Time Well Heal Your Heart
Chapter One: New Life
Sometimes, I wonder if life itself is out to get me. Both of my parents and older sister were recently killed in a car crash a few weeks ago, and now I am living with my cousin Kimberly and her husband Jason Scott. Don't get me wrong, I love them both and their little girl Kelly and Kimberly and I are really close with each other. Before my parents and sister were killed the last time I seen Kimberly and Jason was when they came down for the holidays. Everyone is telling me that this will be the best for me to get a fresh start in my life. In a way, I agree with them but at the same time I don't. All my friends are in my hometown and I will be starting high school here soon it's just not fair but I guess that's how life is for me. It's already been two days since I left my old life behind in my hometown of St. Johns, Michigan and started my new life here in Silver Hills, California with my cousin and her family. As I look around my new room, it is a little bigger then my old room back home, but not by much. Boxes are still littering the room as I haven't finished unpacking everything. I walk over to the window and look outside as it is raining and thundering out there.
'The perfect weather for the kind of mood I'm in right now.' I thought to myself
"Paul, I brought you a sandwich if you're hungry?" A voice inquired
Startled for a moment I turn my head turning towards the voice to see that it was Kimberly as I just look at her for a moment before turning back around to looking out the window.
"I'm not hungry." I muttered
From the corner of my eye I saw Kimberly put the plate with the sandwich on my night stand as she then walks up to me putting her hand around my shoulder.
"Paul, you haven't been eating much of anything these last few days. It would be a really good idea if you ate something." Kimberly told me
I turn around and look at her.
"I'm sorry Kimberly, I know you and Jason are worried about me right now." I apologized
Kimberly then wrapped her hands around me hugging me as I gladly accept it and return it.
"Paul, you have nothing to apologize for I know you are going through a tough time right now losing both your parents and your older sister, moving away from all your friends." Kimberly told me
I just continue to hold her tight not wanting to let go as I let my tears fall freely as she rub my back to comfort me. We stayed like that for a few moments and let go of one another but she kept her hands on my shoulder.
"Paul, just know that no matter what you can always come to me and Jason if you are having a problem or just need someone to talk to." Kimberly told me
"Thanks Kimberly you're the best cousin ever." I told her as I hugged her again
"You're welcome Paul, and yeah I am the best." Kimberly agreed as she accepted the hug and returned one of her own.
A few moments later we broke apart.
"Paul, can you please eat something?" Kimberly pleaded with a look anyone can't say no too.
"Yeah I guess I could what kind of sandwich did you make for me anyway?" I wondered looking at the plate
"Peanut butter and jelly." Kimberly told me
"What kind of jelly?" I wondered
"Apple." Kimberly replied with a little smile
"What kind of bread?" I questioned again given her a little smile of my own
"White bread." Kimberly told me
"Well at least you know what I like." I mentioned with a chuckle
I then sat down on my bed grabbed the plate with the sandwich and took a big bite out of it. Kimberly then came over and sat down next to me.
"Are you even tasting the sandwich Paul?" Kimberly questioned me with a chuckle
"Of course I am that's the best part of a meal." I replied
A few minutes later after I finished eating the sandwich I then started thinking about something.
"Hey, you okay sweetie?" Kimberly inquired putting her hand around my shoulder
"Yeah, I just realized something." I replied as I got up and went over to one of the many boxes in room
Once I get to the box I know its in, I then open it as I then begin digging through it for a few moments before I then grabbed a smaller box from inside.
"What's in the box Paul?" Kimberly wondered
"I'm not really sure, my dad gave it to me years ago but gave me specific instructions not to open it until either he died or he told me to." I told her sitting back down on the bed with the box on my lap
"Well, I say now is a good time to open it." Kimberly mentioned
I took the led off the box and put it on the bed, inside was some kind of wrist device and a note I took the note out and started to read it.
Dear Paul,
If you are reading this, then that must mean that I have passed on from this world and into the next. In this box, you will find something that was left to you years ago as it will help you find your destiny. Take care my son and we will see each other again someday.
