Chapter 4 – Explanations
Tommy and Jason walked into the Juice Bar and went to place everyone's orders and let Ernie know that they needed him to close down for an emergency meeting when they were introduced to a friend of Ernie's.
"Jason, Tommy, this is Ernie Gold. He's my assistant while he is working on opening his own Juice Bar down in Harwood County."
"Nice to meet you, Ernie we need two things…" Jason trailed off not sure how to say this without the new guy questioning them.
"Anything Jason."
"We need our regular orders. All 18 of us are going to be here and we need you to close for an emergency meeting." Tommy spoke.
"Wait, you want him to close the whole place down for 18 people?" the new Ernie questioned.
"Ern, you have to understand these guys don't ask me to do it often but when they do it's always for a good reason and to help a lot of people out. Trust me. Why don't you take the rest of the day off and I'll handle it from here." Ernie answered knowing that the younger men wouldn't ask him to do this if it wasn't important.
"Alright if you say so."
"Maybe one day you'll have the same things go on." Ernie chuckled. The younger Ernie shook his head and left without another word.
Tommy decided to go see if his cousins were here yet while Jason waited for the food knowing that it was Jase's turn to pay anyway. He let Kim know where he was going and headed outside.
(Juice Bar Parking Lot)
Flynn was standing at the edge of the grass looking towards the lake; he just couldn't shake the feeling that he knew Scott and Summer from somewhere. When he heard the door to the establishment open he thought maybe it was Jason or Trini but saw it was the guy with Summer's cousin heading towards a black vehicle parked at the end of the building. Standing outside the vehicle were three more people Flynn could have sworn he knew from somewhere. This is getting really weird. Coming from around the building were another three and they all started walking to the middle of the parking lot where Scott and Summer were standing. Tommy had already headed back inside so there were no witnesses to this strange occurrence.
"Who are you people?" Kendall Morgan asked standing side by side with her two best friends Gem and Gemma.
"We could ask you the same question. I feel like I know you all from somewhere but I swear I've never seen you before in my life." Dillion spoke.
"Look, I just came here because my cousin wanted me too. I'm sure the feeling of knowing each other is just a dream. Come on Scott, let's go inside." Summer mentioned before taking Scott's hand and walking passed everyone else to go inside.
They all just shook their heads and went inside hoping that Summer's idea was right and it was just a dream.
(Trini, Billy, and Andros)
"Are you sure that your cousin mentioned Venjix?" Trini questioned Billy.
"Affirmative, although she said it was called the Venjix virus. For some reason Kendall thinks she was to blame for whatever it was that happened to destroy the earth in this dream world."
Tommy walked up with Jason and T.J. and had a concerned look on his face.
"Did you say something about Venjix?" Tommy asked.
"Flynn and Kendall have both mentioned having strange dreams. Gem and Gemma as well. We need to get this started so we can figure out what is going on." Trini answered.
They called the meeting to order and were hoping that the explanations and outcomes weren't going to be what they thought. Right now, it doesn't look very good if Venjix has mentioned. Everyone was sitting around when Trini and Billy stood in front of them calling the eight people who have just arrived in California to the front.
"I don't understand, why are Scott and Summer being called to question? They are just here because they are related to T.J. and I." Kim spoke.
"Hopefully nothing Kim, they could have nothing to do with this but we need to make sure none of them are involved in this mess."
Summer and Scott held hands as they sat in front of the rest of the room along with the other six who say they know them from somewhere. Summer feels the start of an anxiety attack coming on and her boyfriend is doing the best he can to keep her calm. Scott knew that Summer was afraid of what her cousin would think if she found out Summer had strange dreams just like he did.
"Raise your hand if you have been having strange dreams lately concerning colored suits and robots in a domed city of sorts." Andros spoke getting the meeting started.
Flynn, Kendall, Gem and Gemma were the first to raise their hands. Ziggy, Dillion, and Tanaya were next, and finally Scott raised his and Summer's conjoined hands. Summer started to cry silently but it was enough for Kim to notice. She got out of her seat and passed her 3 year old daughter to Kira before approaching Summer.
"Summer…is there something you need to tell me?" Kim asked her younger cousin.
Summer shook her head, she knew if she told Kim she wouldn't believe her. Not with their history together. Scott grasped her hand encouraging her to talk to Kim.
"Summer, if you know something I need to know. We can't help you or stop this if you don't let me." Kim coaxed.
Summer sighed, "I've been having these dreams for about 6 months. When I mentioned it to mom and dad they laughed and told me not to mention it again or they were going to have me locked up. First it started off with yellow, red and blue suited warriors fighting these robots, but as time passed more suited warriors started to appear. I haven't been able to figure any of this out but they call it the Venjix virus."
"Do you know how the virus started?" Trini asked.
"I can answer that." Kendall spoke.
"Kendall, it isn't your fault." Gem told her.
"In the dreams I am the one who created the Venjix virus. I'm not sure how but I know that I caused this somehow. I'm also the one who created the colored suits everyone is dreaming about."
"Andros, according to the scans from their brainwaves this stuff is true." Zhane reported.
"That's what we thought. You eight were a part of the power ranger history. Just in a different dimension."
"That's what we thought. What he means is that you guys would have been a part of ranger history had we not stopped Venjix on the moon in 2002."
"Who is Venjix and why does it seem like you guys are worried?" Tanaya asked.
"Time for a history lesson." T.J. chuckled.
