Warnings: With this chapter it's just going to be the single song now and they're going to the lodge the following morning to go skiing. But the mission is going to just get a brief shot, as the nine switch positions in team dynamics for a bit, before we hit October and Jason Returns after that.
Chapter 22: Love Declarations And No Business Like Snow Business Part III
"In fact, once I get these forms signed by both my parents and godparents as well as my coach. The regime begins now and starting Monday after practice now, I'm coming home every day to visit for several hours. I'm back to being around our friends, seeing our teachers and principal, I'm back to being in my original color. And Tommy is as well and we're always together, rebuilding our relationship now at the moment now."
" But I'm always here after practice, from 5 to midnight, my curfew when I leave my coach and my training is midnight. I'm always with Tommy and the quintet after school, I'm seeing your parents and at times I'm reactivated helping where I can. By swapping places with Kat, but there it is, I'm with my brother. I'm segregated from the guys my age over there, as my coach wanted me focused on my training and with that now."
"Dad had an affair with a woman named Maria Grayson, and her son is 19 years old, and he also dresses in red and is a gymnast. But I'm not an only child, I have a half brother, and he's who I'm with right now in Miami, so with that. No fraternizing with the boys team or boys in general, I'm in class from 8 to 3. And in training from 3 to 5 and from 5 to midnight I'm here, either visiting with our friends or your adult versions."
"I'm back in uniform, fighting our enemies, or I'm just with my mate, Tommy now, so tell me, how could I have the time, now to be with anybody else. When I'm always with Tommy and the quintet after school. I'm back to being with Tommy again, every day which was the point of our duet. But there's more to living when we have each other and with it I have the strength to fight back now, regarding this and here it is?"
"When my powers were weakened I was feeling what he was at the time, regarding his powers. And now I have the strength to fight back against the ones who weakened me, because I have him with me. So again tell me, how could I have the time to be dating anyone else when I'm always with Tommy and your parents. Here and at home, as is Jason and we're always together as a quartet?" she asked and he swallowed at that.
"I spent nine months beyond lonely, and though I had the sextet with me in spirit, I wanted them with me for real. And decided I had enough of trying to stay away from him, and came and we decided to protect our relationship set things on hold and rebuild. We did that, and now with my coming to see him every day, we're back to the way things were now and with that the boys, the trio and Jason get to see us in our happiness."
"To them it doesn't matter we set things on hold, so long as he and I happy that's all they care about now. The fact being that they didn't lose me either, Rocky broke the spell by reading the letter first after I got here, he's free and like the girls and Jason. Adam and Billy, though around the conduit all the time, it doesn't matter to them, when I'm here they're themselves again and they just want us to be happy now at the moment."
"To Jason and Aisha, they're not taking sides and were the first told because of single thing, we're adoptive relatives to each other. To them it's the same as the boys, so long as we're happy that's all they care about. But the point is, had we not taken that step back, this letter would be a real one and the results are. Now, are exactly what you're pulling right now, till he has a relapse and I get captured by our enemies now."
"But no, we decided till I was back home where I belong we set things on hold and rebuild till I'm home with him and them again. But 7 hours here at home during a week day, that's 35 hours every day just spent here with them. But 73 hours a week here at home, with Tommy, and them. With our parents, and friends and life goes back to the way it used to be now, so with that in mind right now at the moment here."
"So think it over 95 hours in bed, classes and training, but my free time is 73 hours now, so think it over. How could I have any time to be seeing anyone else when those 73 hours are here at home where I belong now with the gang, both sides of it. I'm doing our job as being a power ranger, and I'm always with Tommy in those 73 hours. So how could have any time to be dating anyone else right now in those free time hours."
"When I told you those 5 factors and counted up the hours for you at the moment, if your head was on straight right now. But I'm with Tommy, always with Tommy for those 73 hours a day, in three factors, but one as a power ranger, two us with our friends and visiting with our teachers, Ernie and Lieutenant Stone. Or just with your parents being a normal teenager in love and us back to the way it used to be." she said to him again.
"Yes, 95 hours resting from a busy day of school and training, and sometimes being back in the field again. But 73 always with me and the seven, either with our friends in the gang, your cousin Zack. Visiting with our parents as we just hang out for family get together and other activities, or when we have to get called in. She's on duty being the pink Zeo as she swaps off with Kat now on a regular basis finally as well now."
"But she's in classes from 8 to 2, training 2 to 4:45 and from 5 to midnight she's here with me. Coach has her segregated from the boys team and she's forbidden to fraternize with them or boys in general because he wants her to focus on her gymnastics. She's got her brother and Aisha's cousin with her as well, so adding all of this together now at the moment here, how could be having the time to be dating anyone else right now."
"When, after school and practice, she's with us, as is Jason, she's with me every day after practice and we're re-establishing our relationship now. But everyday of our lives, before she comes home for good, we're fixing what went wrong. And we're back to being ourselves again, and I have my mate back. So again, how could she be dating anyone else when she's always with me now?" Tommy asked again as he pulled her against him.
Looking at Tommy she pressed her forehead to his as their colors intertwined. "Everyday, of our lives..." he said and she smiled. "I want to find you there, want to hold on tight." she said smiling, as the adult seven watched them, they knew she had eyes for no one but their young team leader and the teenage seven hid a smile. "Yeah and again how could she, she's always with us?" Rocky said as he, Billy and Adam crossed their arms.
"Care to explain how she could be dating anyone else when 73 hours a week she's always with us at the moment, either by swapping places with me. Us with our friends in the gang, being around Ernie and Lieutenant Stone, her seeing Mrs. Applebee and Mr. Caplan or just her seeing our parents and she's always with us. How could she have the time to be dating anyone else when you have these five factors involved now."
