NewTech City 12th May 2025
It was night, a figure ran down a dim street trying to escape the assassin that was on his trail. The man was scared, because if his device fell into the wrong hands it could alter everything. In the distance he saw his destination, where he could be safe from this madness. The scientist's urged himself his heart thumping in his chest, he could hear blood pounding in his ears. His hand was mere centimetres from the doorknob when the laser fired into his chest making him stumble to the ground.
"Give it here! Bates!" Hissed Morgana. "We can do this the good way or the not so good way."
"No! I swear on my life I will never give this to you!" He snarled.
"How touching." She threw a dagger into his chest, watching him as he struggled to remain conscious.
"I'll take that thank you very much." She swiped the object from his grasp it was three dimensions cube in all black except for the small button that was a bright blue.
"Villains… like ..you will always... lose because.. heroes .. will always manage... to ..save the.. day." He said as he drifted away from this earth as he died.
"The Emperor will be pleased." The Woman said as she vanished in a beam of green light.
"Rangers! Report to the command centre immediately!" The incom system reported. The B squad rangers quickly made their way to the command centre, the door open they quickly scurried into formation and saluted.
"There has been a murder in sector 12 it appears to be one of Grumm doings." Informed Cruger. A hologram showed grainy footage of the man being chased his coat flapping in clutched to his chest was an object of some sort.
"The man was known as Jeremy Bates he was a pioneer in the field of time travelling he won the young scientist award two months ago for his success with his invention.'
"Are you saying that cube is a time travelling device?" Asked Sydney. "What would Grumm want that for?"
"We think he wants to alter time."
"How far back though Commander?" Sky asked, his eyebrows furrowed in worry.
"We are not sure Cadet Tate." Sighed the blue dog.
"I know!" Bridge raised his hand,
"What?" Z asked.
"Think about it guys what's stopping Grumm from taking over Earth."
"SPD?" Asked Jack. Bridge gestured his hand in a 'keep going motion'
"Us!" Cried Sydney.
"Bingo there it is! So what if Grumm went back in time where all of our parents were in the same place at the same time so that he could kill them preventing us never from being born. Then because we were never born-"
"Okay we get the picture Bridge" Jack raised his hands in a stop motion.
"The question is where in time did our parents were all together with SPD? Did they have a mission where they were all together." Z rubbed her forehead.
"I believe they did Delgardo in March 2011 in a place called Storybrooke."
"I heard about that mission wasn't about a magic town that appeared out of the blue with fairy tales characters?" Asked Z.
"Yes, SPD thought that they would be a potential threat but it was all a misunderstanding," Cruger answered. "Time is of the essence, you must hurry before history is altered permanently."
"Sir how though?" Sydney said bluntly. "we don't have a device to travel through time"
"Kat has been working on a machine that can travel back in the recent months and it is ready for action." Cruger snapped his fingers and the floor dropped the rangers into an underground garage.
"Lights!" The room was engulfed in brightness, the Rangers had to blink a few times before they saw a small sleek space shuttle painted in silver with SPD logo. "Rangers this it. It is officially called Overtime. The are coordinate are set now go!"
The rangers all spirited into action boarding the shuttle. It dematerialised in a blue glow.
"Good Luck Rangers."
Storybrooke Maine 2011
The sound of a door creaked open, the loud thumps of a ten year old could be heard as he scurried into the living room. Henry plunked his backpack on the floor with a sigh.
Regina heard her son coming home back from a long day at school from her private study. She existed the office and headed out to her son who was watching TV. Henry looked up from his position on the couch.
"Hi, sweetheart how was school? Is your Ma coming?" His mother leaned down to kiss his forehead.
"Yeah she's just parking the car. School was.." Henry screwed his nose trying to think of the best way to describe his day.
"Alright."
Regina raised an eyebrow at her son's response.
The sound of a door closing and a flash of crimson leather caught Regina's eye. There in the doorway stood her gorgeous wife in her signature leather jacket.
"Hi Honey." Said Emma as she gave her wife a kiss on the lips.
Regina melted into the kiss and hummed in reply.
"Welcome home" Regina gave Emma a smile, "I was thinking of making a pesto chicken pasta for tonight dinner. Is that okay with you guys?"
Henry's eyes lit up at the mention of food. He gave a toothy smile to his brunette mother.
"Yeah that's sounds awesome!"
Emma ruffled his hair in affection,
"That sound lovely babé. Henry why don't you go up and have a shower and unwind? While I'll help mum with dinner"
Henry rolled his eyes, at the term of affection that his mum used for Regina.
"Sure Ma." He replied as he ran out of the room he made his way up the staircase at lightning speed.
"Henry be careful on the stairs!" Regina yelled after him. Her wife gave her 'you are being too overprotective look'
"Honestly Honey, he could hurt himself," Regina answered.
Emma got behind her wife and wrapped her arms around her waist.
"Babé, you know how much I love you and our son right?"
Regina rolled her eyes and smirked.
"Honey I worried about Henry he seems a bit… Out of sorts." Emma crocked her head in confusion. She rested her head on Regina's shoulder,
"What do you mean?" Emma's voice was soft with concern about her child.
"I ask him about school today and he was somewhat hesitant." Regina's lips curled into a tight frown. Her wife let out a sigh in response, "I think Henry having trouble with someone at school." Regina said.
"Regina honey, do you want me to talk to him about it?" Emma's emerald green eyes gazed into hazelnut.
"Yes, I think you should handle it. Now I'm going to get a head start on dinner care to join me, Miss Swan?" Regina lowered her voice an octave, as she made her way to the kitchen, hips swaying.
