The Silver Guardians came rushing to the scene hundreds of cycolbots were all over the city terrorizing the citizen's. Frax was using Doom Tron to destroy the city, blasting at buildings and anything else that got in its way. The Guardian trucks came to a full stop. A team of Silver Guardians jumped out of each truck along with Eric.
"Go and protect those people. HURRY!" yelled Eric loudly. Eric looked up at the mighty robot. He knew this wasn't good. This was bad, very bad. Eric raised his morpher up to his mouth watching as Doom Tron blasted a buildings and cars. Explosions were happening all over the place. "Quantum power!" he yelled. Eric transformed into his quantum ranger powers. He then called fourth his Q-Rex, his powerful zord. The Q-Rex came running as the mighty zord was called into action.
"Alright, let's take this piece of junk down Q-Rex," said Eric as he powered up his zord gathering its energy. He then blasted at the mighty robot. Doom Tron penetrated the blast and blasted right back at the Q-Rex. The Q-Rex took a hard hit but remained unharmed. Eric knew it was going to very a very difficult battle to win.
Back at the time ship the rangers had pretty much everything packed away. They knew at any moment the battle could begin. They just didn't know when that would be. "Oh no" cried Circuit. Everyone turned looking at their owl friend. Their hearts were racing. This had to be it.
"What is it Circuit?" asked Trip concerned knowing it had to be bad if Circuit was concerned. Circuit eyes flashed open and shut. His wings flapped up and down.
"Doom Tron is attacking the city!" he cried. Jen took a deep breath. It was time. She looked at her teammates nodding her head. The battle Alex had warned them about had begun.
"Alright guys let move," she said promptly. Jen was the first to run out followed by the others. Circuit flew close behind them. Wes was just a few feet out the door, until he got this feeling in the pit of his stomach. He ran back over to where Trip had put the book away. He quickly took it out knowing it was only a matter of time before the others notices he wasn't right behind them. Wes set the book on the table and opened to the page about autopilot he quickly memorized every word and everything of how to set up the autopilot. He nodded his head, taking a deep breath. He could feel his heart pounding, full of fear and uncertainty.
'Seems easy enough' he thought as he read over the page.
The rangers were right in the heart of the city fully morphed ready for action. They watched as Doom Tron and the Q-Rex engaged into battle. The battle was fierce and mighty Eric stood only a few feet in front of them. Energy blasts were exchanged by each of the mighty weapons of good and evil. Blast after blast it looked like no one was winning or backing down. Both the Doom Tron and Q-Rex were very powerful fighting forces. A moment later the sky began to get darker as a hole in time began to open in the sky. Wes came running up behind them.
"Oh no this is bad" said Circuit sensing the time hole.
"What is it Circuit? What is that?" asked Wes concerned. What he saw in the sky was the same thing he had seen in his dream or nightmare as he called it. The five rangers plus Circuit all watch as the time hole sucked up a building. The sky then went back to its rightful color but the building that once stood there was gone. It looked just as though someone had erased it from a picture. You knew something was supposed to be there, but it no longer was.
"It's gone," said Lucas shocked never had he ever been faced with anything like this. He was almost shaking in his boots.
"It was a time hole. Their caused by the intense energy from the tryziruim crystals that power up both Doom Tron and the Q-Rex, and more will come unless we stop them," said Circuit. Katie turned looking at her robot friend.
"So you're saying the Q-Rex is only making things worse?" asked Katie. She prayed and she hoped it wasn't true. But some how she knew it was. The Q-Rex what could be their only chance at stopping this thing was part of the problem.
"Yes that's exactly what I mean," said Circuit. Wes nodded his head and the others followed behind him as they all walked up behind Eric. Eric was getting ready to power up some more. When, Wes grabbed a hold of his arm forcing Eric to look at him.
"What's the big idea Wes?" asked Eric angrily. Why was Wes interrupting him when the city was in danger? Wes knew he had to be very clear and direct about this to get through to Eric.
"Eric you have to call back the Q-Rex," said Wes trying to be as calm as he could. Eric pushed Wes aside. He thought Wes was nuts, he knew the Q-Rex was the only thing powerful enough that could stop Doom Tron.
"What? You must be crazy if you think I'm going to let the city be destroyed," yelled Eric loudly. Wes took a deep breath. He had to get through to Eric it may be the only way to save his friends, without having to go with the other option. An option he wasn't sure he could pull off.
"You need to listen to me Eric. The crystals that power the Q-Rex are causing time holes to open in the sky," said Wes. Eric looked as though at first he didn't believe the red ranger until the sky began to darken again. Everyone looked up to the sky as another time hole appeared this time sucking up cars along with more buildings.
"WHAT?" said Eric in disbelief? This just wasn't possible. Eric turned looking at the rangers as the time hole disappeared and the sky went back to normal. "Then tell me, without the Q-Rex. How are we supposed to win?" asked Eric knowing very well they wouldn't have an answer. The rangers looked at each other not saying a word.
"I don't know Eric," said Circuit softly. Then out of no where Doom Tron blasted at the six of them. Eric jumped out of harms way. But as for the other rangers they all took a hard hit and fell to the ground unmorphed. Eric walked over to them, checking over them briefly making sure they were all okay. He looked over at Doom Tron and then back at the rangers.
"Until you have a better solution the Q-Rex is the only hope for the city!" yells Eric being very stern. He then went running straight forward and jumped on top of the Q-Rex powering up all the way. He needed to destroy Doom Tron before more people got hurt, before more of those time hole come back.
The ranger slowly got to their feet watching as Eric went into battle. They knew his heart was in the right place, but as for his head he was too stubborn to take into reason. More time holes began to open in the sky. Wes could feel his fear growing. His nightmare was starting to become a reality. He knew what he had to do, and he knew his friends wouldn't like it. "I have an idea," they all turned looking at him with hope. "We can use the time ship," said Wes praying they wouldn't catch on to his plan. They all looked at each other clueless. What could the time ship do?
