I do not own Power rangers SPD. Disney does. Saban Enterprise owns MMPR. The only thing I do own is my character Emma.
Tommy was waiting at the park when I walked up to him. I was still wearing jeans and a t-shirt that Kim and Trini had given me in '93.
"Wow, I haven't seen you wear that in years." Tommy said. "I thought you were on a mission."
"I am still on a mission, just on a break." Tommy looked confused, as I joined him on the bench. "Think about it for a second."
"You're wearing clothes that Kim and Trini gave you in '93."
"Yep."
"Does it have to do with the Power Rangers?"
"Yep."
"Are you going back in time?"
"Bingo." Tommy looked even more confused now than he did before.
"I only remember you coming once in 1993."
"That's because when you went back, we took your memory of what happened."
"What? Now I'm completely lost."
"The Dark Wizard went back in time to help Rita, and soon Zedd, Divatox, Mesagog and other villains. My mission is to stop him." I explained. "However, his plan involves bringing past rangers back here, leaving their time unprotected."
"What!"
"But, we can send the rangers back to the exact time the Dark Wizard took them and they will have no memory of what happened." Tommy was quiet. "You have no memory of what happened, like saving me from Rita's Dark Dimension."
"What!" I handed Tommy his letter to himself.
"It's a let from you." Tommy opened his letter and read it.
"The Coin of Destruction?" Tommy wondered. "What is that, and why did I help you find it?"
"It's what the Dark Wizard has been looking for. We have the Medaglia of Gods, Coin of Gods, and with the Coin of Destruction, we take power away from the Dark Wizard." I explained. "They are both powerful coins that give the user extreme power, one that no one can stop, unless both are used against each other."
"Then after we found the Coin of Destruction, Goldar then kidnapped you and put you in the Dark Dimension where I saved you."
"Yep."
"So, the Dark Wizard took the Rangers here and left Angel Grove unprotected?" I nodded.
"I feel like it was too easy to figure out his plan. It was too…simple."
"It may be only part of his plan." Tommy stated.
"That's what I was thinking."
"Have you talked to anyone else about this?"
"No." I said simply. "Everyone left by the time I got to the lounge."
"Is something else bothering you?"
"It's nothing."
"No, I can tell that it is something." Tommy said. "You can talk to me." I hesitated. "Let's walk." We stood up and started walking through the park. "Talk."
"I've been thinking about my family, my real family." I told him. "My life has been a crazy roller coaster. I thought my family died, I lived that way for years. Then I became a ranger and learned that the Dark Wizard was my father, then I found out that Kat and Cruger knew and that my mom was also evil and died at birth. Then I go back in time because the Dark Wizard was trying to turn me evil, but the Time Traveler saved me. After 14 weeks, I finally get back only to find out that I am related to Jason, my dad died when I was a baby and my mom was turned evil by the Dark Wizard who tried to turn me evil, but was saved by Jason and his wife." I took a breath after my rambling. "I just want to set things straight and figure things out. I want to know the truth." I looked at Tommy. "I don't want the others to know because I feel like they wouldn't understand and would want me to focus on other things." Tommy put his hands in his pockets, saying nothing. "The Dark Wizard knows things about me Tommy, things he shouldn't know." I paused. "I just don't know where to start."
"We need to get a hold of Jason." I stopped and looked at Tommy.
"That wasn't the reaction I was expecting."
"You need to tell Jason. He's the one person who can help you."
"Except no one can get a hold of him." I said. "I left him a message right before you called."
"Let me call Emily. Maybe she knows where he is." Tommy grabbed his phone and dialed a number.
"Hey Emily, it's Tommy."
"Hey Tommy, what's up?"
"I'm here with Emma, she needs to talk to Jason, but we can get a hold of him."
"He's out on a business trip. Is everything alright?"
"She needs some answers about her family."
"Let me talk to her."
"Are you sure? You haven't seen her in a few years."
"Just let me talk to her." Tommy held out the phone.
"Emily want to talk to you." I took the phone from Tommy.
"Hello?"
"Hey Emma, it's Emily. You have questions about your family?"
"Yeah, I need to set things straight." I told her, slowly. "I want to know the truth about my family." I paused. "There are people out there that miss me, right?"
"Absolutely." Emily said. "You've been gone a long time. I will set you a box that might help, but I will make sure Jason calls you soon."
"Thanks."
"It was good talking to you." Emily said, sounding happy.
"Same."
"We'll talk again soon. Bye."
"Bye." I hung up Tommy's phone.
"Did that help?" Tommy asked as I handed him his phone.
"Emily's going to send me a box, apparently it will help."
"You're going to be fine." Tommy said. "Trust me on this."
"I have always trusted you." Tommy gave me a hug.
"So, is there anything else that happened in the day no one remembers." Tommy asked.
"Remember how I told you and the others that I lost part of my powers." Tommy nodded. "Well, I got them back."
"Really?" I showed him a fire ball.
"Wind." I got rid of the fire ball and focused my energy on a nearby tree. A sudden, gentle, breeze began to blow. "And now earth." I found a flower that had yet to bloom and made it bloom. I looked at Tommy.
"I'm impressed."
"I can control Ice and apparently light, but I haven't had anything happen."
"Can you even control light?"
"I don't know, haven't tried. I have used Ice in the past, but only when I first started."
"Try it now." I made a water ball and focused my energy on turning the ball of water into ice. It worked. "See, I knew you could do it." Tommy said. "Now light."
"Who needs light when I have ice?" Tommy chuckled. I dropped the ball of ice and it shattered when it hit the ground.
"You should head back and I should get ready to go." Tommy said. I gave Tommy a hug.
"It was good to see you."
"Same to you."
