~2001, Police Headquarters, Silver Hills, Night~

There was a small surge of blue electricity. A man walked outside, investigating the source. He was a police officer. The four mutants teleported in. Ransik spotted the police officer. "Freeze!" The officer yelled, pulling his gun out. Ransik telekinetically grabbed the gun. Frax leaned over, and inspected it. "Hmm, it appears to be an early 21st century weapon." Frax said. Ransik held the gun, and crushed it. Nadira laughed, and walked forward to the officer. She grinned, and grabbed his shirt, lifting him in the air. "What year is it?!" She growled angrily. "2001." He replied. Nadira grinned, and let him go, sending him flying. "2001. That means no Time Force." Ransik stated. He and his gang walked away, laughing evilly.

~Destroyed Time Ship~

The Time Ship was destroyed, and on fire. "Wake up, wake up! The ship has a fuel leak!" Circuit yelled at Trip, causing the alien to bolt up in shock. Trip frantically woke everyone up, and Jen and Melanie grabbed the morphers, and they bolted. They managed to make it out before the Time Ship exploded.

~Melanie~

I groaned in pain, putting my hand on my stomach. The baby kicked, and I sighed in relief. Katie ran over to Trip. "Thanks. We were almost history." She stated, sighing in relief. "Yeah, ancient history." Crystal quipped, causing me to smile, despite the situation. "Luckily I wasn't damaged during the crash, and I managed to wake you just in time." Circuit said. "I wonder where we are." Lucas wondered, looking at the beach. "I can tell you exactly where we are. We're just northwest of a city called Silver Hills, in the state of California, in the year 2001." Circuit explained. "We've gotta get back." Katie murmured. "No. We're not going anywhere! It's our fault Ransik escaped. We aren't going back until we capture him." Jen declared, handing us the Chrono Morphers.

Jen took the last Morpher, and threw the box down. "But Jen. He already beat us once." Trip pointed out. "True, but that was before we had these Chrono Morphers." Jen replied. Jen put her Morpher on her wrist, and a pink energy field surrounded her. "DNA locked." The Morpher said. We followed her example. "DNA locked." Our Morphers confirmed. "Let's go." Jen commanded, and we all nodded. We made our way in what appeared to be a city center, and people stared as they saw our uniforms. We stopped. "They're bound to be around here. Go to scan mode." I said. We stood in a loose circle, and pressed our buttons on our ears. A pair of sunglasses formed, and we split up. Jen and I stuck together. "Nothing abnormal here guys." Trip reported. "I got nothing either." Crystal said. Jen and I continued walking, and we bumped into someone wearing a motorcycle helmet. "Excuse me." We said. "Sorry about that. You OK?" The man replied. I nodded. "See you around." He called, driving off.

I frowned at the voice, and looked at Jen. She shook her head, and we continued walking. "Jen, Mel, I'm picking up mutant DNA." Trip contacted us. "Yeah, we see it too." I responded, noticing the chaos and destruction taking place. "Stop right there!" I yelled, as we all regrouped. "Your shopping spree is over, Nadira." Jen added. "You? Here?" Nadira said, surprised. "There's nowhere to run this time." Jen snapped. "I have no intention of running!" Nadira scoffed. "Ready?" Jen called. We all held our Morphers up. "Time for Time Force!" We yelled, pressing the buttons on our Morphers. Nothing happened. "Are we supposed to be scared now?" The other mutant, Gluto, taunted. "Why aren't they working?" Crystal asked. "I don't know." Jen responded. Nadira laughed, and clapped sarcastically. "Well, that was impressive, NOT! Cyclobots, GET THEM!" She yelled, and the robotic soldiers attacked. We split up, and fought the Cyclobots. I used my claws on the tips of my fingers to mutilate some of the robots. I saw my sister doing the same, and I used my tail to grab a Cyclobot, and hurl it at its comrades, destroying them.

I saw Jen had vanished, and I followed her scent, to find her chasing Nadira, who was laughing. "Come on, come on." Nadira taunted my lover. I growled and charged Nadira, shoulder checking her out of the way. Jen punched and kicked Nadira, but Nadira blocked, and retaliated with a punch to the chest. Nadira kicked me in the chest, and I gasped in pain. Nadira grabbed our wrists, threatening to break them, but Jen and I kicked her in the leg. We both flipped out of the way. Nadira screeched, and charged us, managing to catch us off guard, and kicking us onto some plastic tables. Cyclobots ran over, and grabbed us, holding us tight. "Finish them off!" Nadira ordered, teleporting away in a flash of pink light.

