Chapter 2-Calling All Rangers
"Ronnie, Sam, Leah, come here guys, food's ready." The three pre- kindergarteners came running at Jason's command. They were each playing in their baby pool while all their parent's were having their barbecue.
"I wonder what is taking Tommy and Kim so long. I don't know how much longer I can hide the food from him." Aisha said as she pointed to Rocky. Rocky came up from behind her and wrapped his arm around her rather round belly. "Hey, it's not my fault. We're pregnant; we have to eat for an extra person. I am just filling the request." She turned and glared at her husband. "WE are not pregnant; I AM. And don't be a smart ass, you eat everything you great big hog." He stuck his tongue out at her and while he was distracted she stole his paper plate of food out of his hand and started running to the other end of the backyard.
"Awww...new parents, don't it make ya' want to have another honey?" Zack said with a smirk, not looking at anyone, but they all knew the comment was pointed to Angela. Zack had been begging for another child ever since their son and his friends entered the Angel Grove Day Care School. She always replied the same though, "I'd love to have another child honey, when you figure out how to have it, then sure WHY NOT?" he always winced at thinking about that impossibility. He rolled his eyes and decided to change the subject, "Ya' ah Jase where is the boy and girl wonder anyway. I know they've been married for a while, but I didn't think Kim would ever let her Tommy make her late, even if it was fashionable."
Jason laughed as he pulled down the top to the barbecue's lid and walked over to Zack who was sitting with Adam, Tanya and their wives. "Bro, I have no idea, I called Kim's cell, but I just got her voice mail. They said they would be here an hour ago. I'm getting kinda worried." Kat in seeing the look in her husband's eyes started rubbing his back, "It's ok sweetheart; I bet they're fine. Tommy must have had some work or something." She knew her words were empty, when her husband worried, nothing truly stopped him, but she always tried anyway.
Leah came up to the table and pulled on Adam's sleeve. "Daddy, I have to go potty." She whispered to him. The little girl's innocence and smile lightened the mood. "Alright, come on." Adam took his daughter's waiting hand, but she held him there and looked to the other end of the table, "Mama you come too." Tanya rolled her eyes and grabbed her other hand.
Jason began putting some of the burgers, everyone deciding they would leave food on the side for the Oliver's, when the phone rang in the house. "Don't worry I'll get it." Tanya yelled still waiting for her daughter and husband in the house. Jason felt something in his bones; he knew that wasn't just any phone call. He started to the house, leaving some burgers still on the grill. He was beaten to going in though when Tanya came out of through the door. "Jase, we got trouble."
*********************
"Mmmm, Carter, I have to get up." She could feel his hands going under her shirt, and she knew if he started, she would never get to work on time.
"What I can't just kiss my beautiful fiancée?" he kissed both of her cheeks as he continued making his way under her pajama top.
"Yeah, you're doing a lot more than kissing Mr. Grayson." She couldn't help it though, he was her drug, and she planned on being addicted forever. She put her arms around his neck and began kissing him back....and kissing...pulling off his shirt....her hands making their way further down..... 'RING, RING, RING'
"MMMmmmm....Carter...answer it." She stated between kisses.
"WHY?! It's probably just Angela complaining that Joel is irritating the neighbors with his country music, AGAIN!" he said quickly as he recaptured her lips, trying to kiss her passionately enough so she would ignore the ringing. 'RING, RING, RING"
"CARTER GRAYSON, we have been engaged not even 12 hours, we have plenty of time for that. And when did you start ignoring your phone?!" she said as she tried pushing him away. 'RING, RING, RING'
"FINE?! But you talk to her, and make it quick...I have some plans for you young lady." He picked up the now ringing phone and pulled it to her ear.
"Dana Mitchell here....hehehe Carter, stop that......soon to be Grayson speaking." She giggled as Carter went under the covers and began kissing her navel. He heard frequent, "mhhmm, uh-huh, really," that's when he got bumped in the head when she sprang up. "Oh My God, no, NO, count us in, we'll round up the others, and meet at NASADA. Alright, Bye." She hung up the phone and ran for her clothes on the floor.
