Part 1:
...
Last time...
Austin starts feeling dizzy again. Everything starts fading around him again. The scene turns to him being backstage at a concert. He looks out, trying to not fall over. He sees the back of a blonde haired singer.
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey, momma rock me
He moves his head to the side, in a 'not bad' motion. The singer turns to his right, while moving forward stage left, guitar in hand. Austin thinks he sees...himself.
'What?' he asked himself.
He looks out in the audience & sees Ally, who's sitting at one of the tables, clapping to the rhythm with the other people. The guy singing walks down the stage, then sings to her. He has an earpiece mic on his ear, so it's not so awkward.
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
Caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke
But he's a heading west from the Cumberland gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free
He then studies back up on stage. He winks, as if he could see Austin. Austin sees his face clearer now. He may be aged a little, but it's...him...?
'What?' Austin asks himself again.
The scene fades again. Austin then sees a steel room around him & he's inside a glass cage. A door in the cage opened. A bald man came in the room, then spoke with a calm voice.
"Mr. Austin Moon, I presume. We've been waiting for you."
Fringe theme plays...
"What?"
"I am Constantine. You may know us as...The Observers from your universes' TV show, Fringe."
"What am I doing here?"
"A fair question. We've been studying the timelines of parallel universes for years & we've noticed some...irregularities with your universe. Particularly, you."
"Me?" he says, closing his eyes & rubbing them.
"Headache? A mild side effect of the transporter device we've developed to bring you here for study."
"Study?"
"Yes. We need to learn what makes you so significant compared to others in your universe. We started by building the machine you're in. As you were too precious to lose, we did initial tests to be sure it would be safe for most humanoids, like yourself, so we sent a few agents to your universe. Another piece of technology we built, was a viewer into parallel universes & even alternate timelines, as Walter Noble built back in the 1980s and subsequently set off the events that have transpired here in these 2 universes we occupy."
"A viewer into..." he stopped, when Constantine started to mimic him.
"Really, must your species question everything before we tell the whole story? As I was saying, we also did some other experiments. We instructed our agents to do 2 things; steal the prophylactics from your bedroom & have your mate subsequently leave you. They carried out our orders &, in the process, created 2 more timelines; 1 that carried on before we interfered & one where your mate got pregnant & stayed with you. Unfortunately for you, you were part of the one you have experienced. Apologies for the inconvenience caused."
"'Apologies-' you made me get Ally pregnant, then made her leave!? I knew I didn't run out of condoms that quick. I've been without her for a while, you bastards! I ought'a tear your heads off!"
"You would be justified in doing so, but there's more to the story. We had that blonde female, Penny, I believe, be hypnotized into sleeping with you because we wanted to test our machine at the time. If anyone were reading your life as a story, it would've looked like it was an out-of-character moment, especially because of what you said earlier in the day & the fact that, in the original way that part of your life played out, that never happened. Then, we retroactively changed that one small thing in your life, so now it happened. Again, apologies."
"You mean that wasn't a dream!?"
"Yes, exactly. We interfered in your love life with your mate because we had a theory; if we could create 2 separate timelines, we would be able to view them & view the progress our alternate selves potentially now. On your right is the timeline where we did not interfere at all, on your left is the timeline where we interfered only the 1st time. There's also the potential timeline where you did not get your mate pregnant, as probability would dictate, but we knew it would not be much unlike the non-interfered timeline, so we choose to ignore it."
Austin looked to his right, then left & saw his alternate selves do the same.
"A side effect of the interference, is that we also cannot skip ahead in the timelines, as they are all happening concurrently with one another, so we are unable to predict the random elements of the futures we have created here. Release him," he said & the few others in the room hit buttons, which opened the doors to the chamber. Austin stepped forward. "Now, if you will come with me..."
Austin smirked. He still had his pirate coat on & forgot to give Marvelous his ranger key & mobirate back. He grabbed them fast out of his pocket & flipped them both.
"Gokai change!" he yelled & put the key in the mobirate & turned it. He transformed into Gokai red.
Gokaiger!
After he transformed, he flipped the belt buckle, pulled out a ranger key, & turned it in the mobirate.
"Gokai change!"
Timeranger!
He transformed into the TimeFire ranger.
"Ha! DV Defender!" he yelled & ran out of the chamber, then blasted it.
