Hey Whatever

Disclaimer: I don't own the power Rangers in any way, shape or form. If I did, they'd still be on in Australia. I own some of the concepts in this story, though. Some spoilers for the 1st Zord battle and power changes.

Jason looked at the coin in his hand. Not less than two hours ago, he had been granted the powers of the Red Tyrannosaurus and the Green Dragon. For the first time in his life, he had raw power coursing through him, but he didn't know what to do with it.

Well I can't control the universe, cause I'm only a man

And I've been reading papers, but they won't tell me who I am

And if you really need a new philosophy, there's one that makes sense

The one I profess…

He thought about his new team. Billy, the Blue Ranger had changed drastically since that fateful day those long years ago. Now, he was more confident and more sure of himself than ever. Jason smiled as he recalled some of the things said to PirhanaShell in the Zord battle. As he thought about Billy more, he found his thoughts being drawn to Kimberley. The petite Pink Ranger had also come a very long way in the recent years. No more was she ditzy and carefree, now she was scarred by a hundred battles – physical and emotional. Her once blank stare was now replaced with a deadly glint, causing instant nervousness to anyone, or anything, that crossed her path.

I say Hey Whatever

Let your beauty come alive, Let your colour fill the sky

And say Whatever

Why don't you liberate your mind, Let your colour fill the sky

Zack, the once youthful prankster now had a more serious demeanour. He had seen countless people injured and even killed in monster attacks. Of course they had tried to keep the battles out of the city, but there were some times where it was almost impossible. Jason thanked whoever was listening that the battle hadn't been in any populated areas, and that the new Turbo Rangers had come quickly.

All the world's a waiting room, and we're standing in line

For the answer to the question,

"What makes me smile?"

He smiled as his thoughts turned to Emily, the new White Ranger. Fortunately they had been able to pilot the Tyrannosaurus/Titanus combo without a hitch, but that was mostly to do with the psychic link that all the Rangers had. He thought it was a miracle that they could call upon the Power Sword in non-Megazord mode, but he knew the sword was always connected with the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord. He managed a wry grin as he thought about calling up the sword in Dinosaur mode. Maybe in the next battle he would.

Don't let them change your story, don't let them change your song

Don't let the gurus and philosophers lead you on…

Ah….

Hey whatever

Let your beauty come alive, let your colour fill the sky

And say whatever

Why don't you liberate your mind, Let your colour fill the sky

Jason's mood darkened a bit when he thought of the last member, the recently deceased Trini Kwan. Recently deceased, then recently resurrected in order to combat the renewed threat of Emperor Zedd. He wondered what would happen when Zedd and Serpenterra had been defeated, but he knew that day was a long time in coming. He also knew that the others were starting to warm up to the idea that she wasn't a member of the walking dead, just a person who had gone through a strange process. It was just the luck of the draw, he thought. Whatever happened, they were together again.

Like taking a seat at the roulette table and spinning the wheel

Good or bad, just take what it comes – it don't change how you feel

'f you're a champion of science, or you're just some freak show fool

What cannot be proved, no no, can still be true

He was startled out of his thoughts by two arms encircling him. He looked over his shoulder into the sapphire eyes of his wife, Emily Scott. She sighed, resting her head on his shoulders.

"I can't believe what's happened today. Do you think Karone can lead the Turbos?"

He smiled and looked over at her again, the light from the setting sun colouring her face ruby.

"Yeah. She's got Justin to help her out. We'll do fine. We always do."

I say, Hey Whatever

Let your beauty come alive, let your colour fill the sky

And say Whatever

Why don't you liberate your mind, let your colour fill the sky

Ah…

As they sat on the roof of the Power Centre, Jason smiled and knew that whatever battles they faced, they would come out of them stronger.

Hey Whatever…
