Power Rangers don't own it
hey, guys, I will be going a bit more into the Jason Stacy story to link everything up later in the story.
After a couple of days, things could not be better, as Kat was visiting her parents Jason received a phone call from the office
Deputy Director: sorry to call you on vacation son, but we have a developing situation.
Jason responds to his boss "No worries go ahead"
A change in the tone of the director's voice tipped Jason that things were about to get real "we need you back son! The Viper Escaped custody on the way to lockup before standing trial, 5 officers are dead and 2 are critical 1 missing" Jason responds in shock "What! When?"
Deputy Director: about 10 hours ago, was a pro job nothing short of a small batch of mercenaries, they knew how, where and when to hit us...now son this message was left for you "Fangs Out". You caught this son of a bitch before any idea what this means?"
Jason: yes...sir, it means he about to strike, any other Intel?"
DD: he's moving that's all we know at this point, NATO Counter Terrorism is setting up a unit to track and capture him, That's your old unit if I'm not mistaken.
Jason: Yes sir it is.
DD: Good you're going to be our liaison, they expect you in on-base within 24 hours, a team will be touching down at 18:00, again sorry to ruin your vacation son.
Jason: its okay sir I understand, goodbye.
As he drops the phone Shaun calls Kat while grabbing his things.
Jason's cell rings as Kat sounded distracted "Hi Jay"
Jason: Hey, where are you?
Kat: I am at the at the mall.
Jason: the mall all the way across town?
Kat: yes, figured I would get around and see some things, what are you up to?.
Jason: K something has happened... I need to get back to work
Kat: What?! i thought you were on vacation? what happened? she asked in concern and disappointment
Jason: I will explain everything tomorrow okay, just stay at your parents tonight.
Kat: *sigh* okay, just please be careful alright. I love you. the former pink ranger said holding her hand on her heart.
At the mall a lot of things are happening young couples are everywhere, people are shopping, dining and lots more. Kat was doing some shopping of her own, keeping busy to take her mind of Jason, when she suddenly ran into an old friend by old friend I mean her British ex boyfriend-as they collide in the busy crowd Kat drops her bags "I am terribly sorry" says the ex as they both look up " Jeff... Jeff, it's me Katherine" he looks for a moment trying to remember "Oh my Gosh! Kat...Katherine Hilliard?"
Kat: "Yeah, how long has it been?"
Jeff: "I don't know... 8 years. " That's two years before she was married " WOW! You look great."
They sat down at a nearby cafe and continued their conversation. During that time,
Kat becomes aware of the fact that she should tell Jeff about her marriage to Jason, but she didn't. Their conversation went on and on... The same old sparks started to ignite, although faint they were felt. As some things happen one thing leads to another refill after refill at the local bar.
Jason arrives on base Greeted by A Captain Travis Andrews.
FlashBack
After his conversation with Stacy, Jason decided he was going to try out for the Knights at the Defensive End position. Given his previous track record in the sport, he might be able to help them out. And it's an approved way to hit a quarterback *hint hint*
On the day of trails, things were a little hectic. All the guys were there including the school's cheer squad- everybody wanted to show their stuff. As the day progressed, some potential was shown but it was not enough, they were still looking for a Defensive End. The cheerleaders got bored and left, except for Stacy. She was waiting for Jason; they were going out to a movie. As she was staring at the entrance tunnel, a built figure came running out onto the field towards the practice.
"O my gosh his actually trying out" Stacy giggled
As they ran the plays Jason showed promise, things just changed. He was a machine. His combination of speed, power, agility, and flexibility made him a force to be reckoned with. Stacy was blown away by his talent and so were the coaches, once a ranger always a ranger.
"Well done kid, you're a beast out there. You're on the team, congratulations."
Stacy came down clapping from the stands looking in an almost mocking manner, dressed in her cheer uniform and once again Jason was blown away, his jaw was sweeping the ground.
"Wow, you were actually pretty good. Why didn't you tell me you play?"
"Well you never asked I played backed at Angel Grove and I didn't care at first I... only cared about..."
"Cared about what Jason?" She looked at him with her beautiful brown eyes as if she didn't know what he was talking about, but she did. She just wanted him to say it.