Carter still in a daze asked, "Dana what's happening, what's wrong?" Now mentally kicking himself for trying to be more spontaneous and neglecting his duties.
"Big trouble." She explained what was going on and they began assembling the other members of Lightspeed.
********************
"Alright, I'm checking the perimeter, Collins, Myers, cover me." Jen said into her walkie-talkie as she came out the side of the door, gun to chest, as she checked for their suspect. He had been eluding them for weeks now, hitting up every bank on the east side of Silver Hills. But tonight, Jen would have him. It was 5 am, they were exhausted, but you know Jen, "He won't sleep, until he does, and if he is going to be awake at 5 am, SO ARE WE."
"JEN, BEHIND YOU!" Jen turned to see a bullet coming towards her, she fired her weapon and tried to move out the way, but she wasn't in time. The bullet grazed her left arm and sent her to the floor.
"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!" Wes came out from behind Jen and ran towards the bullet's owner, "TIME FOR TIME FORCE!" The red streak blinded the culprit and he didn't see the Chrono Saber come at him until it was too late.
"Jen you ok?" Said Eric, who jogged up to his partner. He helped her up by her good arm. "Yeah, I'm fine. WES WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!" She screamed as she wiggled out of Eric's grip and walked over to her husband.
He powered down, and left the perpetrator to the other Silver guardians. "What do you mean what's wrong with ME?!" He knew her tone of voice was the rumblings of an argument.
"Where do I start? First, you are not my knight in shining armor, so can you please not come in and save me! Second, why are you using your powers on a civilian?" she may have been bleeding, pale, and in pain, but she could still put fear in Wes' eyes.
"Jen the saber was on low power. AND EXCUSE ME for wanting to help my BLEEDING wife. I'M AN ABSOLUTE MONSTER!" he glared.
"I'M NOT YOUR WIFE ON DUTY!!! How many times are we going to go over this. When we are on the job, I am like everybody else....WES, if you're not gonna treat me like all the other...AHHH!" The tension and stress was making the wound worse. "Jen we need to get you looked at."
He went to start leading her but she moved away. "Jen, he's captured, meaning we are off duty. That makes me your husband now, and I don't care of I have to become the caveman husband you love to describe me as, I WILL drag you to hospital if you don't let me call an ambulance to check it out." She saw the seriousness in his eyes, and all she could do was nod and let him lead her out to the vans.
The ambulance came quickly, and though Wes wanted her to go to the doctor's, it was only a flesh wound, and Jen of course refused to go to any doctor for "nothing serious" as she put it.
"Wes I will be FINE, can we please just go home?" She yelped as he carefully placed his jacket over her, she hated when he doted. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her in for a hug, trying not to touch her left side. "What would I have done if that bullet would have come any closer?" He pulled her in and put his head to her chest.
She rolled her eyes and patted him on the head, 'GOD, Who's the girl in this relationship?' The thought brought a smile to her face. He looked up to see her grinning to herself, "What's so funny?" He pulled himself up right, but didn't let her go.
"Oh, NOTHING, just thinking how pitiful you get." He glared at her again. She started laughing at his face; he couldn't help but smile back. But used her distraction to pull her in for a quick kiss, which ended up not so quick.
"OK.....you two........VERY rich people.......you can afford to GET A ROOM! Preferably AWAY from me." Eric said as he walked up to the couple, and used the papers in his hand to shield his eyes. Wes pulled up from his wife and looked her in the eyes, "Ignore him, he's going through Taylor withdrawal." Eric rolled his eyes and handed them the paper work the Silver Guardian leaders needed to fill out. "Here funny man, before you get all goo goo eyed again, you might wanna do your work first."
"I hate to say it Eric, but Wes' right." She said while writing up her report with her good hand. "You're gonna see her in a few days. And all will be right in the world, OK, so drop the 10 year old stuff, I already have one child to deal with." She said with her finger pointed at Wes. "Hey, I resent that." He said as he folded his arms over his chest and pouted. She gave Eric the facial expression that translated into a silent, 'see what I mean.'
