PART TWENTY-EIGHT: The Ultimate Battle Between Light and Dark Part One
Alt uni:
Tommy was so involved with the kiss that he didnt hear the shouts right away, but when he did his heart sank. No not today. As he scanned over the room he saw Aster taking cover with Trini. They had known this was going to happen! His heart sank even further. He kept looking around. But there were so many. He looked back at Kat.
*Kat there are to many, if we both stay here we will die.* Even as he "spoke" these words tears started to form in his eyes. *Take my staff, make yourself invisible. Get Aster and get out of here. I will hold them off as long as I can.*
"I know, but as good as Jason was. He was only one man. This operation involves everyone." Andros helped her to her feet, "do you think you can walk?"
Normal uni:
Dustin stood up. "Come on lets get back to the van and get to Reefside as quickly as possible."
"Uhh Udonna, I think Madison has a point." The colors were swirling faster. Udonna came over and looked at it. "Oh my, this is odd."
Alt uni:
*Tommy no.* She sent to him in desperation. *I'm not leaving you fight alone!* She sent tears in her eyes as well. *I won't leave you.* She sent determined to be with Tommy until the end. *I love you.*
Aster peeked out. "Mama. Trini we have to go get her." But Trini was pulling her further away.
Tori nodded to the others it was time to take Tommy out there was a bright flash and then everything was still.
Karone nodded. "I think so." She said weakly it felt like losing Jason all over again. "Andros I have such a bad feeling something it going to go wrong." She cried.
Normal Uni:
Tori nodded and led the way to her van. "I hope we have enough time." She said as she opened the van and waited for Dustin to get in with her. Suddenly out of the blue the sky grew dark and you could hear thunder in the distance. Something flashed in Tori's mind and she frowned. "Something is wrong." She said as the sky got darker. "We have not had a storm like this since." She gasped. "Since we went back in time to try and get the wave to bring Tommy and Kat back!"
Madison held tight to Xander and looked him in the eyes wondering if he was thinking the same thing she was. "I think somewhere in another universe or time something has gone terribly wrong." She said quivering a bit with fear. Outside thunder was heard and the lights in the hideout flickered. "Uh-oh." Madison whispered.
Alt Uni:
Tommy summoned his staff and forced it into Kats hand. *Think of Aster she needs you.* Tommy then kissed her forehead, for the last time. *And I love you.* He looked over Kats shoulder and saw the line of blasters come up and take aim. "NO!"
Tommy grabbed Kat and pulled her around, swinging himself in the line of fire.
Dustin lead the attack shouting "Fire" and they all opened up.
Tommy held Kat still so that she would be protected by his body. Through their link she could feel him dying. Then his presence was gone and his body crumpled onto hers.
Andros wrapped one arm around her and he helped her as they walked out of the room.
"The others will deal with that. I'm just getting you out of here."
Normal uni:
"Just drive we need to get back to Reefside, so that we are with the other rangers."
"This is bad, ver very bad."
Alt Uni:
"Tommy!" Kat screamed her tears flowing freely. She fell to her knees with Tommy's lifeless body in her arms. "No!" She screamed. "They will pay." Laying Tommy's body at her feet she stood up with the staff in her hands and summoned all the power she could muster. Lighting flew from the staff and sailed at the rebels. Kendrix was hit and fell like a rock. The lighting sailed toward Dustin and Tori pushed him down out of the way. "You will all pay!" She screamed lighting flew everywhere not just hitting the rebels but the guests as well. More bodies fell but she did not care. Her Tommy was gone and it was all because of those damn rebels!
Aster pulled away from Trini. "Mama stop this!" Aster grabbed onto her mother's waist using her power to temporarily stop Kat's rampage. Trini helped Aster pulled Kat out of harms way.
Kira and Trent attacked with their full power. Now they would have a chance to rule!
Aster and Trini pulled Kat to the hidden room behind Aster's bedroom. This was something Kat had created just in case something like this happened. Once inside and the door locked. Kat slid to the ground and began to rock back forth her body shaking in sadness. Trini held Aster close. Things had just gotten out of control!
Normal Uni:
Before Dustin and Tori could reach the other rangers there was a huge clap of thunder and ran poured down too fast for Tori and Dustin to get away. "Now what?" She cried they were stuck in the mud.
The hideout shook and Madison reached out to Xander holding onto him. "Udonna what is going on?" She cried.
Alt uni:
Dustin went down, Kats lighting forcing him to demorph.
"Come on Karone." Andros urged as he almost broke out into a run with Karone.
Normal Uni:
"Well we could ninja streak to the house, but that might take to much energy out of us. Lets just stay here. I cant think of a better plan."