Jason looked deep into Stacy's eyes then...
"Jason there's a phone call for you...it's your father (Jason whipped his head around to face the woman." And on that note, he raced off to take the phone call.
The next day of school, the hype was definitely not there even though on Friday was the Knight's first game. Jason, on the other hand, had not returned from when he left for his dad. The whole time all he could think about was Stacy. Something was happening to him. He had never felt like this.
At school as lunch came everybody was in the cafeteria and there she was also thinking about Jason while walking with her friends. Zoned out, as if she was not there.
Jason had called her last night and told her that he was alright and that he was just waiting on the news of his father. He said he would call her back as soon as he could once he had everything he needed.
"Stacy hello are you with us?" Tammy brought her back to earth
"Yeah Sure"
Her whole day she was thinking about him she was feeling something she hadn't felt for a guy before. What could it be?
Jason was living with a guy called Travis, their parents knew each other well from the Military. They were army brats, so a natural brotherhood formed. As they were chilling in the lounge talking about homecoming and things with Stacy. They were getting closer than ever but he wasn't letting her in all the way. Although they spend a lot of time together, they drifted apart. Maybe it was because Jason wasn't opening up.
"Travis I don't know man... I mean I like her but, I'm not sure" Jason said keeping a big secret is easy when you have 5 other friends keeping it with you, but this wasn't about saving the world during lunch it was love at 17.
"Look I have seen you guys together and she really likes you, man. She's just probably waiting for you to open up and tell her how you feel." Travis responded
, "it's just messed up man, you know we could up and leave at any time, and I would hate to get close to her and then have to leave her behind." Jason said
"I hear you bro, it sucks. But don't deny yourself a great thing based on that man. You should at least give it a shot."
Jason paused for a second and sat up from his relaxed position "You know what? You right. Plus homecoming is coming up, I think I will ask her to the dance"
Travis raises his arms up almost relieved and says "Yeah dude, that's the ticket. Now all we have to do is win the homecoming game, and with me running Offence and you running D we are a shoe in"
As homecoming drew closer, Jason was always looking for the right time to ask Stacy to the dance. But the every time she was distracted with the whole entrance and promoting Tammy's homecoming queen campaign. He would have to make a plan. Thursday came and that meant 1 more day till homecoming, Jason finally got Stacy alone as she was on her way to practice.
"Hey Stacy" he greets
"Hi Jason how are you?" she replies
"Me? I'm good yeah. Can you believe homecoming is tomorrow?" Jason was not he's regular charming self.
"I know, it's gonna be awesome. I can't wait to stick it to the sharks. You guys are gonna do great" Stacy was trying to make it as easy for him as possible to pick up what she is putting out.
"Yeah... So umm, do you have a date for the dance?" Jason asks clutching he's backpack strap
"No... I mean I have been asked but I'm waiting for the right guy to ask me" she says
Stacy thought to herself that this was the moment she had been waiting for since Tammy's party. He was finally gonna ask her out. She put on her picture perfect smile, hypnotizing Jason. He opened his mouth and as the words began to roll out
"Stacy!" Tammy calls her urgently. "Come on we need to practice for homecoming"
"I'm coming. Yeah Jason what were you saying" still with the smile on her face
"Umm never mind... I'll talk to you later k see ya."
He proceeded to walk away, and she just did the same just as disappointed
During practice, in the huddle, the team put Jason on the hot seat
"So Jason, you ask her out man?"
"Nah man I chickened out. I had her man"
Jake spoke up "Jason you full of it! Everybody knows she likes you. She wants to go with you to homecoming. She turned down so many people waiting for you to ask her. So stop being funny and step up."
The broke the huddle and carried on with practice as Jason looks across at Stacy, and she looked back at him giving him an inviting smile.
Homecoming
The time to stick it to Raiden High had arrived. The school day was full of hype there was energy everywhere. Parents were filling up the parking bays. It Was Go Time and everybody knew it. This was not about making the playoffs as that ship had sailed, it was purely about pride.
