It was dusk out Wes was helping Eric over to the clock tower to help him bandage up his wounds. They were only a few feet away. "Were almost their," said Wes as he looks out ahead and sees the clock tower in plain sight. It was late out and both of them were tired, from walking and fighting off cycolbots for most of the day.
Eric didn't know why Wes was helping him, after everything he had done. He felt he didn't deserve to have any friends especially with Wes. But perhaps that didn't matter to Wes. Maybe Eric had judge Wes too much based on how, he had grown up having everything he could ever want? Just maybe Wes wasn't like most rich kids? Perhaps there was more to him. Unknown to them they were being followed by a cycolbot. The cycolbot watches as the two enter the clock tower.
Moments later Ransik, Nadira and an army of cycolbots all crowd around the clock tower. Ransik looks up laughing at the site. "So, this is their home," he laughs. He then looks at his daughter. "Watch sweetness your about to witness the destruction of the power rangers," laughs Ransik darkly. Nadira watches in fear as hundreds of cycolbots began to climb to walls of the clock tower. She felt fear and concern for the rangers, for their lives. She knew in her heart this was wrong, but she was terrified to go against her own father. So she remains silent watching with fear growing in her heart.
"There," said Wes as he finished bandaging up Eric's wounds and injuries. Eric stood up and pushes Wes out of the way and starts moving around, getting the blood moving in his veins. Wes looks over at Eric with concern "Eric you need to take it easy. The next time…." Eric cuts him off before he could finish.
"It doesn't matter how bad it is. I'll still have to fight," said Eric sternly. They were the only ranger left to fight, to protect Silver Hills. Wes nods his head sadly, Eric was right.
"Yeah," said Wes softly as he sighs. Wes walks over to a table and found photos he and his friends took a month ago. Wes smiles lightly as he looks at them, remembering the good time he had with them. Eric watches from behind Wes's shoulder. He knew Wes's thoughts were on his friends.
"Your friends, how do you know their okay?" asked Eric softly. Wes sighs as he puts the photos down. He turns his head looking behind his shoulder over at Eric. Wes's face was full of uncertainty. He didn't know, and he knew he probably never would. All he could do was hope they had made it back safely.
"I don't," said Wes softly. He could only hope and pray they were fine. Moments of silence fell upon the two. Then the windows broke open shattering glass on the floor. Wes and Eric look around and watch as the clock tower filled with cycolbots within just seconds. Wes and Eric look at each other nodding their heads both of them got into fighting stances.
Wes went at the ones to the right punching and kicking the cycolbots where ever he saw an opening. They were on all sides of him. Wes blocked as many hits as he could, but a few kicks and punches managed to hit him hard. Wes knew he didn't have time to stop and think about the pain he was feeling. He had to keep going, no mater what. He would fight to the very end. And from the looks of it, it looked to be very soon.
Eric wasn't doing much better and with his injures it was slowing him down. Eric would continue to get up and keep on fighting. Despite the fact his ribs were killing him, he was hungry and tired. No mater how many times he got kicked to the ground, for countless times. Eric would still get up and fight, to help Wes fend off the cycolbots. Eric mange's to take down to take down a few cycolbots. He kicked two at time by do a double kick. He then punches and flips on cycolbot over his shoulder. But every time they think they have finished them off more keep on coming. Where ever there was an opening in the clock tower the cycolbots, would come in each and everyone of them. There was no stopping them. Not when the odd were two to two hundred.
Wes got kicked hard in the gut and went flying across the room hitting some yellow cases. Wes winces from the pain he feels in his chest. Wes turns his head and sees that one of the cases came open. His eyes light up when he saw what was in it. The electric booster, "Electric booster," said Wes, gratefully. He quickly grabbed the gun and stood back up. "Let's see how you tin head fend against this," mocked Wes smiling. He began blasting all the cycolbot around destroying many of them, but no mater how many he took down more kept on coming. Wes made his way over to Eric who was back up against a wall with no way out. Cycolbots were crowding all around Eric. Eric was in a fighting stance getting ready to make his move. Wes went to Eric's aid and blasts all the cycolbot away that were around Eric. Eric watches as more cycolbots come jumping through the window, over and over again.
