I would like to thank Cmar who helped fix the errors for me. Thanks again.
Mr. Collins had gone out on a drive checking on his Silver Guardians and trying to find his son. He looked out the window seeing the destruction that Doom Tron and the cyclobots had created. Fire burning almost everywhere, and smoke was just about everywhere he looked. He watched as the Guardians aided people that had been hurt and were giving them medical attention. Mr. Collins sighed as he saw no sign of Wes or the other rangers. And he had learned late last night that Eric never returned back to the base. He knew this was not good. Something terrible must have happened. He just hoped he wasn't too late. The driver continued to drive around the city. Collins' eyes lit up when they neared the clock tower or what was left of it. "Stop right here!" Collins yelled. He quickly opened the door and got out.
Collins felt his worst fear coming true as he looked at the remains of the clock tower. It had crumbled to the ground; there would have been no way for anyone to survive that. "No God, please no," said Collins as he ran to the rubble of the clock tower remains. Collins eagerly began lifting up large pieces of rock. Philips, the driver, got out of the car and watched as Collins put all he had into lifting up the large pieces of rocks. "Come on Wes, you have to be here somewhere. Please," cried Collins feeling himself about to break down. Philips sighed as he watched Collins drop to the ground out of exhaustion. The good old butler walked over to his boss. He placed his hand on Collins shoulder. Collins turned his head looking up at his old friend. Philips could see fear in Collins eyes; fear that his son was gone forever.
"I am sure he got out before it collapsed, sir," said Philips kindly. Philips hoped and prayed he was right, he knew Mr. Collins would never be able to forgive himself if something happened to Wes. Collins sighed and nodded his head. Slowly he got back up to his feet, the two then start to make their way back to the car, when six cyclobots start approaching the two, getting ready to attack. The two men froze, knowing they had no way out any sudden movements could be the end for both of them. It looked really bad for them until two red rangers came running into the picture.
Collins and Philips watched as the two rangers fended off the cyclobots within just seconds. With the help of their weapons all the cyclobots went down, with a few quick blows. The two rangers faced the two men.
"Power down!" both of them said at the same time. The two unmorphed, revealing two young men, two young men who looked like they hadn't slept or eaten anything in hours. Collins was relieved to see his son alive and well and the same for Eric. Even though both of them looked terrible, their cloths were partly torn and both of them had battle wounds all over their bodies. But they were alive and that's all that mattered.
"Wes, Eric!" Collins yelled running over to the two. Philips followed slowly behind; he had a smile on his face. He was happy to see that Wes was okay. Wes looked at his dad wondering, what he's doing here?
"Dad, what are you doing here?" asked Wes. Wes would have thought his dad would be lying low at the house or at Bio-lab. It seemed very unlike him to be wondering around, especially with a major attack going on.
"I was looking for you, son." Wes looked a little surprised. "I'm sorry for pushing you to do things my way. I couldn't be prouder of you," Collins smiled as he and his son hugged each other. Philips smiled happy to see the two getting along. Eric seemed happy as well as he watched the two.
In the pile of cyclobots one slowly started to get up, aiming its blaster right at Wes. Eric turned around thinking he had heard something. That's when he saw it. "GET DOWN!" he yelled. Wes partly turned around and saw the cyclobot; he quickly shielded both his father and Philips. Eric jumped right in front of them shooting at the cyclolbot, but not before the cyclobot shot at Eric. The blast hit Eric hard sending shock waves around his body.
"Eric!" cried Wes as he and his father caught Eric before he fell. Eric had taken a hard hit. He was injured badly and in a lot of pain.
"I'm fine," said Eric, starting to get up, but his ribs hurt too much to get up. They hurt no matter how he moved.
"Eric, I'll handle it from here," said Wes, looking at Eric. Eric sighed; he knew he would be no good to Wes if he joined the battle. Eric knew he would only slow things down or make things worse.