Love Dad
After reading the note, I put it aside and took out the wrist device thingy and took a good look at it. It was silver for the most part, it has three little red buttons the center of it was all block with what look like small red and green dots inside of it.
'Wait if I am right, this is a Power Ranger Morpher of some kind.' I thought to myself
"Paul what do you think it is?" Kimberly inquired
"Kimberly, get Jason in here." I replied as I stood up heading to the window with the Morpher in hand
I didn't need to look to see that Kimberly was looking at me weird for a moment before she walked out of the room. The rain and lightning as finally stopped as the sun is beginning to come out of the clouds. A few moments later, I then turn around as I then see Kimberly come back into the room with Jason right behind her.
"What's up Paul?" Jason questioned
I turned around and faced them.
"Do you remember when you guys told me you two once use to be Power Rangers?" I inquired
"Yeah, but what does this have to do with that device in your hand?" Kimberly wondered
I then hold it up to them.
"If I'm right, this is some kind of Morpher." I stated
"How can you be sure that it is man?" Jason questioned
'Well I guess I go to plan B.' I thought to myself
"Here's one reason." I stated as I strap the Morpher on my left wrist
Just then, a golden glow traveled down the length of my body.
"DNA conformed." a computerized voice came from the Morpher
'Wow I can actually feel the power cursing through my body this is so cool.' I thought to myself
I look over to Jason and Kimberly to see that they have shock and confused looks on their faces.
"Well, you guys still don't believe my judgment?" I questioned
"Paul, it's not that we didn't believe you, it was just that we couldn't really be sure it was a Morpher." Kimberly told me
"Yeah I understand." I stated
I then went back to the box to see if there was more stuff about this. I look inside to see another note in it so I took it out and read it.
"TIME FOR, TIME FORCE!" I read to myself
'That's it? Man, what does that mean?' I thought to myself
I then look back at the Morpher on my wrist as something then clicks in my brain.
'Wait, it might be what I have to say to activate the morphing sequence.' I thought to myself
"What does that note say Paul?" Jason inquired
"If I am reading this right, then it's the morphing call." I told them
"You sure Paul?" Kimberly wondered
"One way to find out." I stated
I back up a bit, and took in a deep breath.
"TIME FOR, TIME FORCE!" I yelled out as I put both my arms out to the side, then cross them at the wrist in front of my chest, and flips the sides of my arms to their opposite facing positions, then I pull them back out, before bringing my left arm around to my right side, pushing the middle button
A few moments later, I morphed into the Gold Power Ranger as I then get a good look at myself. (AN: It looks just like Wes's Ranger suit but it's Gold with the White part of his suit being Black instead.)
"Man this is sweet, I never felt anything like this." I mentioned as I got a good look at myself in my Ranger form
"Well, I guess the Power must run in the family right Kimberly?" Jason wondered
But he found that Kimberly wasn't by him.
"Hey, where did she go?" Jason inquired
"Um Jason, you might want to look below you." I told him pointing to the floor
Jason looked at me confused for a moment before he looked down to see Kimberly passed out next to him.
"Man, I haven't seen her faint in a long time." Jason stated
"I wonder if me becoming a Ranger now must have been too much for her?" I suggested
Jason then got onto his knees next to her as he then gently shook her.
"Kimberly, time to wake up sleepyhead." Jason told her
Kimberly slowly opened her eyes.
"I must be having a weird dream, did Paul really become a Power Ranger?" Kimberly wondered
"You're not dreaming cuz, it's all real." I confirmed
She turned to look at me and I saw her eyes go big with shock. Before anyone could say anything else I heard some kind of beeping sound.
"Did you guys hear that?" I inquired
"Yeah, I think it came from your Morpher Paul." Jason stated
I look at my Morpher as i then I push the red button on the right.
"Gold Ranger, there is a mutant attack in Silver Hills Business District, the other Time Force Rangers needs your help." A computerized voice said through the Morpher
"Other Time Force Rangers? A mutant attack?" I wondered
"Paul, you're not thinking of going are you?" Kimberly questioned
'Think for a minute Paul, what would your father do in your place? I mean he had to have some knowledge of this.' I thought to myself
After a few moments I then come to a conclusion.
