AN: And after another short break; KRT is back! Again, Kamen Rider is not mine. Power Rangers is not mine. My little Pony is not mine. All of this should really be obvious for those who do a little background digging. Enjoy!

Chapter 6: Irony

"We are being attacked and the Power Rangers are losing."

He felt a surge of adrenaline power through his body in preparation to move out on his own. There was no way in Hell that anyone was stopping him from going to San Angeles and helping out. The Ranger in him screamed to act while the Rider was also urging him to move. Hands trembling, he pressed the Talk button again and spoke with an audibly cracking voice.

"This is Weihan Liang from Australasia Worldwide. What is your current status?"

He could swear he heard the man on the other side make the connection between his name and his former Ranger status. As an explosion boomed out from the speakers, Weihan reached out behind him with his right hand. Instantly, his Turbine flew across the room into his awaiting hand amidst the gasps of those watching. He smiled inwardly as he realized the Turbine had finally been imprinted with his DNA sequence; something that had been started when Zordon had come to see him. Now, there was no one else that could use the System but him.

"Weihan…yeah, I heard about you from Adam and Kira. Our present situation is bad. We've been knocked out of morph too many times and Tyzonne is slowly reverting back to his mercury state. The monster is…uh…some sort of mirrored horse with strange guys around it. We've been getting reinforcements from Silver Hills but it doesn't look good."

Weihan swore loudly, diverting everyone's attention to him. For the Overdrive Rangers to be losing against a monster was one thing but a mirrored horse? It had to mean a new Wraith that had broken free and Gaby would be thanking him for alerting her to the new threat. Somehow, he didn't think she would be…but it was always nice to dream. Suddenly, the name of the city triggered a memory in his brain and he shot up out of his position. San Angeles…from what her little sister had told him that was where she was now. Voice trembling, he spoke to the Ranger on the other end.

"Mack, can you…I mean; there's someone who is in San Angeles that…shit. Can you tell me if there is a Jacqui Apple among the…casualties?"

He heard some slight shuffling in the background followed by the Ranger's muffled yells to someone behind him. From talks with Bree, he knew that she had left journalism soon after her arrival in the US and had moved in with the family friend who was recently divorced. Apparently nothing had come out of it as the divorcee hadn't wanted to pursue another relationship ever again…or something like that. But if AJ was in San Angeles…he forcefully suppressed the thoughts that welled up from below. He would deal with his feelings later if worst came to the worst.

"AJ? No, she's fine. She's the Ranger's official publicist and she's helping my father talk to the Silver Guardians. I thought she would have told you?"

Weihan shook his head and forced himself to stay calm. Silver Guardians meant Wes or Eric would be there. He asked Mack for directions to their base and said that he would be there as soon as possible. Before he could turn off the communications, Gaby put her foot down and shouted that he wouldn't be going anywhere as Sydney was still under attack from the Wraiths. Fed up with her bullshit, the Rider growled audibly and turned back to his boss. He didn't care that he was talking back to a superior or that he was going off half-cocked. He didn't care about anything anymore…except her. It seemed he would be coming to get her after all…

"You listen and you listen to me good. I am leaving for San Angeles right now on my own. You can either come with or not but I don't give a flying fuck what you want me to do right now. There is a Wraith there and the Rangers can't defeat it on their own. The Rider System was created to help and protect people but in denying me the chance to leave, you're turning your back on the people."

"No! Even with the fastest plane in the world, you'd be getting there thirteen hours after their destruction! How are you going to fly there in a short amount of time?"

"With my help."

Heads turned at the unfamiliar voice and Weihan smiled in relief as he saw the morphed form of the Yellow Dino Thunder Ranger standing in the doorway. Running an eye over the armoured spandex, he raised an eyebrow at the damage he could see. Black scorch marks covered the chest insignia and her Morpher was sparking slightly. Nodding at Kira, he turned to face Gaby and squared his shoulders.

"I'm going to San Angeles now and you cannot stop me."

Gaby growled under her breath and stalked over to the Main Power Transformer. She knew if she turned off the Power to the Turbine, it would stop working and Weihan would be forced to abandon his foolish crusade. There was no chance of a Wraith appearing overseas anyway as her benefactor had informed her of the undeniable truth: Wraiths would only appear in mirrors in and around Sydney as Bloodless Mary's reach could only extend so far…or something along those lines. Before she could extend an arm to take hold of the Main Switch, the strange wrist device on the Ranger squawked to life and issued a voice that she never thought she would have heard from again.

"Ki…uh, Yellow Ranger; have you secured him yet? We'll need his assistance! Whatever these things are, they're almost at our last fall back point!"

Weihan's eyes widened and he sucked in a sharp breath. He recalled Wes telling him that Danny and Max had been recruited into the Silver Guardians with a few other former Rangers; but to hear his voice in such close proximity of Gaby was…interesting to say the least. Looking over at his boss, he saw the colour drain from her face and he squared his shoulders.

"I'm going. Now."
