At the cafeteria, a small group of hungry students are standing in line. Noah, Leila and Connor are waiting in the middle of the group.

Noah: (elated) It's lunch time! Man, I'd take anything at this point.

Leila: Would an unbaked potato count as 'anything'?

Noah: (gives her a 'seriously?' look) No.

Connor: Let's just focus on getting something to eat, OK? I know what I'm having.

Noah moves forward, accidently bumping into a taller, burly teenage boy. He turns around, glaring at Noah.

Noah: (embarrassed) Hehe, sorry.

Burly student: You think it's funny, you little punk?

Noah: Ahh, no. No, no, no. I was just embarrassed. (the burly student approaches him) I said I'm sorry.

Burly student: Oh, you're sorry? (grabs Noah by the shirt) I'll show you 'sorry'. (he pulls Noah as Noah struggles to break free from his powerful grip)

Noah: Hey, let go! Let go of me! (Leila intervenes, pulling Noah away from the burly student)

Leila: Knock it off! He said he was sorry! So can you please drop it?

Burly student: He bumped into me.

Leila: It was an accident! Now apologise to him for what you did.

The burly student looks Leila in the eye, then glares at Noah. He looks at Leila, glaring at him intensely.

Burly student: (tuts) Whatever.

Leila glares at the burly student as he walks away.

Leila: The nerve of that guy.

Connor: Well, at least no one got hurt. Are you alright, Noah?

Noah: Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for the save, Leila. (Leila nods and smiles) OK. Who's hungry?

The camera zooms out again. The ivory-haired man stares at the computer, then looks down on the medallions in his hand. Flashes of green, red and blue emit from them. The man gasps as he looks on in shock.

Man: Hmm.

Later, the trio is in the music room ready to play their instruments. Noah plays with the drums and cymbals for a bit, Leila briefly strums her electric guitar and Connor sings some random words.

Noah: Looks like you still got it, Connor.

Connor: Yeah, (sings) those warmups really helped out a lot. (speaks) Too bad the next classes were cancelled.

Leila: Yeah. Hey, Connor. Maybe you should do your warmups.

Connor: Right now? (Leila nods. A sweat drop appears on Connor's head) Hehe, OK then.

Noah: Leila, do your thing. (Leila strums G-major chord)

Connor: (sings) Lah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. (goes up a note and repeats the same scale up to a middle C. Then the fire bell rings.) (speaks) Huh?

Noah: What's going on?

Leila: Is that the emergency bell? We need to get out here.

Connor: Move quickly. (they leave the room)

As the children walk briskly to find the exit, the ivory-haired man appears. He calls out to them.

Man: Perhaps I can be of assistance. (the children turn to the man. He is wearing long white blouse under his white lab coat, black denim jeans and white sneakers) Follow me. (the children anxiously follow him)

Connor: Do you know where the exit is, sir?

Man: Call me Professor. And no more questions. (the group of four pass and turn away from the fire exit)

Leila: Sir, we just passed the fire exit. (the man ignores her) Where are you taking us?

Noah: (to Leila) Ever think there's something strange about that guy?

Leila: (worriedly) Yeah. I wonder he wants with us. Whatever it may be, I'm scared.

A door opens and the group of four walks into a dark room. The man locks the door. Leila gasps in fear. He turns to the trio.

Professor: Don't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you.

Noah: (angrily) OK, that's it! Who are you and what are you up to?

Professor: My name is Eugene Douglas, but you may call me Professor. I would like to show you something.

Noah: (disgusted) Oh, no! No, no, no, no. Whatever it is you have to show us, we are NOT interested. If you think we're going to play a part in your sick, twisted fantasies, think again! (the man flicks a switch, revealing to be a technological command centre with computers, pods and gadgets) OK, so you're into technology. But it still doesn't change anything, old man!

Professor: (turns around to face Noah) I am not an old man.

Noah: (feigning innocence) But the white hair says you're old.

Professor: (Angered) I'm thirty-two years old!

Noah: Oh, so you must have suffered from some kind of science lab accident? (the Professor grits his teeth and growls)

Connor: Before we take things a step too far, may I ask you something? Why did you bring us here?

Professor: I brought you all here to tell you that the town is under attack.

Noah: What's the cause of the attack, Professor?

Professor: It is caused by a group of creatures called Shadow Bods, from the Shadow Kingdom.

Connor: And you want us to stop them.

Professor: Correct. (he goes over to a chest to take out the three medallions)

Noah: Why couldn't those guys just pop over to say 'hi'? We would have been nice back.

Connor: They're not like us, Noah. They are creatures from another dimension.

