A/N: This takes place only days after "Endings part 2"


Location: unknown

Sky stepped through the other side of the wormhole, only to discover there wasn't much of a difference. He was in still in the industrial district, the buildings were all in the same place, and it was even the same time of day. He turned around getting a look at the wormhole itself, and the only difference he saw was that Syd was nowhere to be found. There was a feeling of nausea, as if he'd just gotten off a roller coaster, but it quickly passed.

As soon as he turned around, he saw himself face to face with the barrel of a disrupter riffle.

"Stop right where you are, you're under arrest!" a voice said.

Sky raised his hands slowly, hoping not to appear hostile. He was relieved to see that they were rangers, but his relief quick faded and was replaced with concerned when he realized it was…

"The A Squad? But how…"

"By order of Emperor Gruum, you're under arrest," the red ranger told him.

The green and yellow rangers pointed their weapons at him as the red ranger approached him, holding up a morpher. "Judgment time! Guilty!" she said.

"What? Guilty? Of what? You didn't accuse me of anything yet."

"Do you really think it matters?" she snapped.

"Hold it right there!" another voice said.

Before Sky could turn around to see where the voice was coming from, three rangers appeared, standing in-between Sky and the A-Squad. Sky watched on awkwardly as the red B-Squad rangers led his team against the A-Squad. The red ranger landed a spinning kick to the A-Squad leader, knocking the weapon out her hand. The blue ranger was right there, catching the weapon and blasting the A-Squad leader in the chest. It was enough to make her stumble back, and the remaining A-Squad rangers helped her up.

"I don't have time for this today. There will be another time B-Squad!" the red ranger said as the A-Squad hurried away.

"Yeah, and we'll just kick your asses again!" the green ranger commented.

Finally, the red ranger turned to Sky, staring him up and down. "Power down!" he called out. In a flash, the uniform vanished and was replaced by an SPD uniform, but it wasn't at all like the uniform Sky was use to. It was predominately white with black trim, and a red stripe down the left arm. Sky took a step back, getting a good look at him.

"Bridge?" he inquired.

"Um, yeah. Sky?" he replied.

"You're red ranger? So who is…" he turned his attention to the blue ranger, who powered down, revealing… "Jack?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"The anomaly is a wormhole. My guess is it's a gateway between… " he was interrupted as the green ranger who walked up to him, powering down.

Sky was in shock to see Syd with dark brown hair and in a green SPD uniform. "I can't believe its really you," she cried, wrapping her arms around him.

It was awkward for Sky, having Syd in his arms. Though it was her in every aspect, it wasn't really his Syd. "Yeah, its me."

"I thought I'd lost you forever," she sighed.

Sky politely backed away slowly, unsure of how to react. "I'm not real clear on what's going on here, but…"

"I don't think this is our Sky, Syd," Jack pointed out.

"What? How could it not be our Sky?"

"If the anomaly isn't an anomaly at all, it could be a wormhole, a gateway between our reality and a different reality. In that reality, Sky is the red ranger," Bridge concluded.

Syd turned around, holding her head down in disappointment. "So that means this Sky isn't…"

"I'm sorry Syd, but I don't think so."

"I'm a little confused here, can someone explain to me what's going on?" Sky asked.

"Come on, we'll get back to SPD headquarters and the commander and try to figure out what to do," Jack suggested.


SPD headquarters, for the most part, looked exactly the same, but with some minor differences. The halls were much darker, and everyone had on completely different uniforms. As they walked down the corridors on their way to the command center, Sky couldn't help but notice a lack of SPD personnel on duty. Normally, there were a dozen or so officers scrambling back and forth between duty shifts, but the halls were almost all by deserted.

Finally, they came to the command center. The doors slid open, and the three officers stopped in behind of Dr. Kat Manx, who had their back to them as she worked at one of the stations.

"Sir, I think you should have a look at this," Bridge said.

"I just need to finish this alignment, how did the search go? Did you…" she turned around, getting a good look at Sky. Sky noticed that her hair was considerably longer than he remembered, and there was something about her eyes. She looked tired, as if the weight of the world was on her shoulders. "Sky? Oh my God, Sky," she said, rushing over to him and wrapping her arms around him.

"Its not our Sky," Syd sighed.

"What?"

"The anomaly is a wormhole. This Sky is from another reality," Jack told her.

Dr. Manx took a step back, regaining her composure. "I see," she straightened out her uniform. "Any thoughts on how to close this wormhole before anything else come through? The last thing we need is unwelcome guests," she turned to Sky. "No offense."

"None taken."

"Boom was working on it, but after what happened, I don't think his heart is into it," Syd said.

"Can someone please tell me what's going on?" Sky asked with a puzzled look on his face. "And where is Commander Cruger?"