"And when that letter has several added messages involved in it, but 'met someone else': there is no one else. 'See you as a friend', they were friends long before they became a couple, 'brother' get Jason and bring him home. Only he could take care him if he has a relapse when she's not here, but classes from 8 to 2, training from 3 to 5. And from five to midnight she's with us, so again right now you two, explain it."
"Just how could she have the time to be dating anyone else with all these factors to figure in. And when she's with her half brother and Patrick, Aisha's cousin during practice, around her friends in school and then always around us after both?" Kat added as she, Aisha and Tanya crossed their arms as the quartet did the same as they all looked at the duo as Kim was standing between the eight firmly as she looked at them.
Looking at the duo, their adult versions saw the look of panic in their eyes at the rationality in their questions. And knowing they were trying to find a good excuse for taking sides in it as Tommy nodded as he finished her remark then. "That's the psychosis right there, you can't answer that question, because your mind is hung up on Angela right now you two and with that in mind right now at the moment here it is, dad."
"And with that in mind right now, dad, with us being teenagers, minors, I think you know what I'm going to say next. But these two need to brought back from Geneva, now, because the longer they're out there. Then the worse this is going to get, we're still under age, you have the right to make decisions still for us." he said and they nodded as they got it, as the duo exchanged looks at that remark as he repeated his remark.
"Before you say it Zack, did we, or did we not say to but out of our business, because what we do in our relationship is no business of yours. We told the quintet and our best friends first, because of a single solitary matter, the quintet are with him, and Jason and Aisha are our best friends and my adoptive relatives. And the same is said for Jamie, so again why did you take sides when we said to stay out of it?" she asked him firmly then.
"To repeat my question have you lost your damn mind right now, we can't tell anyone the truth." Zack asked and she crossed her arms. "Well sorry to have to tell you this, but Zordon had this conversation with you already, but to repeat it. But this not any normal war, and all's fair in love and war. But this is no normal war, because right now there is no war, just a whole lot of cheating by the bad guys, so to even the playing field."
"We have to bend the rules in certain areas and he thinks we're ready to make the decisions and gave his authorizarion to tell our families that truth. But when we gained these powers, we went into officers training now, but here it is. Cherry red and white with gold mixed into it is the symbol of the colonel, hot pink near violet colored and fire engine red is the symbol of the beta, yellow and blue is the symbol of the major."
"And it goes down the list from there Zack, you blew your chance to be an enlisted officer, you're a non com, we're in charge. When you left you blew your chances at becoming a Ninjeti, but Ninjetti directly translated, in military wording, is officer training, we're enlisted officers, you guys are non coms now. And Jason took up his legacy and is now in officers training, along with Kat and Tanya, so got a problem with that."
"Then you better get over it, it's too late, the judgements been rendered now." she said and they looked at her in shock at the news. "Hey Colonel come on brother." she said and Jason stepped forward at that as she leaned into his chest and they paled. "So if the boys are colonels, then what position does the black or green ranger have?" Dillon asked and Billy answered that question as he stood up and moved to the duo then.
"We got only one beta on the team, but the beta in military ranking is really the L.C., that's her position in ranks, I am a major along with the girls: Kat and Aisha. And Adam and Tanya a captain, bordering on major now, the duo are not even passed it. In their old ranks: Ninjetti is Officers training, so Lance Corporeal and Gunnery Sergeant." he said and Peter nodded and said it sternly as he looked at Mei at that remark and news.
"So Army ranger department, and once you took on these powers it's enlisted officers training?" he asked slowly and they nodded. "That's it exactly and did you forget something else right you two, who was it that this started with exactly. I mean think it over just five colors: red, blue, black, yellow and pink. Just five colors from January up to October, and in October we gained our sixth and final member of the team at the time."
"Ten months fighting battle with these colors always the victor until she decided to create a sixth ranger, and then said six ranger and I had a connection from the day we truly met. Said six ranger and I were developing our bonds, but he would do anything, be anything for me and the Bryan Adams song was the cliche, but he risked his life for me more than once, even before he lost his powers the first time and then again later on."
"But after said six ranger loses his powers twice its back to five again and with that in mind. What's the problem, living in the past right now, we've only got eighteen months left, before we retire completely, and even then though we are, it's not done. And we're sixteen years old, do you know what that says to Zordon right now at the moment?" she asked and he shook his head and she explained that to him firmly as she looked at him.
"It says he thinks we're old enough to decide how to make the rules and we kept the three rules as they are, but we added two more. Actually we can tell them, just in civilian and Ranger POV's Zack, we changed the rules. And Zordon decided to let the guys and me make the decisions, now. But we're not fighting this war, if we can't play it our way, and your parents, the nine of you, they busted us, so we can act like ourselves now."
"Your parents busted us, they know who we, the nine of us, are now, as do the guys younger brothers. My coach, Ernie and the lieutenant, and if Mrs. Applebee and Mr. Caplan also figure it out, then that's everyone who needs to know. But we're about to bring this to the attention of the town government, after we all return from where we left for. And let them and the bases in range of downtown know who are latest enemy is."
"But the leaders of this team are me, Tommy and Jason, and did you forget who your original alpha really was when we were a quintet. At first we've been a quintet for twelve years and said quintet turns into a team. But who was the leader of the five us when we got started here at the time, who exactly, you two?" she asked as Jason removed his medallion from his neck and held it up as they saw his emblem and swallowed hard.
