Chapter Summery: Dillon has a choice to make

Epp Used: Rain

Authors Notes:

Ranger Black….Or maybe not?

Dillon pulled on his leather jacket and with a sigh closed up the locker before following the guards to where a Jeep was waiting; with a sigh and a heavy heart, he gave the prison one last look before they started towards the Ranger's HQ. Wondering what he was doing Dillon growled again as he spotted Summer and Scott waiting for him.

"Don't worry I'll keep an eye on Ziggy" said Robin with a smile as Dillon nodded before getting out as they came to a stop.

"So here we are home sweet home," said Scott as Dillon rolled his eyes, Scott just laughed as he punched in the code for the doors.

'ACCESS GRANTED WELCOME BACK RANGER SERIES RED'

"We call it the Garage," said Summer as they entered.

"See if you can guess why?" said Flynn from somewhere under a blue truck as Dillon rolled his eyes.

The flashy playboy's car in the corner caught Dillon's eye as he figured whom it belonged to, suddenly his mischievous side came out.

"Yours?" asked Dillon as Scott laughed and nodded.

"Yeah all 700 horses" said Scott proudly as Dillon just chuckled.

"Cute toy but I'll stick to a real mans car" said Dillon as Scott huffed and stormed over to him.

"Like what? That hunk of junk you drove in with? That can't compete with my baby," growled Scott as Dillon looked smug.

"That hunk of junk as you call my car has survived the Wasteland for over three years now, tell me Ranger Series Red could yours?" asked Dillon as he watched Scott splutter and storm off in a huff.

"I thought not," laughed Dillon as Summer just shook her head as Flynn hid his smile.

"Anyway?" interrupted Summer as she walked over to the computer area and lent against the table there.

"Theses are the real toys," she added as the screens before them started showing images of the Zords and much more.

"Where did all this stuff come from?" asked Dillon as his interest had been peeked.

'It came from me' came a computerized voice from nowhere making Dillon look around.

'Come in I'll show you' said the voice again as a set of doors hissed open before them.

Dillon had a bad feeling about this as he followed the others into the room, shivering slightly as the low temperature in the room hit him until his internal Venjix technology corrected the difference. Dillon's mind began to wonder, as he suddenly doubted his sanity as the robotic voice droned on and on, Dillon began scanning the room, as he wanted to be anywhere but here.

'.....concluding in these the Ranger Prototype Series Covert Infantry Bio Suites' said the voice smugly as the three chambers to their side lit up revealing the Red, Yellow, and Blue Ranger uniforms.

"Riiiiight because nothing says covert like bright red, yellow and blue spandex" laughed Dillon as suddenly the voice went off on one but Dillon didn't care, whatever the voice said it was spandex.

"My mistake now is that machine washable or strictly dry clean only?" asked Dillon as he found himself unable to resist the temptation to wind up the mysterious voice calling itself Dr K.

Dillon enjoyed it more as he noticed for the second time he might have an ally in the Blue Ranger, as the young Scotsman tried to hide his smile, as Dr K got more and more upset with him.

'You've seen this in action, you know what it can do' came the pissed off voice again as Dillon sighed.

"Yes it's all very impressive but I don't belong here, I'm not cut out to be your Black Power Dude" said Dillon with a sigh as he thought of Ziggy back in the prison.

'RANGER OPERATOR SERIES BLACK'

"Whatever I'm no superhero I was just keeping a promise to someone important to me. So if you don't mind I've got places to go..." said Dillon as Summer got in his way.

"And people to see, what do you mean you made a promise?" growled Summer as Flynn got in Dillon's face.

"Now how I see it the only place you have to go too is back into that cell we found you in," growled a frustrated Flynn.

"And how long do you think that's going to hold me Blue boy?" countered Dillon as he gave back what Flynn was throwing at him.

"Guy's forget him, this chump wouldn't make it though basic testing anyway" said Scott smugly as Dillon heard the challenge thrown his way.

"Testing? What testing?" asked Dillon as he followed the other to another room in the lab.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Ziggy was huddled up against his bunk as he kept hidden, Bison the guard with the unnatural likening for him was working his wing of the prison. He hadn't seen Robin in a few days; Ziggy was worried for himself and his baby.

"Ah there you are pretty boy, on your feet" growled Bison as he entered the cell and dragged Ziggy to his feet.

"Doc needs to see you and the brat your carrying" growled Bison as Ziggy nodded nervously, suddenly Ziggy started to get that bad feeling as he was detoured to the shower room.