Professor: Right you are. (he approaches the children and gives them the medallions) Take these with you. They possess great power.

Noah: (dully) And with great power comes great responsibility.

Connor: (holding the blue medallion) So, if we wear these medallions, they will turn us into superpowered beings destined to protect the world from the forces of evil?

Professor: (approaching Connor) How did you know that?

Connor: Just a hunch. And Saturday morning cartoons.

Noah: I think we all need to lay off the cartoons for a while.

Professor: It is up to you how you use this power. Right now, the world needs you to protect it. You three are our only hope. Can you all be the heroes the world needs?

Noah: Yeah, OK. Let me think... no thanks.

Connor: (concerned) Noah...

Noah: How do we know that he IS the real deal? He could be one of those guys, keeping victims like us behind closed doors, for his own personal benefits. (with a face of thunder, the Professor raises his glasses, but we don't see his eyes.) OK, so he is definitely not one of those guys. (the Professor puts his glasses back down)

Connor: So... how do we get to their destination?

Professor: Step into those pods. (they approach and enter the pods) Medallions on? (they put the medallions on)

C, L and N: Got them on!

Professor: (pleased) All right, then. Let's do this. (he presses three buttons, causing the pods to close from the floor down. He then pulls the lever, and a flash of lights emerge from the metallic techno-pods)

The new heroes reach their destination and are shocked to see how things have turned out. Dining cafe tables and chairs turned over and thrown.

Noah: Look at this place. Those thugs have the nerve! (sees a scared man running for his life) Sir, what's going on here?

Scared man: It's the end of the world! The aliens are coming! (screams and runs in panic)

Noah: Uh-huh. (notices a green flashing light wrapped around his arm, turning into a wristwatch communicator) Hey, guys. 

Noah shows the duo his wristwatch communicator. They look on in shock and confusion.

Connor: Where did this come from?

Professor: I almost forgot about these. You can use it to communicate with me or each other.

Noah: (to Connor and Leila) You guys have them too. (they look on in amazement)

Leila: Wha-

Connor: Incredible!

Professor: The Shadow Bods are getting closer. Stay on your toes.

The trio searches the area. Then a black puddle begins to form on the street.

Noah: Guys, look. (a man wearing a grey gas mask -- with yellow lights emerging from each lens -- and a dark grey skin-tight suit emerges from the puddle) Is that... one of the Shadow Bods?

Shadow Bod: Groan. 

Noah: Hey, buddy. How's it going? (the Shadow Bod runs towards him) Uh oh! Here comes trouble. Yaaaahhh!! (Noah runs to the Shadow Bod to attack it, but it grabs Noah and throws him in the air. Noah crashes to the ground) Huh? Whoooaaahhh!! Aaahhhh! Ugh! Aw, man. Definitely not the kind of reaction I was expecting.

Connor notices a black puddle near him.

Connor: (to Leila) Get back! (Leila steps back, only to be stopped by another Shadow. Leila yelps in fear.) Run!

Leila escapes before the two Shadow Bods grab Connor, who is unsuccessfully trying to break free from their grip. Leila sees this and intervenes.

Leila: Hey, you leave him alone! (grabs the Shadow Bod holding onto Connor's right arm) HEY! Look at me! (the Shadow Bod -- on Connor's right side -- looks at Leila as she gives him a right punch to the face. It holds its face in pain) That's what you get!

The other Shadow Bod and Connor are struggling to overcome one another, then Connor's blue medallion begins to glow.

Connor's mind: What? My medallion's acting up. It's... telling me to transform. But how? How do I do that? (pushes the Shadow Bod onto the ground) That has to be a way for me to transform. Wait... a key phrase? What IS the key phrase? (the Shadow Bot slowly recovers and approaches him) No time to waste, I have to say something... ANYTHING. I've got it.

Connor: Alright, here goes. Power Up, Speed! (the medallion flashes and a bright blue light envelops him, blinding the near Shadow Bod) What?

Leila, Noah and the other two Shadow Bods watch in astonishment.

Connor's mind: This must be it. The key phrase that triggers the transformation.

The light vanishes and Connor is in his Power Warrior form. As he examines himself, he sees that he is wearing light blue and laced sneakers, dark blue denim jeans, dark blue fingerless gloves with rectangular holes in the back, a blue vest (with a jewelled circle in the centre of a bigger metallic circle) and a blue visor. His short brown hair is now blue, in the shape of Noah's hairstyle.

Noah: (astonished) Whoa.

Leila: What happened to your clothes? Your hair?

Connor: (smiling) I've done it.