"Alright, but you're going to need this." Eric then lifted his wrist up to his mouth. Wes couldn't believe what Eric was about to do, he never expected this to happen. "Unlock voice identification." Eric then handed Wes his morpher. "Here, take it, you're going to need all the help you can get. And if you get into trouble call the Q-Rex," said Eric, struggling through his words. His injured ribs were making it difficult to speak.
"But, Eric, the time holes," said Wes remembering the last time the Q-Rex was used. Eric took a deep breath.
"I know, but," Eric tensed up the pain was getting worse. "The Q-Rex may be the only thing that can stop Doom Tron, maybe there's a way to neutralize the crystals," said Eric. Wes seemed hesitant to take the morpher. Eric glared at him in the eyes.
"Alright, I'll use the Q-Rex but only if I can neutralize those crystals," said Wes, giving a brief smile to Eric. Wes then looked at his father and Philips.
They both could see the concern in Wes's eyes. "Don't worry, Philips and I will take care of him," Wes smiled, nodding his head. Collins then patted his son on the arm. "Go get them, son," said Collins proudly. Wes got up; he looked at the three briefly and started walking away from them. He only had taken a few steps until he stopped. Wes pulled the envelope with Alex's name out of his pocket. Below Alex's name the word's 'DO NOT OPEN UNTIL THE YEAR 3001' was written. Wes sighed as he looked at the envelope. Wes turned around walking over to his father; he held the envelope out to his father. Collins looked at his son, unsure of what this means.
"In case something……happens," Wes took a deep breath, this was hard and he wasn't sure how he should go about saying it. "I need you to give this letter to Uncle Mitch. The instructions are written on what to do with the letter," said Wes softly. He found it to be very difficult to look his father in the eyes.
"Wes, son, you're going to make it," said Collins trying his best to be strong.
Wes bit his lip. "Yeah of course." he laughed lightly trying his best to hide all of his fear.
"Look, I just need you to hang on to the letter for me," said Wes as he quickly placed the letter in his father's hand. Before his father or anyone could respond Wes hightailed it out of there, with one thought in mind. Will I ever see them again?
"Good luck, Master Wes," said Philips. They watched as the only ranger left went off to defend the city. Their only hope for survival lay in Wes's hands.
It was morning, the four time force officers were still in the room that Alex had left them in. Jen was still in her corner keeping to herself; she hadn't said a word to the others in quite a while. They all sighed as they looked at her, knowing who it was she was thinking about. The truth was they all were thinking about him. None of them wanted to forget the time they spent in the year 2001 but most of all they didn't want to forget Wes. Trip stepped forward looking for a chance of hope and answers from his leader.
"Jen, do we really have to get our memories erased? I kind of want to remember the year 2001," said Trip sadly. Jen sighed, putting her head down as she turned looking over at Trip. She didn't know what to say. She knew it was one of Time Force's top rules and normally she would always, always go by the book and go along with the rules and laws. But this time something had happened. She had fallen in love. She didn't want to forget the man who she was deeply in love with. The sliding doors opened; everyone turned around to see Alex staring at all of them.
"It's time," said Alex softly. The four all looked at each other. They had no choice but to do as he said.
Wes ran to the heart of the city, his morpher on his left wrist and Eric's morpher on his right. He looked at the large army of cyclobots; there must be hundreds and Doom Tron was not too far behind. Wes clenched his fist. This was it; it all came down to this. "Trip, Katie, Lucas…..Jen, I promise I will fight until my last breath," said Wes softly. Wes then ran right into the middle of it, yelling and crying out taking away any fear of death he felt.
Alex and other Time Force officers led the four into a room. They were all wearing some sort of headsets. The room was medium in size and had four booths in it. Trip, Katie and Lucas were lead by other officers to their booths. The three got in, knowing there was no way to get out of doing this, not unless by some chance a miracle could happen. Alex had led Jen to her booth. He slowly opened the door of the booth for her. Jen looked at him before stepping in, hoping by chance he wouldn't make them do this. Alex smiled at her briefly as he closed the booth door. He then went over to the panel and began setting things up.