"Babe it's Mrs Swan-Mills." Emma rolled her eyes at her wife's antics in amusement, as she followed her into the kitchen, like a lovesick puppy her eyes glued to her wife's figure.
"Emma honey, you don't mind preparing the vegetables while I prepare the chicken?" Regina started to move about the kitchen with ease. She grabbed the chicken breasts from the fridge, a chopping board and the pesto jar from the cupboard. She also grabbed a bowl to place and marinated the chicken with the pesto.
"Darling can you get me a knife from the knife block?" Regina asked Emma who was near the knives. The knife was passed with a kiss, Regina quickly diced the chicken breasts into smaller pieces. Emma started to cut the onions dicing them up, she set the diced up onion aside in a pile.
"How small do you want me to chop the carrots? Is bite size okay?" Asked Emma. She gestured to the two whole carrots which was cut into circular pieces no longer remaining whole. She started to chop the broccoli and cauliflower into bite size pieces as well.
Regina looked up from her task at hand, "That's perfect Emma." Her wife gave a smug look.
"I'm getting better at this soon I'll be on Masterchef!" Emma said jokingly, Regina chuckled lightly as she marinated the chicken in the bowl. Regina's laughter was music to Emma's ears. The vegetables were chopped ready, so Emma moved to the stove. Opening the cupboard she found a large pot to boil some water for the pasta. She filled the pot with water filling it two-thirds of the way full, she then add a handful of salt to enhance the flavour of the pasta while it cooked. Emma twisted the dial to making the flame on the stove appear, once it was on she increased the heat to high letting the water to start boiling.
Regina was in the pantry getting the pasta, she found it after finding it hidden in between the container of plain flour.
"Babe, have you got the pasta yet?" Emma asked.
"Yes, honey I've got it right here. " Regina rattled the bag of pasta she placed it on the bench near the stove.
"Thanks, babe." Reply Emma, Regina handed her the bag of uncooked carbs. Emma tore the bag open and poured the contents into the now boiled water.
Regina got a large frying pan placing it on the stove opposite of the pasta pot. Turning the heat on.
"Regina? Why don't you wait till the pasta's done?"
"Miss Swan." Regina purse her lips together. "I'm just getting the pan ready." She tossed the onion in, it sizzled in the pan as it started to cook.
The familiar sound of footsteps Henry could be heard as he made his way downstairs.
"Mums?" Henry called.
"In the kitchen sweetheart!" Regina answered.
In came Henry with dark navy jeans and a white t-shirt, his hair was damp wet from the shower.
"When's dinner ready?" He asked running a hand through his damp hair trying to smooth it out.
"Kid, it's gonna take a while." Said, Emma, as she removed the pasta pot from the stove, she transferred the steaming pasta to a collider. The blonde made her way to the kitchen sink, turning on the tap to run water over the cooked pasta to cool it down. She left the pasta in the sink as she used the remaining water in the pot to steam the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, she also added green beans into the mix.
"Henry why don't you watch tv for a while." Suggested Regina As she transfer the onion to a plate. she then started to cook the chicken. "Dinner should be ready in 20 minutes."
"Okay Mum, can I have a sprite? It's a Friday night after all" Henry looked up at her with a hopeful expression.
"Sure sweetheart."
Henry grabbed a can from the fridge he then dashed out into the living room. The sound of a button clicked as the Tv was switched to life.
"From what we can see here, There is a strange surge of energy seems to becoming near the middle of the forest. Our scanners are not one hundred percent sure what it is but we can guarantee you it is harmless. Back to you Ethan.."
That doesn't sound good, I'll check it out first thing in the morning. Thought Emma as she checked the vegetables which were coming along nicely. The smell of cooked pesto entered her nostrils her stomach grumbled. Her wife looked over at her with a smirk,
"Henry's not the only one who's hungry I see."
"Very funny Gina," Emma replied with a sarcastic tone. "How's the chicken going? The vegetables are nearly done."
"Another 12 minutes and it should be done." The brunette stated.
"Excellent. I'll start setting the table with Henry." Emma drains the water into the sink, transferring the vegetables on a plate. She grabbed three plates from the draw and made her way into the dining room.
"Henry, could you please help your Ma set the table for dinner?" Asked Regina as she popped her head around the corner into the living room.
"Sure thing Mum." Henry gave her a smile as he stood up and went into the dining room to assist his other Mum. Regina made her way back into the kitchen, the chicken was browned to perfection after twelve then added the remaining ingredients the pasta and the vegetables lastly she add white wine to enhance the flavour of dish and letting it simmer for a few minutes to burn off the alcohol.
"The table is all set for the most part we just need cutlery." Said Emma as she re-entered the kitchen making her way to where the knives and forks were.
She sniffed the air, "Smells delicious babe!" Regina lifted the pan and made her way to the dining room, Emma followed her with the cutlery in her hands.
"Dinner is served!" Emma announced as Regina put it on the table, Emma placed the cutlery into the designated spot of each plate. Henry was seated at his usual spot for dinner.
Emma made her way over to the wine cabinet in the corner of the room from there she picked out a bottle of white.
"Wine Honey?" Emma asked as she held up Regina's wine glass.
"Yes please darling." Emma gracefully poured the wine into her glass stopping half way. Emma pour herself a glass of white as well. Regina served Henry, then herself, and Emma.
The family of three started eating, Emma finished swallowed up a mouthful of food.
"So Henry how was school today?" She asked as she took another bite of her food.
