Cam sat in his Samurai Chopper. He familiarized himself with the zord
that had lain dormant for nearly a year. 'Everything looks good from here.'
He punched a few buttons and pulled up a visual of the other zords- just in
case they needed them. Everything was working as it had before. He took off
in search of the others. His radar screen picked them up in the down town
area. 'Hold on guys- I'm on my way.' He thought to himself.
Hunter approached the creature first. It looked like Kapri, in a way- the hair was pink, but the body and face were severely deformed- almost a combination of metal and wires mixed with her own flesh.
"We meet again thunder boy," she sneered as she swiped at him with her long nails, sending him flying back towards the others. Shane caught him and helped him up.
"What's this I see? Seven little rangers all waiting to be destroyed. Where are you're friends? Too scared to fight me?" Kapri laughed. A green ray of energy struck her chest sending her stumbling back. Cam appeared in front of the others.
"You'll pay for that geek!" she screamed hurling fireballs at the group. They all flew into the air and landed hard. Jen stood up out of the rubble first.
"Remember me? I took care of you before, and I'm going to do it again!" she yelled rushing at her with her blaster in hand. Kapri ducked out of the way and sent hit Jen right into a wall. She lay there motionless.
"You're one of those Time Force losers, right?"
"Jen!" Wes called running over to her. "Jen, Jen wake up- please."
"Wes! Look out!" Taylor called as Kapri shot at him. Wes took a place next to his wife on the ground. Shane and Dustin charged at her with their swords, and dealt a blow to her shoulders. She picked them up and threw them away. Hunter and Cam took their shot, but were treated like all the others. Taylor and Eric stood there looking at their fallen friends.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Eric asked her. She nodded and stepped in front of him. He put his hands out in a cupped position and crouched down. Taylor placed her right foot on his palms and he lifted her up. Her wings spread out as she soared through the air towards the creature. She took out her sword and slashed her in the chest. She landed behind her.
"Eric now!" she shouted. Eric pulled out his quantum blaster and fired at the wound Taylor had created. Kapri cried out in pain.
"This isn't the end Rangers!" she shouted. In a flash of pink light she disappeared. Taylor and Eric helped Cam, Shane, Dustin, and Hunter up. Wes had regained consciousness and was cradling Jen in his arms.
"She's knocked out cold. I think she'll be alright though." He said pulling himself and his wife up. Eric went over and helped him.
"C'mon. We better get back to Ops." Cam said.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Katie and Lucas sat there silently. Another alert from the monitor brought them back.
"Trip? What's happening now?" Lucas asked.
"The line's changing again." He said trying to make sense of it all. "Oh crap." He said quietly.
"Trip- what do you mean 'oh crap?'" Katie asked impatiently.
"We have to stop them! We can't let them destroy her- not in 2004." Lucas and Katie gave each other confused looks.
"Okay- this is what I'm getting from the readings. Kapri can't be destroyed in 2004. That would change history. If they destroy her in 2004, that means that she can't be captured in 2029. Meaning that the Bradley's will never receive their powers and Time Force as we know it will be screwed up."
"Because Kapri was the first mutant captured." Lucas said.
"Exactly. And Kapri isn't the only creature the Bradley siblings are going to have to face. If they don't capture her like they are supposed to, they will be totally unaware of what's going to happen to them." Trip finished.
"So what do you suggest we do?" Lucas asked.
Katie spoke. "I think it's time we took matters into our own hands. We need to go back to 2004 and somehow get Kapri back to 2029 where the course of time will resume."
"I'll get the time ship ready. Katie, you need to call Jen and tell her what's going on. Trip, get all the equipment we need to place her back into the freezer once they capture her." Lucas said taking charge. "I'll meet you on the ship." With that, they all went to prepare to leave.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
"We have to help them!" Tori shouted heading for the door.
"Tori," Sensei said stopping her. "You know that you cannot leave. We must protect you and Blake no matter what happens." Blake looked at the screen and saw Hunter go down.
"Sensei please- we have to do something." He said moving over to his wife.
"I know you wish to help. I do as well, but this is not your battle to fight." They made there way over to the monitor and saw Kapri go, leaving the fallen rangers alone. They saw them all gather and then disappear. A few seconds later, seven battered and bruised figures landed on the black polished floor. They demorphed and groaned in pain. Blake went over to Hunter while Tori went to Wes and Eric, who were holding Jen.
"C'mon, we have a spare room in the back you can lay her down in," she said leading them down the hall. They laid her down. Wes stayed with her while Tori and Eric left to join the others.
"Uh, Eric- that thing on the table has been making a funky noise," Shane said pointing to the communications screen. He went over and pulled up a visual. "Katie? What's going on?" he asked.
"Eric? Where's Jen?"
"Nice to see you too- she's resting. We just had an encounter with Kapri."
"You didn't destroy her did you?" she asked terrified.
"No- not yet. Katie are you alright?"
"We're coming back to help you. I'm downloading our coordinates to your morpher. I'll explain later, just please meet us."
"Alright- I'll met you there. Meyers out," he said ending the transmission. The others stood around confused.
"So the other Time Force Rangers are coming now?" Hunter asked.
"Yea- although I'm not sure why." His morpher beeped. He pulled up the coordinates. "I have to go. They'll be here soon."
"I'm going too," Taylor chimed in.
"Us too. I mean you guys aren't exactly familiar with Blue Bay," Shane said pointing to himself and Dustin.
"Alright, but no screwing around." Eric said. They 'mock saluted' him and headed out.
"I must go and inform the students of what is happening. We will cancel classes until everything is safe." Sensei said as he left.
A few minutes later Wes came out with Jen beside him, hanging onto his arm. They sat down at the table and received a quick rundown of what had happened minutes earlier.
"Something serious must have happened for them to have to come back," Wes said. Jen was silent- thinking.