"What's going on?" asked Ziggy as Bison and he were left alone.

"Doc needs you searched and cleaned up before he examines you" cackled Bison as Ziggy hugged himself.

"STRIP NOW, oh and before you kick up about that brute of yours he was checked out yesterday. The Power brats took him for one of them, why I will never know or care. All I know is your ass is mine and I intend to enjoy it," laughed Bison with a happy growl as Ziggy got that sinking feeling again.

Ziggy did as he was told, knowing to well if he turned to hide himself that Bison would hurt him. Therefore, with a great embarrassment and shame Ziggy began to remove his clothing until he was down to his boxer shorts. Ziggy stopped hoping Bison had seen his fill but the look on his face told Ziggy he wanted more, feeling sick to his stomach Ziggy started to pull them down when he was stopped.

"BISON BACK DOWN" yelled a voice that Ziggy knew well.

"Corporal Hicks, I thought that Colonel Truman had reassigned you back to command?" asked Bison in a panic.

"He did, I just had something to do first. Since Ziggy here was missing from his cell when I arrived, I checked with the guards and they said that the doctor had called for him. So I headed to the infirmary only to find that the Doctor had no record of Ziggy's appointment. This is a request for the Prison Command that inmate 997 - 45B Grover, Ziggy is to be moved to Medical Ward 6. He's only to be visited with a written request," said Robin with a smile as he handed the request to Bison who shot into a salute before storming off.

"Hey kid," said Robin as he helped Ziggy up before handing him his clothing.

"You're...."

"Truman's right hand man? Yep don't worry he's not getting close to you again. When I was busted down to do this job I thought it was a punishment, now I'm heading back to my normal post I'm sorry to be going. I'll come see you as often as I can kid," said Robin as he hugged Ziggy who bust out crying as he let go and slid down the wall.

"Dillon's gone" sniffled Ziggy as he hugged himself; Robin felt his heart break as he sat down next to Ziggy.

"He may be but he didn't have a choice after the fight in the canteen, Colonel Truman was going to have him shutdown. you see he was ruled to be more Venjix Tec then human so he was declared a Venjix Drone, the Ranger's saved his life" said Robin as Ziggy looked up and gave a weak smile.

"I still miss him," said Ziggy as Robin hugged him.

"Don't worry kid, from what I saw, if there is a way to get you out he will" said Robin as he helped Ziggy to his feet.

"Come on it's time to save your ass, until your knight arrives to save you" said Robin with a smile as they headed towards the medical ward.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

After almost three days of Ranger testing Dillon was getting pissed off, sitting on his bunk Dillon had no interest in listening to the other Rangers or Dr K as they discussed him and his implants. He could careless the only thing he could think about was Ziggy rotting away in that cell, with a sigh Dillon pulling on his jacket he went to leave when he was met by the others in the doorway.

"Come on Dillon we need to talk," said Summer as they all headed to their vehicles before Dillon found himself being dragged toward the park.

"Corinth City, self efficient, self sustained living environment" said Summer as they walked.

"Everything recycled, everything's programmed even the weather" said Summer as the skies above them flashed with a storm revealing the dome above them.

"I know what your doing, your trying to show me what I'd be fighting to protect" said Dillon as Sumer growled.

"I'm trying to show why it's worth fighting for," said Summer with an annoyed sign

"You're trying to make me care," growled Dillon who was getting annoyed with the Yellow Ranger.

"Once your DNA is bonded with the Series Black Morpher, it's permanent we'd be trusting you with all this" yelled Summer as she stopped Dillon from walking.

"DON'T! You can't" growled Dillon

"Why not" demanded Summer

"I'm just not that kind of person, someone trusted me to save them once...."

"And your still out there look for them even if you can remember who they are?" said Summer making Dillon growl.

"Not really but close" growled Dillon as he shot Summer a dirty look.

Dillon sighed as the rain started, as the Rangers walked away he watched two young children. a brother and a sister as they played, by the time the storm has passed Dillon had a solution to all his problems.

"So you'll do it?" asked Summer smugly

"I'll do it, one condition," said Dillon as Scott smiled and the other looked on.

"Oh you have conditions now?" laughed Scott as Dillon just smiled.

"Just one" said Dillon as they walked back to the vehicles.

"So what's your condition?" asked Scott as Dillon went to get into his car.

"The kid I arrived with Ziggy, he hadn't done anything wrong except arriving with me. Get him cleared and out safely and you have a deal," said Dillon with a smile as he got in, Summer and Flynn looked at Scott as he just shook his head.

