She looked at him with a heavy heart, everything she thought she had begun to put behind her was all coming back again, as she looked him in the eyes. He was so much like him and yet different in some ways. She felt the fear of loss, afraid of what could happen. She wanted so much to draw him into her arms and tell him not to go, but she knew she couldn't; he had a job to do. So with a heavy heart... "Be careful..." She took a deep breath to hold back her tears.

Tommy smiled gently, and raised his hand to wipe away one of her tears. "Aren't I always?" He then looked past her and saw Jason eyeing them. It did not go unnoticed by Tommy that Jason appeared to be jealous and perhaps a little protective. Tommy's eyes then fell back on Kim. "I better go; Jen's counting on us."

"Right," she said all too softly. Kim watched as Tommy turned around and headed over to Jen and Justin, with Cy-Core not too far behind.

Wes watched with a heavy heart as the three drove off in one of his father's cars. He then watched as Cy-Core waited until the car was out of sight, and then began to go on his way. It took everything he had not to follow him. "Good luck," he whispered.

Wes could sense his father and Eric behind him, giving him their support, or perhaps making sure he wouldn't take off. And if it hadn't been for that and everyone else standing around he probably would have taken off, even if he had to fight all of them to get there. But this time he decided that perhaps it was time he put his faith and trust in others. For once in his life maybe he would really listen to Jen, after all she too was scared that one day one of his stunts could get him killed.


The car came to a full stop in front of the old warehouse. Most of the windows had been broken and there was broken glass all over the place, along with boxes full of trash that looked like it had been there for a long time, and a smell that was unbearable.

"Tommy, you sure this is the right place?" asked Justin as they all got out of the car.

Tommy looked around the place. It looked abandoned to him, but yet it didn't seem like a base of operations somehow. But that didn't mean this wasn't the place. "It has to be, it's the only abandoned place on Dawn St."

"It's too quiet if you ask me," answered Justin.

Jen walked around trying to peer into one of the windows to see if she could see anything. "A little too quiet…" and not a moment later cyclobots came out of nowhere and began circling around them.

The three huddled together getting into fighting stances. "Friends of yours?" asked Justin taking a quick glance at Jen.

"They're cyclobots, Sy-Kee somehow must have created them," answered Jen.

"Great, just what we need, robotic putty wanna-bees," muttered Tommy.

"Jen, I think it's time we evened out the odds," declared Justin, getting ready to activate his turbo morpher.

"Right!"

Just as the two were about to morph, Sy-Kee stepped forward with Jen in his grasp. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," shouted Sy-Kee.

Frozen and stunned right in their tracks, both Justin and Jen dropped their arms down to their sides. The three looked at each other and then back to Sy-Kee and Jen.


No one was sure how much time had gone by since the others had left. A half hour, an hour, no one was too sure or wanted to check the time. It seemed like hours, maybe even days that had passed.

The one who seemed to be taking this the hardest was Wes, his concern for Jen and his unborn child was very noticeable to everyone as he tapped his feet while tapping his fingers on his knees, like a child who couldn't sit still. Mr. Collins, who was sitting next to his son, placed his hand on his son's knee to stop him from shaking, like any parent went do. Wes glanced at his father briefly and then stopped shaking. The quietness was starting to get to him. He was beginning to feel anxious and paranoid. Not being able to take another moment of this, Wes quickly stood up. But to his very surprise everyone stood up with him. Wes stared at them questioningly, all eyes were on him. Everyone was looking at him as if he were ill or had some health problem. Shaking his head at the sight, he began to take a few steps. And yet again to his surprise everyone else had taken a few steps towards him. Wes turned around looking at them; he laughed abruptly. "Guys, I'm just going to the bathroom." He then took a few more steps, but again he turned around and found them all still following him. Finally he began to realize what their strange behavior was for. "I'm not going to take off."

All of them eyed him, giving that 'yeah right' attitude. They all knew Wes well enough not to believe that statement. It even appeared little Tom and Trent knew him all too well; they were giving him the same look as everyone else.

"I've heard that one before," remarked Eric, knowing that on more then one occasion Wes had said one thing and done another.

"Come on guys! I really have to go..." Wes just shook his head. "What is it going to take?"