"Jason was the original alpha of this team, Jason as the original alpha, he decided to be there for his omega, and that's me, and the alpha's third decided on the same, but Billy met us first, before he met you two. We've been a trio since we were two, you came into the picture when we were four, so with that. So do you know what this would result in had Jason not been around for it now, and you any idea what he would do here."
"If we had some new guy join the team and he was still leader of the team, the exact results here if he was debating about joining the fight if he was the green ranger?" she asked and Zack shook his head as Jason crossed his arms at that. "The attitude you're showing me now would result in him letting you have it, in public. And he'd send you back to the command center and we'd still get the job done, but afterwards here."
"And he'd terminate your position on the team, and throw you out of the team and place someone else as secondary beta now as he is beta now. When we were in the thunderzord upgrade at the time back then. But as it happens he doesn't have to do that, because the nine of us are building the bonds needed to fix these things. And he and the quintet are beginning to fit together like a puzzle now at the moment."
"But though the six of us are inactive, the new quartet created now is he's back to being my red ranger, Billy my blue, Aisha is my yellow. And if you had your head on straight now, you'd be back to being my black again. Or in this case the five of us are back together as the original quintet again and do you remember what you guys and I wanted when we went from five to six exactly?" she asked and they swallowed at that remark.
As she shifted position and leaned against Jason and he wrapped both arms around her and left his chin on her shoulder then at that. Seeing the bond between her and his son, Preston hid a smile, relieved that this never damaged their bonds. And that he and his family were the ones beyond loyal to her and her family as he looked at Billy who had the same look on his face as he looked at her as Nathan exchanged smiles with him.
And James and they both hid a nod, relieved their kids we're still a single quartet then as she went further as she laid into him. "Jason wasn't choosing between us, I'm his twin sister, it's a choice of his love life or his family, and he chose his family. So what's the problem exactly, he chose us without thinking twice about it. Because he's my brother, Tommy his brother in law, Billy his other twin brother, we're triplets now."
"Until you left, it was going Gung Ho, working together, what changed exactly, was it that you come to regret that decision when you saw us together. The fact I did what you didn't, that you lost two thirds of your childhood pack, what exactly. Because my primary concern is making sure Draco never comes back. And gets his hands on the Dragon Dagger, my mate is the one most endanger, I'm trying to keep this team together."
"Yes we were your team mates, at one point, but things changed, life changes and at some point you have to grow up. And we have, Billy and I were offered two life changes decisions, made new friends and in the middle of it got hurt. We're not those same kids you knew 12 years ago, we grew up, we changed, we matured, and you can't stop the change, anymore than you can stop us from growing up now at the moment."
"That change was inevitable when you left, you knew things weren't going to stay the same forever. Especially when you decided to accept the offer to go to the peace conferences in Geneva. Zordon gave two options to stay or to go, you chose to leave and asked the duo to take care of us, and here's the result. But I told you regarding Angela to prevent this exact situation from happening." she said and watched his eyes then.
"So I take it the letter she sent you arrived today, if you decided to back out and by doing that, you just basically told their parents, my father-in-law. That you're taking sides in something that is no damn business of yours right now. We don't want your sympathy or support, the sextet know I need them more than Tommy does right now, as do your adult versions, such as it is right now at the moment here, you two."
"You're stuck in the past at the moment, but listen to me a second, since we became power rangers it's we had to grow up a bit to do this job. But you're trying to be this new person since you left. And believe me you're not the only one, you're the second youngest members of our childhood gang. But I'm the youngest of the five of us, but 1) I had to take up the leadership role on more than one occasion here at the moment."
"2) my parents are in Paris and I had to deal with a split second change in living arrangements after the Campbells offered to let me live with them. 3) I'm dealing with the act of getting targeted repeatedly by our enemies. 4) Tommy just proposed to me, and I'm engaged now, 5) I'm separated from our family and friends at the moment. 6) is that I had to choose between protection of the town over my happiness at the moment."
"And 7) and here's the big one, I can't fight the monsters without draining my powers down so dangerously it could put me back in the hospital. But again, you're trying to be this new you, trying to grow up, and I understand that. But what you don't understand you two, is he and I are doing the very same thing right now. We've always had a bond from the very start and did you forget whose parent was dying of a fatal disease here."
"Who pulled him out of it and who it was he was determined not to leave the side of after she was being put through repeated workouts till she collapsed exactly. I mean sure you're acting like you're carefree and fun loving, but at some point you have to change and grow up. You know I never had an easy life, because though I already had a father, he was never around and your parents helped mom raise me and with it now here."
"Is the fact that I've had to pull things through on more than one occasion, but guess who mattered the most to Billy now exactly. To him, I stay and he's got his surrogate twin with him still, I don't and he's all alone after this. But though we did have each other, after you left and we had to see Tommy get duplicated as Draco was back on the loose and your replacements had to deal with a, to their thoughts now at the moment."
"A completely evil Tommy, but ever since Rita came back into the picture we've had our lives trapped in a state of utter turmoil. And ever since you three left for Geneva at the moment here. I mean you say you can understand how we feel, but the point of this is you don't. You're the middle kids in a group of five, we're the youngest and you left, and we had to become the middle children since then as a result here at the moment."
"Training your replacements, but in a second we lost you, gained your replacements and became the oldest children and the only originals left on the team. The said originals that know the difference between Tommy and Draco, and can tell the difference between our Tommy and his alter ego. We never expected to see Draco again after Dragon got put back into hibernation and with it, it's just weeks after the duo got married too."