"Why not? Dillon's right. No one looked after the kid; they just branded him the same as Dillon. What's the harm he gets freed and we get Series Black online?" said Summer as Scott sighed.

"OK" yelled Scott in a huff as Dillon laughed.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Ziggy bounded out of the prison and into Dillon's car in joy, once Dillon was inside too Ziggy practically jumped onto him.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" asked Ziggy as he kissed Dillon hard.

As a sudden sound of Scott clearing his throat made them look up, Summer was blushing, Scott was stunned and Flynn was grinning.

"Well I guess we know why he wanted him freed so badly" laughed Flynn as he returned to his truck.

Ziggy blushed from the passenger seat as Dillon smirked as he started up his car, the ride back to the Garage was a quite one as Ziggy's mind raced. He was finally free and away from Bison but now, he had to deal, with the Ranger's knowing about him and Dillon not to mention her needed someway of telling Dillon he's about to be a father.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Ziggy was totally blown away with the Garage as he entered it, getting out the car he was like a kid in a candy shop until Dr K spoke up.

'Why do you have an unauthorised civilian with you Ranger Operator Series Black?' demanded Dr K as Ziggy jumped.

"You want me you deal with my demands" said Dillon as he pulled Ziggy closer and pulled him over to the car.

"Come on lets leave these guys to tell IT the bad news" laughed Dillon as Ziggy nodded and got back into the car.

Diving off Dillon couldn't help but smile, having Ziggy back at his side made him feel like he could take on the whole Venjix army on his own. Ziggy on the other hand was petrified, he was back in a city that wanted him dead, he was pregnant and now the father was about to make a deal with the devil to save him but put himself in the line of fire.

"Hey earth to Ziggy you ok? You seem a little distracted" said Dillon as he pulled over and turned to face Ziggy.

"Yeah I'm just happy to be out of that place, too many bad times," said Ziggy with a shudder as Bison suddenly appeared in mind, luckily Dillon chose that time to pull Ziggy closer to him.

"Hungry?" asked Dillon as Ziggy gave him 'are you mad? Of course I am' look making Dillon chuckle.

"Then it looks like I'm taking you on a date then" laughed Dillon as they drove off.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

After some minor arguments and Ziggy's brilliant directions later, Dillon pulled up outside the only Pizza Parlour in all of Corinth City. Dillon suddenly began to wonder about how in such a small area like the dome could he possibly have gotten that lost? Especially when he looked out his mirror and could see the Garage in the distance. With a defeated sigh, he got out just in time to see Ziggy leap looking nervous.

"Hey Zig what us?" asked Dillon as he pulled his lover closer to him

"Remember all that shit I told you about my past?" asked Ziggy as Dillon nodded

"Well a lot of it was here, you see I've know the owner since I was well tiny, when Venjix attacked and I lost my way he found me a took me in. When I joined, the Cartels Fresno Bob found out and would send me here to collect his protection money. I hated it, I haven't spoke to the owner in years when he helped me get out of the city" said Ziggy with a sigh.

"We could always find somewhere else to eat?" said Dillon as Ziggy looked up at him.

"Thanks but no thanks I need to sort thing out here," said Ziggy as he drew courage from Dillon as they enter. The chime from the door alerted the young man behind the counter to the new customers.

"Welcome to JKP, I'm Casey what can I……..Ziggy? Now way what are you doing back in the City?" asked the young man as he suddenly spotted Ziggy and pulled him into a hug.

"It's a long story Case," said Ziggy as he looked at the floor nervously as he played with his shirt, as if he could read Ziggy's mind Casey pushed Ziggy's hand from his shirt and made him look at him.

"Stop doing that" said Casey in his best parent voice

"Ziggy Milo Granger how many times to I have to tell you, we've both forgiven the past you need to stop beating yourself up about it your parents would be embarrassed to see you so ashamed of yourself" said Casey as Ziggy looked shocked at the mention of his parents.

"Have you heard from them?" asked Ziggy as he shook his head

"Sorry Ziggy we've still got total silence from that," said Casey sadly, as he hugged Ziggy.

"Anyway it's good to see you again, come on I'll give you a good seat and a pizza on the house" said Casey as they sat down.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Ziggy and Dillon ate the pizza they'd chosen; Dillon had been confused about the earlier conversation between Ziggy and Casey.

"They where helping fight Venjix" said Ziggy as Dillon jumped slightly.

