Dreams vs. Reality
"I had another dream." Wes said quietly. He looked at Jen, who had a worried expression on her face.
"Sit down and tell me exactly what you dreamt." Jen said firmly.
"There was destruction, and debris laying on the street. Galden was there with a cannon in his hand. You tried to stop him by morphing, but you couldn't get the phrase out in time and he shot at you. Then you were lying on the ground, not moving. Galden stood over you and say Good-bye, then he fired. Then an explosion and I woke up. I've been having it every since I got here. But it was more intense. It was like I lost track of reality…" Wes said.
"Maybe you're just paranoid…" Jen started.
"It wasn't like that Jen! I felt the blast from the explosion. The heat from the fire. I felt my blaster in my hand. I fell to the concrete and I felt pain." Wes yelled.
Jen looked at him, not knowing what to say. She tried to speak but her words were lost. Wes looked at her, tears glistening in his eyes. Jen stood up and took him in her arms. He put his head down on her shoulder.
"I'm just scared, that's all. Maybe I am paranoid. Maybe it's because I'm still off active duty. I can't watch over you, make sure everything's ok." Wes said into her neck. She felt his hot tears on her neck.
"But I'm right here, aren't I?" Jen asked him. "I'm standing right here. Holding you. Nothing is going to change that, Wes. Nothing." Jen said. He picked his head up and looked at her.
"I-I'm just afraid to loose you. I love you too much to see that happen, Jen." He said.
"I love you too, Wes. Like I said, nothing is ever going to change that." She said softly. She passionately kissed him.
Jen then looked him I the eye, and saw him smile. "Now, it's 12am and I'm tired, so let's get to bed, huh?"
Wes smiled. "Sounds good." She took his hand and they went up to her room.
Down the hall, her parents door opened when they heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Jack poked his head out of the door. "Jen, honey is that you?" he said.
"Yea, Dad, its me. I'm home." Jen said.
"Okay. Go to sleep." He went back in his room. Wes let out a silent laugh and murmured. "I guess he was as worried as I was, huh."
"Yeah. What can you do?" Jen opened her door and they both went in. Wes flopped down on the bed.
Jen went into her bathroom and put her pajamas on. When she walked out, she saw Wes sitting up on the bed and sat down next to him.
"Now. We both have had a difficult night. So get some sleep." Jen said. She put her head down on the pillow, Wes just looked at her.
"What would I do without you?" He said.
"Let's hope we don't have to find out." Jen said. Wes smiled and kissed her again, and lay his head down on her chest, relaxing.
Jen lay there for a few minutes and listened to Wes's breathing. It soon slowed to peaceful sleep.
'He's had a rough time. He deserves to relax for a change.' "Sweet dreams, Wes." She said.
Jen wrapped her hands securely around him and closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
December 22, 8:00am
Wes awoke the next morning to find Jen's side of the bed empty, but a chatter of voices was heard downstairs. He went to the bathroom and went downstairs.
He walked into the kitchen to see Jack, Angela, Diane, Alan, Pam, and another man he didn't recognize.
Angela heard Wes come in and she greeted him with a smile. "Good morning, Wes!" she said.
"Good morning to you, too." Wes said.
Jack looked at him. He seemed a bit tired, but all in all, happy. "I trust everything is ok, Wes?"
"Yea, everything's fine. You know, last minute Christmas jitters, that's all." Wes said.
"Wes, take a seat, please." Angela got up and offered his chair to him. Wes just shook his head.
"No, I was just going to get something to drink." He walked over to a cabinet and grabbed a cup and poured himself some orange juice. He looked at the table where Jen's family was seated. But Jen wasn't there. His heart stopped.
"Where's Jen?" He said. Pam noticed the look on his face and laughed.
"Relax, Wes. She just went to deliver some files to Captain Logan. It was about some officers or something." Pam said. "Oh, by the way, Wes, this is my boyfriend, Greg Ashings. Greg, this is Wes Collins, Jen's boyfriend.