"Jen, you alright?" Cam asked.
"Huh? Yea, I'm fine. Just thinking." They all sat in silence around the wooden table for several minutes before footsteps were heard coming down the steps. Jen's face broke out into a smile as Katie entered the room. They met in a long overdue hug. Trip and Lucas followed and were greeted by Wes. Eric introduced Katie, Trip, and Lucas quickly to Cam, Tori, and Blake. They moved over to the table.
"I don't believe I've had the pleasure," Lucas said sitting down next to Tori, his million dollar smile blinding her.
"I'm Tori," she said extending her hand for him to shake. He took it and held it firmly. She just about had to pry it away from him. He heard a small cough coming from the other side of her. "And this is Blake," she said as he extended his hand to Lucas. "My husband." Blake shook his hand, hard. Lucas smiled nervously and pulled away. Blake looked at Tori smiling. She pushed him slightly, causing him to laugh softly and sneak an arm around her waist.
"Well, now that you guys are here," Jen began, "why don't you let us in on what's going on?"
Katie took a deep breath. "Uh- Trip why don't you take this one." The green haired guy stood up and explained how the course of time needs to return to normal, and how they could make that happen. To everyone's shock and amazement, Dustin was the one to explain it in terms they all could understand.
"So we have to get her back to the time she was originally captured, let the other rangers get her like they're supposed to, and then get back here before, like, the space time continuum gets all screwy?"
"Well- yea." Trip said amazed.
"Why are you all looking at me like I have three heads or something? It's really not hard to understand when you've seen "Back to the Future" like a million times." There was a slight pause, and then everyone burst out laughing.
"Alright, alright. So now we have to get her back to 2029, which means we need a time portal." Jen said.
"That's he other problem," Lucas said. "We need to harness an incredible amount of energy to form one- the equipment we brought isn't a strong as we thought."
"Taylor? What about the Princess? Doesn't she know of anything we could gather power from?" Eric asked.
Taylor shook her head. "Not that I know of. She said she would help us in any way she could, but I had a hard enough time convincing her to give me my growl phone back for this mission. I hate to ask her for anything else."
The others were out of ideas. Suddenly, Blake stood up. "The Power of Thunder." He said moving for the box in the center of the table. Hunter put his hand over the morpher that lay in it.
"Hold on- what do you mean?" he said.
"Think about it bro. If we combine all our powers, and I mean ALL of them- the zords, the weapons, the morphers, the bikes- we'd have enough power. Wouldn't we?" he said looking at cam.
"I don't know- I have to run a check on the thunder powers then see what we can do with the Time Force stuff." He rose and headed for the computer. Trip joined him. A few minutes later they turned back to face the group. "I think it'll work. But do you understand what you're doing? If you use all the energy from the thunder powers they will cease to exist once they're drained."
Hunter and Blake looked at each other. Hunter removed his hand. Blake grabbed his morpher and strapped it to his wrist.
"We'll do it," Hunter said. The others exchanged glances around the table. The computer alarm went off again.
"Alright guys- if we do this, how are we going to get her to enter it?" Shane asked.
"Me- use me as bait." Tori volunteered. Blake looked at her concerned.
"I won't let you do that." He said grabbing her arm.
"Hey- I'm letting you risk your ass to open the portal, so let me get her through it." He looked at her, admiring her fiery nature. The alarm went off again. Blake released her arm.
"Alright- let's go." Eric said. They all morphed and arrived on the scene, this time in the forest.
"Back for more eh? Oh I see you've brought you're little friends along." Kapri said firing at them. Cam, Trip, Tori, Blake, and Hunter rolled off to one side and began setting up the machine. Wes, Jen, Katie, Lucas, Shane, Dustin, Eric, and Taylor kept her busy.
"Okay guys- I've adjusted your morphers to power the portal opener. You have to concentrate or the portal will close. Wait until she falls through then you can close it." Cam said.
"And make sure not to close it until she's definitely through it," Trip added. The brothers nodded. They concentrated hard. Slowly, a light began to grow between the two devices Trip had installed. Cam and Trip returned to the battle. Tori watched as the others fought. She was waiting until the portal was opened- then she would lure Kapri into it.
Lucas charged at her. She grabbed his shoulders-
"Sorry, but you're not the blue boy I'm looking for!" she yelled as she tossed him aside. He landed and saw the portal almost completely open. They others rushed over to him. Wes saw the portal open fully.
"Now- where are they other blue rangers?" Kapri demanded.
"Looking for me?" Tori asked from behind her. Kapri whipped her head around.
"You! Where's your little boyfriend?"
"Actually he's my husband now- you want us? Come and get us!" Tori jumped over her and headed towards the portal. They other followed them. Tori stopped in front of the swirling wall of light. Kapri stopped and stared at her.
"What afraid to come and get me?" Tori mocked. Kapri's anger grew.
"You sound just like that stupid sister of mine." She said coldly. Dustin's head shot up. He was standing being Kapri with the others.
"You sound just like she did- right before I destroyed her!" she cried running at her. Dustin's fists shook.
'Marah.' he ran after Kapri with his lion hammer raised. "NO!" he cried as he connected with her. Kapri fell into Tori just before she could get out of the way, sending them both through the portal. Dustin was sucked in as well. Blake, seeing Tori fall lost his concentration and jumped in after her. Hunter was left to hold it open himself.
"Guys! Hurry! I can't hold it much longer!" The others ran through after their friends. Hunter finally succumbed to the power and let go. He was still in 2004, but his friends- his family were all gone- to 2029.
"Be careful guys," he whispered before collapsing on the ground.
Hunter approached the creature first. It looked like Kapri, in a way- the hair was pink, but the body and face were severely deformed- almost a combination of metal and wires mixed with her own flesh.