"They didn't even know about the evacuation until I was on my way to Corinth, they sent RJ and Casey to find me and a few other kid from their families. After the Dome went online we lost contact with them, it's been almost four years but RJ and Casey still keep the radio open encase they mange to find their way to the city" said Ziggy with a sigh, without thinking Dillon reached over the table and took Ziggy's hand in his.

"And we'll keep trying, it's good to see you again kid" said a voice that made Ziggy jump to his feet.

"RJ" said Ziggy as the older man hugged Ziggy hard.

Feeling more then a little jealous Dillon examined the man before him, his hippyish personality and flour-covered clothing would have made him an easy target for Venjix but there was something underneath something Dillon couldn't place and that made him nervous.

"He's not a threat Dill, actual he far from it he's was my protector before you" said Ziggy as RJ sat at his side and rolled up his sleeve making Dillon choke.

"It seams you and you and I are in the same boat, news even secret news travels fast," laughed RJ as he looked over to Casey who smirked back.

"This is between us Dillon, I have no love for Dr K and she for me. Yes, that voice is female. Ziggy's parents where some the best of the best, they where Power Rangers his mother was a Red Ranger and proud of him. I had the honour of calling them both friends, when Venjix attacked they were caught by surprise just like everyone else.

They tried to help as much as they could, but the Rangers where spread too thin. Last communication from them said that they were all heading to Angel Grove to the Command Centre of the Original five rangers. That was three years ago, the radiation outside the dome means that even these have problems getting a signal out?" said RJ as he indicated to his Morpher and the watch like communicator under it.

Dillon looked up at Ziggy who was blushing but also holding back the tears as he spoke about the family he'd lost. Dillon got up and went to Ziggy who he pulled close and held him while he cried. Suddenly the long forgotten Morpher in Dillon's pocket started going off making them all groan.

"Ah the shrieking call of the bitch from hell, welcome to the world of the overworked and underpaid life of a Power Rangers" said RJ as Dillon nodded before he and Ziggy left JKP.

RJ sighed as he walked over to the till; grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge, he motioned for Casey to follow him. Up in the loft RJ let out a sigh that filled the room as he felt his mates hand come to rest on his shoulder.

"She had to choose them didn't she, that stupid bitch had to take the technology she stole from us and fuck it up again. If the Venjix virus wasn't bad enough, she's being allowed to torture innocent kids now," said RJ as Casey listened.

"Your worried about Ziggy aren't you?" asked Casey as RJ nodded

"He's a Ranger's child; any Morpher created will bond with his DNA it's engrained into him. However, that's not the worst of it he swore away from that life after he lost his parents, but deep within him, the calling is strong just as it was for me. He will be a Ranger and Dr K will hate it, but my biggest fear is for his baby," said RJ as Casey nodded.

"I know I sensed it too but I don't think Ziggy's told him yet," said Casey as he kissed RJ

"The life of a mother and a Ranger become the same thing when you become a parent, just as it did for me and for you they will find a way though this" said Casey as RJ nodded.

"When did you become so wise?" laughed RJ as Casey chuckled

"Too much time round Swoop," said Casey as they went to check on their own brood.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Dillon felt like he was walking to his death as he headed into the Ranger Room where Dr K and the Ranger's where waiting for him. Ziggy tightened his grip on Dillon's hand as they both entered the room, if Dillon had thought it was cold when he first entered the Ranger ranks it was now Sub Zero or below.

Dillon removed the Morpher from his pocket and attacked it his wrist where it belonged, or a least he hoped it belonged he didn't need to make a fool of himself now.

'Series Black morph bonding sequence initiated'

Came the echo of the cold mechanical voice that grated on Dillon's nerves so much, raising his arm up he began the transformation from Bio-Human as he was classified now to Ranger. He felt the heat rise though his body as the power surged though his implants making his body burn, forcing down the nausea and the pain he held himself together until his vision cleared and he felt the second skin against his own.

'Series Black online'

Dillon barely heard the words spoken as he felt his implants as they fought the Ranger transformation, his body was aching and he wanted to give up until he saw Ziggy sat in the corner waiting him.

'NO, I won't give up not this time. Now I've got someone depending on me, he needs me and I need him' growled Dillon mentally as he fought for control.

It was a hard battle that went unnoticed by all but Ziggy who Dillon knew could sense his pain somehow and gave him the strength to fight. He was unaware that the others had morphered until Flynn had put his hand on Dillon's shoulder.

"How does it feel?"

"A little tight" Dillon lied as he watched Ziggy jump up and distract the other so he could focus himself.