"Nice to meet you, Wes." Greg said.
"You, too."
"So, what were those files about anyway?" Diane asked.
"Files…oh! They were candidates for the Red chronomorpher." Wes said.
"Chronomorpher?" Greg asked. His eyes widened. "You're with Time Force?"
"Yep. I'm actually a candidate for the morpher." Wes said.
"Wes, you were the red ranger, remember?" Alan added.
"No kidding! You were the Red Ranger? As in the one that fought against Ransik with the others in the past?" Greg asked.
"Yea. That's how Jen and me got to know each other. She was my commanding officer. Once I met her, I guess you can say sparks flew." Wes said.
Just then the door opened and Duke barked. Wes heard a voice. "Easy, down boy! Down! Quiet, Duke!" Wes gasped as he heard the voice. It was a female, no doubt, but not Jen's.
"Jen, I thought you said Wes was here!" a male voice said.
"Yea. We wanted to see him!" a higher male voice called.
"WES!" Jen's voice echoed through the hallway. "Wes, where the hell are you!" the other female said.
He ran down the hallway to see Jen and three other people standing with her.
"WES!" They all said.
He looked at the three people, amazed to see them. The other female had long brown hair, and was brown in skin color. One man was tall, with hair that could pop a balloon. The other man had green hair with a backpack on.
"Katie! Trip! Lucas!" He jumped to see them. "Wha-What are you guys doing here!" He hugged them all. Jen stood behind them smiling.
"Hey! Don't forget about me, Wes!" said a mechanical voice. An owl-looking computer flew out of Trips backpack.
"Circuit?" Wes said.
"At your service, Wes!" he computer said.
"Wow, I can't believe you guys are here! But how?" Wes asked. The trio turned and looked at Jen. She walked toward him and smiled.
"Merry Christmas, Wes." Jen said. "I figured that this would be a great present. Get the gang back together, just like old times."
December 22, 5:30PM,T.G.I. Fridays restaurant:
The five Time Force rangers walked in and were seated at a circular table. Jen sat next to Wes. Katie was at Jen's left, and Trip at Wes's right. Lucas was stuck in the middle.
"Gosh, I still can't believe you guys are here." Wes said.
"Yea, it was all Jen's idea. She got a hold of us over at TF HQ in New York and said she wanted us to get together for Christmas, as a present for you." Katie said.
"When she told us that you were, we didn't know what to think. All we knew was that we were coming, even if Alex told us not to." Trip said.
"Then when Jen contacted me in Europe I decided to miss my race and come here, to see you." Lucas said.
"I was planning this for weeks. I think Lucas was the hardest to get. I called his girlfriend who called his sister, who called his mom, who finally got a hold of him." Jen stated.
"I don't know why you just didn't call my cell, Jen. I gave you the number before I left to tour!" Lucas said.
"Oh, really? Was your cell phone ON?" Jen said.
Lucas looked at her. "Well, umm…"
Jen laughed. "Exactly my point!" the group laughed. Katie smiled as the looked at Wes.
"So, I guess you two are an item now?" Trip asked.
Wes smiled at Jen. "You can say that."
"Hell, it took you two LONG ENOUGH!" Lucas yelled.
"Hey, if Alex let him come in the first place then they'd probably be married by now!" Katie said.
Jen and Wes exchanged glances after Katie finished.
"Umm, Katie…If I were you, I'd shut up." Trip said.
Jen spoke up. "So, how is Alex anyway?"
"He's fine." Said a voice behind them. Jen and Wes turned around to see Alex walk up behind them.
"Well, you did decide to come!" Katie said excitedly. Jen looked at her. "I asked Alex if he wanted to tag along. Hope you don't mind, Jen."
"That's not a problem! Pull up a chair, Alex. There's plenty of room!" Jen stated. He grabbed one and sat between Lucas and Katie.
"Hello, Wesley." Alex said.
"Alex. It's been a long time." Wes said. They shook hands across the table. "How've you been?"