Everyone looked at each other for a moment. Wes watched as smiles appeared on their faces that's when he realized what they were all thinking. "Oh no! You guys are not coming with me to the bathroom."

"Sorry Wes, but we don't have much of a choice," said Jason...

Wes looked over at his dad in protest. "DAD!" he pouted.

"Sorry son, but you really don't give any of us much of a choice. It's for your own good."

"And I thought going as a group in grade school was bad, this is worse," muttered Wes as he made his way down the hall, with everyone following him.

"This of it this way Wes, we could all be going with you in the shower," remarked Rocky.

"ROCKY!" everyone yelled.


"You have what you want, so let Jen go," Tommy dryly remarked, looking over at Sy-Kee harshly, as a group of four cyclobots were holding on to him, arms behind his back. Jen and Justin were in the same situation as Tommy, having cyclobots holding onto them from behind.

Sy-Kee laughed darkly, as he tightened his grip around Jen's wrist. "Did you really think I would let her go?" Sy-Kee then shoved Jen over to a group of cyclobots.

"You liar! You gave us your word that you would let her go if we surrendered to you!" shouted Jen's double.

"You should know better than to trust the word of a CellBorg," said a voice. A moment later Cy-Core came walking into the picture and now was standing between Sy-Kee and the rangers.

Cy-Core turned around and eyed the three and Jen, his look looked seemed cold and hard. Tommy bowed his had down, along with Justin and their Jen. Had Cy-Core betrayed them? Had this all been just a trap to get them? But then why would Wes have said they could trust him?

"Cy-Core?" called Sy-Kee.

Cy-Core glanced once more at the four rangers before turning around to face Sy-Kee. "Sy-Kee, it's been a long time."

"Not long enough." He quickly drew his blaster out pointing it at Cy-Core.

Cy-Core stepped forward. "Sy-Kee, it's me, Cy-Core, your old friend, your adviser, second in command."

"Try traitor!" shouted Sy-Kee as he began to power up his blaster.

"You're still not mad about that, are you?"

"You freed our prisoner, the red ranger. If that's not being a traitor then I don't know what is," remarked Sy-Kee.

"You still got him though, you killed him, and to top it off you almost got his girlfriend."

It took several moments until Sy-Kee lowered his blaster. "Alright. What do you want, Cy-Core, but make it quick. I have rangers to kill."

"I want to kill them," answered Cy-Core.

"What?" answered Sy-Kee.

Cy-Core turned around so he was facing the four. "It was I who made sure those three came to you. I tricked them into thinking I was their friend so that they would trust me. And they all believed me; such fools," laughed Cy-Core evilly.

"You lied to us," cried Jen, feeling very hurt by this. If he had lied to them, could the conversation between Wes and him been a lie too?

Cy-Core took a few steps forward. "Like I said, you cannot trust a CellBorg. You didn't listen well enough, pink ranger, and now you, your friends, and your double will all perish and soon after your other friends as well."

Sy-Kee laughed darkly. He walked up to Cy-Core placing his hand on his shoulder. "Go ahead and do your worst," said Sy-Kee as he handed Cy-Core his blaster.

"Oh I will, master. You have my word." Cy-Core then stepped closer looking at the rangers, his eyes were glowing a dark shade of red. He slowly began to raise the blaster gun up and pointed it right at Tommy.

"Traitor! Eric was right, we shouldn't have trusted you," remarked Tommy harshly, feeling hurt and betrayed.

"I'm sorry you feel that way," replied Cy-Core.

"I can't believe this is happening," said Justin softly.

"I'm so sorry, Wes," said Jen all too softly. She had told him that Jen would be okay, that he would get her back, but now it seemed she would not only be breaking her promise to her own Wes, but also to the Wes of this world as well.

"Oh Wes.." cried Jen, knowing that at any moment her life would be over and she would never see him again, never be able to tell him that she was sorry for the way she had acted and how much she loved him.

Cy-Core eyed Tommy, getting ready to blast him away. "Any last words?" And in that moment Tommy saw something change in Cy-Cores eyes. He wasn't sure what to make of it, he looked at him questioningly. "Looks like your time is up, rangers, judgment day has come.." And in that instant Cy-Core blasted the weapon.

