Jason and the others had been battling none stop. Fire, smoke and a few destroyed CellBorgs bodies lay around the city. More CellBorgs kept on coming though, their new blasters seemed to be helping a bit, but it was not enough to destroy them all. They needed something more powerful to finish off the rest of the CellBorgs. Jason went up to one of them and kicked him in the shoulder the CellBorg went down. Jason saw his chance he blasted at the CellBorg, but the machine was ready for him. Reflected Jason blast right back at him hitting him square in the chest. Jason went flying back a few feet. Zach and Adam ran to his aid, both of them helped lift their leader back to his feet.
"You okay man?" asked Zack. Jason took a deep breath; the blast had only stunned him.
"Yeah," he said. The other ranger joined their friends knowing they were the strongest when they we together. The CellBorgs seemed to crowd around them laughing, the rangers knew they were out numbered immensely.
"So Jas, what's the plan?" asked Rocky, his blaster was aimed in the air. The light was shining out; it was holding back a few of the CellBorgs from approaching any closer. The other rangers were doing the same, but they knew they could only do this for so long. Jason looked around the CellBorgs were everywhere around them there was no way or no escape. This was it. This was going to be the last battle, and either way someone would die.
"Keep doing what we've been doing. Tommy will come through for us, just hang in there guys," said Jason knowing in his heart that was all they could do. The others looked around at the mighty monster machines wishing their was another was to defeat them, but they knew if their was they would of already thought of it. They had done their part the rest was up to Tommy.
Zach got into a fighting position blaster ready in his hands. He could feel his heart pounding with fear, pain and hope. 'This one is for you Tommy.' Memories from his high school days filled his mind, the happy times with his friendship with Tommy and then the painful goodbye.
Rocky stood firm holding his ground down, he moved his eyes around looking into the red glowing eyes of the CellBorgs. Anger and rage he felt flowing around them, because of these machines Tommy had to sacrifice his life to save them all. 'I'll make these guys pay Tommy. Your sacrifice will not go unjust' Memories filled his mind when he first meant Tommy came into his mind, how their friendship grew and then the last memory was the long and hard goodbye.
Tonya stood tall and strong her weapon was ready. She watched as the CellBorgs grew closer their laughter sickened her. 'You're the real hero in this Tommy, I will never forget you'. Memories flashed through her mind of the kindness Tommy shown her when she first became a power ranger. A tear fell from her eyes under her helmet when she remembered how it was like to say goodbye to her good friend.
Adam felt like his whole world was upside down. He remembered battles from years ago could not compare to this one. 'I promise I won't let you down Tommy' Adam held his blaster firmly in his hands. He could fell his hands shaking from the strain of holding so tightly. Memories flashed through his mind of Tommy and him, a friendship he would never forget.
Kat was silent she had her blaster raised high, she was ready to shoot at any moment. Anger was in her heart, anger that this was happening, angry with Zordon because he never told them. Angry that by day after today Tommy would no longer be in their lives. 'I will never forget you Tommy, I love you' She saw her vision begins to blur from her tears. Memories flashed in her mind of the times when she and Tommy were together, and then the memory of when she let him go back to his true love. She never regretted it for a moment.
Jason looked around seeing his friends were ready. He took a deep breath the CellBorgs were surrounding them. The time was now. 'Goodbye my old friend, I promise I will not let you down' Memories flashed through his mind of the growing friendship with Tommy. They were almost like brothers inseparable, but now they would be separated. The six rangers began to shoot blast after blast over and over.
Rocks and large pieces of concrete lay everywhere, the way out of the barracks was blocked. Katie struggles as she lifts large pieces of concrete off of her friends. Trip lay still for a moment, his face was covered with dirt. He had a large cut on to side of his head; blood was dripping down his face. Katie's heart began to beat. She shacks Trip lightly not wanting to hurt him. "Trip, can you hear me? Trip" she repeated a few time over. What seemed like forever there was no sound; Katie started to fear for the worst. "No, please…." Katie cried she could not lose her friend.
"Ah….Katie…." Trip slowly opened his eyes. Everything was blurring at first and his head hurt like her had been hit with a club or something.
"Trip," said Katie staring down at his, face.
"Wha….what happened," asked Trip starting to get up. He was having trouble, Katie quickly got to his side helping him sit up slowly. She knew there was a chance he could have a concussion. Trip began looking around; there was rubble everywhere he looked blocking every direction. He saw no one else but Katie, he knew either the others were dead or they were trapped just like they were.
"Don't you remember, you tried to warn us about the explosion but…."
