now it was no secret that Kyle was the least athletic of his fellow horde cadets, so damn bad in fact, nobody really CONSIDERS him a soldier. he has no idea WHY the horde drafted him at a young age if he's THIS useless or WHY anybody still bothers with him

  but thankfully he's not ALL that useless, believe it or not he's actually a pretty good idea giver for the horde's top strategist (*cough* *cough* CATRA *cough*) and a nice support for anybody that needs it. but does that equal to his battle expertise? unfortunately not

  well..........at least not until today, anyway

  "How is the projector coming along, Entrapta?" Hordak said, walking into the 'science room' as Entrapta would call it with his hands behind his back "still working on it, Lab Partner!" the ever so cheery pink haired girl said, Hordak smirked and let a chuckle rumble from himself "good, it'll only be a matter of time before my brother can bring his Forces here, the alliance will be no more. and then he'll FINALLY see I'm worth so much more then just 'being his clone'" He said, clenching his first as he stared at his (dramatic much?)

  "it just needs a few more tweaks and a few more wires to be arranged and all should be well," she said, turning back to her work

  "Good," He nodded, walking away, his mind racing with thoughts of victory and power. Hordak always did his best to prove himself, and today was the day! he'll be second to Horde Prime no more!

  but what he has for an army has a certain............odd man out

  Kyle was walking back to his room, his head down with 'humiliation' written all over his face. this was like the 35th time he was bested by someone who didn't even have half the training he had and he didn't even know why he was still here. he didn't know what he was doing wrong

  'why does anyone BOTHER with me?' he thinks to himself, turning a corner 'almost literally everyone has more skills then me, I'm not good for anything!'

  as he walked down the corridor he heard a strange noise, something he never heard before, it was a beep. his curiosity piqued he walked towards it and found the door to Hordak's throne room open a crack and that beeping sound coming from inside

  without thinking twice he pushed it open and saw something that looked like it could either end the universe or make him a sandwich

  it was a Dimensional Projector, something Hordak had been working on for a LONG time and something he was forbidden from even LOOKING at, let alone touching

  but here he was

  he walked closer, his hand hovering over a random button 'well, Hordak isn't around. eh, why not?' he wonders, his curiosity getting the better of him.

  he pushed it

  everything went haywire, the room around him turned into a whirl of lights and sounds

  "okay what did I just do?!" he asked himself in fear as he felt himself being sucked in.

  his world turned upside down as he felt himself falling into the abyss of dimensions.

  his eyes closed tight as he waited for the end, the end of his life, the end of his 'usefulness' the end of his existence.

  but it never came

  instead he felt his body smming onto sand, some of it getting into his eyes and mouth, making him cough and spit it out

  his eyes opened to reveal a desert like area, not something he's seen before in Etheria, and definitely not something he's seen in the Fright zone

  'Where the hell am I?' he wondered to himself

  just then he heard the roar of an engine and the pitter patter of metal feet. his eyes widened and he rolled over just in time to dodge a robot that looked like it was straight out of a sci-fi magazine

  his heart raced as he tried to get to his feet, looking around for anything to fight with, his eyes nding on a stick nearby.

  "Whoa! Hold it right there!" a voice called out, Kyle turned and saw a young man dressed in green spandex (don't tell Dr. K I said that), he had a small green axe in his hand and a strange look in his eyes

  "Who are you?" he asked, Kyle looked at him confused and terrified

  "I-I'm Kyle from the Horde! I just pushed a button and ended up here!" he said, holding the stick like it was the most powerful weapon in the universe

  the green ranger tilted his head "Horde? Never heard of it," he said, the costume fading off his figure

  "I don't know where 'here' is!" Kyle said, panic cing his voice

  "Welcome to the city of Corinth, or.......what's left of it" the ranger said, rubbing the back off his head

  "What?!"

