Different Destinies

Wes looked around the peaceful Silver Hills, it had been about five years since he had served as a ranger, he still had the chronomorpher, but using it now wasn't exactly like when he worked with his teammates. He had wondered what might've happened if they could've stayed, especially if Jen would've stayed.

The last time he had seen her was four years ago, when out of nowhere three mutorgs had appeared and attacked. He, himself along with Eric had teamed up with the Wild Force rangers to defeat them, he had never expected his old buddies to come and help him destroy them. He had not even known of the fact that Jen had come back to catch those mutants, even worse she had not even tried to contact him. He could not think of a single reason why she didn't contact him after all he still had his morpher and could've helped her more than she gave him credit, but that was all in the past, well sort of, if you could see it like that after all Jen was from the future.

She had stayed only for a short while, after that incident she had been assigned that mission and since it was completed it was also her duty to report it back to Time Force officers. She had to go again. He had said goodbye to her before, expecting to never see her again, but somehow the tables had turned and he had seen her a few months after.

It had only been two days, two days wasn't enough for them to actually be together, it had never been enough anyways, he thought. But, gosh those two days were amazing, they were together, not one single moment apart, the numerous times he had her in his arms, not wanting to let her go. Then it came when she had to go, this time he made sure she wouldn't leave without a kiss that would make her think of him everyday. "I'm coming back Wes, I realize now that you're my destiny and I won't let you go even if I have to change time for that. I love you to much to live my life wondering what could've been."

That was four years ago, and yet still no word from her. He had at least expected her to come back a few weeks, heck even a year, that was how long she took the first time to come back. It was just way too long and nothing, no transmission, he had begun to think that maybe she had forgotten, no, that wasn't it, there was something else, still he would wait, even if it meant waiting a whole lifetime.

"Hey, Wes, what's wrong?" Eric asked him as he looked at the Silver Guardian coming towards him with a tray of food.

"Nothing, just thinking." He said, trying to look a little at ease.

"Well from what I can see, you don't look to good."

"I can't believe its been four years and I'm still thinking about Jen, I mean look around so many girls around and none of them seem to take my mind off of her." Wes said to the rather surprised Eric who looked around to see only uniformed guards of their team all taking a lunch break.

"You really are into her, there are no girls around here Wes. She's making you go crazy. You need to forget about her."

"But, how can I, she promised me she would come back."

"Maybe, something stronger than what she felt for you kept her. Maybe she found someone else, or maybe she never made it back."

"None of those could ever keep her from me, I mean they could, but I would think I would need some sort of explanation or something, why did she never contact me again since then?"

"I don't know Wes, I'm just in the same place as you, no way of telling you what happened."

"Yeah, I know, I guess I should be the one to contact her, then."

"Yes, please it would do us all a favor." Eric said as he motioned to the team of Guardians.

"I'll do it first thing in the morning." He said as he looked around noticing that it was time to go back to work.

The next day Wes awoke in his apartment. His dad had officially given him the deeds to the clock tower and he had remodeled it. It had taken some time, but it looked so muck like a home, some would wonder when it had ever looked so run down like it had years ago. He placed the trackers down after he had fixed himself up and had breakfast, he had tried to contact the future so many times, but backed out immediately, he wouldn't now. This time he was actually going to do it.

He had set everything up when suddenly a call from Eric came from the transmission screen across from the small coffee table he had set everything upon.

"Wes, something's wrong, there has been a mutant attack in the other side of town, I'm taking a few of the guys to check it out."

"What?" Wes asked confused, "This isn't supposed to happen, I thought Time Force had taken control of the mutant force. There is no way this is happening."

"Well, Wes, I think it is." Eric said not trying to sound to cocky.

This wasn't supposed to happen or was it? He thought. Without thinking any longer he grabbed his morpher and rushed out the door.

Wes quickly raced to where Eric was already morphed and trying to bring down a mutant.

"Time for, Time Force!" He yelled out running and morphing into that familiar red time force suit. He took out his chrono saber and began giving blows at the mutant who seemed a different fighter than what he was used to in a mutant.

"V weapon," he said ready to take aim and shoot at the mutant, "fire!"

Something happened, the blast from his V weapon hadn't even brought down the mutant, he looked completely intact as if he were wearing some sort of protective armor of some kind.

"Wes, remember those mutorgs?" Eric called out to him as they retreated to a safe spot.

"Yeah, what about them?"

"This one doesn't happen to be one of them, does it?" Eric asked.

"I don't think so, something is definitely wrong," Wes said as he nodded to Eric and both took out their blasters and shot once more at the mutant.

This time the monster stopped in its tracks and looked at them and disappeared into thin air.

"Huh?" They both sighed almost relieved that the mutant had left.

