Tears-Part 4

"Jen! Jen, it's me, Wes!"

I shook her shoulders until she slowly opened her eyes.

"Wes?" She squinted at me, like she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

I hugged her tightly. "How did you get here? What happened?"

"We came to rescue you. And then that…that..thing attacked me from behind. These guys don't play fair." She sighed. "And I might ask you how you got here too!"

"I saw the time ship…and I thought it was you…coming back…but then Zertroko came out, and took over and built his big castle thing." I closed my eyes, remembering the hideous scenes of carnage Zertroko had envoked on Silver Hills. "We tried to stop him…but he was just too strong."

She leaned her head on my shoulder. "I don't know what to do…the mutant is just too strong…and the others are still outside…" She trailed off wearily.

We looked into each others eyes, and both realized we loved each other. Somehow it seemed more real than when we had confessed on the beach. We trusted each other beyond anyone else. And our lips came closer and closer…

Until they met in a deep passionate kiss. We had both forgotten Eric was there, and he put up with the kissing until we started to take our clothes off. Eric cleared his throat loudly and sent us a disapproving look. "Don't forget, I'm your chaperone."

Jen sent him a disgusted look. "You suck, Eric, you know that?"

"Look who's talking, Mrs. Collins!" He retorted, making both of us blush an angry red.

There was a staring contest of identical glares neither of them one because the button on Jen's morpher beeped.

She looked at it. "Hmm…it's from the silver ranger…that's Alex. I hope he's ok," she said, making me feel not a little jealous.

"Hello Pink Ranger." Zertroko's head appeared on the communacator.

Jen gasped. "Shit! He's got Alex!"

Zertroko smiled. "Well, aren't you the smart one. Thinking you could sneak in behind my back. Time Force was never a match for me.

Jen simply stared. "But how…why?"

The half man, half mutant proclaimed, "The silver morpher will add to my powers, and soon I will take over the past and the future!" He disconnected.

We all remained staring at the morpher for about a minute, unable to believe what had just happened.

Jen curled herself into a ball in the corner of the prison and started to cry. "Alex is dead."

I tried to be optimistic. "How do you know that? He might have escaped."

She uncurled herself and shook her head. "The morpher…wouldn't have locked on to Zertroko's DNA unless Alex was dead, otherwise it would only work with someone with Alex's DNA. Only if he died…than a new DNA lock would be made…" She blinked hard.

"I'd better check on the others." Jen pressed her morpher. "Katie? Trip? Come in!"

Katie's head appeared. "Sorry, don't really have time to talk right now! Bye!" She seemed to be fighting some robots.

Eric frowned. "I wonder what's going on out there?"

I shook my head. "I don't know."

The bang of the door opening made us all jump. "Who's there?" My voice echoed oddly off the metal walls.

It was Zertroko himself.

Notes-AGGGHHH! SUSPENSE! I will try to get up the next chapter very very soon, but it will take some time. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!