"Everything's been good." Alex said. "The mutant problem is getting a bit annoying, but other wise, it's been good."
"I heard you're Captain at the HQ in New York." Wes said.
"Yup. Katie and Trip have been doing a great job capturing them." He said. Then he looked at Jen.
"Hello, Jennifer." He said.
"Hi, Alex." Jen said.
"How have you been?" Alex asked.
"Oh, everything's good. Time Force almost has the Underground cornered. I created a special team, a Task Force, which has proven to be successful." Jen said.
"Yes, I heard about that. It's made my officers a bit jealous." Alex said.
"Why, because they don't have one, or because I'm the one who's running it?" The group all laughed, including Alex.
"I think it's the first one." He paused. "So, Wes. I heard you're going for the morpher again."
Wes nodded. "Yes, I am. I'm awaiting the approval for the class."
Jen's smile faded as she heard him say approval. Katie noticed her expression, but didn't say anything.
For the rest of the night the group laughed and talked. Alex left early do to the fact he needed to be back by morning. Jen, Wes, Katie, Lucas and Trip went back to Jen's house to relax and talk about old stories.
Jen's house: 9:30PMThe group was sitting around and relaxing having when Jen got up. "Hey, you guys want anything to drink?"
"Sure! Soda!" Trip called. Jen shook her head.
"Trip, you're nuts. I'll be right back." Jen got up and went into the kitchen.
Lucas noticed something fall out of Wes's pocket and picked it up. It was a small black velvet box. He opened it to reveal a small ring with a diamond integrated into it. He eyed Wes and smirked.
"So, Wes. When's the wedding?" Lucas asked.
"What?" He saw the box in Lucas's hand. "Hey! Give me that!" Lucas closed the box and threw it to Katie's waiting hands, and she opened it.
"Wow, Wes! This is beautiful!" Katie exclaimed.
"Getting ready to pop the big one?" Trip asked.
"When the time is right, yes. But for now I can't figure out what to get her for Christmas! I have three days and nothing's come to mind."
Trip spoke up. "Why not ask her then?"
"No, I want to wait until Galden is caught. Then I'm going to ask her."
"Ask me what?" Wes turned around to see Jen walk in with five cups and a bottle of soda.
"Ahh…when Galden will be caught." Wes lied.
"I told you, whenever we are able to capture him." Jen sat down next to Wes. Wes slipped the box into his pocket.
As more snow began to fall, the group settled down and relaxed.
December 23: 3:00PM Silver Hills airport
"Are you sure you guys can't stay?" Wes asked.
"Katie and me need to get back, it'll be leveled unless were there." Trip said. "But hey, its not like we're 1000 years apart."
"It's more like 1000 miles!" Katie said. They all laughed.
"That's true." Wes said.
"Well, Trip. It was fun! I was so happy to see you again." Wes gave him a hug.
"Yea, you too, Wes." Trip said. "See ya."
Trip then walked to Jen. "Bye, Jen. It was great seeing you again."
"You too, Trip. You too." She gave him a hug.
"See you both real soon!" Trip called and waited by the exit.
"Well, Katie. I'll be seeing you soon, right?" Wes asked.
"You bet, Wes. Real soon." Katie said as he hugged her, with her bone-crushing hug.
"Oh, easy, Katie, EASY! I just finished healing!" They laughed. "That's ok. I'm looking forward to another one soon." He hugged her again.
"See ya later, Wes." Katie walked over to Jen.
"Take care of him, Jen. Or I'll steal him away." Katie joked.
"Right." Jen hugged her. "We'll see you real soon, Katie. Have a safe trip back."
"Bye, Jen." Katie walked over to the exit along with Trip.
Lucas walked up to Wes. "Wes, the next time I'm back here, you're going to come to one of my races." He hugged him.
"Ok then. I promise I will. See ya later, Lucas." Wes said.
"Bye Wes."
He went over to Jen. "It's been fun. I'll visit real soon." Lucas hugged her.
"You'd better!" Jen laughed. "See ya. Be careful on the track!"
