EXPLAINATIONS

so so so so so sorry-i've been caught up in school & work

Disclaimer: don't own a thing

Tymeframe: SPD/IS

KEY: When the ranger team is listed---that is what year it is placed in. So if it is SPD it is set in the future; if its the Astro team then it's in the past.

Last Tyme:

"Ah," mumbled Syd as she came to--intangled in a collection of wires and limbs. "Sky?" she asked as she gently shook the blue SPD ranger awake.

"Syd?" he muttered as he glanced around the room. "Where are we...?" his voice lead off as hetook in the semi-familiar humans who were quietly approaching. "It can't be..."

"Can't be what?" questioned Syd as she turned around in order to see what had drawn his attention. "Who are..."

"Who are you?" demanded Zhane as he held his blaster on the pair. "How did you get aboard the Mega Ship?"

"The what?" asked Syd as she looked between the armed pair. "Where are we? We're SPD, you better return us back to our teammates or else."

"Or else what?" Zhane replied with a grin as he looked over the two intruders.

"Oh," muttered the pink SPD ranger as she placed her hand on the nearby console. "You are so going to regret that," as her hand quickly morphed into the steel-like compound.

"What the?" Cassie said as she backed up from the advancing teen. "What was that?"

"Return us or..."

"Syd-cool it," interupted Sky as he moved between the trio. "Look we're..." his voice lead off as another group entered the room.

"Who are you?" demanded Andros as he moved to stand beside the silver ranger. "How did you get aboard?"

"What...?" Syd yelled--the level of her voice caused RIC to move in front of the two SPD rangers.

"Syd relax!" Sky stated claimly as hererealized the idenities of the seven rangers that was standing before them. "What's going on?" he questioned-puzzled as to why they would pull their weapons on a fellow ranger.

"I don't know!"

"Not you Syd...Andros what are you guys doing on earth?"

Planet: KO-35

Location: MegaShip

Ranger team: Astro

"Ah...do I know you?" questioned Andros as he shared a confused look with his teammates.

"Yeah Sky..." Syd stated uncertainly as she slowly aloud her hand to return to flesh and blood. "Do you know these guys?"

"Yes," the blue SPD ranger stated as he felt caught between loyalties---SPD and the Astro rangers. "What's going on...?" his voice lead off as he took in the strange appearences of the seven teens--keyword teens---the older rangers looked as they did during their tour as rangers. But if that was so then that would have to mean---"We're in the past."

"What a second...time travel?" questioned TJ as the group sat around the table.

"It's possible," stated Andros as he studied the two rangers in front of him.

"Come on you guys, I mean time travel?" Carlos stated in a disbelieving voice.

"It's been done before," revealed the former Queen of Evil as moved from her place againist the bulkhead. "You said that you were trying to defuse a bomb...is it possible that it somehow interated with some of the chemicals that were residing in the warehouse?"

"It's possible," Syd shrugged as she looked over the legendary Astro Ranger Team. There was Andros/Red, TJ/Blue, Carlos/Black, Ashley/Yellow, Cassie/Pink, and Zhane/Silver, as well as the ship's AI: DECA, Alpha, and Karone.But something was missing... "Hey Sky you payed attentionin Power Ranger History--wasn't there 7th ranger on the Astro Ranger team?"

"Yes - Zical..." at the confused looks on the other rangers, including Syd - he was forced to correct himself quickly-but notfast enough. "Phantom."

"Sky..." Syd said uncertainly. "How did you know their names?"

"How do you know Phantom?" questioned TJ as he shared a glance with the former Earth rangers. "And what did you call him...? Zekk'al?"

"Zical," sighed the Blue SPD ranger-knowing that he was caught.

Planet: Earth

Location: Kat's LAB

Ranger team: SPD

"Kat, have you managed to discover what happened to Sydney, and Sky?" questioned Doggie Crugger.

"Not yet Commander," she responded from her position in front of the computer screen. "What I can tell you is that they are no longer in this time."

"Come again?"

"Their in the past."

"Commander, why were we pulled from the field..."

"At ease Cadet Landers," ordered the Commander as he looked over the three teens in front of him. "Both Sydney and Sky are both alive..."

"Where are they..."

"How...?"

"Easy Rangers," Cruger stated as he waited for them to quiet down. "They are not dead...they are mearly lost in the past...somewhere."

"The past?" questioned Z, "but where?"

"That we do not know, Kat is currently looking through the timestream for their Ranger signatures as well as RIC's homing signal."

"How can we help?" asked Bridge.

"While looking for their Ranger ID's is way to find them - we have to assume that their morphers and RIC where somehow damaged in the time rip - we'll need to go into the past and look for them ourself's."

"Alright."

"But remember," he stated as he held his hand up. "You must not reveal that you are from the future. You might meet former Rangers--Rangers whose idenititys have always been a secret-even from those of us who helped build Space Patrol Delta."

"I got it," stated Jack as he glanced at Z and Bridge. "No talking to the locals."
