Chapter 10

Waves of Lightning

Eric Myers had to rent a large van in order to fit everyone comfortably. To his right, riding shotgun, is the love of his life Taylor Earheart. In the first row it was Cole Evans and his girlfriend Jamie Carson with their two year old child Bridge sitting in the middle in a car seat. To Cole's right was Wes Collins. He was just looking outside of the window deep in thought. Being Wesley's best friend and partner going on for five years he knew everyone was to let him be. In the next row it was Alyssa Drew and her husband Anthony sitting alongside of Danny Delgado and his wife Jessica. In the final row was Max Cooper and his girlfriend Angela Landors.

He couldn't help but think that the first five Wild Force rangers are either going out or married to the people that were involved in that experiment five years ago. Each couple either had or is about to have a child together. He was about to reminisce on that fateful day when he heard Bridge crying which caught everyone's attention.

"Cole, what's wrong?"

"Your guess is as good as mine, Taylor."

"Come her, sweetie." said Bridge's mother as she unsnapped him and began holding him. "Come on, Bridge, tell mommy what's wrong."

"Something hit me." the young toddler said between wails.

"Nobody hit you, little guy." said Danny

"No something hit me." cried the future green/blue ranger.

"It hit me again. Mommy, Daddy, I'm scared." Bridge yelled crying worse then before. Cole indicated to his beloved to pass the crying boy over which she willing did.

"Now, Bridge, your my little lion cub right?" said Cole hoping that this would calmed done. Luckily he stopped the ear piercing screams but not the tears.

"Uh huh."

"Do you know what lions do when something scares them?"

"Uh huh."

"What do they do?"

"Roar." said the Blazing Lion's child tentively.

"Come on you can do better then that."

"ROAR!" the two year old said the child with a little bit more confident.

"Is that all you got, Bridge?"

"RRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!" growled the child with all of the confidence in the world as his tears stopped following.

"That's my boy." said the proud father hugging his precious gift. "Do you want to go back into your car seat?" Bridge nodded his head as he climbed back into his car seat trying to buckle himself in before asking his mom for help.

"Jamie, could this have anything to do with his special abilities." asked Anthony.

"It's possible but he's powers mostly deals with his hands." Jamie said looking at the gloved hands of her son.

"Let's hope it doesn't happen again." said Cole

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michael and Trini were making their way back to Hayley's Cyber Cafe. They were talking about the knowledge Michael posses of ranger past, present, and future. She agreed with Michael's decision on keeping the Mystic Force Rangers of Briarwood out of this fight unless they absolutely need them. She did have a hard time swallowing two male yellow rangers, but, when she heard that there was two female white rangers and a future female red, ecstatic wasn't the word that could describe her feelings. Michael didn't have the heart to tell her that the female red's entire team, her included were truly evil.

Trini looked at the man. She really did like him. It might be him or it could be the situation, but, she knows she needs to be around him more. If only he ever take off that black leather jacket.

"It's almost June and you're wearing that jacket."

"Hey it's my favorite jacket." Michael said in a wounded tone.

"I don't care if it's your only jacket. It's black, it's leather, and you must be hot wearing it."

"Well I'm comfortable." Trini rolled her eyes knowing she must go with the direct approach and she had to do it now because they were just steps away from the front door.

"Just take that thing off. You're making me hot." Michael smiled as he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulled her in and moved his body so they were standing face to face.

"I'm sure I can find a few ways to cool you down." the psychic said in an obvious flirty tone. A wave of embarrassment mixed with excitement crashed over her like a wave over a surfer. She wasn't use to anybody shamelessly flirt with her.

"Wait a minute he's flirting with me!" Upon this realization she smacked Michael hard across the face.

"Your sister just died yesterday and the only thing you can think about is hitting on me." Trini said in anger. The first yellow ranger was about to continue when she saw the look on his face. It was a combination of pain, disbelief, and heartbreak. She knew right then and there, what she did was wrong.

"I'm sorry, Trini, please forgive me." Michael said fighting back the tears threating to spill out. Michael didn't forget his sister, far from it. Earlier that morning after his shower he cried out of grief for Emily. Tommy had checked on him twice because he heard the sobs. Emily was the first thing on his mind and she will always be until the day he makes Lothar pay for her murder. But the words Trini spoke was like a knife to the chest, and it's wielder was twisting and pulling it down maximizing the pain.

"No, Michael, I'm..."

"Let it go, Trini. Let it go." Michael said as he turned around and head back inside solemnly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rocky, Adam, and Tanya were the first to notice Michael's entrance. Everybody else was dancing while they were talking amongst themselves at the table. Conner and Ethan was showing off. Zack had asked Aisha to the dance floor. Same goes for Billy with Kat, Jason and Hayley, and Trent busting moves with Kira. Michael held his head down not wanting to look at anybody. Tanya went up to him and was about to ask a question when he raised his hand to her telling her not to take another step.

