Chapter 4: The one when all hell breaks loose

Jason was just about to his truck when he felt Rylan start to stir on his shoulder he didn't think much of it since the guy was knocked out cold and figured he would just moan and groan and say his head hurt. Man was he wrong about that because before he had time to react he found himself flat on his back with Rylan standing over him pressing a knee to his throat. "Who are you?" He said pressing down harder as he was starting to get his bearing about him. Rylan was growing tired of passing out and waking up with strange people around him. He was close to snapping and taking it out on the figure below him. He pressed harder and saw the man's face going from red to blue until a scream broke him out of his trance. He looked up and saw Kim running towards him. "Rylan, stop! That's Jason my friend who I said was coming to help us!" She yelled basically shoving Rylan off of Jason as the pressure released Jason coughed and struggled to regain his breath. Kim put and arm around Jason. "Just take it easy Jason, don't freak out please. He didn't know where he was or what was going on." Kim said as she looked to Rylan who laughed sheepishly.

"Yeah my bad man, It's just we got done fighting putties and then all of a sudden I wake up being carried by some guy in a red shirt." Rylan let out another nervous laugh as he offered a hand to pull Jason up. Jason looked up and gave a half-hearted smile and took his hand.

"No offense taken. Just glad Kim was here before you killed me. You had a pretty crazy look in your eye." Jason brushed his shorts off and adjusted his shirt. "Not many people can take me down so quick, nice move kid."

"Thanks" Was all Rylan got out as he looked to Kim again, realizing that the new memories that flooded his mind were of Kim. Who was his mother, he just wasn't sure how to tell her that or even if he should. He then felt Kim wrap her arms around him breaking out of his trance again and giving him a hug. "I'm glad you're okay Rylan…you have me worried something was seriously wrong with you." She said stepping back, letting him go from their hug. "Yeah, I think my mind just over flowed with new memories. Guess it triggered some sort of shut down, restart or I just couldn't handle it and freaked out." Rylan took a couple steps back and leaned against Jason's truck. "So you want to clue us in on what's going on in that mind of yours Ry?" He heard Jason ask, he didn't really feel like responding because something about Jason just made him want to punch him right in the mouth. But he took a deep breath and let it escape from his lips slowly as he tried to think of a way to break the news to Kim. "Well John"

"It's Jason" Rylan smirked as Jason corrected him.

"Sorry, Jason" He then paused and continued "What happened was after we were fighting the putties I tried to console Kim and something inside me snapped like a lightning bolt running through my brain unlocking a whole lot of new memories. One of them of my mother, who she was and what she looked like." He felt Kim's stare on him fully he turned and looked to her she was almost leaning forward in anticipation of what was coming next. "Well come on who is she. A relative of Kim's or what?" Jason asked as he was interested to. I mean it's not every day someone from the future shows up with little memory so when he gets it back it's a big deal. Rylan was still unsure of himself; he didn't want to do something that would destroy to fabric of space and time. I mean he watched back to the future countless times! He knew news like this could change the future. But he also figured he was a ranger and who gives a damn about the rules. He was the one who got sent back in time not any of the others. He then felt a hand in his, he looked down and saw Kim's hand and smiled. It was the same thing his mother or well Kim did when she knew he was struggling with a big decision. "Well here goes nothing, my mom is…" He looks to Kim who is standing beside him and gives her hand a squeeze. "You…Kim my mom is you" He then felt her loosen her grip as he heard a gasp and felt her fall into him. He quickly caught her and laid her down so he head was in his lap. "Now I see where I get it." He said as Jason quickly rushes over to Kim's side.

"What is it with her, she faints at everything…Tommy becoming the white ranger and now this." Rylan gave Jason an odd look at the mention of Tommy's name; he didn't remember hearing to much about him from his mom. "Well it's no big deal; she will be fine we just need to get her out of here." Rylan paused as he felt the winds change and the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

"Jason" Rylan said in a calm but serious voice "get my mom out of here now!" He said as he picked Kim up quickly. Jason was about to object but saw something in Rylan's eye's that told him he meant business. Jason grabbed for the door and pulled it open with great haste as he moved to the side to let Rylan place Kim in the passenger's seat. "Get out of here now!" Rylan said as he slammed the door shut and turned to Jason. "They are coming back!" Rylan said as he was basically pushing Jason to the driver's side door. Jason started fighting back and pushed Rylan away.

"No! I'm not leaving! I can't leave you alone out here! What if something happened to you?" Rylan walked around Jason and opened his door and pointed for him to get in. "No Rylan…you just dropped this bomb on Kim, if something happens she will be crushed!" Jason said not moving, but felt Rylan's eyes boring through him.