"How?" Jen asked confused. Wes took a deep breath trying to make little eye contact with anyone, but mainly Jen. He knew it would be very hard to pull this off if he looked her directly in the eyes for a long period of time. It would be too hard for him to do. But he just couldn't let anything bad happen, not to them, not to her.
"Come on I'll show you," said Wes quickly. He then turned around and started running back to the time ship as fast as he could. The others followed quickly behind him. Unaware of what he truly intended to use the time ship for.
Wes was the first one in the time ship. When the others walked in along with Circuit they found Wes at the control panel. He was working fast setting something up. They all stopped dead in their tracks watching and wondering. What it was they could the time ship as? Jen walked up to him. Wondering what his plan was. "Wes, how do you know what that does? Even I don't know what that does," asked Jen confused. Wes heard what she said but ignored her. The others all stood around looking at each other wondering. What was going on? Wes pushed one more button. That was it. It was done. All he had left to do was pulling the card key out. "Wes?" asked Jen wondering why he hadn't answered her. Wes looked up at Jen blankly his lips were quivering with fear and sadness. His hand was slowly reaching for the card key that was in the panel. He couldn't bear to look her in the eyes. He slowly began backing away from her, backing right into the exit of the time ship.
Everyone looked at him questioningly. What was he doing? "What's going on Wes?" asked Lucas who was standing next to Trip and Katie, both of them had questioning looks on their faces. Jen walked up closer to Wes. Wes was only inches away from the exit door. Jen place her hand on his shoulder. Wes looks her in the eyes again but said nothing.
"Wes what's the plane?" asked Jen being very firm with him. Then there was a beeping noise. Jen turned her head around along with the others to see what it was all about. They saw a number count down appear on the screen, they heard the engines began to start. By the time they figured out what was going on, they turned around to watch as Wes walked out the door and have it slide shut.
"WES!" they all yelled. Jen was the first to start banging on the door.
"Wes what are you doing? Let us out! Come on," cried Jen as she and the others continued to bang on the door. But it wouldn't open. There was nothing they could do.
"Launch to begin in 60 seconds," said the computer. It was unless the door would not open. They all ran over to the dome window where they saw Wes standing outside on the sand.
Jen pressed her hands on the window. "WES!" she cried. Tears were falling down her cheeks. The others were in the same state as she was but not as much. They were concerned for Wes because he was their friend. But to Jen Wes was something else.
Wes raised his morpher up to his mouth. "You have to go back to your time. You'll be safe there. Trust me," said Wes softly. Oh it hurt him to do this, but it was the only way to make sure they would be safe.
"But were a team!" cried out Katie, pressing her hands against the window.
"I feel like this is my home," cried Trip softly as he looks right at Wes. It pained Wes to see his friends in the condition they were. He could see the hurt and betrayal in their eyes. But Wes felt like this was the right thing to do, no matter how bad it hurt.
"No! That's not possible," said Wes being very direct with Trip.
"Why?" cried Trip, not understanding. He felt like so much that this place had become a home to him and the others.
"Because this is my time, not yours," said Wes softly. He knew he shouldn't have done it, but he just couldn't let anything bad happen to them. He couldn't let Jen die; he knew he would never be able to forgive himself if something happened to her or to any of them.
Lucas took a deep breath, shaking his head no. This can't be happening? They couldn't leave Wes alone. "But Wes you could die," said Lucas sadly. Jen winces her eyes, her heart is breaking into a thousands pieces. She knew Lucas's very words would be Wes's fate. Wes bit his lips he knew that was a very strong possibility.
"Maybe, but I wont stop fighting until I've taken my last breath," said Wes being very brave about the whole thing. Jen shook her head no. She found her dream coming true right before her teary eyes.
"NO. I'm not leaving!" yelled Katie as she slammed her hands against the window. But she couldn't break through it, even with her super strength. Jen shook her head again. She turned and ran to the control panned. She needed to stop it. Jen began pushing random buttons but it didn't stop anything. The numbers continued to count down. Jen could feel the second pass right by her. Time was running out.
"Please, stop," tears ran down her cheek. She continued to try over and over but it never worked. "NO!" she slammed her hand at the panel and ran back over to the window. She knew there was no stopping it, in just seconds the time ship would leave this time. All she could do now was tell him how much she loves him. "Wes, I want to tell you something," she cried. Wes cut her off before she continued.
"Don't worry Jen. Everything you always wanted is waiting for you in the future," said Wes sadly. He could feel his heart breaking he wanted so much to tell her he loves her with all his heart. That he would do anything in his power to protect her, but he knew the only person that could do that was waiting for her in the future.
Jen shook her head no. He didn't understand what she was trying to tell him. It wasn't Alex who she wanted it was him. "No, Wes please…" she cried. Lucas put his arm around Jen knowing she was hurting badly.
Wes looked up the time hole was beginning to appear. "The time hole is opening," said Wes. Tears fell from Jen's eyes running down her cheeks as she looked out at Wes. Time was running out she needed to tell Wes the truth about how she felt. Who it was that was in her heart? Wes took a deep breath as he looked at all of his friends capturing each of them in his mind, to take with him. Something to remind himself just who it was he would be fighting for. Jen could feel the ship rumble, it was now or never.
"Wes I want you to know that I…………" her last words were cut off as the time ship began to lift up into the air. Jen watches as she and the other were taken farther and farther away from Wes. Wes stayed there until the time ship was out of sight. He put his head down sighing. She would never know how he felt about her, but that didn't matter anymore. She was going back to Alex. To the man he knew she loves with all her heart.
