War

Chapter 14

Cole was the first person Jason had sought out during the meeting of the Power Rangers. He knew he wasn't going to keep his composure. All he wanted to do was make Cole feel like crap for the fact he didn't destroy General Venjix. Unknown to him, he was being followed by Tommy, who knew Jason was going to flip if he saw Cole, and by Mike, who was trying to find where Emily had gone, determined to find out who she was making a love sick face at.

Jason finally found Cole talking to Wes, the Red Time Force Ranger. "Cole, can I talk to you outside for a moment please?" Jason asked Cole.

Cole looked up and smiled. "Sure thing Jason." he said. The two then proceeded to go outside.

Tommy sighed once he had seen the two Red Rangers go outside. "Oh man. This isn't going to end well." he thought to himself. He broke out of his thought when Mike ran into him.

"Whoa, sorry dude." Mike said to Tommy.

"No problem. Hey listen, I need you to help me with something. My friend and another Red Ranger just went outside. You met my friend, Jason, the Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. He isn't in the right mind set, and I'm afraid he will hurt the other Red Ranger, Cole. I need you to go with me to help him try and calm down." Tommy said to Mike.

"Sure thing. I'm Mike. Green Samurai Ranger." Mike said extending his hand.

"Tommy Olvier. Original Green Ranger, White Ranger, Red Zeo Ranger, first Red Turbo Ranger, and Black Dino Thunder Ranger." Tommy said, shaking Mike's hand.

"Dude! You're a legend! Awesome to meet you!" Mike exclaimed.

"Yeah, something like that. Now lets get a move on." Tommy said urgently, and the two ran outside after Jason and Cole.

Elsewhere, Z had gone looking for Danny. She knew it was against protocol, but she had to let him know that he had the chance to fight along side his daughter. She eventually found him sitting outside, a sad expression on his face. "Hey Danny." she said sitting next to him.

He looked up and smiled. "hey, you alright? You took a hell of a spill." he asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. So can I ask why you look so sad?" she asked him, knowing this would be the time.

Jason and Cole wandered out into the yard line a bit, away from the small area the Rangers were located at.

"So what is it you wanted to talk about Jason?" Cole asked innocently.

Jason sighed, and turned around. "You really screwed up on the Moon during our Red Ranger team. Do you know that?" Jason asked Cole calmly.

Cole bowed his head. "I know I did. I was so sure that I destroyed General Venjix. We even searched the Moon afterwards. But we didn't see him." he said sadly.

Jason walked over to him slowly. "Yeah. Well apparently, he brought back Rita and Zedd, who killed Trini, the girl I loved." he said.

Cole looked up startled. "Jason, I'm so sorry!" he said.

"Yeah? Not as sorry as you're about to be. I am going to kick your jungle loving ass!" Jason yelled as he ran at Cole. He punched Cole in the face, sending him to the ground.

Jason was then also punched in the face. Once he hit the ground, he looked up to see Mike standing over him.

"What the hell is your problem? He is a Red Ranger!" Mike yelled. "He tried to carry out a mission. He thought he did right! You're making a mistake!"

"Not as big of a mistake as you made. Never hit a Black Belt if you can't finish the fight." Jason said. He got up and went to kick at Mike, only to be stopped by Tommy.

"Jase, no more bro. What was done was done. Cole couldn't help that General Venjix survived, none of us could. We all are sorry, and sad that Trini had to be the first one of us killed. Fighting Cole isn't going to bring her back. Destroying all these villains will at least make it so her death wasn't in vain." Tommy said calmly to his best friend.

Jason began to form tears in his eyes. He knew Tommy was right. He got up and hugged Tommy. "I miss her so much." he said, breaking down into tears. He then dropped to the ground and cried, while Tommy knelt beside him.

"We all do bro. We all do." Tommy assured him.

Mike then walked over to Cole and helped him up. "You OK dude?" Mike asked him.

"Yeah, I'm alright. I probably deserved that." Cole said miserably.

Jason looked up at Cole. "No you didn't man. I was out of line. I'm sorry." he told Cole.

"Don't worry about it. It's all good." Cole said. He then proceeded back into the house.

Mike stood there for a minute, thinking to himself in shock. He had ultimately punched the original Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger in the face. "Oh man am I screwed." he thought to himself. He quickly snapped out of his thoughts when he saw Emily walking by. Deciding not to worry about Jason, he tore after Emily to see if she was going to find that Ranger.

"So that's it. My daughter Elizabeth just was born, and before I can spend time with her , I'm called back to action." Danny told Z miserably.

Z listened to this, and tears silently poured down her cheeks. She knew her father had died after she was born, and she knew from the stories her mother told her, he regretted not being with her.

Danny looked up at her. "Hey Z, are you alright?" he asked.

"Danny, there is something you need to know. You're daughter understands that you can't be with her. She knows that you were there when she was born. She also has this picture of you." Z said, wiping tears. She then pulled out a picture of her as a baby, with Danny holding her.

Danny looked at the picture in shock, and then looked at Z. "How did you get this?" he asked.

"Danny, or Daddy, as I should be calling you. I'm your daughter; Elizabeth Angela Delgado." Z finally said, sobbing.

Danny then started crying, hugging Z. "Oh my God. You've grown up to be so beautiful. I'm sorry I never got to see you grow up. I'm so sorry." he said to Z.

"I understand. It's not your fault. The radiation from the morpher you made ultimately killed you. You were just trying to do good" Z replied.

"I never wanted for you to have the life of a Power Ranger I did. I can see it's a family based thing." he joked. The two laughed and wiped away tears. Danny managed to regain his composure. "Elizabeth. I never got to say this to the point where you could listen. But you are the greatest thing that has happened in mine, and your mothers life." he said.

"I love you Daddy." Z said, hugging Danny again.

"I love you to Elizabeth." Danny replied, hugging his daughter.

Jack watched from afar, smiling, glad to know that his best friend finally got her one wish; to meet, and talk to her father.

Mike followed Emily to a clearing where she met up with a boy about her age. He hid behind a tree and poked his head out. Luckily, he could hear their conversation. Mike also noticed that the boy was wearing blue.

"Hey I'm Emily." Emily introduced herself.

"Hi I'm." was all Mike could hear. He had managed to miss the boys name, but was in shock to see that the boys blue jeep like vehicle had begun making noise by itself, and moving back and forth.

"Oh and this is my friend Storm Blaster" the boy said to Emily.

DUN DUN DUN, well Mike found out who Emily likes. It was a toss up between him, Mack, or Billy. Danny and Z finally got to talk as father and daughter for the first time, and Jason finally got over his revenge on Cole (after punching him).

Next time on War: Zordon briefs the Rangers on their mission, and one of the first attacks come. Can the Rangers ultimately unite? Will Mike get his ass kicked by Jason? Will Emily and Justin try anything?