"Jason, please she is my mom… my whole life I protected her. I'm ready to do it once again. I'll be fine; I took these guys out once before I can do it again." Jason still stood his ground but felt Rylan's hands pulling him to the car. "Jason! Please I can't fight these guys and worry about her at the same time! You need to get away with her; I couldn't live with myself if they captured her." Jason drew in a long breath, he knew Rylan was right. "Fine, but watch your ass! Once Kim is safe I'm coming back!"

Jason climbed into his truck and started the engine just as a group of putties appeared. He saw Rylan run towards them and engage them in a fight. He was impressed as the ferocity and skill Rylan fought with. Jason then slammed the truck into reverse and peeled out of the parking lot as Rylan took out putty after putty. Jason smiled and thought to himself that Rylan might be okay until he gets back. Jason slowed the truck down and looked back at the fight. That's when he noticed a huge monster with wings like an angel walking towards the battle. The creature crept through the fallen putties and walked right up behind Rylan and grabbed him by the neck, slowly turning him so they were face to face.

"So you are the one." The monster squeezed tighter as Rylan struggled to free himself "Hmm such heart, such fight in you. It will be a joy to break you" Rylan felt the raw power coming from the monster and summoned all of his strength and pushed off the monster breaking free of his grasp. He panted for air his lungs desperately needed as he glared at the monster. "What do you want?"

"What do I want? I want you…no one else. You have been on our radar since you first appeared here. Oh the joys I have in store for you." He cackled as a smirk formed on his lips

"Well sorry to disappoint you, but I have a couple tricks up my sleeve." Rylan said as he flicked his wrist and his morpher appeared. The creature shook his head as he took a step towards his new "pet".

"White Dragon…" before Rylan could finish; he felt a punch connect to his jaw dropping him like a sack of puppies. Rylan lay on the ground coughing up blood from the blow, he was in disbelief that this creature or demon or whatever the hell it was moved so quickly and powerfully.

"Your mine, you will be serving me…and will learn to call me master Dacain." Dacain bent down and placed a hand on Ryan who was still struggling to regain his composure. He then looked up and saw a red pickup coming towards him and come to a stop a few feet away from him. Dacain stood up with his hand around Rylan's neck once more and let loose an evil laugh as he vanished in a mixture of white and black light. Jason jumped from his car and sprinted to the spot where Rylan was standing. "No…no no no, how am I going to explain this to Kim." Jason yelled as he brought his hand up and rested them on his head and looked around with fear in his eyes. His mind was racing a hundred miles an hour trying to process today's events. Sure they had all been kidnapped at one point or another but this was the first time it was any of their kids. He then turned towards his truck as he saw figure in pink stirring and starting to move. "Shit" was all he could mutter threw gritted teeth as he walked to the passenger's side of the truck. Before he could reach for the door handle, the door flew open. Luckily Jason was quick enough to move and miss being drilled in the knee by the door. He watched as Kimberly went flying out of the truck and spun around in a circle taking in her surroundings. Her eyes then fixated on Jason.

"Kim, thank goodness you're alright." Jason said as he walked up to her with a halfhearted smile.

"Jason what happened? I remember Rylan telling me" she paused as she brought her hands to cover her mouth as the memories came back and she remember Rylan telling her she was his mom. "That I was his mom" She started glancing around looking for Rylan. When she couldn't find him she turned and looked back as Jason who was looking down at the ground. "Jase… where is Rylan?" Jason still looked away and Kim went and brought her hand on his chin and made him look at her. "Jason, where is my son?" Kim could feel her heart breaking inside she knew she had and strong connection with Rylan, but never would have guessed he would have been her son. Now he was gone and it had to be bad since Jason was having trouble spitting it out.

"He's gone Kim…they got him. You see you fainted, and then putties appeared again. Rylan wanted you safe so he forced me to take you." He said as he connected with Kim's eyes fully, he could see the hurt in the brown eyes of his sister. "Umm, then… a creature appeared and took him. It was the freakiest thing I have ever seen Kim. It was so fast…so powerful." Tears started to stream down Kimberly's face as she tried to process what was happening.

"No…" She whimpered out as she wrapped her arms around herself. "I know this is crazy but my heart is breaking Jason. We need to find him and get him back." Kim said as she used her shirt to dry the tears.

"We will Kim" was all Jason said as he flipped open his cell phone and hit the number for Billy, after one ring he heard Billy on the other side. "Billy, I'm with Kim and we have a problem…a ranger problem"