"Power Down!" They both yelled as they looked around them at the rest of the Silver Guardian Team with them some hurt and others helping others out.

"Wes, did you get the chance to contact the future?" Eric asked eager to know something about this new mutant.

"No, when you called me I was just about to." He said.

"Well, how about contacting them now." Eric said looking around and taking the scene in.

Both Wes and Eric drove to the clock tower in one of the black SUV's that Silver Guardians were accustomed to driving themselves around in. It seemed as if a lifetime ago they had battled mutants, nowadays they were used to much petty thieves or small protection jobs here and there that for a moment they thought they had lost the idea of how to fight a mutant.

"I hadn't fought like that since the mutorg incident Wes. I wonder why it feels as if I have no idea what I'm doing." Eric confided his thought to Wes as he parked right in front of the clock tower.

"I don't think that was it Eric, I mean all mutants have been captured and been set to chryogenic containment, there is no way this is possible. Maybe, it was an Org and that's why it felt a little weird to fight against it."

"I don't think so we've fought them before I couldn't have been fighting something else when I was sent to help out the Wild Force rangers." Eric said matter-of-factly remembering the time when his longtime ex-girlfriend Taylor had asked for his help when an Org had resurged.

"Well, I guess we're about to find out." Wes said aiming the power control at the middle of the beams and getting the screen to come up.

The screen came up and it looked different instead of going ahead and taking Wes to Tripp's main connection screen it had sent him to a menu, that had quite a few options, he quickly took a glance and notice that at right bottom corner it had directory. He pressed it and a list of names and screen codes came up, he scrolled through the screen looking for Tripp's name, but somehow a name caught his attention. Jen Drake. He was taken aback and he quickly scrolled to the S's and noticed there was no Jen Scotts. He dismissed it, maybe it was an error, he went back to look for Tripp's name and clicked on it once he found it.

Immediately, someone came over the screen, a someone he did not recognize.

"Welcome to Time Force Connection Screen Line, the person you are trying to contact is away for right now, if you would like to leave a message please press the message button otherwise redirect to the bottom of the screen and press one of the options."

Wes looked and pressed the directory button and seemed to be taken to the same page where he had found her name, and then he pressed the button and his life took a turn.

"WES!" He heard her call out his name. It was strange that somehow, she seemed too surprised, her eyes blinked more than once and she gave him a smile.

"Hey, Jen," he managed to say as his eyes took a hold of the pretty brunette sitting at the other end of the line. Her smile was still there, and he couldn't say another thing, all he could do was stare at the love of his life.

"Uhmmm……………" She said as she looked at him and then back at Eric.

"Well, no time for love reunions." Eric said pushing Wes out of the way and sitting down in front of the screen himself. "Hello, Jen," Eric started, "today there was an attack on the city, have any of the mutants escaped from the future?"

"Not that I've heard of, I mean all are in containment and so far there's only been two escapes, but luckily we were able to captured them here, other than that there hasn't been anything else."

"That's odd, a few hours ago, our team of Silver Guardians were dispatched to an area where there was a mutant attack, how can this be happening?"

"Well, Eric, all that I can tell you is that throughout time there were other power rangers, who also battled beings, who were trying to destroy humanity or trying to conquer it. Remember the Wild Force team, they battled Orgs. You might've just witnesses a monster attack from another ensuing battle." Jen informed Eric, who seemed to be feeling pretty stupid and looked over to Wes.

"That might be correct after all we did come across some kelzacks and ended up helping the Ninja rangers." Eric informed the pretty brunette who couldn't help but notice the quiet guy who had once been her one true love.

"Wes, what's up?" She asked looking over to him, Eric taking a cue immediately got up and left.

Wes looked at her for what seemed like forever, but then he broke the silence, "Why?"

"Why, what?" She asked him, noticing his stern face and almost crying eyes.

She gave a slight smile, not really knowing what was going on, "Are you playing a game with me?" She asked thinking he might just be fooling around.

"Jen, its been five years, well five at least for me and you still haven't come back or even contact me."

"Wes, what do you mean, I can't go back."

"Not come back, what do you mean?" He asked her back.

"Oh, then you haven't met each other yet, I would've thought by now…." She trailed off as he looked at her and she looked back, she was hiding something and he wanted to know what it was.

"I haven't met who?" He asked back.

"Nobody, I was just thinking out loud," she said in her old cold voice she wore when she had thought Alex gone, "and anyways I should probably be getting back to work, I can't believe I have so much to do. Goodbye Wes."

Just as she said that she was about to click out, but Wes managed to ask her one last thing.

"Why are you under Drake instead of Scotts?"

She looked him straight in the eye, for a moment he thought he saw he saw her blink some tears away, but the next moment she smiled and without thinking about it said, "I married Alex."
