The ranger had returned to the Animarium, from a failed battle. All of them began to walk over to the picnic table, to rest.

            "Man, we didn't even touch them!" complained Max, holding onto his bronzed arm.

Wes and Jen had stepped aside, to talk. Wes looked into Jen's eyes, happy to know she was alive and well. "Jen, how long have you been here in the presence?" he asked her. Jen put her head down, and then looked back up at him with sadness in her eyes.

            "I've been here about a week, tracking the Mutorgs," she said softly. Wes looked at her he couldn't believe it.

            "A week! Why didn't you contact me?" he asked sadly, he felt hurt that she didn't even make an attempt to contact him after everything they been through. Jen could see the hurt in his eyes. Why hadn't she? She wanted to but…

            "Wes, I wanted to…but….." Princess Shayla walked up to the two, mainly looking at Wes.

            "Excuse me," both Wes and Jen turned looking at her, interrupted just like always.

            "What is it, Princess Shayla?" asked Wes softly. She looked at him, as if she didn't know how to explain it.

            "There seems to be some kind of owl, in your talking machine," she said. Wes and Jen looked at each other. There would only be one owl that would contact them.

            "It's Circuit," said Jen patting Wes on the arm, and then walking over to the communication device. Wes shied they would have to talk later. He walked over to her, and used the controller to fix the communication. The picture cleared up and sure enough it was Circuit.

            "Hi guys, Captain Logan is sending us to help. Reinforcement from the future are on the way," said Circuit. Everyone began to get excited, just maybe they could beat these guys after all. Wes and Jen looked at each other sharing a smile.

            The rangers meant on the beach, they all watched as a time ship landed on the sand. The wild force rangers watched in amazement never had they seen anything like this. Wes, Jen, and Eric waited as their friends came out; Trip was the first to run out. Wes and Jen meant him half way.

            "Wes! Jen...you're alive," said Trip, as he hugged Wes first and then Jen. That is when Jen saw Lucas, Katie, Naderia and Ransik. Jen broke away from the hug quickly as she saw Ransik heading towards them. Anger was in her eyes, she still held a gorge against the monster mutant. She started to head towards him, drawling her blaster out. Trip and Wes, got a hold of her before she got any closer to him.

            "He's here to help Jen," said Trip, Jen looked to Trip seeing him nod his head. She then turned to Katie and Lucas they both shook their heads. She looked at Ransik who was in handcuff. Naderia stood next to Lucas.

            Ransik knew Jen had every right not to like him, he couldn't blame her. But, just maybe he could make things right between them. "Time Force ranger, we have a long and twisted history. I know it may be hard for you to understand, but I'm here to help. If you will just listen to me….."

            Cole, who was standing back by his friends, listened to the conversation very carefully. He was searching with his heart for the truth. He slowly walked over to Jen; he put his hand on her shoulder. Jen turned around looking the young red ranger in the eyes. "He's telling you the truth his words come for his heart," said Cole kindly. Jen turned her head looking back at Ransik, she put her head down. Ransik had done so many terrible things to her. He almost killed Alex, and even Wes, two people she cared very deeply for.

            "Okay, will listen to what he has to say," she said with anger and hurt in her voice.

            Night had fallen on the Animarium, the rangers all gather around to listen to Ransiks story. They could all tell this was very difficult for him, as if he blamed himself. Naderia his daughter sat right next to him, letting him know she was there for them.

            "It is my fault, for what the Mutorg are," he said finally. There was a moment of silence, Jen wouldn't take he eyes off of Ransik she had every reason to hold something against him. Wes put his hand on her shoulder; she turned her head briefly looking at him. Then she turned back to Ransik as he continued to tell his story.

            "Long before I dunned the days of my mask, hiding where ever I could feeling rejected by humans. Back then I was filled with so much hate and revenge for humans. I would find myself in a place forgotten by time, old runes of some type. It was there I found the Mutorgs, three statues" "What are you?"

            "We are orgs; humans imprisoned us here years ago. Release us, so we can have our revenge. We shall give you great power," said the org with seven horns.

            "If humans are your enemies then our mission is the same," said Ransik, as he gathered up his power to free them. The org sprites were released and then they surrounded around Ransik going through him like they were ghost. They copied his mutant DNA and left him with great powers, as they disappeared away. "They copied my mutant DNA, and then left me with the powers I have now,

There was silence, as if everyone was waiting for something to happen. Ransik stood up looking at all of them, and then his eyes fell on Jen. "I have done many horrible things, allow to make up for this one," said Ransik. All eyes were on Jen, she was the main one in charge. Slowly Jen got to her feet, and began to walk over to Ransik.

            She took a deep breath; this was one of the hardest things she ever had to do. "No matter how much we want to, we can't change the past," she put her head down so much has happened. In way she had Ransik to thank for meeting Wes, but that was a complicated situation. "But, we can work for a better future," said Jen looking at Ransik, in a forgiving way. She pulled a small controller from her belt and used it to release Ransik from the hand cuffs. For a moment the two once enemies looked each other in the eyes, all most as they were friends. But they both knew, it would be a long road before that would happen. Ransik put out his hand, and looked Jen in the eyes he gave her a genuine smile. Jen put out her hand and shook it, hoping she made the right choice.

