Like most school days, Colton had barely paid attention in class as he found the subjects terribly boring. He questioned why he had even picked a law class, as it was definitely the least interesting subject he had ever taken. The only stimulating thing Colton did at school all day was getting his pulse up in physical education class. While most certainly not a jock, Colton did love keeping in shape, still taking karate lessons in his free time. He figured that it helped make him well rounded.

During his study period, Colton retreated to the Angel Grove High library. Once there he decided to just read some of his favorites. While he knew he should be studying for his social sciences test, Colton was not in the mood to go over various anthropological terms. Instead he grabbed the over sized hardcover of the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe, which was slightly related to his studies as they were going over him in English class.

While the works of Poe were freely available online as it was public domain, something about having an actual physical book in front of him made Colton feel nice. It was getting harder and harder to find new physical books, as many of the local book stores had closed in the last few years as ebooks and other mediums of media became more prevalent.

Regardless, Colton was able to enjoy his book, rereading The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar for the umpteenth time. His phone then chimed, reminding him that he still had one more class to attend. So Colton left the library and went to his biology class on the other side of the campus. The class was uneventful.

Once the school day was over, Colton made the conscious decision not to take the school bus home. He was in somewhat of a mood today and didn’t want to deal with his father right now. So instead he decided to walk home, taking the scenic path. That route brought Colton through a park popular with his fellow students.

Colton walked slowly through the park, taking in the greenery and creek that flowed through it. Eventually he came across his favorite part of the park, an abstract art statue placed on top of a water fountain. Colton liked to come here and relax to music while ignoring everything else in the world.

Colton took a seat next to the fountain, taking out his wireless ear buds. But before he put them in, he noticed that someone had left something next to the fountain. Turning to get a good look at it, Colton saw that it seemed to be a black watch with a dragon motif going on.

Curiosity overtook Colton as he picked up the watch. As he inspected it, Colton saw the watch do something strange as it automatically snapped itself around his wrist. This shocked Colton, causing him to rise to his feet.

[color=#8C308C]“What the hell?”[/color] wondered Colton.

But as Colton stared at the watch, his attention was overtaken by the sound of screaming. Colton whipped around to see a woman pushing a stroller as fast as she could. From behind her, a gray figure emerged. As it got closer, Colton recognized it as the same kind of monster he had seen in online videos. But Angel Grove hadn’t had a Power Ranger team in many years, so who would fight them?

Colton’s initial instinct was to run as well, but then he noticed that a wheel broke off the woman’s stroller, making it hard to move. But then the voice of Colton’s Sensei entered his mind. Part of learning how to defend oneself also involved helping others. Steeling himself, Colton ran toward the monster, placing himself between it and the woman with her child.

[color=#8C308C]“Come on then, you clay monster, or whatever you are,”[/color] said Colton.

The gray creature briefly paused to look Colton up and down, before charging the teen. Colton then began to ready his fist, only for the eyes of the dragon on the watch to begin to glow. Colton was then bathed in a dark light, armor forming over his whole body. He had suddenly become the Black Dragon Force Ranger.

[color=#8C308C]“Woah,”[/color] muttered Colton.

The monster paused once more after this transformation, before resuming its charge. In response, Colton swung his fist, finding that he could now move a lot faster. He wasn’t even focusing on the fact that he was now a Power Ranger, instead totally caught up in the battle with the monster.