"Say hi to Kim for me, and any of the others if you see them."
"I will." Tommy said. "And I think I will start calling you about once a week." I looked at Tommy.
"Really, you will?"
"I will definitely try." I gave Tommy another hug. "And I want to talk to Jason about something else." I looked at Tommy confused. "It will be a surprise."
"Um…ok." I gave Tommy a smile. "I'll be fine. I'll talk to you later." Tommy and I went our separate ways.
I walked into the lounge where Z, Sky and Bridge were sitting.
"Where were you?" Z asked.
"Out." I said. "Tommy had to end his trip early because of a family emergency, so I went to see him."
"Is everything ok?" Z asked.
"Yeah." I started for my room. "I'm going to change and then I'm going to go train."
"Perfect. I will come with you." Sky said, starting to get up.
"No, I'm going to train alone." I went into my room, quickly changed, and walked back out.
"Emma, are you sure everything is ok?" Z asked again.
"Yes, I'm sure." I said, leaving the lounge. I went straight to the training room and started training.
"Something is up." Z told Kat and Cruger. "She says everything is fine, but I don't think it is."
"Where is she now?" Cruger asked.
"Training by herself." Z stated. "She has never trained by herself, or willingly."
"Or at least not that you know of." Z turned around. I was standing there, arms folded.
"Emma, what is going on?" Z asked.
"Nothing." I told her. "I wanted to try with magic, by myself."
"We are here to help, Emma." Z stated. "Bridge, Syd, myself, and even Sky. We want to help."
"Because you're required to as my teammates."
"Because we're your friends."
"Cadet Richardson." I turned and faced Cruger. "Kat and I have also noticed something has been bothering you the last few weeks." I sighed.
"We can help." Z said again.
"Ok, fine. You win." I said, annoyed. "I've been thinking a lot about my family and how everything is a giant mess. Nothing makes sense and today, I am starting to make sense of it."
"You don't have to do this alone, we can help." Z said. "I can't stress it enough."
"I don't need help." I said.
"If you wanted to look into your parents, all you need to do was ask." Kat said.
"You found information about my family once, and it ended up being false information." I told them. "No offense, but I rather do it my way, which starts with Jason." I stated. "It won't interfere with anything."
"Alright." Cruger said. "Cadet Richardson." Cruger motioned for me to come closer. I walked over to him.
"Yes Commander?"
"I hope you find what you are looking for." Cruger said. "But do not forget we are here for you. If you need help, do not hesitate to ask."
"Yes Commander." I said. "Thank you." I turned and left the Command Center. Z followed.
"Emma, wait." I stopped and turned. "I am not trying to help just because I'm your fellow ranger." Z started. "I'm your friend, and I hope you can trust me like an older sister." Z paused. "I don't have any family, nor did Jack. We considered each other as family and I consider you, and the others, as family as well."
"Z."
"I want to help you."
"Fine." I said. "You can help." I looked at Z. "I…I've always trusted you like an older sister, but I don't want to burden you."
"Maybe something interesting will happen." I chuckled.
"Because nothing interesting ever happens." Z laughed.
"So, where does our search begin?" Z asked.
"After I get my package from Emily and Jason." I told her. "But our main focus is to be the Dark Wizard."
"He won't be too much of a problem." Z said. "We already know of his plan."
"Don't you feel like it's too easy?" I asked as we walked through the door to the lounge.
"What's too easy?" Syd asked. Bridge and Sky looked interested as well.
"The Dark Wizards plan, it feels too easy." I explained. "We figured it out way too quickly." Sky looked at me.
"You're right." He said. "This is too simple."
"So then, what do we do?" Syd asked.
"What we would have done. Act like we know nothing and prepare for the worst." I told them.
I went to my schooling with Kat, wrote in my journal, and then went to bed.
The next morning, I woke up and got ready. I walked out of my room and noticed none of the others were around. I grabbed an apple and ate it before heading to the command center. Commander Cruger was the only one there.
"Good morning Commander." I said. "Where is everybody?"
"Kat is in her lab working. Z and Syd are on patrol. I am not sure where Sky and Bridge are."
"Oh. Ok." I said. "I guess I'll go, do something." I turned to leave.
"Cadet Richardson." I turned back to face Cruger. "Have you practiced your magic before?"
"Not since I learned to control it."
"Did you actually practice your magic last night?"
"Yes," I said. "I was practicing with my ice magic." I paused and made a water ball appear. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath. I opened my eyes and blew onto the water ball, turning it to ice. I then brought my other hand over it and turned the ice into snow. I moved both my hands and let the snow slowly fall to the ground.
"You're coming much stronger."
"Thank you sir." I smiled. "I froze most of the equipment in the training room." A beeping sound came from the computers. "Commander? What is that?" I asked, as I moved towards the computer.
"That's our alarm to tell when time is being changed." Kat said as she walked in. "To tell us."
"The Dark Wizard went back in time." I grabbed my necklace and checked the year. "1994." I looked at Kat. "We need Sky."
"Sky. Report to the Command Center immediately." There was no reply.
"I'll be right back." I hurried to the lounge and looked around and sighed. Quickly changing into something more '94 style and looked around again before I hurried back to the Command Center, shoulder bag in tow. "Still no Sky?"
"I found his morpher. Boom went to retrieve him."
"We need to watch for any signs the Dark Wizard brought the past rangers here." Sky walked in with Boom.
"What's wrong?"
"Answer your morpher next time. We need to go." I grabbed the hourglass and Sky took the other side.
Yes, another "past" story, but with a twist. Will Emma be able to learn anything about her family? Will she grow as a ranger? What is the Dark Wizard doing? Is this the only thing he is doing?