Tommy slowly opened his eyes, he had heard the blast but felt nothing. He looked to his side. Cy-Core hadn't hit him, but had hit one of the cyclobots that had been holding on to him. The former leader of the power rangers looked at Cy-Core shocked and even surprised. He had been on their side all along, he had been telling the truth.

"WHAT! Cy-Core, you were supposed to hit the rangers not the robots!" yelled Sy-Kee.

Ignoring the mighty CellBorg, Cy-Core continued to blast away the cyclobots that were holding the others back. Once Jen and Justin had been freed, the two got into a fighting stance and morphed into the pink time ranger and blue turbo ranger.

"Would someone mind telling me what going on?" asked Jen. Why of all things was a CellBorg helping them? Tommy ran over to her, knowing with her being pregnant and not being able to morph she was vulnerable.

"I'll explain later, but I have to get you to safety," he said as he grabbed hold of her wrist and started running towards an opening, but more cyclobots showed up, blocking the direction they were headed. They turned around and found more cyclobots surrounding them. "Think you're up for a fight?"

"Like I have a choice," replied Jen, as they both got into fighting stances.

As the rangers were fighting off the army of cyclobots, the two CellBorgs faced each other. Once upon a time they had been friends, allies, on the same team, but something had changed, for better or for worse, what was done is done.

"Well, I never thought it would come to this, but it looks like you leave me with no choice, Cy-Core. CellBorg or not, you're going down."

"As long as you go down with me," remarked Cy-Core, as he tossed the blaster to the side and charged right at Sy-Kee.

Surprisingly enough, the rangers were finding the cyclobots easy to defeat. They might look like cyclobots, but they sure were not the same as the ones Frax had created. Their fighting style was quite different, almost sloppy, they might be strong, but strength isn't everything.

With Justin and Jen fighting in the heart of the battle they were taking cyclobots down left and right. Tommy and Jen hung back, using the small hand blaster Tommy had with him. Together the two blasted their weapon hitting the cyclobots right on target.

Cy-Core and Sy-Kee were in a heated battle, throwing punches and kicks at each other with enormous power. Sparks flew every time one or the other made contact with a punch or a kick.

"You are good, but I am far better. You have let the human part in you make you weak," mocked Sy-Kee, as he grabbed hold of Cy-Core, putting one of his arms around his neck and the other around his chest.

"Perhaps, but if there is one thing I have learned, it is that good always prevails," as his elbow struck him in the gut. It was a powerful strike, bright blue flashes emerged, almost shaking the very ground around them.

Tommy and the others almost lost their balance. That move seemed to take care of the last few cyclobots. The four rangers looked over at the two. They could see Sy-Kee falling back a few feet, but he did not appear to be going down.

Cy-Core turned around and found the rangers staring at them. "Leave, rangers, this is my battle."

The pink time force ranger stepped forward. "No, this is my battle, I promised Wes I would be the one to take him down!" declared Jen, she had never broken a promise and she did not intend to start.

"And I promised him I would make sure you would live." Before the pink ranger could say another word, Cy-Core pulled out a small blaster and shot her. The others watched as her body went limp and demorphed. Justin caught her before she fell to the ground.

"What did you do to her?" yelled Justin.

"She'll be fine, just get her out of here!" Cy-Core turned around and found that Sy-Kee was beginning to remover.

By now Tommy and Jen had ran over to Justin and the now unconscious Jen. "What about you?" asked Tommy.

Cy-Core turned around to face them once more. "Forget about me. After this there will be no CellBorgs left to remember. I am sorry to tell you, you have no way of going back home, I've closed the portal. Now leave, before it's too late." Cy-Core then turned back around, getting ready to once more face Sy-Kee.

For a moment they just stood there watching as the two CellBorgs faced each other. "Come on, you heard him, let's get to safety," ordered Tommy as he helped Justin carry their companion.

"Now it's just you and me, Sy-Kee," declared Cy-Core.

Sy-Kee laughed as he got into a fighting stance and began to power up, a red glow shone around his body and his eyes grew darker. "Are you really willing to sacrifice your life to save these humans?"

"If that's what it takes."

"You're even more foolish than I thought."


"We should be fine here," said Tommy as he and Justin laid Jen down on the sidewalk. He checked her over to make sure she was breathing.

"Is she?" asked Justin.

"She's fine. She's going to be just fine, whatever he did knocked her out."