He walked over to the exit and the three waved good-bye to Jen and Wes.
"Jen, that was probably the best gift I've ever gotten." Wes put his hand around her waist as they watched the plane take off.
"I thought you'd like it." Jen smiled. "Come on, let's go home." They smiled as they walked out of the airport and began the drive home.
December 24: 5:00PMWes was nervous. It was Christmas Eve and he didn't have a present for Jen. He was doing some last minute shopping when he came across a jewelry store. There was a necklace in the window that caught his eye.
He was deciding whether to go and take a look. But for the hell of it, he decided to go in.
Walking around the shop, he saw a necklace that was beautiful. It wasn't too big, it wasn't too small. It wouldn't get in the way of a mutant attack, but it presentable enough.
"It's perfect." Wes said out loud.
"Yes, it is." The sales person said. Wes looked up to see someone who liked exactly like…
'Eric?' Wes thought. This made him smile. 'Boy, he'd go insane if he found out he's a salesperson in the future.' "Do you have anymore of these in stock?" Wes asked.
"Yes, this is one of five. It's the only one left." The man said. "Until I design more."
'I take that back, a jewelry designer.' "You designed this?" Wes asked the man. "It's beautiful."
"Thank you. My name is Justin Hurwitz." Justin stuck his hand out to Wes. He shook it.
"Wes Collins." Wes responded.
"Nice to meet you, Wes." Justin looked at his shirt. The Time Force insignia was on the left side of his chest. "You're with Time Force?"
"Yes." He paused. "How much is the necklace?" Wes asked.
"The retail is $495.99. With the 20%off, it's 405." He paused. "But if I can see your badge, it's an extra $100 off. Make it 300 even."
Wes gasped. 'Wow, they really do pamper Time Force officers.' "Deal."
"Excellent." Wes handed Justin his credit card. "Gift wrap?"
"Uhh, sure." A few minutes later, Justin came back with the box wrapped.
"Here you are, Wes. Who's it for anyway?" He handed Wes the box.
"My girlfriend…Jen Scotts." He said.
"As in Lieutenant Scotts?" Justin asked.
"Yea, you know her?" Wes asked.
"My best friend is her brother, Alan. He told me Jen finally got with someone. That's good to hear. Tell Alan and Jen I said hello for me." Justin said.
"Sure. Thanks again, Justin!" Wes walked out and smiled as he went to his car, Jen's gift safely in the bag.
6:30PM: Jen's house
Wes walked in the door as a cold breeze swept through.
"Close the door, Wes! It's freezing out there!" Jen came down the stairs. "You're home just in time for dinner."
"That's good. I'll be right there. Just let me get this stuff in our room." Jen nodded.
Wes walked up the stairs, nearly knocking Jack over. "Jack! I'm sorry, I didn't see you there!" Wes said.
"No harm done, Wes." Jack said. "What's in the bags?"
"Oh, just some last minute things." Wes said. "I'll be down in a minute, I just want to get this out of sight from Jen."
"Okay." Jack went downstairs.
Wes walked into Jen's room and put his bags down on the floor and took out Jen's present. The silver necklace shimmered in the light. In the middle were three small pink flowers with 1-karat diamonds in the center. "Beautiful."
Wes walked down the stairs and smiled as dinner was served.
That evening
Jen sat down on the couch with a book in hand. The fireplace was lit, creating a romantic glow that Wes couldn't resist.
"Hey there." Wes sat down next to her, a wide smile on his face.
'What's he up to?' Jen thought. "Hi." Wes continued to smile. "What's up with you? You're never this perky."
"Just…happy to be here. This is our first Christmas together." He said.
"Aww... Someone wants something." Jen smirked. "And I think I know what it is."
"No... I didn't say anything. You assumed it." Wes said. He leaned closer to her. "Besides…I got you something better."
His face was inches from hers. "Oh, and what is that?" Jen asked.
"No, no. You're not finding out until tomorrow." Wes said.
"You're no fun, you know that, Wes?" Jen smiled.