Henry put his fork down, "It's was alright because we had 10 minutes extra recess today because the teachers had a meeting." The ten years old said as he resumed his meal.
"That's interesting, sweetheart." Complemented Regina she looked at her son he seemed to be deep in thought by the way his face scrunched up. Emma shared a glance with Regina, "Henry dear? Is everything alright?" Regina asked in concern.
"Mums ever since the curse broke, Storybrooke has been isolated from the rest of the world but I have the strangest feeling that it won't be for much longer."
"Is this because of the news report about the strange energy readings?" His blonde mother asked. The young boy nodded, "Don't you worry Henry I'll check it out first thing in the morning."
Meanwhile in the middle of the forest.
A squirrel was climbing up a tree trying to get to its nest, a snap of a branch caught it's attention momentarily it stopped what it doing the squirrel ears twitched with anticipation. The furry creature dismissed the sound and continued climbing to its nest. A white light appeared the size of a tennis ball quickly as it appeared it vanished. The light blinked into existence again a low humming sound came from the ball of light.
Each time it blinked the size would increase after it had been going on for an hour the hole of light was about 4 metres by 5 metres long. A crackle of lightning could be heard from within side the hole, a black silhouette of a disfigured creature pushed through the barrier of light. With a loud bellow the creature exited the hole of light. This creature was from the year 2025 travel 14 years back in time to prevent the power rangers of the year 2025 from ever existing. This creature was a figurehead called Grumm and his name brought terror wherever he went. Grumm had conquered entire galaxies.
"It is time." He said as his small army came through the time portal. His army consisted of 5 orange heads, 35 krybots for each orange head and 5 blue heads. His soldiers stood waiting for the command of their leader.
"We attack at dawn, from what I gathered the parents of the B squad rangers are here in this place called Storybrooke they are expected to venture out into these woods at 10 tomorrow morning. Kill them onsite!" His red eyes glowered at them.
"Understood Emperor Grumm." All of them said saluting their leader.
"Can we watch a movie?" Asked Henry eyes pleadingly. His brunette mother places a kiss on his forehead.
"Sure thing sweetheart," Regina said as she gracefully sat down on the couch, as Henry scrolled through Netflix look for something to watch.
"Can we watch The Dark Knight." Asked Henry.
"Yes, you can but remember-"
"I have to watch PG 13 movies with one of you guys and not by myself." Recited Henry as he interrupted his brunette mother.
Regina smirked at her son's remark.
"Where's Ma?"
"She's just in our room changing her clothes into something more comfortable."
"I think we should wait for her before we start though. Can we make some popcorn while we wait for her?"
Together mother and son made their way into the kitchen to make the savoury snack. Upstairs in the master bedroom, Emma had finished putting on grey her sweatpants and was in the middle of putting on her hoodie when she heard a sound she never thought to hear again caught her immediately attention.
Beep Beep! Beep Beep!
It was the sound of her morpher! the blonde quickly shoved her arms through the sleeves and practical sprinted toward the closet. Emma snatched the wooden box that housed her morpher she fumbled with the password clumsy in her heist to open it. The box opened with a click out came her red solar morpher, her hands trembled in excitement. The grid only open up in absolute emergencies… Wait..? Maybe it had to do with the strange energy surges… Whatever it is I think it's time to get the team back together.
Emma took a deep breath and slide the morpher over her eyes. She gently tapped the side of the glasses activating the communication function.
"Hello guys? Dominic, Lily, Theo, R.J? Are you there do you copy?"
She was meet with static for a few seconds, before a beep signalled the arrival of one of her teammates.
"Emma What the hell is going on?! Why are the morphers connected to the grid?!" Lily asked her voice was one of panic.
"Slow down Lily! I'm not entirely sure what going on just yet. But, what I do know that since we are a veteran team it means something big is gonna happen-" Three beeps alerted Emma that the rest of her teammates were joining the conversation.
"Hey team! What cracking?" interrupted R.J.
"Hello RJ nice to see you too." Replied Emma her voice sarcastic.
"Hi Lil, Em, RJ, Dom" greeted Theo.
"Hi guys." Dominic replied.
"Okay guys we've all said our hellos now to why we being pulled out of retirement. As you all know the grid is only open up to veteran rangers in absolute emergencies." Emma paused as she got a choir of 'yeses' in response.
"Look guys I'm 99.9 percent sure the situation is where I am right now."
"Okay we trust your judgement where are you?" R.J asked his voice was in business mode.
"Before I tell you that. I need to know if all are you in the U.S right now?" Replied Emma.
"Theo and I live in Boston together." Answered Lily.
"I am actually in Briarwood. At the moment catching up with an old friend of mine" Dominic stated.
"I live in California now with Dom." R.J said.
"Okay, now that I know we are all in country. Down to where we all the action is going down it's Storybrooke Maine."
"There is no such thing as a place called Storybrooke in Maine!" Dominic cried in disbelief.
Emma sighed in frustration, "Look, Dominic, there is no time for arguing the world is in possible danger! It's complicated, alright?!"
"Emma calm down, we need you to be in a calm assertive mindset set just take a few deep breaths and breathe." R.J said his tone was soothing. The blonde inhaled a deeply she held the oxygen in her lungs for a few seconds then exhaled slowly. "Okay." Emma said in a much calmer tone.
"I'll email you the directions after we established everything. I advise you guys to pack clothes for about a week or two because this might take a while. It is currently 7:45 pm here. I need you all to get down here tomorrow morning. We'll all meet at the diner which is called Granny's at 8:40 am, then we will check out the source. Look guys I have to go, my wife calling me."