The Cyclobots kicked us back, and were about to blast us, when the man from the motorcycle drove up, and kicked one of them away. He got off his motorcycle, and started fighting the Cyclobots with awesome moves. Jen and I watched, leaning against a building. He finally finished them off, and walked over to us, still wearing his helmet. "Are you all right?" He asked, steadying us. "What was that all about?" He added, taking off his helmet. I whimpered when I saw his face. He looked like Alex, with the same red eyes, and blonde hair, with light skin. "What's the matter? You look like you've just seen a ghost." He said. I stammered, not sure what to say. The others ran over, and Crystal hugged me tightly. "Are you OK?" She asked. I nodded, as everyone noticed the man's resemblance to Alex. "Who is Alex?" The man asked, after Katie's comments.

"Nobody. Thank you for helping us, but we're fine now." Jen replied. He shrugged, picking up his helmet and his keys. "Okay. It's been a blast, but I gotta jam. See ya." He called, walking off. Later, we were in a warehouse. "Guys! I've discovered the problem! It looks like the Red Chrono Morpher is the key to the others." Circuit said. Trip gasped. "Which means, until someone Morphs with it, the others can't be activated, but it's encoded with Alex's DNA." Trip realized. "So we have to find someone whose DNA matches Alex's." He added. "Hey, what about the guy on the motorcycle? You saw how much he looked like Alex." Katie questioned, looking at me and Jen. Jen shook her head. "No, I don't think it's a good idea." She replied. "It might be our only chance." Lucas commented. I frowned, and looked to my lover.

~Collins Mansion, Melanie~

Jen and I were waiting. I hate waiting. I thought to Jen, and she smiled at me. The blonde man walked out with another man following behind. He initially ignored us, before doing a double take. "What are they doing here?" He asked. The man, who was the butler, responded with, "They've been waiting for you. Says it's very important." I nodded, as the blonde looked at us. A third man walked in. He was in his mid40's, with grey hair, and a neat business suit. "You're not going to be late, are you Wesley? You know how I feel about punctuality." He asked. Wes grinned, and adjusted his tie, following his father. "Actually Dad, I can't go. I have a date." He said, walking over to us. "A date?!" Wes's father demanded. "Yes, these are my friends." He replied. "My name is Melanie, and this is my friend Jen." I introduced. All I could feel from him, emotionally speaking, was confusion, and slight anger. "Charmed." He replied. "And you always tell me to keep my commitments, so I told Jen and Melanie that I would take them out." Wes said.

Wes pulled us out of his house before his dad could reply. We walked to his motorcycle. "Thanks, now we're even." He commented, sighing in relief. "Wait a sec, we need to talk to you." Jen said. "You don't need to thank me again." He said, going to put on his helmet. I snagged his keys with my tail before Wes could start his motorcycle. I handed them to Jen. "Give me those!" Wes demanded. "Not until you listen to us." I replied. "We didn't come here to thank you." Jen snapped. "We need your help." I added. "What kind of help?" Wes asked, crossing his arms. "I need you to put on this Morpher and activate it." Jen said. "Hold on, what's a Morpher?" He asked, shrugging Jen off. "If we told you, you wouldn't believe us." I replied. "Try me," He commented. I looked to Jen. She nodded. "Our friends and I are from the year 3000. We're trying to recapture a gang of mutant criminals that escaped through time, and take them back with us." I started, feeling Wes's emotions change rapidly. "We think you may be the only one who can unlock these Morphers so we can defeat them." Jen finished.

Wes looked stunned, and then disbelief colored his face. "I believe you're nuts. Now give me back my keys." He commented. I growled, and hissed in anger, throwing his keys back at him. "I knew you wouldn't help us. You're nothing like him!" Jen snarled, and we walked away. Our Morphers beeped. "Jen, Mel, Ransik has been spotted in the city. We need you." Trip and Crystal notified us. We rejoined our friends. "Did you find him?" Katie asked. "He's worthless!" I snarled, my tail fluffing up in anger. "Then we've gotta do it on our own." Lucas commented. We intercepted Ransik and his gang. "The party is over!" Jen and I yelled. Ransik glared at us. "Time Force. You're under arrest, Ransik!" I growled, holding my Time Badge, and it glowed yellow. "Oh, bravo, young ladies. After what happened to your friend, I am impressed that you have the courage to follow me." Ransik replied, looking smug.