  "I'm Ziggy Grover, and I'm a Power Ranger. the Green power rangers to be specific" he said, holding out his hand for Kyle to shake, Kyle just stared at it with wide eyes

  "A power what now?"

  just then, ser bsts start firing at them "bugger! get down!" Ziggy shouted (yes, I'm making Ziggy British cause at some points he DOES sound like he is) and the two hit the sand as the squadron of robots shot at them

  "What is that?!" Kyle yelled as they rolled away from the shots

  "grinders!" Ziggy shouted back, pulling out a device and strapped it to his wrist "get behind me Kyle!" he said, he then opened the top part of the device and inserted a small cartridge of some sort, then he pushed the bck lever-like up with his finger slightly. "RPM! GET IN GEAR!" he shouted and was suddenly encased in the same green costume, the same green axe forming in his hand

  "WHAT THE HELL?!!" Kyle shouted as he saw the transformation "i'll expin ter! just stay behind me!" Ziggy shouted as he rushed towards them, axe in hand

  the Grinders opened fire as he swung his axe around, slicing through them like a hot knife through butter

  "Wha-what are you?!" Kyle asked, his eyes wide with shock

  "A ranger! I just said that!!" Ziggy called back, dodging ser bsts

  "But no ordinary human can-"

  "didn't SAY I was ordinary, mate. now watch this twisted shit" Ziggy said as he leaped into the air, doing a flip and smmed the axe into the ground, the sand around them rising and forming into a giant sandstorm, taking the grinders with it

  once the sand cleared, the grinders were gone "Wha- i- you- HOLY SHI-"

  "AB BAB BAB BAB BAB BAB!" Ziggy said as he put a finger up to Kyle lips "you from a kids show, remember?"

  "oh, right" Kyle chuckled and he rubbed the back of his head

  but then, something - scratch that, someone - even worse was coming

  " *sigh* to think sending Grinders would still work" a woman said

  "Tenaya 5?!, oh for queen's sake, why do you keep following me?!" Ziggy groaned, readying his axe

  "Because it's fun!" she said, her gun arm turning into a whip-like weapon, crackling with electricity

  Kyle looked at her with horror, his heart racing.

  "find yourself some cover Kyle, i'll handle her!" Ziggy said as he charged at her

  Kyle nodded and took off, his legs shaking with fear and adrenaline

  as he ran he saw a rge rock formation, he dove behind it just as the whip connected with the rock, causing sparks to fly everywhere

  his mind raced with thoughts of what to do, how to help, when suddenly he heard another sound, a strange beep that was eerily familiar

  his eyes widened, 'the projector!' he thought, he had to find it

  so he took off again, dodging grinders and stray whip shes

  finally he saw it, the same button he pushed earlier was sticking out of the sand, half buried, it looked like it was damaged

  without thinking he grabbed it and ran back to Ziggy, "ZIGGY! I have an idea!"

  "that idea better come with a pne, mate!" he said, barely dodging another swing of the whip

  Kyle took a deep breath and aimed the projector at Tenaya, "hold her for me!"

  "what are you doing?!"

  "Just hold her!"

  Ziggy grunted and swung his axe, knocking her down, rushing to Kyle "alright Kyle, bst her"

  Kyle pushed the button again..........they warped instead of her, these two really can't catch a break

  they wake up to find themselves ina cave of some sort, the orange dusk sky and the spshing waves of an ocean outside, "where are we now?" Ziggy asked, groaning

  "I don't know," Kyle said, looking around, his heart still racing "but i'd rather not be living in a cave, let's try to find a city or something"

  after what felt like an enternity, they finally find a small orphanage. they decide to check is it's abandoned and, as it turns out, it was

  "we should stay here for the night" Ziggy said, Kyle looked at him confused "at an orphanage?"

  "well it's better then nothing" Ziggy shrugged "besides, i'm an orphan myself, i'm pretty familiar with the yout"

  Kyle nodded and they made themselves at home, Ziggy expining what a power ranger is and what they do

  "so, you fight for good, and protect the innocent?" Kyle asked

  "yeah, basically" Ziggy nodded, a small smile pying on his lips

  "That's amazing," Kyle said, his eyes lighting up for the first time since he arrived here "I want to be like that too!"

  Ziggy chuckled "you're already doing a pretty good job" he said, patting him on the shoulder "now, let's get some rest, we've gotta find some things to refurbish this pce"

  they decided to look around and find some beds, there is no way in hell they're sleeping on couches