            An hour later, everyone pretty much had settle in for the night. Wes was walking around checking on everyone making sure they were alright. Everyone was sound asleep, except for Eric, Taylor, Jen, Princess Shayla and him. He saw Jen sitting over by the fire with a blanket around her. He was beginning to walk over to her when Princes Shayla passed him. "Thank you, for your help," he said kindly. The Princess smiled back at him, and then handed on her way. Wes then made his way over to Jen.

            "You want to go for a walk?" asked Wes holding out his hand to her. Jen looked up and smiled, she put her hand in his. Wes helped her to her feet. For a moment the two just looked each other in the eyes smiling, and then they began to walk off together hand in hand.

            Eric watched as the two walked together hand in hand, he smiled to himself. He knew how hard it had been on Wes when Jen left, and although Wes never admitted it. He knew Wes missed very much, and would do anything to be with her. "So what's their story?" asked Taylor as she walked over to Eric, she had seen Wes and Jen take off. Eric turned to her, giving a faint smile.

            "They love each other," he said softly, and then he went back to work on shining up his defender gun.

            "But, isn't she from the…"

            "Yeah," said Eric softly, they were two people who fell in love. Only to have it doomed because they were from two different times. Taylor shied as she took a seat right next to Eric.

            "That must be hard, not to be able to be with the one you love," she said sadly. Eric didn't look up, he wasn't the emotional type. He continued about his work, not wanting to think about it. But he found himself saying these words.

            "I imagine it would," he said softly, as he continued to clean his gun. Taylor looked at him all she ever saw him do was work.

            "Do, you ever stop working," she asked with a smile. Eric looked up at her, part of him wanted her to leave. But then something changes in him, almost as he liked having her near him.

            "Nope," he said, giving a smile back. Taylor just shook her head, in some way he reminded her of herself.

            "Can I see that?" asked Taylor looking at the defender gun. Eric turned his head looking at Taylor. He wasn't sure what it was he was feeling. Other times if someone would ask to see his defended gun, he tell them to take a hike. But with Taylor it was different, as of why he wasn't sure yet.

            "Sure, this is the quantum defender. A one of a kind," he said as he handed it over to her. Taylor began to look over the gun, to get a feel of it. And for some reason Eric found himself getting protective whether it was for the gun or her he didn't know. "Now, be careful with that. It's not a toy you know," he said, putting his hands over her. Taylor looked at him, laughing softly as lightly pushed his hand off of her.

            "Hey, I was in the Air Force. I bet I could teach you a thing or two about this," she said, smiling. Eric smiled back, he couldn't quite explain it but there was something about her.

            Wes and Jen walked side by side each other, under the night stars of the Animarium. They were silent for a long period of time, as if they wanted to avoid the whole conversation. Wes was still down that Jen hadn't contacted him, part of him was angry with her. "Jen, you should have contacted me…."Jen turned facing him with sadness in her eyes. "I mean you could have been killed. You can't just go after guys like those on your own," he said upsettingly. Jen looked at him, with a part of anger. Thinking to herself, where can he go off telling me what I can and can't do? It's not like he owns me.

            "You're staring to sound like Alex," she yelled at him.

            "Good, at least one of us is," said Wes almost acting like a child. Jen just glared at him she couldn't believe Wes, she shook her head.

            "Look, you think it's been easy for me…Of course I wanted to contact you, that's all I ever wanted to do sense I got here," she said with anger and hurt in her voice.

            "Then why didn't you?," he shook his head angrily. "You think it's been easy for me! I had to watch you walk out of my life, wondering how I was going to survive without yoy. And I prayed every day hopping I would see you again" anger and hurt were in his words. He could feel the tears rush down his face; he closed his eyes trying to pull back the tears. He opened his eyes, to see tears in Jen's eyes.

            "Me too, I'm so sorry Wes. I never meant to hurt you, it was just hard," the tears sparkled in Jen's eyes. "I didn't know what to do, but believe me I wanted too…,' Jen put her head down letting the tears fall from her face.

"I'm sorry Jen…I.I ….I don't want to fight….not with you," he said sadly feeling ashamed he turned his back to her, and he dropped to the ground. The emotions began to take over him.

            "I don't want to fight either," she said softly, as she walked over to sit down next to him. There was so much hurt in the both of them. They didn't know how to handle it. What to say or do to make things better. Wes turned his head looking into her face; the moonlight was shining down on them. He smiled lightly, she was so beautiful. Tears were in both of their eyes. Wes reached out his hand to whip away her tears. Jen smiled back, she put her hand over his holding it close to her face. And in that moment Wes felt himself drawling to her, he slowly leaned in as they shared their first kiss. It only lasted seconds, but if was more than they could ever ask for.

            "I love you Jen," said Wes softly as he put his arms around her, wanting to hold her for as long as he could, forever if possible.

            "I love you too, Wes," said Jen as she rested her head on his chest. And in that moment, they knew for now this was just enough. Just to see each other again and hold each other, even if it would have to end. Both knew they would never forget this night; they would store it away with their other memories of each other. For the rest of the night the two just stayed there in each others arms, praying it could last forever.