"And believe me, you think one of them on their own is bad, try having them create a union, and then have her entire family show up. But we're the ones that understand how our enemies think here and with it is teaching them the act of team work. And then to top it off, for Tommy, is that he has to be the one to take the mantle. But the idea of being a mentor, the oldest in a group of five now, is now terrifying to us because with it."
"I have the knowledge and know how in how to recognize my own brother, just to prevent him from getting shot here when Zedd created a clone of him. I had to run a test, and then barely a few weeks after that. Then comes the fact that Zedd unleashed a slime monster known as Ivan Ooze, and we lose our original powers after he destroys the command center and it nearly kills Zordon while doing it at the time."
"We had to get new powers and then I get hit with the flu, just after that, after we get back and the quintet get called in. To head for Alpha's home planet at the time, before Rita's brother shows up and then barely a month later mom tells me she and Pierre are being transferred to Paris. And to keep me from leaving, the Campbells invite me to live with them and they adopt me as Aunt Janet's god daughter now as a few months later."
"Is one thing or another and to the point, I suffer the very same thing he does, but now it's far more dangerous. Because the power coins are now connected to our life force, and losing them can kill us now. And the quintet are blackmailed into using Zedd's zords and I'm stuck at half strength forever after that. So don't act like this is unfair, you haven't been though what we did." she said as Damian crawled into her lap at that.
Watching the wolf spirit sitting in her arms, Billy hid a smile as he knew his wolf was acting like them when they were little. "I think that sums it up right now, if we were toddlers again, that's you and me together when we were two. If some big kid picked on you and I was trying to comfort you right now." Billy said to her as and she nodded as Tommy and Jason hid a chuckle at that remark as she answered him at that.
"I'll say and he's taken our 5 to 10 year old cub size because he's looking like a preschool puppy." she said and finished that smiling. "Thanks Dame, I know you're trying to keep me from losing my temper right now. But frankly, if they've got a problem with us being bonded to their replacements, then who's fault is that?" she asked and he nodded in agreement and pressed his furry forehead to hers as she saw a smile in his eyes then.
"Who is that exactly if he did that?" Trini asked quickly and Billy answered that. "I guess you don't remember what I looked like when we were 7 to 10 years old, Trini. He's me when we were in the 1st to 4th grades as kids. As spirit animals they grow up with you, but mine chose both of them without thinking twice about it right now. Let me ask you something is their happiness really worth risking the safety of the entire town."
"Is it really worth putting our family, our friends, at risk of Draco, is it?" he asked sternly and they both swallowed at that. "Yes he's right, is our happiness really more important then the greater good right now, you two. Until I came along you were wondering when she was going to find her exact match and when I do. You're both beyond thrilled she has me to keep her happy, but long distance relationships never work here."
"To save our relationship we took our parents advice and you're holding a grudge at her because we did what you didn't think to do. And we took your parents advice without thinking twice about it, just what does that say exactly to us. You'd rather we weren't happy as the time causes us to start cheating on each other. As this later turns into a real one, I don't think so you two, we decided to put thing on hold and we're happy."
"And you're taking sides in a situation when we specifically said to stay out of this, it's not your love life, so but out." Tommy said to him. "That's not fair you two." Zack said and she nodded. "Yeah exactly it's not fair, but life's not fair Zack, so grow up, you asked the duo to take care of us, and now you're acting like a couple spoiled brats. And simply because we belong to them now, just what the heck is your problem exactly anyway."
"Things change, life changes, we can't be kids forever, when we took on our powers we turned into young adults and since then its time to face the facts. Nothing stays the same forever, we grew up, we changed and we created a new sextet. Jason came back and put his bond back into place with us, but you, you're acting like I did. And when the bloom of doom got to me, but look at the trio and me now, our bonds are beyond tight."
"Billy was all I had left of the original team, our childhood quintet, we tightened our bonds and he knows I need him most at the moment. By being my brother, my spirit twin, my werewolf, we're no longer the triceratops and the pterodactyl. We're the crane and wolf now, he maybe a pack animal, but by breaking the news to him. Right after Tommy and I discussed this, he chose without thinking twice and knows I need him."
"But Alpha, omega, beta, Alpha's third, Alpha's fourth, secondary beta, when you guys left we recreated the team and that's the sextet and me. But with each of them matched up to the other role in genders, the ending results are you just shoved yourselves into alpha's fifth and Omega's fourth. Directly translating that is Adam and Tanya are the secondary Betas, in both genders, Kat and Billy, Alpha's third, Sha' and Rocky."
"Beta, and Tommy and me, the Alpha of the pack, by leaving you just shoved yourself to the other half of the power team. We belong to Rocky, Adam and Aisha now, we were the first to become Ninjetti and here's the damn result, I belong to them now. Jesse made it clear, I belong to the duo, if you never want to lose us, you shouldn't have left, but you did, you wanted to keep your powers and position, you didn't have to leave, but you did."
"That's all there is too it, and now you're ticked that you didn't think this all the way through, forget it, it's not my job to hold up this friendship it's a two way street." she said as they heard a furious bird screech as the pillow jumped off the couch at that. "Firebird?" James asked and they nodded. "Fire calm down alright, before you blow up the tv next baby." he added as they heard a coo and Melissa finished that remark gently.
"Nice she loses her temper and causes the pillow to jump off the couch, so what's next exactly, if we all lose our tempers all at once here?" Erica asked and she sighed. "You're going to blow the car next if that does happen, Aunt Erica. With us it's causing things like the chairs or pillows to get launched across the room. For mom, she loses her temper completely and she is going to destroy her computer or cause the notepad to catch fire."
