Rise of a Ranger Power Rangers Dino Thunder Fanfic

White Thunder Part 1

Michael's point of view:

It was six am in the freaking morning and I'd been here for a while doing this crud with the Old Man it had been going on for the past week now because he says it will help me improve my skills and capabilities as a Ranger and now I was in fighting stance while the Old Man was just being in the defensive.

Michael: "You sure you wanna stay like that?"

Old Man: "Even in my old age, Michael, I'm still more than able to fight if that's what you're worried about."

I scuffed at the idea and said.

Michael: "Me, worried, ha! You wish."

I began looking around my surroundings to see what I can use to my advantage, but there was nothing to use, so I had to just resort to my fists. I charged at him with nothing, but raw strength and he was dodging them with ease it was pissing me off, so tried to kick him using my right leg, but he moved out of the way and this was just annoying me even more.

Michael: "Why can't I land a single hit on you!"

Old Man: "And like I always tell you, Michael, you just have to be patient. Now try to land a hit on me."

That line aggravated me to the core so I charged at the Old Man and prepared to punch him with all I had, but what I didn't realize was that I was caught right into his trap and he did a jump kick on me which caused me to fall to the ground and I said.

'Why do I always keep falling for that.'

Then he reached his hand to me and said.

Old Man: "Need a hand?"

I reluctantly took his hand then he told me.

Old Man: "Why don't we stop, for now, come sit with me."

I followed him to the wooden branch we were gonna sit in and now we're sitting on the branch and I asked him.

Michael: "Look, Old Man, we've been doing this for the past week, but to be frank with you, I'm not seeing any progress whatsoever."

Old Man: "You're doing good, Michael. You may not see it, but I know you are getting better."

Michael: "Yeah, sure I am, we didn't even turn into Rangers to fight each other and I still lost!"

Old Man: "You will be able to be better, it just needs time."

Michael: "Time? I don't think you remember, Old Man, but I wasn't supposed to be a Ranger. Just an unfortunate accident."

Old Man: "If you didn't want to be a Ranger then why did you stick around?"

Michael: "Fair trade, Harley saved my life from the gem and I help her with Ranger duties, I owe her, but I'm not like you guys. I was always just looking out for myself and was the strong one, the one with all the power until I saw those freaks and how easily they were able to beat me even with my Ranger powers, I was still not good enough. So if you wanna find a replacement or something, just get it over already."

Old Man: "Look, Michael, I don't know whether you're going to take this to heart or not, but I wasn't always as skillful as I am now, I had to learn through hard work, trial and error, and from my friends."

Michael: "Friends?"

Old Man: "You can't do everything alone, sometimes you just need the right people to help you."

Michael: "You and the power of friendship."

Old Man: "My point, Michael, is that through hard work, determination and practice. You will be able to accomplish anything that you set your mind to."