Xander wanted to know what was going on.
"Something very bad to even effect this area." Udonna kept looking into the crystal ball the whole time.
Tori ran to Dustin's side. "Dustin." She said as she crawled over to him. This was not suppose to happen!
Karone followed Andros but then there was a great explosion and all was still.
(Leaping 10 years down the road.)
Kat had been taken care of Aster with Trini's help for ten years. The girl had gotten quite strong and her powers had improved. Kat looked at Aster. "Aster dear I am sending you back in time to save your father." Aster had, had a tough time being brought up by her mother who was so insane now! "Fine I don't know what I can do." The 20 year old said as Kat opened a portal. "Please rescue him and save our future." With that Aster leaped into the portal and landed in normal time.
Things had gotten out of control everyone trying to take over the world everyone turned against each other. "This is not right." Tori had left Dustin guarding the hideout. Aster not really looking where she was going crashed into him. "I am so sorry." She looked up at Dustin and her beauty showed more then she wanted. "Dustin is that you?" Aster asked cautiously ready to fight in case it wasn't.
Madison and Xander had gone into hiding with Udonna the world had fallen into chaos. They knew Tommy was dead in the Alt Uni and that is what had messed up this time line!
Tommy woke up to a bit of sunlight streaming into the bedroom. He felt Kats weight on his arm. He rolled slightly and wrapped his other arm around her. "You awake Kat?"
Jason paced around inside the Astromegaship. He was waiting for Karone to show up with her report on Tommy and Kats activities.
Dustin was trying to apologize for his own stupidity in running into this girl, then he truly looked at her. She was gorgeous, beyond anything he had ever seen, at least in person. It took him awhile to realize she had used his name. "What oh yea. I'm Dustin, but I dont think Ive ever met you."
Udonna was once again trying another spell to reverse what had happened, and like the other hundred times she had tried nothing happened.
"I am truly sorry rangers, but I cant find anyway to change this back to how it was."
Xander looked up from the tome he was rereading to find something. "I know you keep saying we shouldnt but we have to go out there. We have to do something."
Kat opened her eyes and smiled. "Of course I am." She teased as wrapped her arms around Tommy and held him close. "I could ask the same thing but your already awake." She teased.
Karone came into the ship and walked right over to Jason and wrapped her arms around him. "At the moment Kat and Tommy aren't do anything awful." She told him. She again felt her heart pound when she realized she and Jason were a serious item.
Aster blushed. "I'm sorry you don't know me yet but you will." She walked closer to Dustin. "My mother Kat sent me here to prevent my father Tommy's assignation." She said not sure what else to say. "I'm Aster Kathrine by the way." She did not know what she had not used her last name then she remembered it was because her mother had lost it totally when her father was killed and that name was a scar and her mother did not want her to use it anymore.
Tori looked around ninja ops where was Dustin? He was late and with everyone trying to take over the world no one could really be trusted anymore!
Madison sighed frustrated. "Udonna, Xander is right we can't sit around and do nothing!" She said firmly. "Father Time told us not to mess the timeline up again but somehow we did." She said as she walked over to Xander.
Tommy smiled. "Who should we kill today my love? I think you should choose today."
Jason wrapped his arms around Karone as well. "Good, means there is more time for us."
Jason bent down and gave Karone a kiss. "We have a lot of years to make up for."
Dustin backed up a bit. "Whoa whoa. You"re Kat and Tommy's kid? And you're supposed to keep Tommy from dying?"
Udonna looked at the two young rangers. "Alright you may go. However be very careful my rangers. There is no telling what may happen."
"It'll go ok Udonn as long as we are together."
Kat smiled. "Hmm those pesky Mystic Rangers I think. They have been awful since they first joined the others." She said bitterly. Though she felt as if something was missing but she was not sure what it was!
Karone smiled and held Jason close. They had gotten a bit more serious since the start. Karone was still trying to fingure out how serious she and Jason would be. She returned the kiss. "Yes we do." She said happily. A bit of her felt a bit scared. She did not want anything to happen to Jason. With all the wars for Earth going on anything could be possiable even losing Jason to a battle with Tommy!
Aster rolled her eyes. "In my time the world went into chaos much like this one." She walked closer to him. "Mother went crazy." She proceeded to tell Dustin bout what happened in her time and not meaning to she brushed his hand as she walked past him. "I need to find my parents and figure out how to stop you all from killing him." She said hiding the blush that had risen on her cheeks when she walked past Dustin! Part of her warned her to keep away. Dustin and Tori were together and happy. Who was she to ruin that?
Madison nodded. What Xander had just said could mean two things. That they all did better as a team or if he meant her and him.