"Someone mind telling me who that guy was? Why did he help us? And where's Wes, he isn't….."

"No, he isn't mad at you, more like worried sick," answered Tommy.

"Then why…" she was yet again cut off by Tommy.

"Made him stay behind, but he didn't want to. But he knew it's what you would have wanted," smiled Tommy.

Jen seemed shocked to say the least. "I don't believe it, he actually listened."

Tommy placed his hand on her shoulder. "Yeah he did."

"Huh.." she slowly opened her eyes to find faces looking at her; everything was blurry at first. "Where am I? What happened….Wait, Sy-Kee…" She started to get up but Tommy pushed her back down.

"Easy, Jen. And don't worry, Cy-Core is taking care of Sy-Kee as we speak."

"But I'm supposed to be the one to take Sy-Kee down. I promised…" she started to cry, as the other Jen cut her off.

"What would he want you to do?"

The two Jens looked at each other, as if they were reading each other's minds. Jen sighed heavily; as much as it hurt she knew she was right. "He'd want me to live." She bowed her head down. "Even if that means having to live without him."

There was a moment of silence, and then Justin turned back in the direction they had come from.

"I wonder what happening?"


The battle between the two CellBorgs was still going on, both showed signs of weariness and defeat. The battle would be over soon, the question was which side would win. Good or evil? One sudden move could mean victory or defeat.

Cy-Core was missing one of his eyes. Sy-Kee had managed to punch him right in the face, causing his right eye to shatter, but he would not let that slow him down. He would keep on fighting; he would not stop, not until Sy-Kee was finished once and for all.

"You have disgraced the CellBorg race, Cy-Core, you are nothing more but a waste of machinery, a traitor!" mocked Sy-Kee.

Cy-Core stepped forward. "You made me a traitor the day you had me destroy my own kind!"

The two then lunged at each other, punching and kicking, blasts were going all over the place, as the two rolled around on the ground. Once Cy-Core had the upper hand, he locked his body onto that of Sy-Kee, pinning him and holding him to the ground. "It ends here, Sy-Kee!" Cy-Core declared.

"Get off of me, you fool!" shouted Sy-Kee as he tried to push Cy-Core off of him, but was unable.

"Sorry, old friend, but I have to do this," Cy-Core then began to power up. The one eye he had left began to blink on and off. "Self-destruct mode on." And not a moment later, a huge explosion emerged.


"Woo!" yelled Justin as they all saw the explosion, they could see smoke and fire from the location they had been had just a short time ago. "Do you think?" asked Justin.

"Only one way to find out," said Tommy. He looked down at Jen who was still lying on the ground, and held out his hand. "You up for it?"

She nodded her head. "Yeah. I have to know, it's the only way I'll be able to go on."

The four walked to the location where the two CellBorgs had been fighting. Nothing was left, not even the car they had driven in was there. It had been destroyed in the blast along with Cy-Core and Sy-Kee; all they could find were scraps of metal. "It's over. It's really over," said Tommy.

"It will never be over, but we'll go on with our lives," said Jen softly, as she looked at what were the remains of Cy-Core and Sy-Kee. She had always thought she would be happy and that everything would be okay once Sy-Kee was defeated. But it wasn't, the pain she still had in her heart was still there, it hadn't gone away. The truth is, you might be able to take away the monster, but you cannot undo what the monster has done. Her Wes was still dead.

Jen walked up behind her and placed her hand on her shoulder. Knowing that it could have been her.

"Hey, what's this?" asked Justin, as he picked up an oval shaped object and began to brush away the ash.

"My morpher, it must have survived the explosion," said Jen as she took the morpher from Justin's hands.

Tommy took one more look around, sighing heavily. A part of him actually believed that once Sy-Kee had been destroyed, that they would all come back, but he knew that was unrealistic. "Well, I think it's about time we got you home," said Tommy looking over at the Jen of this world.

"Sounds good. I've got someone to apologize to."

"Home?" said the other Jen softly. "We don't have a home to go home to."

Justin turned to Tommy. "She's right, where are we going to go? We can't stay here."

Jen was silent for a moment and then something came to her. Perhaps there was one place they could stay. "I may know of one place."

They all turned, looking at her, but it was only the other Jen who had an idea as to what place that was.