"Oh my God my girl got married!" Theo said excitedly.
"Yeah I did, we'll catch up later tomorrow. Alright I have to go remember be ready for anything rangers." Emma tapped her morpher disabling the connection. She knew without a doubt her team would be there tomorrow morning.
Taking the morpher she carefully put it in the box sealing it safely with the passcode, placing the box back where it belonged.
Emma quickly pulled out her phone and began emailing the necessary coordinates to her team. Her thumb hit the send button and it was off. Within less than ten minutes later she received a reply from her friends saying that they got the email. Emma heard footsteps on the staircase and shoved her phone back into her pocket.
"Emma darling are you up here?" Regina asked as she popped her head around the corner. Emma let out a sigh, as she gave her wife a tired smile.
"Hey, I'm sorry I just got off a call with a four of my friends and their coming down to Storybrooke tomorrow for a couple of weeks." Emma gave her wife a loving kiss running her hand through the short brunette locks.
"Mm, okay so are they staying at the B&B?" As Regina parted. Emma hummed in response. "Henry and I are waiting for you to come and join us. We are watching The Dark Knight."
"Let's go Honey, we don't want to keep him waiting!" Emma tugged Regina towards the staircase the couple together descended down the stairs. Regina rolled her eyes in amusement at the loveable dorky woman that she had been married to for 5 years.
"Alright! Let's get started Kid!" Emma ruffled Henry's head. He clicked play and the dark knight started. By it the credit rolled it was 10:20 pm. Henry was struggling to keep his eyes open.
Emma gently shook him on the shoulder, "Henry, buddy it's time for bed."
Her son let out a yawn, "Okay Mums, Good night." Before stumbling out the room and upstairs to his bedroom. A few minutes later Regina stood up from the couch and place a kiss on Emma's forehead.
"Emma Honey, I'm heading up."
The tired brunette rubbed her eyes and released a small yawn made her way out of the room and up the stairs towards their bedroom. Emma followed her wife groggily up the stairs. As she made her way up stairs Emma suddenly realised that she that whatever the threat was in Storybrooke would quite likely hurt the people she loved dearly.
This realisation hit her like a train wreck, it was like a bucket of cold water was thrown into her face as if to say; "You finally found your happiness in life and this happiness can be taken away in a moments notice." This thought sent a chill down to the pit of her stomach. Emma didn't sleep that well that night.
The sunlight slithered into the blinds, Emma awoke to a mass of brunette curls by her side. She shifted slowly trying not to wake the sleeping beauty that was her wife, Emma slowly trailed kiss from Regina's neck to her jawline. Her wife moan in pleasure at the sensation before slowly opening her eyes to face the beautiful blonde.
" Eager are we this morning?" Purred Regina her voice was husky from sleep. "Good morning Sheriff." Emma stopped her morning kisses and smiled at her wife. "Morning Baby, I was thinking we should go for breakfast at Granny's this morning."
"Sounds perfect honey." Said Regina as she pulled Emma into a loving kiss.
Emma pulled back from the kiss and glanced at the clock which read 8:10. She was suppose to meet her team at the diner in a little over half an hour.
Should I tell Regina and Henry that I was a ranger? That's the only thing that I kepted in the dark everything else they know of. They deserve to know it an important part of my history before the whole saviour thing.
"Sweetheart where did you go? I lost you for a bit." Whisky coloured eyes stared into emerald orbs.
"I just have a lot on my mind right now."
"Is there anything I can do to help you Sweetheart?" Regina buried her neck into Emma's neck trying to inhale the addicting smell of vanilla and cinnamon that the blonde always smelt of.
"There is one thing that would help." Emma eyes sparkled with hunger. Regina's eyes widen at the site, Emma was giving her the look. It was the 'I'm hungry for breakfast' look not the 'I'm really horny let's have sex' look that she was hoping for.
"Alright Mama bear let's go and get some breakfast before rip off anybody's head." Regina got up and started getting ready for the day.
Emma heaved herself out of bed and went to her closet and started to put on a pair of skinny jeans, she put on a white long sleeve shirt instead she than throw on her red leather jacket. She than unlock the box that contained her morpher and slid it into her jacket pocket. Emma then went into the bathroom suite to start putting on her makeup, arms wrapped around her waist as Regina placed a kiss on her cheek.
"Looking sexy darling" Emma flirted as she look at her wife in her blue blazer, black pencil skirt and heels.
"Not so bad yourself sheriff Swan." Regina winked and flashed a smile. "I'm going to wake Henry up and tell him to get dress." The brunette left the room her heel clicked away as she did. Emma smiled to herself, How the hell did I get so lucky to married someone like that! God I love her.
Regina carefully opened the door to Henry's room, "Henry, sweetheart we're going to Granny's for breakfast." Henry opened one eye, "Can have a Hot Chocolate with cinnamon on top?" His mother chuckled lightly.
"Of course but you better hurry!" She said smiling as she left the room for her son to get ready.
Five later Henry thunder down the stairs in excitement. Emma and Regina were waiting for him at the bottom.
"Come on, Come on! Let's go!" He tugged on his blonde mother arm.
"Woah, Kid we're coming!" Emma laughed at her son's enthusiasm. "Come on my majesty." She held out her hand for Regina who took it with a smile. The family made their way out into the streets of Storybrooke.
Finally the sign of Granny's greeted them and the three of them made their way in.
"Hello Madame Mayor, Emma and Henry." Greeted Ruby with a flirty smile.
