Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers.
A/N: Another idea that's been in my head for awhile. I noticed a severe shortage of
fics about Jason, Zack, and Trini in Switzerland, so I decided to
contribute a little bit. Of course, because it's me, there's got to
be some crazy adventure involved.
"Who knows, you guys might just save the world!"
"Yeah, but from Switzerland this time!"
-The Power Transfer, Part 1
"I call window seat!!!" Zack Taylor yelled as he ran down the airplane's aisle.
"No way, that's not fair! I called it back in the car!" Jason Scott yelled, running right behind him.
"Doesn't matter! It's gotta be in sight!" Zack yelled right back as he claimed the seat, only to be tackled by Jason, who instantly began punching him on the arm over and over as they fell to the floor. "It's gotta be in sight!!!"
Trini sighed as she followed after the two of them. This was going to be a really long flight. She slowly walked down the aisle, watching as some of the other California delegates turned their heads to the scene that the flight attendants were unsuccessfully trying to break up. It was six in the morning, and instead of going to bed last night, Jason and Zack had stayed up the entire night, keeping themselves awake with insane amounts of caffeine. The result? A very...VERY interesting trip through the airport.
The three of them were Angel Grove's delegates for the World Peace Conferences. This was the biggest year, and cities from all over the world were sending their own representatives. There was a Teen Summit, which they were involved in, along with a huge gathering of politicians from all over the world. To be chosen was an incredible honor. Trini had always wanted to go and help out there, it was just in her nature. Zack had been enthralled by the idea as well, and quickly signed up at the same time. Jason joining was a bit of a surprise to everyone. Despite being chosen for his natural leadership ability, he was always the kind of guy that liked to get out and fix things himself, not sit around and talk about them. That was more true than anyone ever knew.
Jason, Zack, and Trini had been the Power Rangers ever since the monster attacks on Angel Grove had begun. Only recently had they transferred their powers to the ones that would continue the battle against evil for them. They really missed it, and not having their morphers anymore was really disturbing the three of them. Now they knew what Tommy had gone through.
"Alright! Alright guys!" Trini said, pushing past the flight attendants and breaking them up herself. She knew she had to be the peace keeper, now. She was already missing Billy. She missed Tommy and Kim, too, but they'd be joining in the madness, while Billy would be helping her out. "Look, it's a really long plane ride...we're going to the other side of the planet. How about Jason has the window the first half of the flight...then Zack had it the second half?"
"No way, that's not fair!" Zack yelled, curled up on the floor below the window, while Jason was sprawled across all three seats. Trini wondered if they realized they were giving hyperactive toddlers a good name. "He gets to see the country and I get to see the ocean."
"You get to see Europe, too, Zack!" Trini reminded him.
"He gets more. It's not fair," Zack said, not moving.
"Oh, come on!" Jason said. "You're just mad that I called the window seat and got it fair and square."
"No you didn't!" Zack yelled. "It's got to be in sight! Those are the rules! Where's a phone? I'm calling Kim..."
"Alright you know what! I call window seat!" Trini declared, but the two looks she got made her change her mind instantly. "Uh...ok. Look, they'll be playing a movie. Aisle seat has a better view. I think they're playing the whole Indiana Jones trilogy."
It was silent for a minute while Jason and Zack locked eyes. Instantly Jason turned to get a better hold on the seat his feet were on, while Zack dove for it. In the middle of it, Trini was knocked right into some other delegates, while the two of them fought for the seat like three year olds.
"Mine! It's mine!"
"It's gotta be in sight!"
"It WAS in sight!"
"I touched it first!"
"My feet were already on it!"
"Feet don't count!"
"QUIT MAKING UP RULES!!!"
Three hours later, they were in the air. Trini was sitting in the middle seat, with Jason on the aisle seat to her left and Zack in the window seat to her right. She was trying to read a book, but the two men she was trapped with for what would seem like an eternity were sound asleep, with their heads on each of her shoulders. Oh, and they were snoring. She had been wondering how long it would take for all that caffeine to wear off.
The former Yellow Ranger thought about how the trip had gone up until now. Airport security, the plane crew, and most of the delegates probably hated them by now. Oh, she would make the two of them regret this when they made it to Switzerland. But...they were in the air and they were finally sleeping...so the worst was over.
Just as she was thinking that, Jason reached over in his sleep and pulled her into a huge bear hug, effectively trapping her. She tried to get free for a minute...but quickly gave up. Ignoring the looks she was getting from some of the other passengers, she held her book up at an angle and leaned against her former leader, deciding this would work just as well.
A long trip indeed.