Dillon growled at Dr K as she yelled at Ziggy, Dillon was tempted to bring up that Ziggy was a Ranger Child and should know Spandex if he saw it. However, the look on Ziggy's face as he accepted his punishment made Dillon bite his tongue.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Ziggy sighed as he felt a long forgotten sense of familiarity, he hadn't been forced to scrub the floors since he was younger and his parents would punish him by making him scrub out the Zord Bay or the Zords.

'For fuck sake they are 20 ft mechanical Battle Machines how the hell do you get mud that high?' Ziggy remembered once asking Tommy Oliver after his Zord had come in caped in mud.

Ziggy was chuckling to himself as Summer walked past just as Dr K corrected him making Ziggy scowl.

"At least I have Dillon to work the stress out of my back after this" said Ziggy to himself loud enough for Summer to hear him, after the door banged shut Ziggy went back to work with a smile on his face.

"Your too cruel kid, we're going to get on fine" came Flynn's voice as he put a bottle of water down in front of him before leaving.

"Welcome on bored no turning back now" Ziggy chuckled as he could sense Dillon rolling his eyes at Flynn as he spoke to Dillon.

"Do you sleep with that thing?" asked Scott as a gentle music played making Ziggy cringe, Ziggy knew how much Dillon prized that watch and asking about it only got you in a heap of trouble unless you were Ziggy.

"I would if I slept," said Dillon coolly as Scott left him.

"As for room's we've got the car," said Dillon as he made the backseat up for him and Ziggy.

"Come on Zig you need some rest" said Dillon as he smiled at Ziggy.

"But…"

"No buts she can piss off, you need sleep," said Dillon as he pulled Ziggy into the backseat but sleep was for later.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

'Ziggy, Ziggy, Ziggy' his name drifted though his thoughts until he realised that it wasn't a dream, in fact it was Dillon calling him.

"What?" growled Ziggy who hated his sleep being interrupted especially after two hours of sex with Dillon.

'Dam his sex drive is going to kill me' though Ziggy as his body fought him as he woke up and rolled over to face Dillon who was fully clothed.

"Ziggy do you know a way out of the City?" asked Dillon as suddenly Ziggy was very awake.

"Why are we leaving again?" asked Ziggy as he got dressed in a panic, he was worried now he was pregnant and didn't think he could cope with being on the road again.

"They vent propane gas from station 19 at dawn but you've only got two seconds between burns…" suddenly Dillon pushed passed his younger lover and got into Scott's car.

"Dillon wait" said Ziggy as he was confused

"Dillon you can't just go what about us…..what about me?" asked Ziggy as he fought back the tears, his world was crashing down again and he couldn't stop it.

"Dillon I'm pregnant," yelled Ziggy but the sound of the engine drowned him out as Dillon drove off in front off him as if he was nothing.

Ziggy settled on the stairs barely aware that the garage was on high alert as the Rangers joined him.

"Dillon?" asked Summer as she looked down at Ziggy, at the moment Ziggy's resolve broke as the tears flooded down his cheek as he shook his head.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

'Why did he leave me? I love him and said he loved me was that a lie? What am I going to do I'm on my own again with a group of people who hate me, I've got no home, no money and I'm pregnant?'

Ziggy's mind was racing as he moved from the stairs to the Ranger Room to watch the fight, he was numb inside and out as he unconsciously wrapped his arm round his unborn child.

'I wish I'd told him now' thought Ziggy as he wallowed in his self-pity until he heard the Ranger's cries for help.

"Their in trouble what do we do?" Asked Ziggy as he pushed away the feeling he had about talking to a computer screen, he growled when she refused to help.

"Doc can you tap me into the radio transmitter?" asked Ziggy as he figured out what to do, if Ziggy knew anything it was computers and radio feed, after all, he had learnt from some of the best Rangers in history.

'Don't ever call me Doc'

"Just tell me how to do it I want Dillon to hear it" growled Ziggy he had no time for Dr K's childish behaviour, he had a lover to contact and friends to save not to mention a City to protect.

'Shit this must be how Mom and dad felt when they would fight, it's weird but right' Thought Ziggy before he got to work bring Dillon home

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Dillon was still running on pure adrenaline as he and the others made it back to base, if he had to admit it, he thought this superhero thing was ok. Suddenly Ziggy barged passed Dillon carrying a bag over his shoulder.

"Zig…"

"Don't Zig me you were going to leave me Dillon. After all, we did together after everything that has been said. How can I trust you? If you ever feel like being human you know where to find me," said Ziggy as he raced off tears in his eyes leaving Dillon and the other rangers stood into silence.
