I'd rather get some sort of agreement with the goverment that last longer than our stint as Black Ranger. No taxes for life would be awesome.

"Do we get paid? Saving the world is nice and all. But if one of us ends up as hobo because we couldn't hold down a job...well then no one is happy. Also why can't we escalate the conflict? You didn't really explained."

"No you don't get paid, don't worry many other teams have been able to hold down jobs while working as rangers, As for escalating the conflict, well it's mainly because there's no way the zords would get to a fight before an alien realised what was happening and grew big, and trust me if you haven't destroyed those things once taking them on in a zord fight becomes a lot more difficult."

Daniel spoke up before anyone else had a chance to say anything, "I've got a question, just who are you, or should that be what are you? You have all this advanced technology which could only be for three reasons, one you work for Lightspeed, and if you did we wouldn't be here we'd be at the lightspeed branch in town, two you are a billionaire business owner like Andrew Hartford, but I know the only people with enough money to pull something like this off and your not one of them, which brings us to three, you're actually an alien. Of course there's more than just your technology, there's also your knowledge of other teams, for instance you say many other teams were able to hold down jobs, now of the four ranger teams whose identities are known only Mystic Force had jobs while being rangers, well Lightspeed had jobs but their job was to be power rangers so I'm not counting them. So this leads me to believe your not talking about Earth rangers but rather other rangers from other worlds, presuming of course that you are an alien."

"Well you're right on one part, wrong on another, yes I am an alien, but no I was talking about earth teams, you'd be surprised how easy it is to get in contact with ranger teams when you have knowledge of an evil coming to attack the planet and five morphers. Now you're all probably wondering why a random alien would be interested in saving this planet, well I'm not, okay that's a lie but it's secondary to my goal of capturing Malhavoc, the most recent planet he captured was mine, luckily I was away at the time of the attack and was able to work out where the nearest planet with sapient lifeforms would be, here. So I came here set up this base did some research on previous teams and here we are. Oh and before you say anything I will not sacrifice anyone on this planet to capture Malhavoc."

For a couple of seconds nobody says anything but then Claire speaks up, and you realise her voice is very quiet, "Why was I chosen? I'm not a fighter, I've never even thrown a punch before in my life, the others can all fight really well and there has to be someone in the city who can fight better than me."

"Not all of you were chosen because you were fighters, Lex, Amber, and Sean were, you and Daniel were chosen for other reasons, Daniel was chosen for his intellect, you were chosen because you are a healer, you're good with people, and in a team that has to deal with saving the world, keeping secret identities, and holding down jobs that's very important."

"I'm not sure I understand."

"I'm not going to be able to explain it much better, but don't worry someone will get in contact with you to explain it."

"Okay, I'll wait."

---------------------------
So there's no decision for you guys to make here, though if anyone has new questions ask away, this is just part 1 of a two part update, I'm posting this now because, thanks to procrastination, this took me a week to finish and I just want to get it out there before starting on the parts that I haven't planned out.

"Anymore questions, no? Well then let's begin training."

The training was long and hard for everyone and went for three hours, of course this was only the beginning, these training sessions were to be held every other day, providing nothing prevented you from being able to disappear for three hours. Not much was learnt this session, the main goal was to get everyone used to fighting in a group, which was hampered by Claire's lack of fighting ability. She was trained by your mentor for most of the three hours while he also instructed the four of you on what you were doing right and wrong. There was a ten minute section of target practice to get everyone familiar with their sidearm and a half hour section dedicated to training everyone in their weapons.

After training the five of you were teleported into an abandoned alley near the mall. While walking out of the alley Daniel asked "So, how about we all grab lunch and get to know each other?" Everyone agrees and you all go into the mall heading for the foodcourt, you all get your lunch and sit down.

Any questions to ask your teammates?

----------------------------------
Well that took way longer then it should have.

"We need a theme song. Something that is so badass that the other guys run away in shame that they could never hope to beat us. Something that brings a tear to your eye." Thoughtful moment. "Best leave out the kazoo."

Sit down across from Amber, flirt a little. Make commentary on everyone's hair, speculate on why parents buy their eight-year-olds 'bling', and find out where everyone works. Memorize their faces in case the police need to know who it was that stepped on the Taco Bell with that pimply prick who never gives the correct change (not that we're premeditating or anything)

You sit across from Amber, with Daniel and Claire on you’re left and right respectively while Lex is sitting next to Amber. You decide to start the conversation "Gotta admit, this is looking like a pretty sweet deal. We just got free suits, weapons, and vehicles, along with an unofficial vigilante pass. We basically get to murder the shit out of stuff and pass it off as charity.

“Well we only get to murder aliens but yeah it is an awesome opportunity, never thought I’d be the guy in charge of leading the fight to protect Earth.”

“Yeah that sure was a shocker.”

“What’s that supposed to mean Amber?”

“It means you being chosen as the guy to be in charge of a team, let alone one that is supposed to save the Earth is a surprise, you may be smart but considering your ability to lose any trace of that intelligence when you get angry it seems better to put you as another colour.

“Well it’s not like he asked to be red, hell he didn’t have a choice,” off their looks you continue, “That guy who wanted to talk to me yesterday, Will Aston, yeah black Overdrive ranger, according to him the choice of ranger colour is determined by the morphing grid, which is apparently where we get our powers from. So Lex is the best suited out of all of us to be a leader apparently.”

Daniel quickly speaks up “What else did he tell you about our powers and this morphing grid?”