'I know what I have to do now.' I thought to myself
"I have to Kimberly, it's what my dad would do." I stated as I walk up to the window and open it.
Luckily my window is in the fence in Backyard.
'Wait what's this?' I thought to myself
Somehow I see a message from my vizier
'TF Glider, well it will get me there faster for sure.' I thought to myself as the message disappeared
"TF Glider online." I said into the Morpher
Just then a Gold hover bored that really looks like a surfboard appeared in front of me. I then jump on it and turn to Jason and Kimberly.
"I'll be back as soon as I can guys, wish me luck." I told them
I then lean forward and all of a sudden I fly away at speeds unheard of.
"WHOA!" I cried out
I then get up high into the air.
"This is awesome I think I can get use to this." I mentioned
I then take a deep breath.
"All right, time to save the city." I stated
I then speed off towards the business district.
Kimberly's POV
As I see my little cousin race off to his first Ranger battle, I can't help but worry he will get himself hurt or worse.
'Then again, I was the same age as him when I became a Power Ranger and some of us didn't have fighting experience either when we started.' I thought to myself
"Hey don't worry too much Kimberly, Paul will be okay. He does have the power to protect him." Jason assured me as he puts his hand on my shoulder.
"I know Jason, but I can't help it." I admitted
'Please be careful Paul, and may the power protect you little cousin.' I thought to myself
Meanwhile in Silver Hills Business District
Paul's POV
After about a few minutes of flying in the air I made it to the business district as I then jumped off the TF Glider and land on the top of one of the nearby buildings. I then look down towards the ground and see a battle taken place below as I see five Rangers, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Pink fighting a monster.
"Computer, can you tell me more information on this mutant?" I asked into the Morpher
Just then, a holographic image of the mutant the other Rangers are fighting appeared.
'That's really cool.' I thought to myself
"The mutant is known as Vixon, Vixon was arrested by Time Force for trying to poison the city's water supply." The Computerized voice said through the Morpher
"Poison the city's water supply? Time Force? What does this all mean?" I wondered
I then look down at the battle taking place again.
"I'll figure this out later right now I have got to help them." I muttered
I then zoom down with great speed knocking Vixon to the ground I then stop at a fire escape as I turned around to face the mutant.
"What, another Time Force Ranger?" Vixon questioned
"What's going on?" The Red Ranger questioned
"Listen and learn Vixon, I am not just any Time Force Ranger not by a long shot. I am the Gold Ranger and I'm here to bring you back to justice." I told him pointing my finger at him
"A new Ranger?" The Blue Ranger wondered
"I like to see you try goldie." Vixon challenged
"With pleasure." I stated
I then jump down and go on the attack. I threw a couple of punches and kicks at him taking down to the ground as he could not block any of them.
"Why don't you make it easy on yourself and just come in peacefully." I stated
"Never." Vixon told me
"As you wish." I stated
"Gold Ranger, use the Vortex Cannon to take him down." A computerized voice said through the Morpher
"Right Vortex Cannon online." I called out
Just then, a big white cannon appeared in my hands I then point it at Vixon.
"Last change." I reminded him
"Never." Vixon stated as he then charge at me
"Fine then, don't say I didn't warn you. Vortex Cannon Freeze Mode locked on and fire." I called out
Just then, a big light blue ball fired out and hit Vixon straight on.
"No not again." Vixon muttered
"Vixon, your time is up." I told him giving a two finger salute
Just then, Vixon shrunk down to the size of an action figure. Just then, the other Rangers run up to it as I then make the Vortex Cannon disappear.
"It looks like you guys have got this from here, I will be taking my leave now." I told them as I begin to walk away.
"Hey." One of them called out
I turned around to see the Red Ranger step forward.
"Thanks for your help." The Red Ranger thanked
I just give them the two figure salute.
