The snow is falling heavily outside the window, blanketing the suburban neighborhood in a thick, white layer. The room is warm and cozy, lit by the glow of a large Christmas tree and a movie playing silently on a TV.
You are having a sleepover with your friends named Keith,Cherry,Pico,Sky and the Spooky kids Skid and Pump at Keith's cabin. You have all been scattered around the room in sleeping bags and on couches. The room is comfortable,the fireplace all set to warm them up after their long day on their Jobs.
Keith is a rapper,Pico is a police officer,Cherry is a waitress,Sky is a ballet dancer and the Spooky kids are in snuggle duty at the studio.
Pico:Watch out for the ice trap,Softie. You know how you always mess that up.
Keith:Not this time! I've been practicing. Since elementary school,remember?
Pico snorts a laugh as Keith's character slips and crashes anyway.
Pico:Still a noob.
Skid and Pump tumble past them.
Skid:We have to protect the Earth! Like Power Rangers!
Pump:Yeah! The good guys always win over evil!
Cherry looked at Skid and Pump with an eye roll as she typed on her phone. She is ordering McDonald's for delivery.
Cherry:Are you guys still on that kick? They aren't real,you know?
Sky:You can't prove that. Besides,the idea of people working together for a greater good is inspiring.
The front door suddenly bursts open, letting in a gust of freezing wind and some snow. The friends jump,including you,startled.
Keith:Whoa! Who forgot to lock the door?
A man stands in the doorway, bundled up in a heavy winter coat, his face obscured by a hood and scarf. He looks frantic and cold.
Man:You... you have to take these! The snow spirit is coming! The season is ending!
He throws a small,ornate wooden box onto the floor and immediately turns and runs back into the storm. Pico is the first to reach the box. It's covered in unfamiliar,swirling,icy patterns.
Pico:"The snow spirit"? "The season is ending"? What's his deal?
Keith:Maybe it's some sort of weird social media challenge? Cherry,check online.
Cherry:Hold on.
Cherry finally pressed the button for their McDonald's orders on delivery. It should be here in a few minutes so she swiped her phone to go on social media.
Cherry:Nothing. Just...the weather forecast says this blizzard is here to stay until summer. Which is impossible.
Skid and Pump crowd around Pico, who carefully opens the box. Inside, sitting on velvet, are six smooth, ice-blue, hexagonal devices, each with a different snowflake-like symbol and a distinct color trim.
Pump:Morphers...
Keith:They're just toys,Pump.
He reaches in and picks up the red one. The moment his fingers touch it, a jolt of energy shoots up his arm. The symbol glows brightly. The other five instinctively reach for the devices matching their clothing colors. The same energy pulses from each as they grab them. You are getting curious as well as you gotten closer to the box.
Sky:Okay,that's not a toy.
Suddenly, all the devices begin to BEEP in unison. A robotic,calm voice emanates from each one.
Robotic voice:The winter power is yours. To protect the balance,speak your call.
Keith looks at Pico,then at the others. He feels an undeniable pull,a sense of destiny he's never felt before.
Keith:Well,we've always said we'd do anything to protect each other.
Pico:Yeah. Let's do this.
Cherry:Hey? Could you protect the fort till we get back to our adventure? We will call you if we need you.
You slowly nodded in response. You are a little disappointed that you didn't get a morpher but you're glad your friends are going on missions to save the world. Keith nodded at you before he raises his Morpher high. The others followed suit.
Others:Winter Storm,Ranger Form!
A blinding light fills the room, as six beams of colored energy shoot up through the ceiling and into the snowy sky,signaling the arrival of Earth's newest heroes. They suddenly get teleported as if the Morphers are sending them on their first mission.