"So try to keep your tempers." Kim said as they heard a loud bird screech as the second pillow got launched across the room and Tony caught it at that. "Great, mom's ticked off right now, because that one had an adult sounding tone to it. Mom calm down before you break or blow something up alright. We got it under control, just take it easy." she said and they heard a gentle hoot as an adult female voice answered her at that.
"Chick after Lex told me what happened, I'm not having you drain yourself to your hatchling stage right now. Because Darren and Bella don't have their heads on straight. Daniel, Kiara, you better deal with your Cubs, now. Because this lands my chick back in her nest and your Cubs are in serious trouble with me, Buck, Eric and Lexa. And I'm not kidding, but by those names I mean your animals you two, but as my chick said we're matched to our chicks."
"But you're the lion and the sabertooth tiger, you guys, but the added problem is everything they feel. What they feel, it ends up in us, so if they snap the link between them and the quartet. Then we're going to feel it at the exact same time, so if this continues and my human and Lex are the next to find out and your chicks are in trouble." they heard and Peter and Mei both nodded to the request.
"Well Carrie is getting more ticked off by the minute about this, I know that tone, and she's ready, to, if you cross that line Zachary. To throw me in the pool next if this gets any worse, young man." Peter said and Erica looked at him. "I take you guys look just like the kids when we were their age?" she asked and he nodded and pulled a photo out of his wallet as they saw the adult quintet as teenagers then and gave it to her.
"How did you figure out that was Carrie that fast exactly?" Andrea asked and they sighed. "Because her temper got duplicated into my god daughter, Kimberly is a baby firebird, her mother is the adult one and when she loses her temper. You better stand back and the three of us have known this since we were 12 years old, but our kids personalities, they got them from us." Preston said to her and she nodded to him.
"Added side effects, we lose our tempers as do our animals and that's the result here." Tommy said as they heard an annoyed growl as the pillow jumped off the floor a second time and his parents sighed at that. "Drag, you better get it together before you and Fire destroy the tv or cause the crock pot to go flying out the sink next son." Preston added and they heard a gentle growl and coo to answer him and the teenage sextet hid a smile.
"Alright baby, calm down, why don't you tell us the reason for why the trio are holding that much anger at the duo are right now." she said and the sextet sighed as Kim explained it to them as she looked at their parents. "As we said, with 60% of the Ninjetti team still active, I'm back to being in year one, as is Billy. While Aisha is in year two, but if they would just focus right now, the girls could share the yellow ranger position."
"And we have a full sextet now, but three boys, three girls and bingo, we can help where we can in this, but we don't have the powers to match Mondo's monsters. So we can't fight in battle unless we use the zeonizers now, which is where our added plan comes into it, as this weekend, if there's trouble. It's Billy, Jason, Tommy, Aisha and I are swapping off with the girls, Adam and Rocky to be back in our original colors again."
"But they're jealous that they lost their connection to us while the three of us are connected to their replacements. We made two new friends with Kat and Tanya and Jason chose his family, me and Tommy over them now. But the last and final piece to this is that they're way too hung up on Jake and Angela to realize there's something more at stake then a broken heart, said stake is that Zedd and Rita are back and Draco's awake."
"But I'm basing this question with you: dad, Uncles Preston, Peter, but is our happiness really more important then the greater good right now. If we can't focus, it could get them hurt or killed and we're the ones putting our lives on the line to protect the town, and you from our enemies upstairs." she asked and Preston said it firmly. "Your happiness is not more important, if it's for the greater good, you made the right choice."
"Without Tommy completely focused that could get them hurt or killed, but Draco, we can't have that maniac back on the loose. If it means for the safety of the greater good, it's best to take a step back and put things on hold. But you made the best choice you could have right now. And cross country or global relationships never work either. To maintain a relationship this strong it's best to put things on hold and rebuild it."
"Until you're back together, Tommy told me you guys were beginning to have problems and that you were trying to keep that up at the time. But at some point you have to draw the line at trying and set things on hold. And you took our advice without needing to ask, that was fine, you did the right thing. For your sakes, this was the right choice and you fix what went wrong, but what about the quartet." he said to her gently then.
"Yeah it's the same for the boys, we fix the bonds, make them tighter then ever before, but that's the punchline to the song, if Saban adds the letter to the show. 'What if I never let you go, would you be the man I used to know.' And we got the answer to that question by my just telling them up front. And the boys chose me without thinking twice about it, and the guys are still the men I know, but that's exactly the problem."
"In Zack's case, he's lost his touch and forgot at one point it's always been us, the sextet, the guys, both versions of our original team. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, that's the nine of us, but the only ones acting like themselves, and the way I know them. Now, are, Tommy and the quartet: Jason, Rocky, Adam and Billy, the quartet chose without thinking twice and it's me and it will always be me now to them, in their eyes."
"I'm their sister, they'd never let me go, Kat and Aisha, it's the same, for Kat she didn't have to think twice about it, because of everything I did for. When you moved here Aunt Andrea, Uncle Rick, as for Tanya, just hearing the truth was enough she chose without thinking twice, saw the lie and made her choice. It's me and it will always be me, because we developed the bond at the start of this week now, but here it is now."
"But last year was the most traumatizing term we had actually regarding this job, but the movie and the Ninja quest ark was the entire story here, mom. Ivan destroyed our Dino ranger power coins and we went to Dulcea and gained the great power. It was after Rito came into the picture that we lost the thunderzord upgrade next. And we had to go to Ninjor to get our powers completely activated now, but from there and that point on."