“Well I didn’t ask much about the morphing grid so I don’t have much of an idea as to what it is. However, I did ask about the colours and while he did say it was more complicated than he had time to explain but I got the basics. Red’s are the leaders obviously, Blues are the smart ones, though he did say that blue’s aren’t always the smartest on a team. Pinks are the only one’s that don’t really have a role, they are just themselves. Yellows are healers, and blacks, well apparently we are the gossips, which is partly why he had a talk with me yesterday, get me into the social circle.”

“I would be very interested in finding out more on how the colours work and what the morphing grid is, is there any chance you could get me in contact with Will.”

“Sure, I’ll just get your mobile number and then give it to him telling him you want info and he’ll get a blue to give you a call, in fact we should all switch numbers so we can all contact each other whenever necessary.”

You all copy add each other’s numbers to your phones, you telling Claire that Will said he’d get a yellow to contact her.

“So, do any of you like gladiator movies?”

“Of course, who doesn’t like gladiator movies?”

“I don’t Lex, you know that.”

“Okay who else doesn’t like gladiator movies?”

Daniel answered first “I don’t Lex, I much prefer Sci-fi movies.”

“I prefer comedies.”

“So most of you don’t like gladiator movies, okay, so since we’ve finished eating anyone have any plans for what to do next?”

Response?

-------------------------
Originally this was going to be longer with Lex and Daniel asking lots of questions, then I realised that would take forever so you're getting this.

"Well fearless leader seeing as how we aren't really used to working together or anything. I was thinking we'd go team laser tagging or possibly some other form of team bonding."

"Laser tag? That's a great idea." Lex turns to address the rest of the team, "What do you guys think."

The others all agree, though Claire looks like she's not thrilled with the idea.

"Maybe after that we could, I don't know, hang out somewhere quiet so we can get to each other? Though we might need to find our own little hang out spot outside of HQ."

"Well me and Amber rent an apartment that should be big enough to hold all of us is we just talk, plus we've got an awesome movie collection, we can go back there after laser tag sound good?" He scans the group who all give nods. "Right then let's go."

It's a short walk to the laser tag building and you all play a couple of games, winning all by working as a team. It's a twenty minute walk to Amber and lex's place and you all make meaningless conversations about movies and TV shows but once you get into their place you're able to discuss the important matters.

"We need a theme song. Something that is so badass that the other guys run away in shame that they could never hope to beat us. Something that brings a tear to your eye." You pause for a second, "Best leave out the kazoo."

Daniel laughs while the others just look at you like you've grown a second head, "I don't know if we could get a badass theme on the kazoo it would be even more humiliating when the bad guys run away."

"I like the way you think."

Lex shakes off his confusion "Okay let's be serious for a little bit." You and Daniel look annoyed at this, "While Laser tag can help improve teamwork if we're going to be taking on aliens We're going to have to know about each other's strengths and weaknesses."

You, Lex, and Amber spend the next five minutes discussing your martial arts experience, explaining them to Claire who has no martial arts experience, and Daniel who says he's only picked up a couple of things from his family, and working out how the two styles, Amber and Lex having studied the same style, can work in synch. You quickly realise this is something that can't be worked out quickly and plan to talk to your mentor? Sensei? Trainer? about it. You make a mental note to ask him his name as well.

Lex speaks to the room, "So anyone have anything they think would be important to know if we are going to be working as a team."

Response

---------------------------
Yes it's back, you can all thank the fact that doing anything other than typing currently hurts for this update and I plan to never let it go this long without an update again, let's see how long that lasts.

Okay so I've been trying to finish the conversation here for a long time but various ideas I've had mean that the info that was supposed to be revealed in this conversation will be put off until later. which meant most of the ideas I had for this convo couldn't happen, i tried to replace them but couldn't come up with anything so have this short update and expect a longer one within a week.
----------------------------------

"How secret are we going to make our secret identities? And also how are we going to cover our 'convenient' absences to people? We are not at the Daily Planet after all."

"Well first thing, do any of you still live with your parents," Claire says she does, "Okay I think it'll be best if you tell your parents, we don't want your parents getting the wrong idea when you come home with bruises at all hours." Claire agrees. "Now I know Amber doesn't so Daniel, Sean, do either of you have roommates who might worry about you two," you both say you don't. "Okay then we don't have to worry about that. As for friends I'm going to leave that to you guys if you believe that your friends won't go blabbing to everyone that your a power ranger and they won't interfere n any power ranger activities you can tell them. That being said I believe we should try and keep our identity secret from the greater public we don't need reporters interfering with our public life and if the bad guys find out who knows what they'd do." The thought of your friends and family in danger is enough to make you agree and apparently it was enough for everyone else as well.

"Anything else." You all shake your heads.

"Okay then, meeting adjorned."

------------------------------
What, if anything, do you want to do for the rest of today.

Let's escort Claire home, and offer her some training in our fighting style, after all, we need go talk with Sensei right?

If she agrees, let's take her with us to see sensei. If not, well, we should still head to sensei's.

Wanna tell sensei about our Power Ranger-hood?

Edit:
I need to make sure I got this straight, we're the hidden second-in-command whereby we step in whenever our leader is out of it? And whenever we need to step in, we need to make sure that what ever we do looks like sheer luck? =/

This should be interesting...

Vael's plan sounds go, but I don't think we should tell Sensei. Ask for more training though.
I want to be able to win without morphing most of the time.

About your role, you are supposed to make the enemy underestimate you, your team is able to know you do the stuff on purpose.

Also gonna need more than one vote on whether or not to tell your sensei about you being a ranger.