"Booth?" Asked the waitress.
"Yes please thank you Miss Lucas." Regina replied. Ruby directed them to the booth closest to the door.
"So what will it be today?"
"Can I have the pancakes with maple syrup and a hot chocolate with cinnamon please?" Henry asked.
"I'll have the spinach and cheese omelette with a side of bacon and a hot chocolate with cinnamon." Emma responded to Ruby who scribble down their orders.
"Ruby I'll have my usual and a mocha please."
"Got it! Anything else?"
"No thank you Ruby that will be all." Replied Emma she glanced at her watch 8:22.
The sound of a engine of a motorcycle caught Emma's attention she up and went out of the diner. She looked further up the road and saw two dots that seemed to be people. As they got closer Emma recognised that the person on the motorcycle was dressed in black leather on a black motorcycle with a purple wolf decal. Following it was a white motorcycle with orange accents with a black rhino decal on the side. The person was dressed in black leather as well.
Both Motorcycles halted to a stop with a grumble.
"Emma what's going on?" Asked Regina she eyed the riders wearily.
The rider on the wolf motorcycle got off and took his helmet off his head. The other rider followed the same suit. Regina could clearly that they were both male, they seem to be in their late twenties maybe early thirties at the least. She saw on that one had whisky coloured eyes with short brown hair and at was at mid neck length just touching the collar bone. He also had a bit of stubble on his face giving him a handsome appearance.
The other had blonde hair and was cleanly shaven.
"Well if isn't Emma Swan!" Exclaimed the brunette guy, he pulled her into a bone crushing hug.
"Good to see you R.J, How have you been?" Choked out Emma, she coughed signalling that he was squeezing her too hard.
The man released her before the blonde dude went in for a bear hug.
"Dom!" Cried Emma. Dominic chuckled, "Hey Swan." A throat cleared interrupted the
trio of Rangers. The three turned to see the brunette Regina.
"Emma sweetheart aren't are you going to introduce me?" Emma lean up and connected their lips together in a sweet kiss.
"Of course Honey." She turned to her friends, "Care to join us for breakfast guys?"
R.J gave her a smile, "It would be our pleasure wouldn't Dom?" Dominic gave a thumbs up as they made their way into the diner.
The patrons in the diner eyed the as they newcomers entered.
"We don't get a lot of new people in town very often." Admitted Emma bluntly as she directed them to the booth.
"Regina, Henry, this is Dominic and R.J old friends of mine since I was eighteen. This my wife Regina and our son Henry."
"So was this before or after prison?" Asked Regina curiously.
"This was 9 months after she came out of prison when we meet her." Answered Dominic as he sat down next to Emma across Regina.
R.J sat next to Henry who sat next to his brunette mother.
Ruby sauntered over to the group.
"Hey cutie, what can I get you?" She flirted with R.J.
"I'm with him." R.J pointed to his boyfriend Dominic. "I'll have a mocha and a side of hash browns. He'll have a latte."
Ruby took their orders and walked away muttering about 'how the hot ones are always taken.'
A waitress came with Emma's omelette, and Henry's pancakes. She later returned with Regina's. She went back to the counter to get the drinks for the group and returned with two mocha and two hot chocolate and a latte placing them on the table.
"So how does it feel to back in red Em?" Asked R.J as he to a sip of his mocha. Regina and Henry shared a confused look.
"What do you mean by, 'back in red?' " Henry piped up as he tucked into his food. He looked at his Ma in confusion.
Dominic raised an eyebrow, "Emma have you told them? About us about why we're here."
Emma scratch the back of her neck nervously, as she finished taking a bite of her food.
"Um not yet… I figured now was the appropriate time to tell them." She cleared her throat before continuing. "Regina, Henry have you ever heard of the Power Rangers?"
Her son's eyes lit up in recognition, "Yeah of course who hasn't heard of them?!" Shouted the ten year old in excitement.
"I have heard of them." Replied Regina
"Did you guys know that there are many teams of Power Rangers?" Continued Emma.
"Uh huh, the first ranger team was in Angel Grove." Henry explained. Emma adjusted her right sleeve as she did Henry caught a glimpse of ink that resembled a claw mark. He tried to stiffen his gasp of surprise, but his Ma heard him. He started to put two and two together,
"Henry?" Asked Emma in concern.
"That's a Master Stripe! Ma you never told me you did Pia Zhua! Let alone a master!"
" Your son is good Swan." Piped up Dominic.
"I've been a master for ten years now." Explained the blonde.
Beep Beep! Beep Beep!
Went R.J's wolf morpher he rolled up his jacket sleeve, Henry eyes went wide as he saw the device.
"Oh my god you're one of them! You're a Power Ranger!" Shouted Henry.
"Yes I am, actually all of us are." Answered R.J as he gestured to to Emma and Dominic.
The diner was quiet, "EMMA'S A RANGER?!" Exclaimed Henry in disbelief his mouth hung wide. "You are the red ranger aren't you?" Henry looked at his Ma in awe.
"Yes I am." Emma grinned. "R.J Theo probably lost now would be a good time to answer it." R.J pushed a button on the morpher activating the communication system.
"What does the diner sign look like?" Theo's voice rang out it to the diner.
"Hey Theo, Have you passed the Welcome to Storybrooke sign yet?" Interrupted Emma.
"Uh yes we just passed it." Answered the blue ranger.
"Keep driving straight ahead and you'll see it." Directed Emma.