"The next twenty episodes were my story arc, leading into when Kat took my place at the time. But every time you saw us as Ninja's in the movie, that was really us you were looking at the entire time, but the sextet they chose look just like us. I really am the pink crane Ninjetti ranger." she said and the Olivers nodded. "So you six were the sextet dressed in the robes and uniforms all this time?" Andrea asked and they nodded to her.
"We are, but the five of us made up the megazord, and he was the finishing piece to bring it all together. For two years after you moved to town, he grew used to be in a sextet, and suddenly Zedd and Rita, and Mondo, take that all away with me and Billy off the team now. That's why I came back now, he's in a soul searching exercise right now, which is why he's seeing Sam all over the place." she said and the new quartet nodded.
Who is Sam exactly?" Mei asked and she explained that. "His maternal grandfather, his mother was Native American and after she and T.J. died, he couldn't take care of both him and his older brother David. And put Tommy up for adoption, after 15 years during the Zeo quest the path lead him back to his tribe. And that explains the arrow head around his neck." Kat said for her and she nodded as Kim finished that explanation.
"Out of the ten of us, only Kat, Jason and I understand this, because she's just like him as she suffered the same beginning he did and I turned my powers over to her. And she promised she'd take care of him for me when I left, so she was around for him when he met Sam and found his way back to Dave and their tribe. And later told me this over the phone and I decided to help him out where I could now, regarding these things."
"But I see the symptoms of his trying to find and remember who he is right now, because this entire issue is like falling in with the in crowd. And trying to remember who you were, said who is he was the leader of a sextet. And the original white and green Rangers and now he's dressed in the color of his best friend and he's lost sight of who he is now with me and Billy off the team now." she said and they nodded as James said it.
"So what's the reason for why my son is this distracted, aside from you baby, you're his imprint, maybe you could clarify this for us and for the duo. As they can't understand right now just what the previous nine months did to our children." James said and she sighed as she explained it to the seven. "Since he switched colors and I left, it's the act of forgetting who he is and once was, his main colors are green and white, previously."
"The first lyrics of his song were expressing an added problem, he's got ten to fifteen people in his head, and the gang is talking behind his back. Because they're all getting worried about his loss of focus right now. The only person he needs to hear talking to him is his heart, hence the surname." she said and sighed as she finished. "I spent nine months after I left trying to keep up a long distance relationship here."
"Till finally I had to draw the line and instead of separating after I sent that letter, Tommy suggested we put things on hold. And we rebuilt the bond, and here's the result, our friendships, my relationship with him, they're solid as a rock. He's my other half, but that's the piece to the song, and he's still the man I know." she said and Tommy pulled her into his arms and she pressed her forehead to his. Seeing in his brown eyes the amount of love he had for her and their parents watched their colors intertwine.
Just before a green strand got added to it and they smiled as they got the message. "You're his heart, his other half, so you're his imprint and with you gone he's lost his focus and to fix that problem. It's though taking a step back, you're seeing each other every day after practice and school till the year ends and the summer begins?" Erica asked and they nodded to her as she finished explaining the rest of the song to her.
"Yeah exactly, but the next three verses were 'did you ever, lose yourself to get what you want', 'did you ever, get on a ride and then want to get of. 'Did you ever, push away the ones you should have hold close, did you ever let go, did you ever not know. Direct translation to those remarks starting with the first was the day we met at school. After Rita got her hands on him, he was placed under a spell till we freed him."
"But he lost himself and when we freed him he got what he wanted most, friends and a place to belong now. With his being the first to lose his powers, the added fact became clear, he was the one both sides were waiting for. And he's getting sick of having his abilities and his titles thrown at him every time he turns around. And finally me, to protect me, he told me to leave, when he should have kept me with him now."
"As for the last two, did you ever let go of a piece of yourself and did you ever forget who you became, who you truly are. That's the entire problem he's forgotten who he really is, because before he was the green ranger, 1 year later he switches colors and he spends 18 months as the white and he was hoping to stay in these colors forever. Like the trio, red, blue and black, and the trio take that away from the guys as well, with us."
"We all expected to be in our colors forever, and thanks to new missions in life and our enemies we lost that fact in who we are. Which brings it to the next set of lyrics now. 'I want to know if there's a path worth taking, should I question every move I make, with all I lost my heart is breaking, I don't want to make the same mistake.'. To translate those it's ever since he met Sam, he's been on a quest to remember who he is now."
"And by Mondo killing Sam, and him finding David, he's been questioning every decision he's making. The job is tearing pieces out of his heart, it's already put Billy on the sidelines and me out of the team to protect me from our enemies. And I happen to be the big one, and he's decided he's not making the same mistake twice now. Which is why we decided to put things on hold, but he's not letting me go now this time."
"But that's the next piece to the chorus line, 'did you ever, doubt your dream would ever come true, blame the world, but never blame you. I will never, try to live a lie again, I don't want to win this game, if I can't play it my way.'. With several losses in the competitions now he's losing hope he's ever going to win the championship. The fact that the machine empire arrived has stripped me, Aisha and Billy from the team now."
"And frankly we're all sick of having to lie to you and we decided enough was enough, and decided, if you busted us, we're telling you the truth. And we don't want to fight this war and win it, if we can't make the rules and Zordon decided to let us make changes." she said and he nodded. "Well I can see you understand this better then anyone and my son better then the boys, Tanya and Kat do, baby." James said and she nodded to him.
"Yeah that's exactly the problem, the last time Jason, Billy I saw him like this was after he lost his powers for good. But I wasn't letting him pull away from us and he came back stronger then ever now. And now it's in reverse, I'm scared out of my mind that he's going to get captured and turned back into Draco and I'm going to lose him. Because they put me in the hospital or the duo cause him to break." she said and they nodded.
