Chapter 6

"What The Future Holds"

"Ms. Tori Hanson, is it?" The female brunette begins questioning the blonde as they set her on a steel chair, still in handcuffs. "What were you doing in front of SPD Headquarters around 8 o'clock in the evening?"

Annoyed, Tori looks up at her reluctantly after going over the questions a few times. "I already told you. We were looking for something."

"And what is it that you were looking for?"

"We were looking for a scroll, which brought us here to the year 2020." She replies impatiently with a heavy groan. She continues. "We came from the year 2004 through a time portal." Jack and Z raised their eyebrows as Tori nods her head in dismay, knowing they weren't convinced with her explanation due to their facial expressions. At that point, the irritated blonde has already given up. "What is the point of this?" She retorts. "You're not gonna believe my story."

"Just keep going. We're listening."

Tori heaves another deep sigh. "Alright. Well, it was the guys idea to travel through time and have fun with it. So...once the portal led us here, I wanted to go home, but Dustin lost the scroll and we need it in order for us to go back home to the year 2004."

"Well that sucks."

"No really." She stated out of sarcasm. "Which is why we need to find it."

Jack nods his head. "Alright. We'll do whatever we can."

"So you believe me?"

There was a moment of silence. "Well...just out of curiosity," he grins, "are you seeing anybody?"

"Jack!" Z scoffs while smacking him lightly on the shoulder.

"What! It's just a question."

She rolls her eyes. "I should've known."

"Look, even if i was ever interested I'd still be much older than you." Tori points out and smirks.

Jack shrugged his shoulders at the thought. "It wouldn't matter as long as you're in this time period right?"

Tori narrows her eyes and slowly turns to Z. "Is he always like this?"

She chuckles. "You haven't seen anything yet."

"Oh great." The blonde pursed her lip and frowns. "Now I'm really desperate to go home."

"Hey!" Jack retorts offensively. "I happened to be a really nice guy."

"Yeah, who scares people." Z added as he sends her a dirty look. Just then, Sky, Bridge, and Syd made their return but this time they brought company.

"Tori!" The blonde looks up in surprise as a small smile appeared on her face. Sky, Bridge, and Syd had a hold of them in handcuffs as they situated them on vacant steel chairs next to Tori. Dustin turns to his female friend. "Dude, what happened?"

"Yeah, you got us all worried." Hunter adds in concern.

Tori sighs. "Don't ask."

The goofball scoffs. "Oh right. You left and turned us all in! Good job!"

She faces him. "First of all, I left because you guys were starting to irritate me. Then they found me wandering all by myself, and poof, here I am. By the way," Tori pauses as she stares at Hunter and abruptly kicks the jacket towards his direction, "I won't be needing this anymore."

He glares in response. "You still mad or something?"

"I'm not mad." She argues back.

"Oh I'm sorry. Jealous?"

Tori laughs pathetically. "Jealous? Just because we're hanging out more often than before doesn't mean I'm attracted to you."

"But you're jealous."

She nods her head in dismay. "You don't know what you're talking about, Hunter."

"Enough!" Sky snaps out of nowhere as the room fell silent. "Geez...are you two always like this? He questioned. "Maybe you do like each other."

"Can we just get right on topic so we can get out of here?" Tori snarls irritably.

"Dude, we didn't even do anything wrong." Dustin proclaims their innocence. "Why do we have to go through all this? I mean, can you prove that we're guilty?"

Bridge chuckles. "Actually we can."

"What? Through a lie detector test?" Hunter thought out of sarcasm.

"No." Syd answers. "Through a judgment scanner."

"A what?"

Jack smirks as he took out his SPD judgment scanner. Just before they begun the process, Doctor Kat Manx enters the room and stops them from doing the test. "Wait." She interrupted. "You don't have to do that. They're innocent."

B-squad gave each other puzzled looks. "But how do you know, Kat?"

She took out a mini remote control and released the handcuffs around their wrist. Shane, Dustin, Tori, and Hunter immediately took them off, relieved from the pain. "I did some researching and they happen to be former power rangers. Says so in their files."

"Power Rangers?" B-squad chorused in unison.

"Yes, Wind and Thunder Rangers. Secret Ninjas, protectors of the galaxy. Correct?" Kat Manx turns to them.

"Former Power Rangers. So can we go now?"

"Hold on a minute." Dustin stops Tori and looks straightly at Dr. Manx. "Those files you have there," he points out curiously, "it has all our information?"

She smiles. "Yeah, in fact, I have yours right here." The beautiful Dr. Katherine Manx pulls out his folder and reads off the file. "It says here you're real name is...Waldo?" Tori, Shane, and Hunter snickered silently among themselves. They stopped as soon as Dustin shot them a look. Kat continues on reading. "You're a teacher at the Wind Ninja Academy and recently turned 34 years old."

"34!" He shrieked.

Shane places a hand on the goofball's shoulder. "Dude, we're in the year 2020, so that makes you..."

"Old." Dustin shook his head at the thought. "Okay, what else does it say?"

"Uhh...you are currently divorced."

"Divorced! To who!"

Kat Manx shrugged her shoulders. "Sorry, it doesn't say. The person who divorced you kept her name anonymous. It's confidential information."

"Can she even do that?"