"No problem, until next time Rangers." I told them
I then brought my Morpher in front of me.
"TF Glider online." I called out
Just then the TF Glider appeared next to me. I then jump on and fly away.
Normal POV
The other Rangers just stare at the direction where the new Gold Ranger flew in.
"Who was that guy?" Lucas wondered
"I don't know, but I am sure glad that he is on our side." Trip mentioned
"You can say that again." Wes agreed
"Jen, do you think someone from home sent him?" Katie wondered
"I don't know Katie. Let's take Vixon and freeze him with the other Mutants and contact the future." Jen stated as she picked up Vixon and put him in a storage tube.
Meanwhile a bit later inside the Clock Tower
After having returned to the Clock Tower, the Ranges had demorphed and had put Vixin in with all the other captured Mutants as they then begin working trying to figure out who the new mysterious Gold Ranger is.
"So Circuit, any ideas as to who this new Ranger could be?" Trip inquired to his robotic owl friend
"I have no clue Trip, the only thing I have on this, is that the Gold Ranger powers were the first to be made by Time Force." Circuit stated
"Guys come here, I got Caption Logan through." Jen called out to the others as the screen came to life with a man in his thirties came on
The others then walked over towards Jen and look at Caption Logan through the screen.
"What is it Jen?" Caption Logan inquired through the Holographic Screen
"Caption, we have recently encountered another Time Force Ranger did you guys send him?" Jen questioned
"No we did not send another Ranger to the past. What color was he wearing?" Caption Logan questioned through the Holographic Screen
"It was Gold sir." Jen informed
"A Gold Time Force Ranger? Quick, tell me what day and year it is over there?" Caption Logan questioned through the Holographic Screen
"It's August 25th, 2003." Wes told him
"Just as I thought I now know who the Gold Ranger is." Caption Logan told them through the Holographic Screen
"Who his he Caption?" Jen questioned
"His name is Paul Alexander Golupski, he is fifteen years old by this time." Caption Logan informed them
"No way, but it kinda makes sense." Wes muttered
"Wes, I presume that you know him am I correct?" Caption Logan inquired through the Holographic Screen
Everyone looked at Wes who still had a shock expression on his face.
"Yes sir, I do." Wes confirmed
"Rangers listen closely, young Paul will be a big help to you guys so I suggest you find him and talk to him. Make him feel welcome as he was chosen to be the Gold Ranger for a reason and Jen make sure you guys don't treat him like a little kid understood." Caption Logan explained through the Holographic Screen
"Understood sir." Jen confirmed
Just then, the screen disappeared.
"Wes, how do you know Paul anyways?" Lucas inquired
"Well, Paul is my younger cousin's little cousin, I have meet him a few times in the past but I haven't seen him in five years." Wes admitted
"Well, looks like he is in town now so I say we go find him and talk to him." Jen stated walking over to the stairs
"Jen wait a minute." Wes called out
Jen stop in her tracks as Wes walked over towards her.
"it might be better if it is just you and me that go to him. I also know where he could be." Wes told her
"You do?" Jen questioned
"Yeah, you see Paul just recently lost not only both of his parents but his sister in a car crash and just moved here with our cousin Kimberly." Wes explained
"Alright then, let's go." Jen told him
"One more thing Jen, don't upset him even if he won't show it, he will more than likely still be hurting from the recent deaths of his family." Wes told her
"Don't worry Wes I won't do anything to upset him and I kind of know what he is going through." Jen mentioned
"Okay then, let's get moving." Wes told her as he and Jen walked out
AN: Well, there's the first chapter for this story. I was going to post this a few days ago but I haven't had much time to do so. Now, I do have the next two chapters all written I just need to do some re read and editing before posting them which should be done in a few days. And like the other stories I updated the other day I won't be updating on any of them until sometime later this year as I am not going to have much if not anytime to write. Also I want to get a lot of chapters written for the stories before I start updating again so that I can get on a regular updating routine. So once I get the next two chapters posted it will be put on hold with the other stories and I hope to be updating on all of them around May but no promises. So until then please R&R.
