Start from the beginning
                                        

Hm...only barely at their human age of maturity...yet, the heart of a warrior resides within each of them.

Ascella looked around, wondering if the red one was going to arrive any time soon. She saw no sign of him...disappointing to say the least. He had been the most intriguing of them all...

----------------------------------------------------------

Ross hummed thoughtfully, staring at the alien floating above the park as the rangers tried to push their way through the drainers. He got that feeling again...the intense instinct...

"Alpha...what exactly is Ranger instinct?"

Alpha looked over, his tone indicating surprise.

"Ai yai yai, where is this coming from Ross?"

"An instinct that borders on precognition. Ranger Instinct. That's what Abeoji calls it" he replies "I don't really understand it...where it comes from, what it is exactly. How someone's instinct can heighten like that"

"But why is it suddenly on your mind?"

Ross inhales slowly.

"I think I have it - like I mean, I think I had it before I became a ranger if that makes sense?"

"Hm...Dimitria had a theory, it was that Ranger Instinct was a direct result of the Power. The morphing grid itself protects those connected to it. The rangers who had a more intense instinct were often the ones with multiple powers"

Ross snickers.

"No offense to Miss Dimitria but I wasn't connected to the grid before yesterday, so that doesn't explain my instinct"

Alpha makes a sound like a hum, turning to face the screen again.

"I wouldn't be so certain, Dimitria may have been more accurate than we thought. Time will tell I suppose" he replies before quietly adding "Though...technically speaking, you don't need to be a Power Ranger to have a connection to the grid, it's just the most common way"

Ross glanced back at Alpha, eyebrow raised in silent confusion. What was the robot implying by saying that?

He didn't have long to ponder on it as his father returned, rubbing the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"...I swear to god I hate that woman" he mutters, before looking up "Ross? What are you still doing here?"

"Just wanted to make sure Richie is okay Abeoji"

"Ross..." His father begins only for Ross to shake his head.

"Don't worry, I'm just watching alright?"

"...As long as you're just watching"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Richie! These things are coming faster than we can take them out!" Melissa shouts over the noise of the bots.

Richie looked over before looking around the park, there was no sign of any more people around, they'd fled thank god. Although he could hear the faintest sound of sirens.

"Alright guys! I'd say we don't have long before some police or something arrive! Take the chance to morph now!" he shouts before backing away and twisting his wrist to form his morpher.

He tapped it and the gem flashed purple.

"Saturn Power - Encoded" Mirror declared.

"Now! Open the Codex!"