Moments later a white car pulled up, the door opened in stepped a blonde woman dressed in jeans and a yellow jacket by her side was a man who looked of Asian descendents with brown chinos and a blue t shirt.
"How's my Girl doing!" Theo open his arms wide for a hug. Emma embraced him in a tight hug. "It's so good to see you!" Murmured Emma.
Theo released her from the hug, as Lily went for an embrace.
"Hey Lily! I've missed you so much." Greeted Emma as she parted from the hug.
"Hi Emma it's great to see you!" Smiled the yellow ranger.
"Hey! What about me?" R.J pouted, Lily rolled her eyes as she gave him a hug.
" So Swan, care to enlighten us why this so called Storybrooke isn't on the map?" The rhino ranger asked with a raised eyebrow.
Before Emma could responded, her son a did.
"It all started in the enchanted forest, when the evil queen castes the dark curse-" Theo held up a hand.
"Hold up kid, The Evil Queen? As in Snow White? I thought she was a fairy tale, what do you mean by she cast a curse? How does this have to do with the town?"
"I have a name you know! It's Henry" The little boy retorted. "Anyway the queen casted the curse and sent everyone in enchanted forest here, to the land without magic. But in doing so the people had their memories erased so they lived in a cursed state without knowing who they really were until my Ma here broke the curse and everyone remembered who they were in the Enchanted Forest. That's why Storybrooke isn't on the map"
The four out of the five ranger looked at the boy as if he had grown two heads. Regina and Emma chuckled in amusement,
"What's so funny?" Asked Theo clearly not see the humour.
"Well as Power Rangers we have battled unbelievable things not of this world example the phantom beasts. Yet you seem to be stunned by the fact fairy tales are in fact real." Emma explained with a grin.
"Oh and who are you suppose to be?" Lily asked sassily.
"The daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming." Stated Emma all her humour vanished her tone serious.
"Oh, so does your wife have a counterpart?" R.J asked trying to draw the tension off the current situation.
"Regina Mills Former Evil Queen." Answered Regina. R.J face whiten considerably, at her response.
"So y-you a-all r-real?" Stuttered out Theo.
"Yes quite real indeed, Just don't cross me or I will destroy you." Regina said darkly giving them a hell of a glare. All three men gulped, at her words. Henry chuckled as he gave his mum a high five. Emma flicked her wife on the shoulder with her hand giving Regina a glare of disapproval.
"Honey I was joking!" Emma gave her an affectionate kiss on the lips.
"Coffee anyone?" Asked the blonde to Theo and Lily. The yellow and blue ranger ordered their respected drinks as they reconnected with old and new friends.
Twenty minutes later
Mother Superior came into the diner a frantic expression on her facial features.
"Sheriff Swan! We have a disturbance in the woods, there is a strange source of dark magic someone has activated a time travel spell." Gasped out Blue.
"That's impossible no one has been able to achieve that spell?!" Said Regina as her eyes popped out of her head.
"Well this person succeeded!" Replied the nun.
"Duty calls Rangers." Stated Emma with a sigh as she stood up the other rangers followed. "Regina come with us, we might need your help to identify the person who activated the spell." Her wife nodded,
"Can I come with you Ma? I wanna see some action!" Henry looked her with big eyes.
"No! Kid it's too dangerous. I need you to go to Mary Margaret's place because that's where you'll be safe." Answered Emma sternly, Henry huffed in annoyance.
"Ruby put this on my tab!" Emma yelled as she and the others ran out the door.
Henry waited for a minute before following after them.
"You're going to some action right?" Asked Ruby, the brunette boy looked at her with suspicion.
"Are you going to try and stop me?"
"God no! I'm going to join you!" Chuckled Ruby as the duo followed the Rangers.
The Rangers and Regina made their way into the woods, they walked for a while before Regina stopped and glanced around.
"I feel a dark presence here it nothing like I have ever felt before… We are getting close to the source." The brunette said as she felt her magic tingle uncomfortably. They trudged on as silently as they could.
A flash of silver caught Theo attention making him tense up into a fighting stance.
"Theo! What did you see?" Whispered R.J.
Theo shook his head, "I think I saw a robot maybe? It was difficult to tell, we need to move closer." Answered the blue ranger.
Emma signalled them to continue, closer to the potential threat.
The closer they got they could hear the clanking of metal. They hid up against a trees,
"What the actual fuck is that?" Whispered Dominic as he spotted a krybot.
"It looks like a robot of some sort." Admitted Regina in a hushed tone. A loud snap of a branch caught the krybot attention. Regina look up and saw Henry who was as still as a statue.
"Oh Shit." Emma cursed as the robot started to fire its weapon at Henry. Before she could move the laser that was fired halted with a blue shimmer of magic. Regina snapped her fingers and a fireball appeared in her hand she than threw it at the robot engulfing it in flames.
"HENRY DANIEL MILLS!" Regina screeched as she glared at her son. "DON'T YOU THINK I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE MISS LUCAS." Snapped Regina eyes fuming. The duo sheepishly made their way to the group. Henry was pulled into a hug by his brunette mother. He was shaking, in her arms.
"Don't you ever scare me like that again!" Regina exclaimed in a motherly tone.
"I am so sorry mum, I just wanted to see some action." Said Henry his eyes were wet with tears. Regina just hug him tighter and murmured comforting words.
The petite woman turned to the werewolf, with narrowed eyes. "Miss Lucas you take Henry out of here right now and take him to Snow's Place." She gave an intimidating glare that screamed evil queen. "Do you understand me?" Her voice dropped with a snarl.
