"Greetings Ross Park, I am the Mars Codex AI. An artificial intelligence designed to reside within the red Codex Morpher and assist the Mars Ranger in their endeavors. Since you now possess this Morpher, I can only assume you are to be the new Red Ranger"
"...O-Oh, I picked up the red one - wait how do you know who I am - actually no - save that for later. The important thing is, right now, how do I morph?"
"Of course, all other questions can be answered later. First please change the morpher from its disguised state by twisting your wrist, then tap it and declare 'Open the Codex!' while twisting the disc that will soon be present on the morpher"
"G-Got it!" he took a deep breath "It's Morphin' Time!"
Ross twisted his wrist and in a flash of red the morpher changed from its red and white watch form to a gold one, shaped like a rectangle with a disk on the front. The centre of the disk had a red gem and there was a screen on the rectangle with some red buttons around it. He tapped the screen and it flashed with a strange red symbol, the shape of a circle with an arrow point out on an upwards angle.
"Mars Power - Encoded" the Ai declared.
Ross twisted the disk as he moved his arm in what felt an instinctual motion shouting:
"Now! Open the Codex!"
The red glow consumed his vision, he didn't know how long he stood there feeling the power beginning to flood his body from deep within him...but soon enough, he felt clarity returning to him...and he stopped to finally look at himself...
Ross' breathing had grown ragged, as his body tingled and trembled. With every beat of his heart, power was pumped around his body in the same manner as his blood. He could feel it, it swarmed his veins and radiated from every movement.
Even his senses were heightened, more keenly aware of movement and noise...
He clenched his fists, glancing over his outfit. It was mostly red, as he had expected, though the belt, gloves and boots were white. The buckle of his belt as well as the cuffs of his gloves were a shiny gold. Triangular dark red shapes rested on his shoulders and on his hips just beneath his belt. Two gold stripes crossed his chest from his shoulders.
He couldn't know what his helmet looked like, but from what he could tell, he certainly had a big visor.
Ross took a moment, just a moment, to take in a deep breath. To let himself come to terms with that power, he...almost understood now why his father loved being a ranger so much. The power that seemed to flood his veins was...enticing in a way he couldn't explain.
It wasn't in the sense that one might go power hungry, though certainly Ross could imagine some might, for him...it...felt more like, a piece of him that had always been missing was suddenly present upon morphing. Like he felt completely at peace in himself, in a way he never had.
Whatever it was...he didn't want to let it go.
He put himself into a fighting stance once more, almost welcoming this power to let him defend his father the way he wanted.
"Alright, now that's over with. Let's dance!"
"...A Power Ranger...interesting" the Alien says "But...evidently, from my observation you're new to it. A fledgling ranger, I don't think you're much of a threat. You should surrender for you own sake"
Ross snickered.
"Hah, I'll take my chances!"
Adam paused, a flash of recollection flooding his mind -