The three spent the next few minutes exchanging banter and plans for the weekend with the retired wild force rangers. They had become rather close with the other team since theirs were, well we know where they were. "Excuse me, Sir, I got an urgent message for you." The voice halted their conversations quickly, "Who's it from?" Wes said turning to the guardian standing before him. "Um, the message sir is from a Tom Oliver."
The three looked at each. They knew who it was, and any urgent message from him meant one thing, as Wes elegantly put it, "Well there goes the weekend."
********************
"Alright kids, now you guys can touch it, but one by one, we don't want to scare it." She was a tad worried about letting the kids near a 4-foot python, but it was wrapped around COLE'S neck, so she knew nothing would really happen. "We will Miss Enrile WE PROMISE." The first kid went up to it and slid its hand across the scales. Each child did the same until they were all content.
Cole put the animals back in their cages. He hated putting them there, but he explained to them it was just to move them around from the reservation to the classroom, they understood (who could really say no to those blue eyes?). Danny came with him, and loaded the reserve's van as Cole helped Alyssa clean up the classroom.
"So how did I do today MISS Enrile?" She giggled as they put the chairs upside down on the kid's tables. "I think you were an absolute hit today MR. Evans, did you have fun?" She hadn't noticed, but he was already behind her when she had finished her question, "I spent the day with my favorite friends, got to share them with great kids, and got to be with you. I don't think this day could get any better.....but than again." He whispered as he moved in to close the distance between them....
"ALRIGHT kids, break it up, break it up, take it outside!" yelled Max, so rudely interrupting their moment. "Come on Lyssa, you can play Jane and Tarzan anytime, Taylor's waiting in the car, and if you don't hurry she's gonna take the wheel. And well I don't feel like crying for my mother, sooooooooooo..." she rolled her eyes, and laughed turning back to Cole. "I'll see you later, you and Danny don't stay too late ok." She said as she pecked him on the lips and hugged him. "Mmmm, I don't know how I could stay anywhere knowing this is waiting."
Max mumbled into a cough, "Corny" and the two turned back to him and both gave playful glares. Cole started to help her on with her jacket and they headed for the door. They didn't make it very far since Danny and Taylor came running in.
"Guys, I just got a call from Eric........" Taylor was cut off by Cole's ringing cell phone (yes, even Cole had to get one). "Hold on Taylor, Hello.....TJ HI, LONG TIME NO....what?......Um, yeah.......no, no, no, there all here....." he looked into Taylor's eyes as he heard the recant of the events on KO-35, she nodded knowing what was going on, "Yeah, count us in....."
"Cole what was all that about?" Alyssa questioned with widened eyes. "Long story, I'll tell you on the way." "WAIT, on the way to where?" Max replied.
"On the way to the Turtle Cove woods, we need to find Merrick."
*********************
"SO that's everyone?" Carlos said as he entered the room where Tommy, Kim, Cassie, and TJ were seated.
"Yeah, that's all the earth rangers accounted for. They're going to get their teams together. The wild and time rangers are meeting us as soon as, well, as soon as the Time force rangers and get their team from the year 3000, and the wild forcers get their powers back from the Animarium." They all looked at Kim's break down with skeptical faces.
"WHAT?! They're rangers, they'll get it done." Kim said to them, noticing Tommy's face. "Honey, what's wrong?" she walked over to where he was seated.
"We haven't contacted ALL the earth rangers. YET." He replied looking at her.
"Tommy we can't....they're just kids.....they don't even know us..." Cassie said looking back and forth from Tommy to the others.
"We were only kids Cassie, and we need all the help we can get. You heard Ashley this Malix has an army. They're rangers, they don't HAVE to have met us to know us." TJ replied. "It's Karone. Cassie, we have to try....." Carlos nodded in agreement.
TJ took Cassie's hand and squeezed, "Or we can lose her and the baby, I know....alright, I guess, let's do it." She said with reluctance on her face as she held TJ's hand.
Tommy looked back to Kimberly; to make sure she agreed also, the smile she gave made him sure,
"Alright, than let's contact them...let's contact the Ninja Storm rangers."