"I know." Wes leaned in and kissed her. "Merry Christmas, Jen."
She snuggled up against him and put her head on his shoulder. "Merry Christmas, Wes."
The fire glowed as the two sat there, enjoying each other's company.
The next morning
"Thanks, Mom! It's beautiful!" Diane stated. She just finished unwrapping her present.
"I thought you'd like that." Angela said. "All right, is that everything?"
"Wait, I have some things for you guys." Wes ran back upstairs and grabbed his bags and took his place next to Jen.
"This one is for you, Jack." He handed him a box.
"Wes, you shouldn't have!" Jack opened up the box to see a collector's addition Swiss Army knife. He'd seen his collection.
"If I'm correct, you don't have that one." Wes said.
"You're right." Jack smiled at him. "I think this'll be my favorite. Thank you, Wes."
"You're welcome, Jack. Now, for Angela…Pam…Diane…and Alan." He handed them their boxes. All were pleased with the small gift Wes gave them.
He pulled out the last box. "This is for you, Jen." He gave her the small box. Jen looked at him and took the box. She slowly took off the wrapping paper, revealing a box. The top read Kay Jewelers. She opened the box to reveal her gift.
"Oh my god, Wes…It's beautiful." Jen was speechless as she took out the necklace, showing it to her family.
"Wow, Jen!" Diane said.
"Put it on, Jen! Put it on!" Pam said.
Wes took it from her and clipped it around her neck. She looked at him and smiled. "Thank you, Wes. I love it." Jen gave him a kiss.
"I had a hell of a time trying to figure out what to get you. I saw it and I'm like, that's it!" Jen smiled and put her head down on his shoulder.
1 week later
"Bye Mom. We had a great time!" Jen said. She hugged her mom. She and Wes waited at the door as they said goodbye to her family.
"Yes, thank you for everything, Angela. It was wonderful." Wes gave her a hug as well.
"Take care of my baby, Wes. She's your responsibility, now." Jack shook his hand.
"You can count on me, Jack. Thank you again." Wes said.
"You better take care of my baby sister, Wes. I mean it." Alan said. He shook his hand.
"Yea. You said it, Al!" Pam said.
"Well, I think you're in good hands, Jen." Diane said. "Bye."
Both of them said good-bye and went out to the car.
"Now…that wasn't so bad, was it, Wes?" Jen asked as she powered up the car.
"Nope." Wes said. "But it'll be good to get back on duty."
"I hear you on that one, Wes." Jen said.
They began their drive back to the city.
2 months later
Jen was sitting in her office doing some paperwork when a young officer walked in and saluted.
"Lieutenant Scotts!" the officer said. Jen looked up to see Officer Medan walk in.
"Officer Medan, at ease. What can I do for you?" Jen asked.
"Captain Logan has the final papers for the Ranger program, Lieutenant. He has one question though. It is on the paper inside the packet." He handed her the envelope.
"All right, thank you. Dismissed." The officer saluted and walked out.
Jen took out Captain Logan's note and read it. Her eyes widened at the question.
Meanwhile, Wes was getting off street duty.
"Officer Collins!" the receptionist called him over.
"Yes?" Wes asked.
"Officer, you have mail. I believe it's from Lieutenant Scotts." She handed him the envelope.
"Oh, thank you." Wes said.
"Hey, Wes!" he turned around to see Jason coming up behind him.
"Oh, hi Jason." Wes said.
"You got approval for the class too?" Jason asked.
"Looks like it!" Wes said smiling. "Good luck."
"Yea, you too. Well I better be off, see ya Saturday, at 6:00PM, its when classes begin." Jason called out.
"Bye!" Wes said. He smiled as he opened up his letter and began reading.
Officer Collins-
We of Time Force would like to thank you for applying to our Ranger Program. Classes begin this Saturday at 6:00PM in conference room 7….
"Blah blah blah. Thank you for this and that." Wes said.
Lieutenant Scotts has chosen five of Time Force's best candidates for this special program. Her expertise in this area of Time Force is the best and she has made her decisions in who has been accepted.
