The red ranger was fighting an army of cyclobots all on his own. No mater where he turned there were dozens and dozens all over north, south, east and west. There was no turning back now. The cyclobots blasted their weapon and kicked Wes to the ground. Frax and Doom Tron were doing damage of their own blasting down at the helpless lone red ranger. Wes cried out in pain as he fell to the ground. He struggled to get up, but he hurt all over it was amazing he hadn't demorphed, yet. One of the cyclobots kicked Wes in the gut. Wes yelled out.
"No, I won't quite," Wes struggled to get up grabbing his sword using it to push himself back up to his feet. Wes took a deep breath and slashed his sword at two of the cyclobots. The robots dropped to the ground. "Two down, a few hundred to go," said Wes looking around. He knew this was far from being over. He got into his fighting stance getting ready to fight off the rest when. The sky began to darken; a time hole opened in the sky and out came the megazord. "What?" said Wes in disbelief? He watched as the zord did a world wind around Doom Tron sending the powerful robot away from the battle to be dealt with later. Wes watched as the zord flew around shooting power energy blasts at the army of cyclobots. Within just minutes the army was destroyed, bits and pieces of the cyclobots parts lay all around. Four figures then teleported down on the ground all of them morphed. The red ranger stood shocked. "Power down," said Wes as he began to step forward.
He was unmorphed now, he looked pretty rough. His whole body was covered with red colored cuts and scratches. His cloths were all dirty covered with dust, smoke, and dry blood. Wes watched as the four ranger walked up to him.
"Power down," they all said at the same time. It was Jen, Lucas, Katie and Trip. They came back. The four looked all relieved to see Wes alive and well despite the fact he looked like someone used him as a punching bag.
"You guys you came back," said Wes softly. They all started walking up to him. Jen took the lead, and she stopped right in front of Wes. She looked Wes right in the eyes, her look was blank. Wes had no idea what she was thinking, with Jen it was always hard to tell. And before he could say anything his face meant with Jen's fist. Jen punched Wes so hard in the face that he lost his balance and dropped to the ground. Jen was some what surprised by what she had just done, it was until then she realized how angry she was with him for what he did.
The other three couldn't believe what Jen has just done that. "Ouch," said Lucas. He winced a little knowing that probably hurt.
"And they say I can punch hard," said Katie.
"That leave a mark," said Trip as he Lucas and Katie all walked up behind Jen.
Wes looked up at Jen as he rubbed his face where he had been punch. There was a very red mark right under his right eye. "Hey! What was that for," asked Wes staring at Jen as he stood up. Jen glared at Wes she was angry at him for sending them back, angrier then she thought she was.
"Don't you EVER pull a STUNT like that AGAIN," she yelled at him loudly. Wes sighed. How could he tell Jen the real reason of why he had sent them back? Heck if he did tell her why, he would probably get another punch in the face. Wes nodded his head lightly.
"I won't, I promise, really. Still friends?" asked Wes putting out his hand to Jen. Jen could see he really was sorry by looking into his eyes, but there was something else behind it. Something in his eyes she had never seen before until now. Jen put out her hand and shook Wes's hand.
"Friends," said Jen smiling briefly back at Wes as he smiled back at her. Lucas, Katie and Trip gave the two a moment until that walked up closer to the two. Lucas walked over to the side of Wes and Jen placing one hand on Jen's should and the other on Wes shoulder.
"Well, now that is settled. We still have a giant robot and Ransik to deal with,' said Lucas knowing that had to be taken care of before anything else. That is when Trip noticed the other morpher on Wes's wrist.
"Why do you have Eric's morpher?" asked Trip knowing very well it wouldn't be like Eric to just hand that over. Wes turned his head looking over at Trip, suddenly all eyes were on Wes. Wes then begins to tell them what happened and how he got the morpher in his position.
"So, could there be a way to neutralize the crystals that power the Q-Rex?" asked Katie. They all knew that would be the only way they could use the powerful zord. There was a moment of silence then all eyes fell on Trip, he was the brains of the group.
Alex slowly walked into the living room with his head down. He walked over to his couch and slumped down on it. He sighed as he looked at the ring he held in his hands. The ring he had given Jen, it seemed so long ago that he had given her the ring. And just a couple hours ago she had given him the ring back she was in love with someone else. Not just someone else, someone that looked like him, someone that he was a distant relative of, the same someone that took over his ranger powers. Alex stared at the shiny, beautiful ring. He can almost remember the look on Jen's face when he had given her the ring. Alex eyes then wondered over to the picture frame that was on the coffee table of him and Jen. They looked so happy and so much in love in the photo. What had gone wrong, he wondered? And that's when the ring fell out of his hands and dropped to the ground. It startled Alex a little as he watched as the ring fell and that's when it hit him.