"Restrain him!"
"Gokai change!"
Go-Onger!
He transformed then sped out. The Observers tried to restrain him by keeping up with him with their time-travel powers, but he'd always shoot them with the gun that belonged to the powers, causing them to retreat. He slid down the long corridors, before coming to a door. Constantine appeared before the doorway. Austin pulled out another ranger key & used it.
Jetman!
He was Red Hawk & immediately took flight to fly over Constantine & out the door. He flew upward towards the sky & then evened out to fly towards the city.
"Ok. I'm stuck in the alternate universe seen in Fringe, transformed into Jetman red, & there's no obvious way of getting home. What to do," Austin said to himself.
Meanwhile, at FBI headquarters…
"Agent Broyles, we've detected a man-sized mass of energy headed towards the city," a low-level agent said.
"What kind of energy?"
"The alternate universe kind."
"You sure?"
"Yes. The alternate dimensional energy sensors detected it themselves."
"Where is this energy source now?"
"It came from the docks & now, based on its trajectory, it should be over the city in a few minutes."
"Hmm. Capture this mass of energy & bring it here. If it is a person, bring it alive. Do not kill it under any circumstances."
"Got it, sir," he says, saluting then leaving to carry out his orders.
Back to Austin.
"Man. Should I even try to find Fringe headquarters, or not? Maybe they can help me get back," he says, landing on top of a building & transformed back, overlooking the city. He hears the sound he did earlier that day & looked around. He saw an almost blue form try to materialized on top of the building. "Doctor?" he says, but as it was going to finish, the door behind it leading to a stairway opened, causing the form to disappear.
"Freeze!" the guy said, before more agents came out & surrounded Austin then pointed their guns at him.
"What's going on?" Austin asked.
"You have copious amounts of alternate universe energy & we need to make sure you're not a threat. You must come with us," he said, moving towards Austin, who preceded to back up to the edge of the building. He felt around in the pockets of the jacket & got the mobirate & ranger key.
"Do I really? Tell ya what, I'll race you there," he says, getting the mobirate & ranger key out, flipping them & transforming. "Gokai change."
Ranger!
He then pulled out a ranger key & stepped off the edge. The agent looked over the edge then Austin transformed again.
Megaranger!
He then got out the glider & started soaring through the air.
"Hold your fire!" the agent said, then pulled out his phone. "Yeah, sir. He's coming to you. We'll be there in a bit," he hangs up the phone.
"Hmm," Broyles said. "We need to prepare."
Austin gets to the FBI building. he jumped off the board.
"Gokai change."
Go-Onger!
He landed on the ground & ran inside at top speed & went to Broyles' office. He detransformed back to Gokaiger form & removed his helmet.
"Agent Broyles, I need your help."
"Do you?" he turns around in his chair & aims a gun at Austin's head. "Because we could've talked if you'd have let the other agents take you in."
"What's different now?"
"The fact that you're from another universe, I don't know or trust you, you have been more hostile than not, &, quite frankly, I don't want to hear it."
"Listen, I know that you don't have a reason to trust me, but hear me out. I'm Austin Moon. I'm from another universe, but not the one you've encountered, or the one this suit came from. I have no bad intentions planned. I didn't even come here by choice. The Observers brought me here for experimentation."
"The Observers?" he says, pulling the gun back a bit. "They wanted to experiment on you?"
"Yes. I figured you could help me out, as the Fringe division deals with this kind of shit all the time."
"We do, but how do you know? Is there a version of us where you're from?"
"Uh, no, but there is a TV show where your universe is represented where I come from."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Well this is fascinating," he says, putting his gun away. "We'll talk more about this after your nap."
"My-?" he started, but got knocked unconscious by Olivia & fell forward, demorphing.
"Hmm. Interesting," Olivia said.
"Yes. get him into the questioning room, remove the devices he has on him, then question him when he wakes up," he picks up his cell phone & dials a number. "Yes, agent, take a team out to where this young man came from & try to look for the Observers. They're somehow involved in this. They might have a base down at the docks. Get down there quick."
"Yes, sir."
He hung up the phone, as Olivia & another agent carried Austin & put him on to a wheelchair & took him to the question room. They took the contents of his pockets out & put them in a bin for storage then put it under the desk.