He read the next paragraph. His smile soon faded and was replaced with anger.
"What?" He read the section over and over.
However, we regret to inform you that you have been rejected to take our Ranger program, for the Red chronomorpher. You are not qualified to be eligible for the morpher and will be put on stand by, in the event that one of our five candidates drop the class, then you will be asked to step in. Your name will be on the top of the list for the next person, but on the last in the event the Red Ranger and follow-ups aren't able to fulfill their duties.
Again, we thank you for applying.
"It can't be!" Wes said out loud. He read the names that were signed on the letter.
Senior Commander Steven Datas
Captain Robert Logan
"I don't understand!" He read the last name signed on the paper. No doubt in ink and recently signed.
Lieutenant Jennifer Scotts"How can she do this to me?" Wes asked. "I am as qualified as she is!"
He stormed into an elevator to see exactly why he wasn't accepted.
Level 26: Jen's office
Jen was finishing her work when someone walked into her office.
She looked up to see Wes walk into her office." Hi Wes. What are you doing here?" She said.
"Jen…We need to talk, now." Wes said angrily. He closed her door.
"Wes, what's wrong?" Jen asked.
Wes looked at her and yelled angrily. "You know exactly what's wrong, Jen!"
"Ok, first off, stop yelling, Wes!" Jen got up and faced him. "Second, what are you talking about?"
He threw the letter at her. Jen read it, and looked at him.
"Wes, I can explain." Jen started.
"EXPLAIN WHAT, JEN?" Wes was frantic. "You know DAMN well I'm qualified enough for it! You know damn well that I have the skill!" Wes yelled.
Jen put her hands on his shoulders. "Wes, please, just listen to me." Jen said firmly.
He pushed her arms away. "No! You listen to me! The only reason I came here was so I could be a Ranger again, not to come here and get my morpher taken from me!" he paused.
"Wes, that's not it, it's because…" Wes cut her off again.
"I don't care, Jen! Just…don't talk to me!" Wes yelled.
"Wes, listen to me!" Jen cried.
"Forget it! I'm out of here!" Wes yelled. He dropped the letter and stormed out of her office, leaving Jen in tears.
1 week later
"Hey, Wes. I didn't see you at class on Saturday." Jason said.
"That's because a certain someone didn't feel I was qualified enough." Wes said loudly as Jen passed him. The Ensigns glared at him.
Alli walked up to him. "Officer Collins, can I speak to you for a moment?" She looked at Jason. "In private?"
Wes walked with her to the Ensigns office. Davis, Jamie and Kyle stood around. It was silent when Wes walked in. They all were giving him death glances. Alli finally broke the silence.
"How could you do that to her, Wes?" Alli asked.
"Do what?" Wes asked.
"Do what…" Alli shook her head.
Kyle grabbed him by his collar and yelled in his face. "DO WHAT? How about make Jen feel like SHIT!"
Davis then stepped forward. "You yelled at her, and didn't even give her a chance to explain why you weren't in the class!"
Jamie then spoke. "We found her in her office, hysterical crying because of YOU."
Wes looked at her. "Thanks to you, she didn't show up for work today. She's sitting in her apartment regretting everything she's done." Alli said.
"That includes meeting you." Davis said darkly.
"You were the best thing that happened to Jen. I've never seen her so happy. And you threw that down the drain in two minutes." Kyle said.
Alli got right up in his face. "If I were you, I'd apologize. Think about what you've done, Wes. Because you blew it. Now you have no shot at the morpher and you will be LUCKY if you can patch things up with Jen."
The four stormed out and left Wes to think. At that moment the alarms went crazy.
"ATTENTION ALL PERSONNEL! ATTENTION ALL PERSONNEL! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! GALDEN IS ATTACKING TIMES SQUARE! ALL TASK FORCE MEMBERS REPORT TO THE BAY! ALL TASK FORCE MEMBERS REPORT TO THE BAY!" Captain Logan's voice echoed all throughout Time Force.