"FOOL!!!" Lord Zedd screamed in rage as Scorpina made her way into his command chamber. "I heard good things about you! Tales of conquering worlds and killing the finest warriors to ever breath. And you get defeated by the Power Rangers, just like everyone else!"
"Have you ever considered that they are the universe's finest warriors?" Scorpina snapped back at the evil overlord.
"They have three rookies on the team!!!!" Lord Zedd roared, causing Scorpina to actually take a step backwards. "Three wet behind the ears rookies!!! This was our chance!!! Our chance to win! And you blew it!"
"Well give me one more chance and I'll end this for good!" Scorpina said, her voice full of that usual determination.
"No!" Lord Zedd yelled. "I have something better planned for you."
"What...?" Scorpina hesitantly asked. She didn't like the sound of that.
"You're going to Switzerland," Lord Zedd said, turning to look at the planet he longed to conquer.
"What the hell is in Switzerland!?" Scorpina demanded.
"Jason, Zack, and Trini," Lord Zedd said. "They aren't getting off the hook just because they're hopping to the other side of the planet. I want you to infiltrate the Peace Conferences and kill them for good."
"What a joke," Scorpina said, laughing it off. "A human could accomplish that assignment."
"Then do it as a human!" Lord Zedd yelled, turning and pointing his staff at her. A blue energy came from her body and went right into the staff, causing it to glow for a second before returning to normal.
Scorpina just stared in shock. All of her powers and abilities...gone. Into that staff! "Lord Zedd!"
"I need your powers to create monsters powerful enough to destroy the Rangers!" Lord Zedd yelled. "You are an assassin, this should prove to be only a mild challenge to you!"
"Lord Zedd...if you want me to be able to effectively eliminate them as quickly as possible..." Scorpina said, one step away from begging for her powers back.
"I don't care how long it takes! Drag it out! Make it painful! But know this," Lord Zedd interrupted. "If you don't return here with all three of their heads...go ahead and remove yours to save me the trouble. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, Lord Zedd," Scorpina bitterly said, lowering her head a little bit.
"Good! Now GO!" Lord Zedd yelled, firing a bolt from his staff into her. She was teleported down to earth...to Switzerland.
Trini woke up some time later from a bright flash and a clicking sound. She looked down to see that she had fallen asleep in Jason's arms, who was also stirring from the brief change in the environment. She looked over to Zack...who was smiling and holding a camera.
"Boy, I can't wait to write my first letter to Kimberly!" he happily announced.
"You wouldn't!" Trini said, eyes wide. She finally pulled herself free from Jason's grip, knowing full and well that Kim would never let them live it down. The Pink Ranger knew there was nothing between Trini and Jason...but now that they weren't around her every day there was no telling what conclusions she would jump to.
Zack just snickered and put away his camera. Trini rolled her eyes. She would deal with him later.
"Are we there yet?" Jason asked, finally starting to wake up. Hearing that phrase made Trini want to bash her head into the seat in front of her...but she maintained her calm, serene expression.
"No," she replied, and Zack looked out the window.
"Hey, we're over the ocean now," the former Black Ranger reported, and his two comrades nodded.
"Man...I missed Indy," Jason said as he looked at the TV screen, noticing some romance movie was on. Boring!
"Well, I got some playing cards," Zack said, pulling a deck of Power Ranger themed cards from his backpack. Jason and Trini grinned at the sight of them.
"Where did you get those...!?" Trini asked, staring at them in amazement.
"Airport shop. Pretty cool, huh?" Zack replied.
"Very," Jason said with a nod. "Alright, let's play something."
Zack laughed as he opened the deck, and started shuffling the cards.
"We are now landing in Geneva, Switzerland. Please make sure to fasten your seat beats and prepare for landing. Once again, we thank you for choosing Angel Air," the stewardess said over the announcement system, a good while later.
"Finally!" Jason said, stretching out in his seat. Trini had successfully embarrassed the two of them in several rounds of Poker and Blackjack, so they had given up on that. They'd introduced themselves to a few of the other delegates, who were still just a little bit hesitant around them. The ride had been all around pretty boring, and they were glad to finally be here. After all, traveling halfway across the planet was not a short trip.
"About time," Zack said, looking out the window. He was pretty happy he'd managed to hang onto this seat the whole trip, but Jason had done a lot of sleeping...so it didn't matter too much.
The plane touched down, shaking a little bit on landing, but a huge smile formed on Trini's face. She looked to Jason, then Zack, and finally up at the ceiling.
"Here we are, guys...Switzerland. A whole new adventure."
A/N: The last thing I need is another story to work on...but I just couldn't resist. Let me know what you think.
