"Demetrius, my son." Stanislav said waking his sleeping protégé. "It is
time."
"What are your orders?" Demetrius asked.
"Destroy the little girl." Stanislav said emotionlessly.
"As you command." Demetrius said saluting.
Demetrius activated the time portal. He turned and saluted Stanislav again. "Don't worry sir, I will not fail again." He turned and disappeared through the portal.
"So what are we waiting for?" Wes asked anxiously.
"He's not in this time line yet I would sense it." Alex answered.
"How?" Wes asked?
"Whenever someone from our own timeline comes into a timeline we are currently in we know. It's a kind of failsafe warning system we had built into us when we were engineered." Jen explained.
"So why can't they engineer you to come back to us." Wes answered bitterly.
"I'm sorry Wes, I didn't mean to cause you so much pain." Jen said touching his shoulder.
He pulled away. "You're not my Jen."
"I want to remember truly I do." Jen said quietly. "It's just that I don't know how. Marie was supposed to have met me on the bluffs outside Turtle Cove yesterday at dawn so I could be ready for today."
"She didn't." Alex said surprised.
"No, I don't know where she is. I can't sense her here any more. I think she may have gone back to the year 3000." Jen said sadly. "Now, I've lost everything that I once had. I hate Timeforce and I hate being a Ranger."
"Jen, don't say that." Alex said turning her to face him.
"Why? It's true." Jen sobbed.
"Because, we're going to fix this. I swear it to you." Alex said hugging her fiercely.
Wes watched them painfully. The woman who was once his wife now depended on another. "I've lost her forever." He thought out loud as a tear slipped down his cheek, not only for himself but for his children too.
"No you haven't Wes." Alex said stepping away from Jen. "It's true I have always loved Jen. She isn't the one for me anymore. She belongs to you. She always has. I've accepted it and I love someone else. But I can't go on knowing she's miserable because of what Timeforce has forced her to do. I promise you Wes, your children will have their mother back and your wife will return to you."
Alex extended his hand to Wes. Wes took it. "We're brothers you and I. Without you I wouldn't be here." Alex said solemnly nodding his head at Wes.
Wes stared at him for a moment in disbelief. He was sure Alex would take this chance to win Jennifer back. He didn't and that made him respect him even more. Wes nodded back.
A dizzy feeling swept over Alex. He noticed Jen's expression. Jen turned to him and said "He's here."
"What are your orders?" Demetrius asked.