"Yes, only people who work for the government can."

"Give me that." Dustin abruptly takes his folder from off her hand and reads it over. "What? Who in the world would want to leave me and our marriage!"

Hunter looks over his shoulder and reads. "Hey, it says here you're a 2015 U.S. champion in Motorcross freestyle."

"Dude!" Dustin smiles as he looks over it with mere excitement, forgetting all about his failed marriage. "Oh, shoot. It does!"

Syd watches on and pouts. "I wish I was able to see my future."

"Why?" Tori asks curiously nearby. "It just takes away the surprise."

"Yeah, but you can always change the future when it doesn't go your way."

"Whatever."

"Dude!" Their thoughts were interrupted with the excitement coming from Dustin's voice. All eyes turn to him as he looks at Hunter with mere surprise. "It says here you're married too!"

Shane gasps. "No way!"

"Married!" Hunter and Tori exclaimed in unison.

The dirty blonde shook his head. "To who?"

"I don't know." Dustin squints his eyes to read over the name. "It says you're married to...Kira Ford?"

"Kira!" Tori snaps abruptly. "From Reefside?"

"Hey, isn't she a famous singer?" Z thought, recognizing the name. "Her music rocks!"

Dustin and Shane smirks. "I guess so. Dude, I didn't know you were into her."

"I'm not! I barely know her!" Hunter claims out of disbelief. "There has to be a mistake!"

"There is no mistake. Remember, this is your future. It's no longer your past." Dr. Manx tells them. "We keep everyone's information here in SPD for good reference, just in case anyone becomes a suspect."

He looks over at Tori who swiftly turned away from his gaze. She can't seem to get over Hunter's marriage with her former rival during their encounter with the Dino Rangers.

"Tor, do you want to see yours?" Dustin asks while handing her the file. "Who knows? Maybe you become a surf pro afterall."

She brushes it off and crosses her arms. "I don't even want to go near that thing. All I want is the scroll to bring me home." The thought was making her extremely homesick as she sat down against a wall and brought her legs up close to her into a little ball.

"Ah, yes. About the scroll." All eyes turn to Katherine Manx. "SPD cadets have been searching the area. I'm afraid it's missing at this point."

Tori gets right back up on her feet. "What!"

"BUT we're still doing our best to find it. We're searching the entire city as we speak. In the meantime, you must stay here."

"No, you don't understand." Tori refuses. "We have to find that scroll. If we don't, we'll be stuck here forever."

"What do you mean stuck?" Shane faces his blonde companion worriedly.

She bit her bottom lip before answering. "I read somewhere that if the print on the scroll wears out, there's no time left to go back. But I guess none of you knew that!"

"Wait a minute." Bridge stops the tension for a brief moment to think. "Is the scroll brown?"

Tori nods. "Yes."

"And it rolls up right?"

"Yes..."

He pursed his lips. "Okay. Well, when we were turning the guys in...I found this brown, rolled up piece of paper with like nothing on it. Could that be it?"

"Bridge, where did you put it?"

"I thought it wasn't worth anything, so I let this kid have it."

Their mouths fell open.

"What?" Bridge wrinkles his forehead due to the shocking looks he was getting from everyone. "She needed paper to draw on."

Tori covers her face in frustration. "This can't be happening. Sensei is gonna freak when he finds out we took the scroll and used it."

"We're dead." Dustin mumbles worriedly. "And it's all my fault."

"What are we gonna do?"

"You guys can stay here!" Syd suggested excitedly. "We have extra rooms here at SPD. Maybe Commander Cruger could--"

"No way, Syd!" Sky retorts before she could even finish her sentence.

Her lips slightly parted. "What? Why? We can't just leave them."

"Just because they're innocent doesn't mean they can be trusted here."

"You don't make that decision, Cadet Tate." Katherine Manx says in a serious, darken tone. "It's up to Commander Cruger." She turns to the former rangers. "Follow me. We must evaluate each and every one of you. Then we'll have a talk with Commander Cruger about your stay here in SPD."

"This is ridiculous." Sky paces back and forth in front of Z, sitting on the couch once the former rangers left the room with Dr. Katherine Manx. "Commander Cruger is probably gonna put them with us. I mean, what if they take our place?"

She scoffs. "He wouldn't do that, Sky. And will you stop moving? Looking at you is giving me motion sickness."

"How would you know he wouldn't put them in B-squad? He did it with you and Jack."

Z rolls her eyes. "That's because our parents were SPD. He knew that we belong here. And as for them, they don't." Sky stops and looks at her. "I don't see why you're making a big deal about it. We could use the help yah know."

He looks down and sighs. "I guess you're right." Sky takes a seat right next to her.

Meanwhile, Jack and Syd watches on from the other side of the room. "Is it me, or is Sky and Z getting a lot closer?" Cadet Landors questioned as he finds himself looking back and forth at them.

Syd smiles in awed. "Oh yeah. They like each other all right."

"Not Z." Jack chuckles.

"What do you mean?"

"She told me she wasn't attracted to Sky."

"And you believe her?"

Jack furrowed his eyebrows. "Why shouldn't I?"

"Oh come on, Jack. She's in denial with her feelings."

"And how would you know?"

Syd smirks. "I'm a woman. I know all."