Ruby gulped at the display, "Yes Madam Mayor." She said meekly. Regina release Henry from her hug she tilted his chin so that he was facing her.
"Sweetheart you have to go now with Ruby okay?" Her tone was calm and gentle, Henry stared at his mother.
"Okay, stay safe. I love you" he whispered into her ear so only she could hear. She smiled and kissed his forehead. "I love you too."
Ruby extended her hand which Henry took they quickly head back through the trees back to Storybrooke.
"Guys? Do you see over there between the trees?" Said Lily, as she pointed to the the group of krybots about a fair bit away from the group.
"Yeah I see them." Replied her boyfriend.
"I hate to alarm you but there are more robots on the way about 20 black ones and two blue ones.
The krybots were inching their way closer to the group marching in sync.
"I suggest that now would be a good time to morph." Interrupted Dominic.
Emma nodded her head and signalled the Rangers to spread out with her hands.
"Regina we will distract them while you find the source of time travel spell." Ordered Emma a look of determination crossed her face.
"Got it." Replied her wife.
On my mark signalled Emma the others with her hand. One…Two… Three!
"Call to the beast inside! Unleash the tiger!" The tiger spirit attack the about five krybots in a flash of speed. The krybots sparked and collapsed to the ground in flames.
"Ready?" Asked Emma as she put her morpher over her eyes to her fellow Rangers.
"Ready!" responded R.J, Dominic, Theo and Lily.
" JUNGLE BEASTS, SPIRITS UNLEASHED!"
A flash of light engulf them. Seconds later in the team were in their armour.
" Emperor Grumm said that there wasn't a ranger team here!" Screamed one blue head.
"Who the hell are you?!" Asked the other one.
"We are power rangers jungle fury. You can tell your emperor we are not going down without a fight!" Exclaimed R.J.
"I can see that krybots attack them!" Cried a blue head, the krybots charged at the team who started attacking them.
"We have other matter to attend to rangers! Such as finding the B squad parents." The other blue head said before walking to inform the Emperor of the mystery group of rangers.
"I'll take the two on the right you take the left." Dominic said as Emma dodge a punch from a krybot, she rammed her elbow into its chest she added a sidekick for good measures. She moved onto the next one, doing a backflip avoiding a laser, using the momentum she land on the ground with a solid thud landing on her feet.
"Alright time to blow this shit up!" Shouted Emma as she her landed a punch to a nearby krybot, she did a double kick with a flip send another three to the ground. The red ranger saw a flash of red in her side vision, she evaded the attack with a tumble to the ground it hit an enemy behind her.
Emma turn trying to locate Regina who had a bit of trouble on her hands three krybots were on her tail. Fuck.. Emma jumped, into action using the back of the elbow to strike a krybot in the neck she did then did a spinning kick sending all three krybot to their end.
"Be careful Regina"
Regina sent a wink in Emma's direction as she slipped into the trees. R.J did a spinning kick defeating five krybots at once.
Emma glanced at Theo and Lily who were smashing their way through with their respective weapons.
""That was the last of them." Dominic disengage his rhino blade. The group de morphed transforming back into their civilian selves. Theo clapped his hands together, "I think we can establish someone has travelled back in time to elimination the parents of a future team of Power Rangers. So how do stop this? More importantly where the fuck do we start?" He looked at Emma and then R.J.
"Here's what I suggest we do, we split up. You guys" she pointed to Dom, Lily and Theo. "Continue searching the woods for the krybots base camp, Contact us if you run into trouble or find something. R.J and I will go back into town to do some research and see if we can find the parents of the B squad power rangers." The three nodded, " Can you make sure that Regina is safe during this shit?"
"Of course." Replied Dominic.
Emma gestured to R.J, "Let's go man, we got some questioning to do." The Red and Wolf ranger made their way back into town.
"So I suggest we follow the direction where the blue krybots went." Theo suggested he and the others started on a reasonable walking pace. Lily shrugged in agreement and Dominic did a mocking salute with two finger.
"Yes sir." Three continued on.
"So your wife is the Evil Queen and you're the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming?" R.J made some hand gestures trying to make sense of his former student's family history. "Doesn't that make family reunions kinda complicated?"
"Yes too the first question, for the second it took a while for my parents to get over the fact I married their arch nemesis and so on, but we all on good terms now."
Suddenly the ground started trembling enough to make them stumble head first into the ground. A flash of blue light, dulled their vision as they shielded their eyes follow by a loud bang. Emma slowly blinked her eyes trying to get rid off spots, their in the middle of a freaking road stood a spaceship like something out of Star Wars. The red ranger internally groaned, Great.. just as the day couldn't get any more stressful. Steam radiated off the ship, the door open and outstep five figures in grey uniform of some sort trimmed in colours of Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and Pink.
"Hey Blonde Lady!" Screamed the one in red clearly a man. "Are we in Storybrooke?"
"The one and only." Emma answered, "Who are you guys?"
"We are from the year 2025, and we are the Power Rangers of that time. Jack Landors at your service." The African American held out his hand which Emma took gladly.
"Emma. Emma Swan."
Before Emma could get another sentence in she was interrupted by the all too familiar voice of her mother.
"Emma. Are you okay?! David and I heard the expulsion! Henry came charging in saying there was an army of freaking robots in the woods!"
"I'm fine. Before you say anything else, yes there are robots in the fucking woods. It's one of though day in Storybrooke."
"Who are they?" Pointed Mary Margaret at the others.
