Yes, but only you and your friend Andros have the capability to stop Astronema.", he said. In front of Zhane and Andros appeared two morphers. "With these you can become Power Rangers, a fighting force dedicated to protecting the universe from all evil!" Andros and Zhane picked up the morphers. "Now, Andros, you push 3, 5, 5 on you morpher, and Zhane you push 2, 5, 8, 0 on yours, they will transform you into Power Rangers. Once you have done that, take this ship, the Astro MegaShip, and go into battle with Astronema. I'll see that the rest of the rebels find a new livable home. Good luck, and may the power protect you.", explained Zordon. The two friends did as they were told, and morphed. Andros became a mighty Red Ranger, and Zhane became an awesome Silver Ranger! "Before you go, take these.", said Zordon and presented them with four more morphers. "One day you will find four other extraordinary teens, with the ability to be Power Rangers like yourselves. Give them these, and remember to always work together as a team!" Red Ranger and Silver Ranger got inside the Astro Megaship, and took off after Astronema.