He put his foot on a rock, and pulled out a bone sword from his knee. He fired a blast of electricity at us. We all screamed as we were knocked off our feet. Ransik walked forward, holding his sword. "Still upset about your fiancé's untimely demise? His fate will be your own." Ransik taunted, picking Jen and I up. He laughed, and threw us back, sending us flying, but I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. Wes had caught both of us. He coughed. "Is it too late to help?" He asked, grinning. Everyone ran over. "It's yours." Jen said, handing Wes the Red Chrono Morpher. "Whoo!" He cheered, putting it on. "DNA confirmed." The Red Chrono Morpher said. We walked forward. Crystal and I stood on the outside of our friends. Nadira frowned when she noticed Wes. "Daddy, didn't you already murder him?" Nadira questioned. Ransik glared at Wes. "I killed you once, and I will kill you again." Ransik declared, pointing at Wes. "What's he talking about?" Wes asked us. I shook my head, "Don't ask." We held our Morphers up.

"Time for Time Force!" We declared. A DNA strand was fired out, and enveloped me with gold light, and I saw an endless stream of digital data. The gold light hit me, and I felt an incredible rush of power. I grinned. "Wow, you were telling the truth!" Wes laughed. "Time Force Ranger?!" Ransik demanded in shock. "Let's do it!" Jen yelled. The Cyclobots began firing at us, and we managed to dodge and duck. All of us except for Wes. He was knocked down, and he groaned in pain. "Don't worry, your suit protects you!" I yelled. He laughed, and stood up. "This just keeps getting better." He commented. We split up, and started fighting the Cyclobots. I punched one away from me, and kicked another so hard, it landed at its comrades' feet. I snarled, and continued punching and kicking the bots until they were wiped out. I ran over, and helped Jen, and we worked in complete synchronicity. "Behind you." I called, taking out my Chrono Blaster, and destroying the bot. "Nice shot." Jen said. I blushed under my helmet.

I saw Circuit fly in. "Rangers, what are you waiting for? Use your weapons!" Circuit called. "Good idea." Wes said. "Chrono Saber Red!" He yelled, holding the dual blade. "Chrono Saber Pink!" Jen called. "Chrono Saber Gold!" I added. "Chrono Saber Blue!" Lucas commanded. "V-4!" Katie called, holding a massive yellow blaster. "V-3!" Trip yelled, holding a green blaster. "V-7!" My sister finished, holding the silver blaster. We easily wiped out our respective group of Cyclobots with our new weapons. Ransik teleported away. "NOO!" Jen and I screamed. Four Cyclobots grabbed us, but I punched one of them away, and freed my lover from her captors. We easily beat the remaining two. Gluto charged us, knocking us down. "That's just nasty!" I grimaced in pain. Jen and I jumped up, and kicked Gluto repeatedly, knocking him out of the air. He groaned in pain. Frax blasted me and Jen, laughing. He and Nadira regrouped with Gluto.

"It seems we've got you outnumbered, girlies." Frax taunted. The Rangers joined me and Jen. "You need to learn how to count!" Wes retorted. Nadira laughed mockingly. "Time Strike!" Jen and I yelled, jumping up into the air. She sliced her blades downward and upward, at the twelve and six positions on the clock, and I sliced mine sideways, at the three and nine positions. A massive explosion occurred. "Somebody roll me over!" Gluto demanded. "Do you surrender?!" Jen and I demanded, pointing our blades at Nadira. "No way! My daddy will beat you!" She declared. "Transporting now!" Frax yelled, pressing a button on his wrist, teleporting the three of them away. "They got away!" Wes commented. "This isn't over yet, Ransik." Jen and I vowed. Wes cheered, most likely still feeling the rush of power. "Power Down!" I commanded, and we all Demorphed, and Wes Demorphed too. "I must have taken out a dozen of those pinheads. Lucas, Crystal, you guys were amazing!" Wes rambled.

Jen and I quickly shot down Wes's excitement. "This isn't a game, Wes. We're fighting for our future." Jen growled. "Okay, lighten up. I'm just saying I can't wait to do it again." Wes replied, grinning. I grabbed Wes's wrist, taking off the Red Chrono Morpher. "You won't get the chance to." Jen stated, as I handed her the Morpher. "Hey, what's the deal?" Wes demanded. "We needed you to unlock the Morphers, and you did. We don't need your help anymore." Jen replied. "Whatever." Wes snapped, walking away. "He's a good fighter." Lucas and Crystal commented lightly. "We can get along just fine without him." Jen replied. I nodded in agreement, snuggling close to her. We walked back to the beach where the ruins of the Time Ship remained.