"I don't want to talk about it." He said as he continued his slow trudge to the bar when.

"Michael, you might want to take a look at this." said Kim. So he changed directions and placed each hand on Tommy and Kim's foreheads.

Trini had just came in while Michael did this and was quickly surrounded by three people that came after her. She was upset to begin with and now she had to face the preverbal firing squad.

"Trini, what happen?" asked Tanya. The song had finished and they quickly gathered to see what was a matter with Trini.

"I screwed up."

"I find that conclusion highly improbable considering the record you have had with your acquaintances." Everyone except Trini and Ethan had a slight glazed look on their face. Billy became slightly embarrassed that he spoke the way only he and few other can speak.

"I mean I doubt Trini 'screwed up.'" Trini was about to rebuttal this when Tommy and Kim stood up and Michael screamed in pain both psionicly and vocally as he flew into the ground.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yeah, Kim, what's up?"

"What the hellis that?" She said pointing to a wave like object heading in their direction.

"I have no clue."

"You've done this before you should know what that is."

"Sorry, Tommy, but I've never seen anything like this." Michael said noticing it was coming closer.

"Quick, back into your bodies." Michael ordered. The first was Kim, Dr. Oliver was next to go. The interdimensional traveler was almost into his body when the wave hit. Michael wasn't sure if his howl of pain came from his mind, his body or both. He just knew he took a major hit mentally. Michael was beginning to recover some when the second wave hit. Michael was border lining consciousness when he began to regain his senses. But that wasn't the only thing he received. He was receiving everybody's thoughts of concern along with everything else. The only reason he was able to handle last nights mental exhaustion because he didn't pick up on some many thoughts. Now it was about fifteen or sixteen people in the cafe and who knows how many more people were outside.

"Stop thinking!" Michael yelled. Everyone within earshot did so except one.

"Kira, Conner had a sexual thought where..."

"Dude, stop, please!" Conner yelled scared as everyone glared at him. Ethan quickly whispered in Trent's ear that he has a good idea what it was.

"It wasn't that, Ethan. I wished it was that." Michael stated and it was now Ethan's turn to be glared upon.

"Michael, what happened?"

"I don't know, Jason. My best guess is that I was hit with a psionic wave." Everyone shared the same thought which caused the young man to wince.

"Tommy, where's my medallion?" Michael said as he got up off the floor.

"Um... Let me think here for a second... You gave it to Hayley... we brought it back to the lab and analyzed it... we found two energy signatures matched the power chamber readings..."

"What?"

"Michael," Said Hayley as she went to slowly help him up, "you said you had the medallion since the day Emily found you right."

"Yes."

"Well, we have a small amount of proof that you're actually from our dimension and not yours." This sent Michael's processors on overload, and it didn't help that ten people were thinking the same thing.

"Remind me to freak out later. Because I had a dream yesterday where Emily said she meet my biological parents and it's starting to make some sense."

"What do you mean?" asked Zack

"He means that he had a dream where his dead sister said she got to see Michael's birth parents." said Trini through gritted teeth causing him to be on guard for 'Attack of the Yellow Ranger.'

"As you were saying, Tommy."

"Power Chamber readings... left to call the guys..."

"Failure to call me." said Kim a remembrance tone of voice. This resulted in a small glare via Black Christmas that was returned by a innocent smile.

"Got Hayley not to call you... wait. Hayley was the last person out of the lab. Hayley did you get it?"

"No. I left it figuring you would want to analyze it more."

"Looks like it's back at my place."

"Ok, Tommy, I'm ridding shotgun. I'll to meditate on the way there."

"Michael, don't you think it's dangerous for you to..."

"Hayley, I can slip into a trance without separating."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Michael took the front passenger seat he went into his trance. As usual Dr. Oliver was driving but what was interesting was the three girls in the back seat. Trini, Tanya, and Kim who were sitting in that exact order. Trini kept shoot regretful glances towards Michael. Trying to formulate someway to get him alone and apologize for what she said and did. One of the glances Tanya caught out of the corner of her eye.

"Ok, Trini, what is this big thing you screwed up with and does it have to do with Michael?"

"What?"

"You know exactly what, Trini Kwan, so talk!" Tommy was watching Tanya from the rearview mirror instantly wishing that that everyone on both of his teams didn't find it necessary for there to be two yellows in his back seat. One was bad enough but two. But it could have been worse. He could have all yellows riding with him.

"Yeah, Trini, you haven't said two words since Michael returned me and Tommy to our bodies." Kim pointed out.

"If you really must know the screw up has everything to do with Michael." said Trini highly agitated.

"Well, what happened?" asked Tommy. He had to know this. The first green ranger won't admit it, but, he does care about Michael. Hell he got Kim and him to talk to each other after all these years. It wasn't much, but, it was a step in the right direction. Trini noticing she had no way out took a deep breath and told them what happened less then fifteen minutes ago.

