Part 5- The Final Battle

Jen's POV

I stood up, utter hatred shining from my brown eyes. "You bastard." I whispered.

Zertroko gave an icy smile. "How amusing. The Pink Ranger's last stand."

I wasn't finshed yet. "You..you..took my parents, you took Alex, but I promise you that you are not going to take me, Wes, Eric, or the other rangers, dammit!"

Eric and Wes stood up on either side of me, offering protection. In one voice we all yelled, "Time For..Time Force!"

I noticed to late that Zertroko had said it too.

The Silver Ranger stood before us, in all his horrible glory.

I could feel tears spring to my eyes but forced them back. I was NOT going to be weak this time. I was going to fight till the end.

Oh, Alex…

I didn't love him as a lover, not as a friend, but as a fighter. A fellow time force officer, in the same predicament as all of us, trying feebly to save the world, taking each breath as it might be your last.

But now he's gone.

And Zertroko will pay, I assure you.

It wasn't like when I took my revenge on Fatcatfish. That bumbling idiot was easy to defeat, and pathetic to fight.

But we were up against a criminal mastermind, and I knew neither Wes or Eric would protest if I destroyed him.

But could I?

Cryo containment was too good for him, and he'd broken out of it anyway. The only way was to destroy him.

I grabbed my chrono sabers and rushed towards him.

Stabbing wildly left and right, I slashed at him, but he easily jumped out of the way, kicking me as he went.

Wes gave an angry yell, then he transformed into the Red Battle Warrior, and Eric went in to Warrior mode as well.

Zertroko looked mildly startled, as if he hadn't expected this. But not for long. Jumping and spinning with incredible speed, he dodged every one of their attacks, and then fired a blaster at them, leaving them crumpled against the wall, demorphed.

Then he turned to me.

I kicked out at him instinctively, leaving him winded for a second. Bits and pieces of thoughts ran through my head. "The last stand…I'll die fighting…" It all seemed too much like a movie.

As he aimed his silver blaster at me, I closed my eyes.

And heard Katie scream, "Kiss my ass, Zertroshit!"

Trip, Lucas, and Katie came running through the doorway of the prison, followed by hundreds and hundreds of… Kronobots?

The robots all jumped for Zertroko, until he was buried, and then lay still, killed by his own minions.

I turned aghast to Katie. "What…How…?"

She grinned. "It was all Lucas's idea. We remembered how you said their souls were still alive, so we got Trip to telepath pictures of their past lives, which he got using his psychic abilities, and they just woke up. Next thing you know, we had done it to all of them and we had an army on our hands."

I hugged each of them hard, feeling the surprise on their faces at their old stiff leader being so open. "Great job." I said, when I could speak again.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Jen stood on the beach where they had first landed so long ago.

One by one, Katie, Trip, and Lucas hugged her and Wes.

Jen watched them disapear into the time ship, tears bright in her eyes.

She was struck by a sudden fierce longing to go with them, back to her own time.

But then Wes put his arm around her, and she knew she would be just fine.


Notes- It sucked, I know. I'm sorry, but I'm reeeeeally busy, so I didn't have much time to work on it, and I wanted to finsh it. Anyway, review if ya feel like it. (no flames please!)