"It's my fault," he said shamefully. He then began to remember how he had treated her when he arrived to the past. He didn't explain much of anything to her or the others of how he had survived. All he cared about was the mission he hadn't taken the time to even consider Jen's feelings. What she had been going through with everything that had happened. Now that he looked back on it, he could see the tears she had cried he could hear the pain in her voice. Alex dropped his head down sighing deeply. It was because of him, that he had lost Jen. He could see now why Jen had fell in love with Wes. Wes was there for her, he took the time and effort to talk to her and to cheer her up. Someone that would love her above some mission, unlike he had done. His work had always come first with his relationship with Jen, and that was their downfall. Alex just hadn't seen that until he lost her. "I'm sorry I let you down Jen," said Alex softly, as he felt small tears run down his cheek.
Wes and the others were hiding out in a back alley, as Trip was working on the quantum defender gun. That hadn't heard Doom Tron for quite some time. They all figured Doom Tron was probably repairing any damage it took when the megazord whirl winded it and Ransik probably wasn't too far behind. Wes leaned against the wall he was sitting next to Lucas the two were facing Trip and Katie. And Jen was keeping her distance from the four. Wes looked over at Jen she had her back to all of them. She hadn't said a word to him since she punched him in the face. Wes turned and looked at Lucas. "Did something happen, while you guys were in the future?" asked Wes.
Lucas about froze, he glanced at Katie. She gives a warning startled type of look. Trip continued to work on the defender gun, knowing that right now it was more important then what had happened while they were in the future. Lucas turned looking at Wes giving a charming smile. "What do you mean?" asked Lucas almost shaking as his words came out. He knew it probably wasn't the best time to tell Wes that Alex had told them he had died saving the future, and then there was Jen finally admitting she loved Wes.
"Well, for one Jen hasn't said as much as two words since she punched me, and two you three have been pretty quite. Is there something you guys aren't telling me?" asked Wes. Lucas's eyes wondered over to Katie. Wes caught that right away and he looked at Katie waiting for answers. He knew something must have happened, but what?
"No nothing, happened Wes. We just came back to help you." Katie smiled as she nudged Trip in the arm discretely. "Right Trip," said Katie, hoping he would catch on. Trip looked up from his work with a confused look on his face.
"Huh?" he said confused. Katie looked at Trip with her eyes growing bigger and bigger. Trip finally got the hint. "Oh, oh yeah right," said Trip laughing lightly. Wes looked at him oddly; the three were not making much since at all. Trip coughed lightly and then goes back to finish working on the defender gun.
"Yeah, okay whatever, but something tells me you three are hiding something. I think I'll go ask Jen," said Wes starting to get up. Katie, Trip and Lucas all stared at each other, knowing that wouldn't be a good idea.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you Wes," said Lucas as he turned looking up at Wes. Wes stopped and turned around looking down at his friend.
"Why?" asked Wes not seeing a problem with what he was about to do. Lucas shrugged his shoulders.
"Well I don't know I guess if you want your left eye to match your right eye then go right ahead," said Lucas giving a grin, knowing that Jen wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, especially Wes.
Wes nodded his head it probably wasn't the best time for him to be talking to Jen. She was still kind of mad at him for sending them back, heck she probably was more then just mad. Furious, would be more like it. "Yeah, your probably right," said Wes as he sighed, he went back and sat down next to Lucas. Wes knew it would take more than 'I'm sorry' for Jen to get over being mad at him.
Jen sighed as she leaned her shoulder against the wall. She wanted so much to tell Wes how she felt about him, but now she was afraid to. She had punched him right in the face, and by tomorrow he'll probably have a black and blue eye. How do you tell the person you punched in the face, that you love them? Jen stared down at her finger where the ring once was, the ring Alex had given her. There was a time when she thought for sure that her life would be with Alex, she had dreamed about it so many times. Yet, now that she thought about it the only time the two seemed to ever be together was at work. Alex was always so busy with work and being a ranger. They never really ever had time for just the two of them. She wondered how she ever fell in love with him. She didn't remember anymore, maybe that was why she had fallen in love with Wes. There seemed to be a reason why she had, his loving and charming personality. The way he would always try to be there for her. Yeah, Alex was there for her at times. But had she loved Alex? She knew she of had to, or did she fall for him because he was the one that took his time into turning her into a time force officer. Jen sighed; she knew she hurt Alex badly. In a way they both had hurt each other. And now she had the chance to tell Wes everything, but what for? It will only end up hurting both of them in the end. So why even bring it up? Why tell him?
"It's done!" yelled Trip happily. Trip's words broke Jen out of her train of thought. She turned around looking at her teammates, her friends, and the man she loved. The biggest battle of their lives lied just ahead. Jen knew one thing was for sure no mater what would happen she would bring Ransik in, that is one thing she knew she owed to Alex. It was the last promise she made to him, and she wouldn't let him down on that. Because no matter what happened between them, she made a promise and she intended to keep it.
"Alright let's get moving people," said Jen, she would have to put her feelings for Wes aside for now. Right now the rangers needed their leader.