"Trini, he is grieving for his sister when he finds the chance. Fuck, I was barely able get him out of the bathroom because he was crying over her. It's just that he doesn't want me or anybody else for that matter worried."

"I know, Tommy, I just think he's just trying to hard or... or..."

"Your not use to the attention coming from the type of guy he is."

"Oh shut up, Kim."

"She's could be right you know. Michael never meet Kim in person and he in a sense personally went after her and kept her company on that flight for a few hours before our pink ranger wanted her beauty sleep." Tanya added in Kim's claim.

"Plus, the way he defended Kim against Nick, stood up to me, and going after and calming down Kat." Tommy threw in.

"Guys, stop ganging up on me. I know Michael is a great guy. I just for some reason saw myself ending up with someone like Bulk."

"I can't believe you said that Trini. The last thing you want is someone like Bulk." said Kim in shock.

"Kim, I don't want someone like Bulk. I just figured I would be force to settle down with someone like Bulk."

"Yeah and I figure I will be forced to settle down with someone like Rita or Elsa." Tommy joked.

"That wasn't very funny the future first male pink ranger." jabbed Tanya knowing all of Tommy's record of ranger firsts.

"Well he does have a tendency to attract the bad girls, Tanya, just look what happened when we first meet Kat and what Trent told us about Elsa."

"You weren't a bad girl, Kim."

"What makes you so sure I'm not a bad girl?" said Kim in a low sultry voice. Tommy turned crimson red while the two yellows busted out laughing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michael was in a dark room with one light shining through. The light came from a forty-five degree angle and rested on himplus a semi-large area.

"Long time." said a chipper voice.

"Hi, Chips." Michael said as he turned around meeting him eye to eye. If another person was with Michael they could have sworn they were twins. But Michael knew the truth. This was the deepest recesses of his mind. In this place every peace of his personality and his emotions take on a physical form. The form was him except for one or two variants. Chips was dressed the same way except his shirt was white. A long time ago he decided to give eachone a name so he when he visited this place he wouldn't have to say 'hey you' and Chips was the embodiment of his joking along with lightheartedness side.

"What the hell are you doing here?" said an angry voice also stepping into the light. It was Michael competive and fighting nature.

"I'm not looking for a fight, Angus." Michael said to his anger that wore a red shirt branding a scar on his left cheek.

"Yeah, Angus," said a shy voice, "Michael never came here looking for a fight." This form was wearing a black shirt and was on the outer edge of the circle the light casts. It was the embodiment of how Michael was when he was younger before the self training and self-doubt.

"Thank you, Shilo."

"He hasn't came to see us in over 12 years." argued Angus.

"I was overdue for a visit."

"That and the psionic waves have caused you some concern in which separating could be extremely dangerous." said the man in a white leather jacket and blue t-shirt. Michael's intellegence and serious side was the one stepping out into the light.

"Really, I thought it was because Trini rejected him." said a disappointed voice coming from a man wearing a red leather jacket a red t-shirt. Michael's passionate side, the part of him where he tries to help he cares for and who was his heart stepped foward.

"Albert, Romeo, knock it off will ya. I came here to hang out, recover, and maybe some help with my plan."

"Does the plan have to with Trini?" said Romeo in a hopeful voice.

"You are a fucking idiot, Romeo." snapped Angus

"Angus, relax and, Romeo, it has to do with bringing SPD and the Dino Gems to the this time."

"I thought the Dino Gems already existed in this time." said Shilo quietly.

"Your right, S., but he is talking about the recharged Dino Gems, and I have to say, Michael, this plan of yours does seem flawless."

"Actually the plan does have a flaw, Chips." Michael turned toAlbert with a questioning look on his face.

"What flaw?"

"Bridge. Remember, Michael, he was born the same year the Dino Thunder team was fighting."

"Maybe, Trini, with Billy's help of course could build a device that could switch the current Bridge with the future Bridge."

"I have to admit Loverboy has actually said something useful."

"Angus, stuff it." Michael snapped remembering why he hasn't came back in over a decade. That guy always got on his nerves.

"Don't worry, Michael, he does the same to us as well." said Chips "You better go back and talk to, Trini."

"Ok guys, I'll be back." Michael said fading away.

"Yeah right." stated Angus as him and the others stepped out of the circle.

A/N: Sorry for taking so long on getting this chapter out, but, what I had originally written didn't feel right. It felt sort of forced in. So I 86'ed it and typed this chapter up in its place. I was trying to find the perfect way to introduce the psionic waves and I have to say for what I have planned this is perfect. Also I picked upthe idea of Michael talking to the different aspects of his personalty from that one episode of Teen Titans where Cyborg and Beast Boy go into Raven's mind. Anyway give me some reviews and if you find a mistake let me know and I'll fix it a.s.a.p.