"Mum, this is RJ" she gestured to the man with the stubble. The B squad exchanged confused glances at one another at how a pixie haired woman could be a mother to someone who looked about the same age.
"Jack, what do we own you for your back to the future presence? Who the rest of the team?"
"This is Sky, Bridge, Elizabeth aka Z and Sydney." Continued the red ranger.
"Does this have to do with the Emperor Grumm and his minions?"
"Unfortunately, yes." The cogs in Emma's mind started to turn as she pieced the information together.
"Emma what's going on? Mary Margaret eyed the conversation with confusion. The blonde ignored her question, "Are you the team of Power Rangers that Grumm referred to as B Squad?" The nod that she got confirmed her theory.
"Emma please answer me, what the hell is going on?" Snow pleaded with her daughter.
"Mum, these people here are rangers from the year 2025. Grumm want to kill their parents. Which prevents them from being born."
"Wow! you're good at this" the green ranger commented with a smile.
"Yeah being a bails bond person does that-"
Emma's morpher went off, she slipped the solar morpher onto her face.
"Yeah? Alright come back to Granny's all of you." She responded.
"You're a ranger?" Asked Sydney.
"Red's a GIRL?!" Sky was in shock, his eyes wide.
"Yes, Do you have a problem with that?" She challenged with a arch brow.
Jack shot the blue ranger a warning glare, "No.." gulped Sky.
"Emma I suggest we call a town meeting, this is a serious issue we don't know what we're up against." Snow said turning to her daughter her eyes in awe that she learnt that her daughter was a ranger.
Emma released a sigh, "This isn't some ogre Mary Margaret or evan a curse. This is my fight, not the town's it a fight for the rangers not fairytale characters."
The sound of running footsteps alerted Emma's attention turning around she saw the rest of her team and her wife.
"Emma! We found the base camp it heavily guarded. We saw someone come through the time portal it was more krybots like more than fifty of them!" The blue jungle fury ranger informed.
"Did they see you?"s
"No-" a metallic screeching was heard, the female red ranger turn around seeing four orange heads, two blue heads. The blue heads threw the metal balls releasing a group of krybots.
"Shit!" Cursed Emma.
"Time to kick some krybot ass!" Jack and the his team pulled the delta morpher out. "Ready?"
"Ready!" The others replied, "SPD Emergency!" They morphed into their suits.
"Very nice, our turn." Emma admired how sleek their suits were. She pushing her morpher onto her face. "Ready?"beforehand
"Ready! Jungle Beasts, Spirits Unleash!"
"Regina, Snow get out of here!" Emma warned her voice muffled under the helmet The group of krybots advance towards the rangers.
"Fire!" Command Jack as and his team, fired their deltamax strikers at the blueheads.
"Is that all you have rangers!" Taunted a blue head that got up unfazed from the blast.
"Nope! Delta Max Fire" The red ranger pulled the trigger in quick succession send a powerful pulse of energy to the blue heads making them fly backwards through the air.
Emma launched an assault of punches and kicks at the krybots who drop to the ground from her blows.
"Need a hand?" Z striked down a couple of krybots that were advancing on the ranger.
"Thanks" Emma knocked out four krybots with a spin kick. An orange head was advancing on the two ranger drawing out its sword. The yellow ranger blocked the attack, she spun around and clashed her striker multiple times she aimed a kick for its knee making him stumble dropping the sword. Z slashed its chest twice making sparks on its armour, with a final thrust she penetrated the chest leaving the robot dead.
"Nice Job!" Emma said as did a backflip doing a kick to a krybot as she landed. The red ranger engage her shark sabres as an orange head came at her with its sword drawn. She manage to kick it in the chest leaving its defence open. She manage two or three slashed before it started attacking again. Emma dodge the sword blow doing a backflip bring her sword together to dent its head.
"Had enough yet ranger?" Snarled her opponent. Emma let her tiger spirit flow freely into her swords powering it up for the final attack, she hit her opponent with a high kick and thrusted the swords into his chest sending him into flames.
The red ranger scanned the battlefield seeing that there were only twenty nine krybots left and orange head.
"Heads up!" Bridge cried as he shot down three krybots while in mid air, near where Theo was fighting. Emma sent a right hook to a krybot she than flipped another to the ground.
"Rhino Blade Fire!" Shouted Dom, as he defeated the last orange head.
The blue Spd ranger fired his striker at two robots, he fired behind him sending another up in flames.
"Unleash the Cheetah!" The big cat spirit took out five more krybots leaving a mess of wires and limbs.
Theo and R.J both defeated four krybots together, with a flurry of kicks.
"This one's mine!" Shouted Jack as he aim his laser at the last one standing sending it up in sparks.
"Power down!" All the ranger shouted as they de morphed.
Before any of them could congratulate each other they were interrupted by a little voice.
"That was amazing!" Emma's son gasped. "Can I be a ranger like you someday Mum?"
"You have a son?" Asked Sky looking at the boy who remind the blue ranger of himself when he was a kid.
"Yeah, I do. Henry come here for a moment there are some people that I want you to meet." Her son sauntered over to the group.
"This here are Jack, Sky, Bridge, Z and Sydney. They're the group of rangers in 2025."
"Cool, Mum told me to tell you to come to the town hall."
"It's about the everything that happen in the last four hours right?"
"Yeah."
The group of rangers and Henry made their way to the town hall. Even though the door were closed, they could hear the muffle conversation of what was going inside. Emma caught the words 'how the hell is this possible?!' And 'Emma a Power ranger?!' The red ranger swallowed the massive lump in of nerves her throat as she opened the door.
