Tommy was lying in his room when his morpher beeped. Tommy raised his arm under in chin. "This is Tommy, go ahead," he said.
"TOMMY OLIVER! You better have a good reason you haven't called the others and I. We have been worried sick," yelled Kim
"Sorry, but something's happened," he said softly. His voice was uneasy, hopelessness was in it.
"What? What's wrong?" asked Kim, she was afraid to ask. Afraid of what his answer would be. Tommy took a deep breath; he was upset, concerned and uncertain of what he should do.
"We think, they got Wes we haven't been able to track him down. And Jen has a concussion; she's alright but won't be on the battle field. It would be too dangerous for her," said Tommy, sadly. He came up with the consummation it was his fault, if he hadn't told Jen to set the bomb she would be fine and Wes would have never taken off.
"How's Jen doing, with Wes missing I mean," asked Kim sadly knowing very well she probably wasn't. Tommy shied, he hadn't gone to seen Jen in a few hours can't barreling to look her in the face.
"Not too good," he said softly.
Jen lay in her dorm room, the room she used to share with Wes. She was fiddling with her wedding ring, tears in his eyes. Her heart felt so empty, she didn't know where he was or if he was okay. And what scared her the most was, she might never see him again, look him in the eyes to tell him how much she loves him. A knock came at the door.
"Who is it?" she asked softly, already knowing who it was.
"Eric, can I come in?" he asked, his voice was full of concern and a little uneasy. Almost as if, he wasn't sure he was doing the right thing or how to act.
"Yeah," said Jen softly. Eric opened the door and closed it behind him making as little noise as possible. He could see the pain in her eyes, the fear. Eric took a seat next to her on the bed. When Jen could no longer handle it, tears began to stream down her face. Eric hated seeing her like this.
"Hey, it's going to be okay. Were going to get him back….I…I promise," said Eric putting his arm around her. He held her in his arms, letting her ling to him like a teddy bear.
The mega ship shook inside, as it received a blast from the alien fliers. "We can't take much more of this," said T.J. as he held on to the controls tightly.
"Deca, set weapons on external power," said Carlos keeping his eyes right on the tracking screen where he had been locking onto the space fighters.
"As you wish, Carlos," said the computer. T.J. watched as the five fliers grouped together heading right at them.
"Cassie, Ashley get ready to fire on my command," said T.J. looking at the two female rangers. Both of them were seated by the weapon controls, getting ready to follow T.J.'s command.
"Were ready when you are," said Ashley putting her hand around the blaster controls. Cassie pushed a few buttons to get everything ready.
"Yeah, let's give theses guys a run for their money," said Cassie looking at the screen darkly. This was it this one shot, would be the one that needed to count. The space fliers were powering up, getting ready to fire.
T.J. nodded his head; his look became stern as the enemy was approaching. He waited for the right moment. "FIRE!" he yelled.
Cassie and Ashley both pushed the weapon controls. They all watched as the blast went right at the alien space fliers just as they had fired. The mega ships blaster were stronger and forced both blast, exploding the five fliers.
Joys of laughter filled the ship, they had won. "Yes, we got them," cheered Carlos almost jumping. But, T.J. knew it wasn't over yet their friends were going to need them.
"Were not done yet, we need to get to the others," said T.J. looking at his friends, being the leader he was born to be. They all looked at him knowing he was right, that was just the beginning.
"But, it will take us a least two days to get to Viron," said Ashley looking at T.J. The blue ranger nodded his head; he knew that to be true all too well.
"I know," he looked at his friend's bravely knowing they had no clue what they could be going back to. "We just have to hope we get there before its too late," said T.J. Not an answer they all liked, but that was as good as it would get. Their celebration was over, it would have to wait until it was all over and that their friends were safe and sound.
Trey and Jason were in the living room, or resting room as it was called. They both were sitting down on the couch's having a conversation. "So everything is going good on Triforia?" asked Jason looking at his old friend.
"Yes, everything is well," smiled Trey. Jason nodded his head; he turned towards the wall behind him and saw a picture hanging on the wall. He thought he recognized two of the six people in the picture.
"Is that Zhane and Andros?" asked Jason, they looked so young. Trey looked over to the picture nodding his head.
"Along with their teammates," said Trey, he knew the story behind that picture. That is when Jason realized he didn't recognize the others; they defiantly weren't the other space rangers he knew.
"Well, wait a minute who are the other four?" asked Jason looking over at Trey. Trey face turned to sadness it was not a happy story to tell.
"The young boy with the red morpher, his name was Cordele but everyone called him Coda," Jason could tell by the way Trey's eyes looked this was not a happy story. It was sad, full of pain and loss. "Ten years ago, they were all here on Viron. Their mission was to destroy Kenar and his army," Trey took a deep breath. "During the battle there was a massive explosion," Trey shied as he looked at Jason. "Only Andros and Zhane survived, none of the bodies were ever recovered," said Trey looking down. Jason could see immense sadness in Trey.
Jason took a deep breath, he licked his lips. "How, I mean…"
Trey looked up at Jason and simply said. "The black ranger was my cousin Triker," said Trey sadly. Jason felt regretful for asking, but Trey seemed pleased to tell. It was an honor to be a ranger and an honor to die one.
Unknown to the two, the phantom ranger had over heard their whole conversation. A moment later he left.
Tommy was still talking to Kim. "I love you too, bye beautiful," said Tommy. He then rested his arm on the bed. Tommy took a deep breath, he never felt as unsure as he did now in his life. "I wish you were here Zordon. Boy could we ever use you now," Tommy put his head down. "I don't know what to do anymore, it seems like no matter what I do someone always ends up hurt," said Tommy sadly.
"You'll know what to do when the time comes Tommy, you always have," said a voice. Tommy looked up he wasn't sure if he heard right, that voice it couldn't be. But there she was standing right in front of him, but different a ghost or even maybe an angel.
"Trini?" said Tommy not believing his eyes. The ghostly figure smiled laughing lightly.
"Yes it's me," she walked closer to him and sat down next to him. Tommy looked at her sadly the memory of the accident all coming back to him.
"I'm sorry for. when.." Trini cut him off, she lightly placed her on his shoulder. Tommy looked in her eyes, teas going down his face.
"It wasn't your fault, let go of it Tommy," she said kindly. The tears streamed down his face, let go. There it was the one thing he had needed to do for the longest time. The thing his friends have been trying so hard to help him, do. Trini wiped away his tears with her fingers gently. "Hey, don't cry what the others think if they saw our great leader crying," she smiled.
Tommy smiled back. "I'm not that great," Trini shook her head there was the Tommy she knew, never wanting to take any credit for anything.
"Zordon doesn't think so," said Trini. Tommy looked right at her, speechless. "He has a message for you. Though you will have a long and hard journey ahead of you, remember that good will always prevail," said Trini. Those words touched Tommy like nothing else, he watched as Trini stood up.
"You can't leave Trini. The others they need you,. I need you," said Tommy not wanting to lose his friends again.
"I will always be with you and the others. When ever you need me, you'll know where to find me. This will pass Tommy, I believe in you. You will lead them to victory and then you'll all go home and live your lives, just like we did back in high school. Goodbye Tommy, be brave and tell the others that I send them my love," said Trini kindly. Tommy smiled bitterly,
"Goodbye," he said softly as he watched her disappear.