"I don't blame you for that remark, the guys, Aisha and I had the life scared out of us when he tried to disconnect her life force from her power coin. But it was after Coach came into the picture and she finally collapsed out of exhaustion that I was ready to go green ranger and kill Zedd and Goldar for it." Tommy added to him and he nodded. "To repeat my remark though they say they understand regarding us, me and you, honey."
"But they can't and how could they, your power coin was never stolen, you're not the one who was kidnapped, you're not the one who was being drained of your powers till it nearly killed you. They're not the ones here who were blackmailed into working for them, your best friend is not the one who was turned into a plant to get close to you. And they're not the ones who are scared out of their minds you're going to work yourself."
"Until it puts you on the mat, so don't insult their, or more accurately my quintet's, intelligence they don't understand and they could never understand what this did to the six of you. But everything you ever did since you were freed from that spell you did for me baby, I love you. You're my everything, I'm never letting you go." Kim said and he pulled her into his arms as Jake said it for himself, Nathan, Dillon and Andrea at that.
As they heard a furious bird screech in answer to that and he pressed his forehead to her's as they heard a cooing as the cooing skipped two beats and settled a second time as she pulled him into a hug. "Oh boy that's twice in twenty minutes, I know she's holding resentment at those two. But that's no reason to have her blow up something or throw the couch cushion across the room." Dillon said with a bemused look on his face.
"That's the resentment right now baby, we, us adult and cub versions, are holding against the quartet right now. Regarding last year, that though they say they can understand and to you, us, it's how could they. Because they never had the life scared out of them regarding you after they stole your power coin. While Trini is not the one who was turned into a plant to steal it?" he asked and the sextet nodded with a sigh.
"Yeah that's it exactly, but put yourselves in our places now, you've just dealt with having them try to turn you against each other. And then a few weeks later comes they steal mom's power coin, and by using Aunt Andrea to steal it. And the second they do she's feeling like she's having dizzy spells and you tell the quartet to stay with her. While you go deal with the monster dad, but they get their hands on your zord."
"And without your zord the others won't work, before they lead mom into a trap and again use Aunt Andrea to do so and you see them draining mom's powers right out of her body. And you're feeling Draco getting stronger by the minute as Zedd tells you it's you man his zords or she dies. And you have no choice, to save your girlfriend, your future wife, you have to do this, before Uncle Nathan comes up with an idea."
"And uses the teleporters he created when Rita had used the green candle to steal your powers. And you go in after her and fight it out with him, until you injure him and destroy the device. But Zordon has to be the one to take the edge off the fact that the more she uses her abilities the more it's likely to put her on the mat now. The five of you decide she's only going in if need be now, and you and Uncle Nathan most of all."
"You decide this regarding mom as you both saw it in yourself, your powers were slightly weaker then they were after they returned to you. And you know that though you lost your zords, you gained an added edge, with the Shogun zords now. It's been close to three months later when Coach Schmidt shows up and offers to become her trainer now. And she's training until they decide to keep her out of the qualifying rounds."
"By repeated attacks and she's so exhausted she collapsed on you once, before it happens again that night and this time right off the balance beam. While Aunt Andrea sees this, the spell cracks finally and she calls you, and the paramedic's and gets mom to the hospital. And she tells mom the truth, before mom reveals how you became a power ranger and to the rest of you it doesn't matter now anymore, she's a victim."
"Just like you are and were and she decides to get mom's power coin back and with it your zord and you're back in action. But mom turns her power coin over to her and to the six of you its to protect her now from this a second time. She has to leave now, but the last gift you created for her before she does is the necklace with your symbols on it and her in between the six of you." Tommy said and they closed their eyes at that.
Feeling the emotions shoot through them they heard six angered growls, howls, meows and screeches as they opened their eyes at that. "That's why you're holding resentment at them, though they dealt with it in Tommy, they never had to deal with the constant fear your sister was going to put herself in the hospital. And for overdoing it, with it, us as the parents involved in this, as we nearly get the life scared out of us because of it."
"The five of us are the parents involved and with us is Janet while your mother-in-law is the victim and our latest member of the gang was turned into a plant. And she's living with the guilt that she's the reason your mother-in-law left the team and lost her powers and is this weak?" Jake asked and they nodded. "Yeah that's it exactly, we've had the life scared out of us and to us they don't understand, they're not the trio involved here."
"And with it, dad, is that though they say they can understand how we feel, to us, it's don't insult our intelligence. Tommy's powers were taken by a green candle, and Jason tried to get it back, but it was his powers or his life, and they chose his life. But to us, last year, it's far more dangerous now, our power coins were connected to our life force now and when you've been a power ranger for longer than a year now."
"It's like detoxing from a very high dose of stimulates or drugs, and suddenly going cold turkey can and will kill. But Zedd was speeding up the process and then said if we wanted to keep her alive we had to man his zords, the shogun zords. The entire line of episodes the twins were watching shows the entire story of this. It's been way too close on more than one occasion here for us regarding her." Rocky said shaking in grief then.
Looking at Rocky she pulled him into a hug and he tightened his arms around her as she pressed her forehead to his and their colors intertwined then. "As Ninjetti, the process is far more dangerous, if severed, so to lose one or both them our bond, the connection is so strong. If it was suddenly severed, all at once, that it would be like you cut our hearts out, they don't get that and they never could, until they deal with it themselves."
