1Time for Time Force

Chapter 4

2025

Z was sitting in the Common Room alone, though the quietness was beginning to creep her out. She looked back and forth, hoping to see Syd painting her fingernails or even Bridge and Sky kissing.

She gave a heavy sigh. "I really miss watching two hot guys kissing... Life is so cruel."

Just then, Cruger walked in the room and cleared his voice, so Z quickly stood up to give a salute. "How are you doing, cadet?" he asked.

Z fidgeted a little where she was standing. "I miss my friends, sir. Any luck finding them?" she asked hopefully.

Cruger shook his head solemnly. "Unfortunately, the wormhole took them away to an unknown time. We haven't been able to locate them." At this, Z lowered her head, so Cruger stepped forward and placed a hand on her shoulder. "But I do have some good news."

Z looked up at him. "What is it, sir?"

"We made contact with Time Force not too long ago, and they agreed to help us find our missing friends."

Z felt a tear go down her check. "Will they be able to find them?"

A small smile appeared on Cruger's face. "They have had more exertions in time-travel than we have. In fact, we should be hearing from them soon." At that moment, Kat's voice came over the intercom.

"Z and Cruger, report to the command center right a way." Without saying a word, the pair left the room.

"What is it, Kat?" asked Cruger as he entered the room, followed closely by Z.

Kat turned to look at them, a smile on her face. "Trip from Time Force is on the tele-screen."

Cruger and Z rushed forward. "Hello, Trip. It's an honor to talk to you," said Cruger.

Trip nodded. "That's good to hear, especially since I have some good news for you guys. We found your friends." Z did a little jump.

"Where are they?" wondered Cruger.

"They're with the Dino Rangers in 2004, but--" Trip suddenly end his sentence.

Z, Cruger, and Kat looked at each other. "But what?" asked Z, her face showing signs of worry.

Trip closed his eyes and said, "The timeline changed a little -- not enough to change the future, but enough to wake a great evil."

"What great evil?" Cruger asked.

Trip crossed his arms. "Lothor is still alive. Mesogog is using him to create the ultimate weapon." The shock made Z put her hands on her mouth to cover her gasp, while Cruger pushed aside everything he was feeling at the moment.

"What can we do?" he asked.

Trip cracked his neck and said, "We're coming in the time ship to your era, and then head to 2004 to help the others."

Cruger nodded. "When can we expect you?"

Trip gave a small smile. "It will be about two days from now at 4:00 PM in front of the Command Center. Be ready." Then the screen went blank and a moment of uneasy quiet followed.

"What should we do now, sir?" asked Z.

Cruger turned toward her and said, "We wait. That's all we can do for now. Dismissed." He then walked out of the Command Center, soon followed by Z.

2004

Sky, sitting on the couch, was quietly reading a book. At that same moment, Jason and Syd were talking and making sandwiches in the kitchen, while Bridge was working on the Wind morphers over at the Dino lab.

"Sky, what kind of sandwiches do you want?" Syd asked from the kitchen.

"Turkey," he answered. When there was a knock at the door a moment later, Sky put down his book and went to answer it. "Who is it?" he called.

"Wes and Eric of Time Force," was the answer. Sky opened the door and there stood Wes and Eric, dressed in there Silver Guardians uniforms.

Sky looked them over for a second. "Come in," he said, stepping aside to let them in.

Just then, Jason walked out of the kitchen. "Hey, guys. How are you doing?" he asked as he high-fived each of them.

"Doing good," Eric answered. "You know, we just got a phone call from Tommy about some future Power Rangers that are staying here?"

Sky's hand rose. "That would be me. My name is Sky; that's Syd." Sky pointed at kitchen to the blonde making sandwiches. "And Bridge is down in the lab." He then sat down on the couch, while Eric and Wes just stood there.

"Tommy asked us to call Time Force in the year 3000," said Eric, cutting straight to the point, which surprised Sky.

"Oh, and did you call?"

Wes nodded. "I called on the way here. Trip told me that they'd be coming over with the rest of SPD in two days. He also warned us about a great evil that's about a rise in this time."

Hmm. From happy to worried in four seconds flat; that must be a new world record.

"Oh. Did they tell you what it was?" asked a concerned Sky.

Wes shook his head. "Just told us to keep on our guard and to stay in this area until they arrive." Sky nodded his head.

Just then, Bridge walked the stairs with a grin on his face. Sky turned toward him. "And why are you so happy?"

Bridge went toward him and placed a hand on each shoulder. "I think I found a way to fix the morphers."

Eric and Wes looked at each other. "The morphers?" they asked.

Bridge looked to them. "Let me guess. Eric and Wes of Time Force?" The two nodded. Bridge looked them dead in the eyes and said, "I'm fixing the Wind morphers for the Ninja Storm Rangers."

"Oh. Tommy told us about them last year. Aren't they--?"

Bridge held a hand up to cut Wes off. "Don't think about it too much. You might hurt your brain." Everyone in the room laughed. "So where was I? Oh, yeah. I found a way to fix the Wind morphers, but I need Dr. O to call someone for me," he said just before the front door opened.

"Call who?" asked Tommy, who threw his bag on the table. He then moved forward to shake Wes and Eric's hands.

Bridge turned to look at him and sighed. "I need you to call the LightSpeed Rescue Power Rangers."
