Dr. Loe unfolded the paper and several children tensed up. Finally, he spoke, almost emotionless but with a faint trace of excitement.

"We would like to announce our chosen children for this wonderful yet dangerous experiment. These children will be picked to carry on the human race, to help deal with criminals, poaching, and so on. The names of these children are..." Everyone held their breath. "Xander Karls, Leo Narmeck, Jay Turner, Belinda Qua, Kit Leon, and Gigi Lonnz." The six kids' mouths dropped wide open. Then, one by one, they shuffled towards the podium and climbed the short stairs in order of which they were called. Xander: dark brown hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, troublemaker. Leo:

Dear Gigi, Jay, Xander, Belinda, Kit, and Leo,

"Now, kids, could you please repeat your animals?" he asked. The answers he got were bear, lion, hawk, tiger, wolf, raccoon. "Good," he answered. "Now, we're going to inject you with their DNA. So, I will have you march one by one into the room, and lie on separate beds. Shoo!" He pushed them into the next room, where the door was shut behind them.

Belinda was yapping away to her friends about how she had the best animal and nothing could get past her. As if to prove her wrong, Gigi slowly slid under the table, subconsciously melding into a raccoon, and swiftly and sneakily snatched Belinda's lunchbag off the table in one swipe, then quietly retook her place at the table, melding back. No one noticed. "And so, I'm, like, the most dangerous-" Leo saw what Gigi had done out of the corner of his eye and smirked. "Save it," he snapped at Belinda. "Looks like someone stole your lunchbag." Belinda flipped her hair and looked down at where her lunchbag was.

Belinda smelled something funny. She looked across the street and saw a shadow running across the street, and it looked to her that he was holding a knife. Then she figured out what the smell was. Blood. Not animal blood...just blood. Belinda, without realizing it, had lept off the ten foot high rooftop and landed on the ground, softly. Since it was slightly cold out, she shivered. Brushing her arm, she felt something soft. Looking down, she saw striped fur. "Ack!" she said a little loudly. The figure with the knife stopped and looked at her. He was startled when he saw a half tiger, half human creature not fifteen feet away. He shook his head. 'Must be really scared to be seeing things,' he thought, and moved on, only to be blocked by...a wolf? The wolf growled and stared at him, ready to attack. "What the-" he started when he got pounced on by something fairly heavy. "Oof!" The wind got knocked out of him, and he quickly scrabbled up. He looked behind him and saw a full-grown tiger, snarling. Looking in front, the wolf was looking past him, at the tiger. It tilted its head, then shook it and, without warning, leaped and pushed the man down onto the road. The tiger bit down on his hand and he cried out in pain as he dropped the knife. His head was spinning now, and then got blury. Just before he blacked out, he heard a girl's voice say, "Okay, get the knife and lets get out of here."

"Well, that was swell. We did it again my fellow friends!" She punched a fist in the air. "Yeah!" the others did the same.

Belinda and her friends were chatting in a corner together. Leo felt his neck crack. "Ooh ow, that hurt." Xander stood up, his legs a bit shaky. "Okay, all you Teen-morphers, we're gonna go out-*yawn*-and fight crime." Leo cocked his head to one side. "Teen what? Did you just call us Teen-morphers? Well, I suppose that answers our problem of what we're gonna call ourselves." Xander blinked.

Jay looked thoughtful. "The Power Rangers?" Everyone cracked up.