"And though we didn't want her to leave, if it meant protecting her now that she supposedly retired it was our only chance to protect her. But that's our entire set of feelings regarding this. Don't insult our intelligence you two, it's not his power coin that was stolen, he's not the one who was kidnapped. You're not the ones blackmailed into keeping her alive by manning your enemy's zords, your team mate, your sister."
"You're not the ones worried out of your minds your team mate, your sister is going to be called in so much it's going to put her in the hospital and then it finally happens. And your new team mate gets kidnapped and you're all so pissed you're ready to take it out on someone or start sparring till you drain the anger and grief out of you. So again don't insult our intelligence, you can't understand how we feel about this whatsoever."
"Last year was the most traumatizing term we had to deal with since we became Rangers, but they've been retired for two years. And frankly though, we're all not completely retired as ninjas at the moment, and we're scared out of our minds here. That she's going to work herself till it puts her back in the hospital, because she drained herself so dangerously it put her on the mat." Adam added as he pulled her close to him.
"They gave up their powers and here's the damn result, Kim belongs to us now as our original pink. But we created a group of seven now, that got recreated into the Ninjetti nine, it doesn't matter what they say, but that was then, this is now. She grew up, made new friends, got handed two life changing decisions and in the middle of it got hurt. She's grown up and matured with Shalimar and they haven't and with that in mind."
"I don't think anyone was expecting us to let it go anyway, with you and the boys, you guys made your choice and Kim's it. Our friendship is all that matters to you, and though you can't control what you say till we get here, it doesn't matter all it takes is you seeing her face to face and in her presence and it cracks automatically. We're Ninjetti, a Ninjetti can hear the truth in another Ninjetti's words, that's all there is to it in this case now."
"They don't want to face that truth, he's hearing, in song, what this could do to us, if Tommy gets turned back and it kills both of you." Aisha added firmly and they nodded. "Alright now I need the truth son, why, since Mondo arrived, have you stopped dressing in your trademark sky blue clothing. I mean I know there's only five positions at the current moment, but why did you retire?" Nathan asked and Kim moved to Billy at that.
An added side effect, when working with the equipment at work, there's a slight danger of irradium, when they, Goldar and Rito. When they started destroying the command center, just to keep the explosion from hitting the others, I risked getting dosed by it. But this caused a slight flunctuation in my body, and the zeonizers can't connect to my body because of it, so as a result I couldn't take on this upgrade, at the moment here."
"But it's not a waste, I'm not retired, in fact, Kim just told us the good news now, because though I can't take on this upgrade, right now. I still have my ninja powers, but Damian is fixing the abnormality in my system regarding irradium. And next year when we double the teams, I can take on the Zeo powers now. But I'm just dressed in a darker tinge to my blue clothing now." he said and they all nodded to him as she looked at him.
"Chalk it up to a true hero's sacrifice in the name of the greater good right now, but it's not a complete waste, because though he's not wearing the uniform. He's still a power ranger, and my werewolf, right, brother." she said and he grinned at her as he pulled her into a hug and she tightened her arms around his neck as Nathan smiled at that. "Nothing's changed and nothing's going to charge, not now, not ever, for me."
"You're my best friend, my sister, my twin, I'm not letting you go Kim." he said and she buried her head into his shoulder. "Like we said she's all I had left of our quintet, and vice versa, that's why she didn't want to leave home, she leaves and we're all alone after that. She stays and we're both the final pieces of our toddler quintet here and we created a new group of seven, we were happy now and we didn't want to let that go."
"But seeing her every day after school leading into the summer, every day after practice, the bonds are back to the way they used to be now for for us." Bily said and they nodded and she smiled. "With you seven knowing the truth now, you guys want to see us in ninja mode though?" she asked and they nodded. "Alright, Ninjetti, the falcon." "The Frog" "The Ape" "The Crane" "The Wolf" The Bear" The sextet called out one by one.
Looking at the sextet dressed in their combat uniforms the male quartet smiled in shock as they now saw them in their third year then. "Oh my god, I should have seen it before, but the call out order was the same as the movie. It was you all this time?!" Jamie said in amazement and they nodded. "Yeah its us, little brother, this was us last year, before the gruesome twosome finally got rid of me and Kat took my place seven months ago."
"Whenever I wasn't between Adam and Billy, I always took the position between Rocky and Tommy." Kim said as they pushed back the cuffs from their mouth and their hoods as they saw them dressed with their sweat bands. As the male trio saw gold diamonds on their boots, wrists cuffs and sweatbands and James looked at Tommy. And he saw gold lining on his and the black diamonds and nodded as they looked at them smiling.
"So this is going to be us when your powers reach full power, we're going to be dressed in an adult version to your robes now?" Preston asked and they nodded. "Yeah dad, but you're going to be dressed in cherry red with gold diamonds. Aunt Erica, you've got gold robes with silver diamonds. And Aunt Andrea you're wearing purple with gold diamonds on yours, as for the duo it's orange with white and silver with black and if cub activates."
"It's green with gold, which was Tommy's original color, but though dressed in white diamonds on us in uniform, we got gold diamonds in our training robes now. But when Kat, Tanya and I stated we were going Ninjetti we activated our powers now. But to us it doesn't matter what they do in their relationship. Because this is no business of ours now, we all made our choice and we choose both side in this situation."
"And again you two, if you're getting jealous you only have yourselves to blame right now. I mean you could have declined in going to Geneva, could have chosen to stay, but no you didn't. If you wanted to change things then why didn't you come back after the duo got their hands on my power coin." she said and thst did it as Zack, feeling the anger, jealousy and heart break, in him, lashed out as he said it to her firmly at that.