"Here we go, this is the big one!" Wes ran down to where he needed to be and got suited up. He heard Jen speak out.
"All right, boys, listen up! We've come this far! This may be out last battle. Whatever happens, know this. I am proud of every single one of you. You all have done Time Force proud." Jen looked at every one of them, then looked at Wes. He saw her eyes were red, no doubt from crying. She broke eye contact.
"Let's go get this bastard! MOVE OUT!" Jen called. They loaded up and were off.
Times Square
Galden and his gang blew up the statue over the fountain as people ran.
"This is great! Time Force will be no match for us this time! HA HA HA!" Galden gawked.
A blast was fired, hitting Galden. He fell to the ground. "Not this time!" Jen and her crew set up. She stepped forward. "Time Force! There's no where to run this time, Galden." The rest of Time Force set up behind her. "We're taking you down once and for good!" Jen declared.
"Oh, I'm SOO scared." Galden taunted.
"You should be." Jen said.
Galden laughed and fired a blast at the Task Force. Jen went down to one knee.
"OPEN FIRE!" Jen drew her blaster and they barraged Galden and his gang with shots. A few were effective.
"You'll regret that, Lieutenant!" Galden then fired and aimed for Jen.
Wes watched as she was hit in the stomach, and doubled over in pain. He winced.
Jen stood up and drew her blaster again. "I'm not going down that easily, Galden." She said.
"Let me see if I can change your mind." He fired again. Jen waited for the blast to hit her, but it never did.
Instead she saw Wes push her away and fire. "We're not done yet!" He yelled. Wes holstered his blaster and ran toward the mutant.
Galden fired, but Wes easily dodged. He landed a sidekick in Galden's stomach, but he recovered quickly. Galden threw a knife hand at Wes, but he easily blocked and planted a round kick in Galden's head. Galden swept his feet out from under Wes and dug his heel in Wes's shoulder. Wes leapt up and tornado kicked Galden then following it up with a spin sidekick to his stomach yet again, causing Galden to fly backward.
Galden, however, had a different idea. He fired his weapon at Wes, hitting his shoulder and sending him back.
"Wes!" Jen ran to where he was lying. "Wes, are you okay?"
"Yea. I'm fine." He tried to get up, but fell back in pain.
"Just stay here, Wes." Jen looked at Galden. "He is going down." Jen called out to him. "Galden!"
"I thought I got rid of you!" Galden smirked.
"Your time is up! TIME FOR TIME FORCE!" A flash of pink, and Jen was transformed into the Pink ranger.
"So, now you think you have a chance?" Galden said. "Let's see then!"
He and Jen went at it. Wes tried to get up, but a large pain in his back and leg prevented him from this. All Wes could do was hear Jen cry of pain. Then she was thrown back. The suit couldn't take it anymore, and Jen de-morphed.
"Well, Lieutenant. Looks like you've been beaten." Galden said.
Wes looked up and saw Jen lying on the ground, paralyzed with fear. "No. It can't be happening." Wes said. He shook his head but the image stayed.
Jen tried to get up but fell. "You won't get away with this!" Jen called.
"Oh, Lieutenant, I all ready have." Galden smiled evilly and aimed his cannon, right at Jen. Wes watched in horror as he raised his weapon, aiming directly for Jen.
"NOO!" Wes yelled. Galden was laughing. Jen's chrono saber was lying on the ground. Wes grabbed it and ran straight toward Galden.
"CHRONO SABER TO FULL POWER!" Wes commanded. Everyone watched as Jen's saber charged to full power.
"Wes!" Jen yelled. She watched as he ran toward Galden who raised his weapon as well.
"Silly human! You have no chance!" Galden yelled. He fired the cannon as Wes called out another command.
"TIME STRIKE!" He fired the weapon as Galden fired his. The blast hit Galden, and sparks flew.
"WES!" Jen cried out. "NOO!!"
Wes watched as the blast came flying directly toward him.
Then there was an explosion.