The Knights charged out of the locker room and waited in the entrance way. The sharks head out and their fans go off and the commentators could heard over the radio
"Hell,o Folks we are live here at Saint Michael's Prep as they take on Raiden High. And here comes the sharks with their current undefeated streak a shoe in for another state championship, you can bet they are confident they will take another win on their way to the playoffs, especially here at their rivals home ground. I can barely hear myself over this crowd. This is a game of pride for the knights as this rivalry goes back, And here they come Saint Michael's Knights and listen to this. I'll you bring back at kick off."
The commentator spoke again
"This has been absolute domination by the sharks the Knights are going to need alil bit more than help in the second half or this game is gonna be a massacre"
The team was finished anger disappointment suffocated the locker room, the coach was trying to bring their spirits up as Jason and Travis walked in... the mood changed as the coach delivered his speech
"Gentleman you are an unbelievable team, filled with hope, determination, fighting spirit and the hearts of lions. They are a team but WE are a family. And you don't let your family fall! You don't let your family cry! And you never let your family stand alone! I want you guys to go out there and play like one heartbeat. In synchronization. Jump in the shark tank with both feet. Let them know who we are! Let them know what we do! Let them feel the heat! Let them feel the pain! And make those let those little fish Regret the day they stepped into our hell zone. NOW GO GET EM!"
They took the field again but as if they had been supercharged, Jason and Travis at the back "Let's go make history" Travis said
"Hello, again I'm Kevin Harper if you just joining us the Knights are losing 21-3 its just after halftime and listen to the shark crowed they have just completely shut down St Michael's here there team are huddled up and awaiting kick off."
After that, a loud roar began from the crowd
"Wait a minute, something is going on down there... St Michael's seems as if... Here they come and listen to this crowed, if there was a roof it would blow right off. Jason lee Scott and Travis Andrews are stepping out of the tunnel and onto the gridiron, the atmosphere just changed the crowd just came alive."
Kevin was sounding like how wrestling announcers speak when the popular guy makes an appearance. The mood just shifted everyone was hyped up like crazy.
Just off their seats going crazy the sharks were just not caring as they had one hell of a cushion, to sit on but their coaches were thinking that they had a game now. The faith of the knights was brought back. Kick off to the second half started the game.
It was the 4th quarter the score 24-20 with 42 seconds left of play, sharks had the ball all they had to do was hold it and it was over do or die time had arrived. The Knights had to score a touchdown to win this game. The sharks needed a first down to take a knee and run the clock out, the rain began to pour down. Jason Huddled his Defensive line "This is it boys, this is where we become rock stars and make history. You see a Shark you hit him! But leave Jeff to me, been waiting for this...Travis wants the ball to let's get it for him."
Kevin began to call what would be the last few moments of the game,
"There at the line of scrimmage at the Knights 30, 3rd and 6, timeouts all out, a first down here will end the game and break Knights hearts...and play begins Jeff is out the pocket, he scrambling... Looking for a receiver. He's going for it and he is sacked!" Jason hit him with all he had, almost as payback for the Party...saying "Name's Jason Scott and I guess I hit harder than you bro" while laughing. Kevin continued "What a HIT! Jason Scott! And he fumbles the ball! Tim recovers and the Knights have hope yet they got the ball and 33 seconds to work their magic."
The stadium was rocking with the sound of marching bands playing and fans cheering, cheerleaders dancing and chanting...the waving of school color flags almost changed the color of the night
"Will this be a fairy tale of heroes or will it be the end of the knights most valiant of quests they line up with 15 seconds, left 10 seconds, Travis drops back, play action, Jake Towers is going deep no time left Travis throws deep..."
At that moment the world of St Michael's Prep slowed down all focus was on the ball as it spiraled down the field and into Jake's hands...
"What a Catch! What a throw! 35 yard pass and Jake Towers is gonna go. All. The. Way. Knights win! Knights win! What a game! Knights win!"
It was pandemonium as a light shower of rain came down but people ran onto the pitch anyway it was crazy. Stacy ran into Jason's arms and as he spun her around they made eye contact ... slowly Jason put her down and stares deep into her dark brown eyes. She leans forward... but they are drawn apart by the excited mob.
End Flashback
"Good to see you again Travis, i see you still cant do big things without me," Jason said walking towards him
"Oh you know you couldn't put points on the board without me" Travis grinned extending his arms as the two shared a brotherly embrace.