Trip closed his eyes getting one last image of Wes in his head, his friend. "I wish I been there to fight with you, Wes," said Trip softly to himself.
Wes was taking a real beating. Cyclobots crowded around him, punching and kicking him hard on his shoulders. He cried out in pain, but kept on going.
Katie had her eyes closed as well, hoping for a miracle. "I'm sure you fought with courage right to the end," said Katie to herself.
Wes continued to fight off the cyclobots, punching and kicking as many as he could to the ground. But no matter how many he took out, more kept on going at him. Punching and kicking him harder at his face and to his side.
Lucas, like the others, had his eyes closed. "You saved the future, Wes. You're a real hero," said Lucas to himself.
One of the cyclobots kicked Wes hard in the gut sending him to the ground. Two cyclobots grabbed a hold of Wes, while a few cyclobots kicked and punched Wes in the face and gut. Wes cried out each time. His nose was bleeding and his lips were dark red. Wes then pulled away, once he saw his chance he morphed into the red ranger. The red ranger stared at the large army; he was ready for round two.
Jen eyes were closed but with small tears leaking out. Tears she had longed to cry out. Tears she needed to cry for the sadness that overcame her heart. Memories of the time she had spent with Wes came to her mind. His smiles, the way he laughed his jokes, his charm and when they came close to kissing.
"I don't care what this machine does to me. I'll never forget you, Wes. I'm just sad you'll never know how much you mean to me," she said sadly. She opened her eyes to find Alex looking at her.
"Ready to begin memory adaptation," the computer said. She watched as Alex's hand reached for the activation button. Her heart was beating fast, this was wrong. She had to do something. She needed, wanted to stop this from happening.
"NO!" yelled Jen. Alex jumped out of the way as Jen pushed open the door and stepped out; the others followed her lead not too long after. "I'm going back to help him," she yelled softly as she looked at Alex.
"We're going with you, Jen," said Lucas as he and the others stood behind Jen. Alex looked at Jen feeling a great fear overcome him.
"And don't try to stop us," stated Trip firmly as he looked at Alex.
"I don't want you to go. You could be killed," said Alex sadly. Jen could see the sadness in his eyes, he really did love her. More than she'd ever know. Jen sighed, she had to get through to him and the only way to do that would be by breaking his heart.
"Can't you see? We have to go back. How can we live our lives knowing that it cost Wes his?" cried Jen feeling the tears go down her cheeks. The others stayed silent, knowing this was something Jen had to do. Alex's eyes winced, trying to hold back his tears. He didn't want her to go back. He didn't want to lose her. He loved her too much to let anything bad happen to her.
"Jen….." he was cut off by Jen.
"I….I love him..," she cried. Alex's heart filled with pain when he heard those words and it hurt even more when she held out the ring he had given to her. Jen sighed, seeing the hurt and pain in his eyes, knowing she really hurt him. But he needed to know the truth, after everything he had done for her she owed him that much. Alex slowly took the ring from her hand. He then backed away, letting her and the others through. He knew now he had no reason to stop her or the others from going, nothing holding him back. He still was in love with her, but things had changed. He had changed and so had Jen, she was no longer in love with him. In a way they were no longer the same two people who they used to be. Jen and the others all walked past him.
Alex looked down at the ring. He could feel his eyes start to water. He took a deep breath, no matter how badly it hurt. He knew they were going to need all the help they could get. "Take the megazord and use jet mode. It's the only chance you may have to make it through the time hole," said Alex softly, feeling the soft tears roll down his cheek. They all turned around looking at him. Jen was the one he met eyes with.
"Thank you," she said softly. Alex said nothing but nodded his head. He watched as the four disappeared out of sight. Alex looked back at the ring, he sighed. He had hoped that it wasn't true when he read the letter Wes sent declaring his love for Jen. He hoped by some chance Jen didn't feel the same way. He knew now he was only fooling himself.
