Disclaimer: I don't own the Power Rangers, or the settings where they have
taken place. They are owned by Saban. I don't wish to get sued. The names
of the children and also Cristina are mine.
Setting: Between 1997-2060
F.Y.I: You are going to have to use your imagination a bit. In this story I have it so all the Rangers, new and old know each other for the most part. There are many flashbacks throughout this story also. ________________________________________________________________
The next one I stop at is Jason's and Katherine's. Jason and I were always good friends through everything, but that was because we had the bond of the red ranger. He chose me to take on his powers once he left. I remember the night before he left. I was having some major doubts of taking on such a position, so I decided to talk to him about it.
"Hey Rocky, you called?" He asks me.
"Yeah, I did. Sorry it's so late, I know you are leaving tomorrow." I start but am cut off.
"It's not a problem." He says smiling. "It's never too late to talk to a friend." He sits down across from me, his hands clasped together looking over the lake.
"Jason, I had a question." I say to him.
"Ok, shoot." He says.
"Why me?" I asked. "Why did you choose me to be the Red Ranger."
"Because Rocky, you will be a great ranger." He says.
"I don't get it though Jase. You hardly know me!" I say. "Why would you trust me to defend the entire world? You know I am not always the most serious person!"
"Yeah, but you are when you have to be, and that's what counts." He says. "Rocky, I picked you because you are a great guy. You are a strong fighter. You use your head when you have to, and you are quick on your feet. You're also a great person. You make everyone laugh, and you are a great friend. You listen to them when they need you." He tells me.
"I am just having some major doubts of taking over the powers." I say to him. "I don't think I am cut out for it."
"I felt the exact same way, but you know what, after the very first battle you know differently. I was scared of being the leader of the Power Rangers, but you know something, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. It is exciting battling Rita and her monsters, but it is also nerve-racking because the entire world's fait rests on your shoulders." He says to me.
"But what if I am not cut out to be a ranger." I ask him.
"You are Rocky. Believe me. I wouldn't have chosen you if you weren't cut out to be one. I knew from the first time I met you that you were going to be one, and I have all the faith in the world that you will do great. You will have to learn to use the powers correctly, but that comes in time. Trust me, the second you are out there you will know that everything will be fine. You, Adam and Aisha are all going to be awesome rangers."
"Thanks Jason. I hope your right!" I say.
"Of course I am! I'm always right, ask everyone else!" He smirks.
"I'm sure." I roll my eyes at him. Just then I hear the familiar 6 toned calling me to the Command Center.
"Its show time Bro. Good luck! And remember, if you need anything I am only a phone call away. Remember, trust the powers and trust the others and you will do fine!" He says.
"Thanks again Jason." I say as I teleport up to begin my very first battle.
He and I called each other a few times just to see how everything was going, and to even get some tips on being a ranger. I was glad to have a friend like him during that time.
Jason died on March 1 2052. Kat called me to let me know the news. He died in his sleep at the age of 72. He was buried on the 5th of March, and it was a really crummy day. It rained the entire time. Katherine came to except the fact that her husband died very quickly, but sometimes I feel it was just an act she put on. That girl could fool you at the drop of a hat when it came to how she was feeling. Once she put on her "game" face, as Tommy and I had called it, it was very hard to tell how she felt. She used it during all her friends and families deaths. I asked her once why she didn't let her emotions out and she said told me that once she did, she wouldn't be able to stop them. When you looked in her eyes after Jason died, they were never just quite as blue.
Strangely, Katherine passed away only a short 4 months later, exactly 4 months later. She died on the 1st of July also in her sleep. I remember when Katherine first came to Angle Grove. I thought she was the most beautiful girl I have ever met, besides Kim of course. I had the biggest crush on her, but was always too afraid to tell her because she always had her eye on Tommy. It killed me to hear her talk about him. After Tommy, it was Jason. When she was with Jason, everything was perfect. I came to realize that from that point on I would not be a part of her life that way, and she became one of my best friends. She confided in me about practically everything and anything. She came up to me one day all excited.
"Rocky you aren't going to believe this!" She calls to me, walking in my open dorm door.
"What's up Kat?" I say looking up from my Law book.
"Just today, I realized how much Jason really means to me! Rocky I love him!" She says all excited. I just start laughing. "Why are you laughing???" She says a bit alarmed.
"Oh it's nothing Katherine." I say trying to stifle my laughter.
"No really!" She said in her Australian accent.
"Kat, I have known that you loved Jason forever. I just find it funny that you are just now admitting it to yourself!" I tell her smiling.
"You have not!" She says to me.
"Oh I have too. Trust me, I have seen the way you have looked at him since you first met him. I know you love him, and I also know that you are probably going to be engaged soon."
"Rocky, I hope so! I mean he is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me!" She says. "But I have to go! I have to meet Aisha for dinner. I'll talk to you later!" She says giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"Ok, talk to you later Kat." I say, and watch her walk out the door. I smile to myself and finish up my homework. Not more than a year later, Jason and Kat were engaged to be married, and I couldn't be happier for them.
She was buried on July 5th, but unlike Jason's funeral hers was bright and sunny. It was a beautiful warm summer day in Angle Grove; I just wished it wasn't a day that I had to burry my best friend.
I stand up once again, from my kneeling position and head over to the next set of graves.
