Wildest Dreams
By Dana Grayson
Summary: sequel to Forever Dreaming. Eight months has passed and the war is on. How will Ryan and the rangers stop the SAR from taking over the universe?
Disclaimer: I own nothing Power rangers, wish I did but that's life. Any songs within this story will have separate disclaimers as they appear.
Author's note: This sequel to Forever Dreaming is Ryan's story. It will tell of how he'll find his own soul mate and defeat the enemy.
A.A.N. The story starts off in the middle of a plan but in later chapters all questions will be explained. Sara, Cody, Ester and Devon are the back rangers which were not chosen in the first chapter of FD. Also yes I know the idea is kind of the same as the start of the astro rangers but the plot will not be.
Chapter 1
"Take care." Hollie hugged the elder woman and the doctor smiled, yes, she was glad that this time her brother would not be alone.
"I will you just take care of you and that little one of yours." Hollie smiled and then moved to hug Chris.
"Take care of you kid."
"Hey I'm only a few months younger than you."
"Yeah, well you're still a kid." Hollie smirked knowing it would really bug him.
"And you're still a nut." Brent put in and she socked her friend in the gut.
"Takes one to know one."
"Ok red." He grinned and she hugged him tight. In the eight months they'd been rangers they'd become like brother and sister, both crazy after all.
"Hey you take care of my sister for me." Ryan told Carter who nodded it was odd for both, they'd said goodbye once before and then too had been deadly now though there was no way they could even hope to be as lucky.
"You don't even have to ask." Carter smiled and the two brothers hugged.
"Hey save some of that for me big brother." Dana teased Ryan happily. God, she was so proud of him, he was just so brave n handsome and… Tears filled her blue eyes and she thought of the little trick she'd played on him and hoped he'd never find out.
It was no secret that he and the yellow/gold ranger weren't exactly on the best of terms. He tended to end up yelling at her and despite what he said
Was just her blatant disregard for authority Dana knew it was more; there was just something between them.
"Now why would I want to do that?" He teased ruffling her blond curls. "You're only my little sister." But they both knew that wasn't true, she was his sister, his best friend and his only remaining family. God, he hoped he'd see her again and that the twins would be safe.
"Jerk." She laughed at him.
"And don't forget it." He grinned and careful of the child growing within her pulled his little sister in for a long hug. "I love you."
"I love you two." The last time she'd said goodbye to him she'd thought she'd never hear those words and now… Now she knew he loved her unconditionally.

"Be careful, you know Gina will kill you if you find some space babe." Cody smiled at his friend and partial predecessor.
"Bite your tongue." Ester punched her boyfriend on the shoulder. It was only then that heath really thought about all that had happened in the last months, first there had been the destruction of the mega rail rescues, then the cloned rangers, and then they'd decided it was time to end this once and for all. Now, he would make sure that happened, along with the Starspeed team. It was still amazing, they'd become a team, fought fight after fight and then they'd picked a second team, or rather filler team. That made more sense since two of the new comers were staying on earth, having taken over the yellow and blue morphers while the new morphers had been created for the other unit. They were well balanced he smiled, yes, as he watched the partings.

"Hey capt'n take care of those two, you know how much trouble they can get into." Brent said even as they looked to where Hollie was hugging Marie and Heath was kissing his girlfriend.
"I think that Gina will kill me if I don't." Ryan said riley and Brent laughingly agreed.
"Yeah looks like."

"Hey you take care of her." Hollie told Brian gruffly. The red ranger nodded and released the arm about his girlfriend long enough to hug the gold clad girl.
"You look after you and those two." The red clad young man countered and she nodded.
"You better believe it." Hollie smiled at the two who were practically engaged. Had it really been eight months since they'd met? She couldn't believe just how much like family they'd become. Now though they were saying goodbye for what could be the last time if both teams were not careful. And now they're were two teams, for Cody Antonio and Ester Summers had joined the home team so they'd not be understaffed while the three made their trip to Mirinoi to retrieve the precious metal needed to capture the sar and help stop the sar forces from taking the alien world. Not that the galaxy rangers weren't holding their own but since it was the only world with the needed metal the GSA had asked Captain Mitchell to go and take the others to help out.