"Wes, we have to get out of here there's too many," yelled Eric knowing they didn't stand a chance against the army of cycolbots. Wes knew Eric was right. But how? Wes looked up and saw the bell hanging, suddenly and idea came to him.
"I think I have an idea," said Wes as he began to set the self destruct on the electric booster gun. Eric looked up at the bell and had an idea as to what Wes's plan was. Wes tosses the weapon at the cycolbot. He then locks his arm with Eric. "Now you need my help?" asked Wes smartly. Eric gave a smile he grabs his gun as Wes holds on tightly to the rope that holds the bell up.
"Going up!" said Eric as he shot at the rope cutting it in two. Wes and Eric were lifted up in the air just as the self destruct went off. The clock of the clock tower broke open going into little glass pieces. Fire and smoke emerges all around the clock tower, filling with hot smoky steam. Both Wes and Eric call upon their ranger powers just as they made it out. They then call for the time eagle where they both jumped into the flying vehicle and flew out of sight as the clock tower burnt into pieces, crumbling to the ground.
Ransik watches as a number of his army was destroyed. He glares at the destructed clock tower angrily. "I will get you rangers! Even if I have to go down with you" yelled Ransik. Nadira grabs a hold of her father arms, trying to calm his anger down.
"Daddy isn't it enough? Their home is destroyed. Can't we go back now, we have more than will ever need," said Nadira not wanting to see any more destruction. Ransik looks at his daughter angrily. What is wrong with her? Does she not understand our whole reason of coming here was for?
"It will not be enough until every human is destroyed!" he yells loudly. Nadira sighs she didn't know how to stop her fathers hatred. It seems as though she would never be able to get through to him. She wondered how many more will have to die? Until her father sees what he is doing is wrong.
Couple of hours later it was late in the night. Wes and Eric were blocks away from the clock tower hiding in another alley. Wes watches sadly as the clock tower burns to the ground. That place had been his home, the place he had spent several months with his friends. Eric watches from behind Wes, sighing. Knowing Wes was hurt by what happened. "You going to be okay?" asked Eric breaking the silence. Wes slowly turns around looking over at Eric who was resting on the ground.
"Yeah, I guess. I'm not too sure," said Wes as he slumps down to the ground resting his back against the wall. Eric nods his head. There are seconds of silence that pass by.
"So did you ever tell Jen?" said Eric. Wes looks at Eric surprised and confused then he turns his head away.
"What do you mean?" asks Wes lying beneath his words. Eric just shook his head.
"You don't fool me, Collins. I've seen the way you look at her. You love her don't you?" said Eric knowing he was right. On several occasions he had seen the way those two look at each other.
"What's the point? She's with Alex, their going to get married. Besides she's just a friend," said Wes softly. It still hurt to know he would have never stood a chance with Jen. Maybe if Alex was still dead he would have, but he saw the look on her face when she saw that he hadn't died. He knew then Jen still and would always love Alex. Not him not ever, at least not the way he loves her.
"Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that," said Eric softly, knowing that Wes was only lying to himself. A few moments later Eric drifts off to sleep. Wes looks over at Eric and smiles lightly. Eric wasn't such a tough guy as he pretends to be when he's sleeping. Wes turns his attention back over to the clock tower. He sighs as he pulls an envelope out of his jacket. The name Alex was written on it. Wes looks up at the moon sighing. Wondering if Jen and the others were safe? If they were thinking about him, like he was thinking about them. But mainly he was only thinking about Jen. The time they spent together, the good and bad, even their silly arguments. Wes tucks the letter safely back in his jacket for safe keeping.
"I hope your okay Jen," said Wes softly as he watches the bright moon. Soon he fell asleep too. He knew the biggest battle of his life may just lies ahead, and he would need his strength.
The others had fallen asleep a few hours ago. Jen was still up looking out the window watching the moon. She had cried all her tears out. No more would come out even if she tried. "I should of told you before Wes, maybe then none of this would of ever happened," said Jen sadly as she felt sleep come over her.