"It was too late," said Trip sadly, he began blaming himself. Maybe if he'd been quicker or faster he could have prevented this? Then maybe the others would still be with them. "This is my fault, I should have….." cried Trip. Katie grabbed a hold of her friend staring him in the eyes.
"Trip this is not your fault will find a way out of this and will find the others," said Katie being very firm.
Eric and Taylor and a number of the Silver Guardians had made it safely out of the barracks. No one was hurt too badly; most of them were still able to move on their own. The Cellborgs that had attack had gotten destroyed by their own fire power. For the last hour or so Eric and the others had been trying to move the rocks and rubble so they could get their friends out. But the rocks were too heavy, and they were all tired and needed to rest. Eric watched as he men struggled, they were moving slow. They weren't going to give up no mater how tired they were. Eric took a deep breath as much as he hated it.
"Guys, let's stop for no. We may need to conserve our energy if more CellBorgs come back," said Eric. Eric walked a couple of feet away from his battle, he was concerned for the others that were still underground. He didn't know if they were, hurt, dead or if they would even be able to rescue them. Eric knew he wouldn't never be able to forgive himself if Mr. Collins died down their. He dropped to the ground putting his head down. Taylor slowly walked over to him and sat down next to him. She softly rubbed his back, letting him know it was alright. "This can't be happening, I've should of known," said Eric.
"Eric you can blame yourself, you had no way of knowing," said Taylor looking into his eyes. Eric held back his tears he would not cry.
"No, it is my job. I'm the commander I should have protected my team, the other, Mr. Collins. It should be me stuck down their not them," yelled Eric, he was angry with himself.
"No, you listen to me it is not your fault. Look around because of you we all got out unharmed, and will get the others out too," said Taylor being very firm with him. Eric didn't respond, he just took a deep breath shying. He wished it were that simple. Taylor hung close to Eric knowing that was what he wanted; he just would never admit it.
Jen and Wes were beginning to make their way back to where the barracks were; they were still a good miles away. Jen was still helping Wes, his leg was still a little sore but he was recovering.
"Hello there, I knew I find you," said a voice. Jen and Wes froze they slowly turned around and there was Sy-Kee, but he was different from what Wes remembered. His medal was more golden in color.
"Sy-Kee," said Wes in a stern voice. Sy-Kee began to laugh darkly.
"Yes, do you like my new look. It seems that robot we found at BIO-Lab came in handy. Now it is time for you two to die," he laughs darkly. Wes and Jen look at each other knowing this was not good.
"I don't think so," said Jen sternly as she grabbed the flash light from her pack, shining it right in Sy-Kee's eyes. Sy-Kee began to laugh loudly. Jen continued to try but the flash light didn't seem to work.
"What's going why isn't it working?" asked Wes in concern.
"I…I don't know," said Jen.
"Foolish humans, because of the technology I found you will need more then a mere flashlight to stop me," he laughs. Jen drops the flashlight to the ground it was no longer useful to her. "I promise to make your deaths as quick as possible," said Sy-Kee.
"Not if we can help it," said Wes pulling himself away from Jen. He walked a few steps forward limping on his leg.
"Wes, your injured," said Jen with concern.
"Don't worry I'll be okay. Now it Time force, time force," yelled Wes morphing in the red ranger. Jen followed his lead morphing into the pink ranger.
"Are you ready," asked Xantara looking into Tommy's eyes. Tommy softly nodded his head it was time. He began walking forward away from Billy but then he stopped and turned around. He looked Billy in the eyes, seeing the hurt and pain in his old friend.
"You can't do this Tommy it isn't fair," said Billy softly. Tommy took a big gulp in, trying to be so brave.
"I have to Billy; if I don't they will all die. I can feel them drifting away it won't be long," Billy looked into Tommy's eyes and saw something he hadn't seen before. There was flash of pain in Tommy's eyes seeming to grow with every passing second. Xantara walked up behind Tommy placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Yes, I am afraid in a way you are connected to their very pains. The ones you feel dieing, are dieing, and they will die if you do not complete this task," said Xantara. Tommy shied he had to do this for them, for his friends.
"Billy please don't ever blame yourself for this, you did what you had to do. Now I need you to let me do what I need to do," said Tommy softly. Billy walked up to his old friend; he then hugged him wishing he could change all that was happening.
"I'm really going to miss you. I just wish there was another way," said Billy sadly. Tommy smiled lightly back he wished too. Tommy then backed away from his old friend before turning around. Billy watched as Xantara and Tommy disappear from his very eyes. Billy looked up to the sky tears fell from his eyes.