"Be careful." Sarah Jackson hugged her sister Nancy and knew that this was both the most important thing she might ever do and too the most dangerous. Still, she knew that with the danger the city was in she couldn't not go.
"Me? You're the one crossing the galaxy." The older woman laughed and in the twenty three years she'd been alive she had never before been more proud of Sarah she was smart, resourceful and now a power ranger.
"You'll be living in a city with those things." Sarah reminded her.
"But you'll be in space with them." Nancy grinned and Sarah rolled her blue eyes.

Not far away the black clad young man known as Devon Chandler watched the scenes of parting and wondered why only he had no one to say a farewell too. But then he'd never been one for a big family. He was after all a loner. In truth he'd not even been sure how they'd chosen him for this mission. He was not at all like the others. He had no family, few friends and his life his sport.
Suddenly out of the blue appeared the SAR foot soldiers and everyone was going to work.
"Go, you have to go now!" Carter shouted and Hollie shook her head as she tried to help protect the pregnant doctor.
"We can't leave you!" She said and soon not just Hollie was in place Carter having whirled and being joined by the other commander and Chris.
"We have a job to do guys!" Brian shouted and his team spread out, spacing them away from the innocent bystanders.
"Right!" Marie called and did a back flip sending two SAR to dust even as Ester blasted three more.
"Time to shine!" Cody shouted and kicked one foot to his right tripping two SAR with a sweep kick at the same time he backhanded yet another of the copper colored enemy.
"Now," Chris grunted as he was kicked from behind. "This is what I call a send off!" he leapt into the air form his so-looking injured state and split kicked two sar while he then flipped mid-air into a summersault and bowled over two more of them.
Sarah balled up a fist and swung it at the SAR who caught it in his other hand. She didn't think just balanced herself on one foot and lashed out with the other, kicking him in one spot that even a Sar soldier couldn't ignore. It not only had him letting her go, it gave Ester the chance to shoot him.
"You'll pay for that!" Another soldier shouted, his blade blaster shot from his hand and he smiled nastily at them. The now yellow ranger flipped away from him and landed beside Marie.
"Looks like your power's in good hands!" Chris chuckled over at Hollie who was kicking a SAR away from their protective circle.
"Della 14 to teleport!" Ryan shouted into his communicator and in a flash all but six of the rangers and civilians were eliminated from the area. The others stayed to do a little butt kicking.

Arriving on the light raider Carter turned to his wife and looked down at her in concern.
"Dana are you sure you're ok?" He asked and she smiled up at her husband, he was always more concerned about her and the baby. Reaching up she touched his cheek.
"Carter we're fine." She smiled up at him and then turning she found her brother. "You guys better get going or things might get more hairy."
"Aye aye doc!" Ryan called to his little sister with a salute.
"Bye!" The nine called as they were teleported off of the ship's bridge.
The starspeed team took their positions at the computer consoles they'd learned in the last weeks to operate. Sarah punched in a series of function keys and then called.
"I've established contact with mission control."
"Waiting on clearance." Hollie announced and al looked to Captain Mitchell, or rather Ryan. Since he'd been christened the red ranger they were now to act as if his rank didn't matter. He was just their leader.
"Shields?" The red clad young man asked looking to Heath.
"At full." The Sapphire ranger replied after double checking his readout.
"Lasers?" He asked looking to the final member of their team.
"On stand by." Devon replied.
"Alright." Ryan nodded at Sarah who then waited for a response from mission control. She then looked to Hollie.
"Firing thrusters." Hollie replied hitting the necessary button.

Ok, first chapter rewritten slightly. I didn't catch the errors in this chapter until I was reading it over to see how I could make this story as um… More heartfelt I guess. Anyway what do you think? Is it any better?