The three of them looked at one another, and then back at Dr. Manx, who had a monotone expression on her face. "Jack, why don't you and Bridge go check on Boom's progress? Officer Tate and I will fill in our guest on what's going on," she said.

"Yes sir," they said in unison as they saluted, then walked out the room.

Sky looked over at Syd. "Did she just call you Officer Tate? Am I missing something?" he asked.

Dr. Manx took a step forward, putting her hand on his shoulder.

"About six months ago, Sky… our Sky lead the rangers into a battle against the A-Squad. The building they were fighting in collapsed, and several officers were killed. We never found Sky's body, but his helmet was found badly damaged. We continued to search for him, but there were no signs of him at all. It was as though he disappeared. We were all devastated by his disappearance, but Syd probably more so than the rest of us. Syd was…" she paused.

"… his wife," Syd sighed with a tear in her eye.

"Oh my God, I…" he stopped, knowing there was nothing he could say to comfort her.

"An anomaly like the one you came through was detected during that battle, so when we saw it again, we thought it was you trying to find a way back," Dr. Manx added.

"I came through the wormhole thinking it was my father trying to find his way back, but I guess I was wrong," he sighed.

"I'm sorry."

"So, in this reality I was married to Syd, and Bridge is red ranger?"

"Yes, he was promoted when you… disappeared. Jack was promoted to blue ranger, and Syd became the green ranger," she said.

"So where is Z and Commander Cruger?" he asked.

They both paused.

"Commander Cruger was killed in the battle with Omni a few weeks ago. Z was the first to encounter the anomaly you came through, and it had an adverse effect on her. She replicated, but there was no way to know which of them was which. Boom managed to find a way to stabilize their DNA so that both of them could exist, but they both died before we had a chance to use it," she sighed.

"The same thing happened in my reality, but we don't have a way to cure her yet," he said.

"Our priority has been to close the anomaly before it implodes. We predict that an implosion will take out half of the city, if not more," Dr. Manx said.

"I think we may be able to help each other," he pulled a small device out his pocket. "This is a device Boom made. Its suppose to emit a frequency that will close the wormhole, but it has to be done on both sides," he told them, handing the device to her.

Dr. Manx looked at it carefully. "I had a theory about a mechanism like this, but I hadn't worked out the calculations for it. This should do it, this can close the anomaly," she said.

"I'll leave this one here with you, then go back through the wormhole and use the second device to collapse it, but before I do, I need that anti-dote that your scientists created for Z. It may not be able to do anything for your Z, but it just may save mine," he said.

"Very well. I'll have the scientists prepare the anti-dote, and we'll meet at the anomaly in twenty minutes," she turned to Syd. "Take him to the science lab, then get back to the industrial district."

"Yes sir!"


The two of them walked down the corridor in silence, unsure of what to say to one another. Syd wanted nothing more than to wrap her arms around him and tell him how much she missed but, but it wasn't her Sky. For months she'd held on to the idea that he was alive somewhere out there, searching for a way to come back to him, and she was just about to give up hope until this Sky came into her life.

"So…" he said, breaking the silence between them. "How long were we… I mean, you and Sky married?"

"We were married before we got promoted to B-Squad. I always thought that Bridge and Z would get married before we did, but…"

"Wait a sec… Bridge and Z were together?"

"Longer than Sky and I were. Those two were complete opposites, but they found a way to make it work. Our plan was to make A-Squad together Sky would be red ranger and we'd all serve together until Commander Cruger retired, then he'd take over command of SPD headquarters and Bridge would be red ranger, but…"

"In my reality, we captured the A-Squad and defeated Gruum. Didn't you guys do that here too?"

"No. When A-Squad returned, we were overwhelmed. Omni's body was completed, and his attack nearly crippled SPD. If it wasn't for Commander Cruger sacrificing himself to stop Omni, SPD would have fallen to Gruuum. "Gruum is still out there, and the A-Squad are his generals. They control most of the city, and central command thinks it's just a matter of time before SPD crumbles," she said.

"There has to be something we can do to stop this."

"There isn't, not really. Our equipment is outdated, and we're a ranger short. Even if Z wasn't gone, it would still almost impossible to stop Gruum at this point," she stopped, turning to him and grabbing his hand. "You could always stay here and help us fight. We could use an experienced ranger," she paused. "And it would be nice to have you back… kinda," she sighed.

"I have to get back to my own reality. My Syd is waiting for me," he said.

"Are we married in your reality too?"

"No, we're not even dating officially. But I've thought about what it would be like," he admitted.

"Your Syd is lucky to have you," she told him.

The two of them walked into the science lab, where Boom rushed over to them with a look of excitement on his face.

"Kat said you were back and I didn't believe it. Oh my gosh, its great to see you Sky," he said cheerfully.

"Um, Boom, I…"

"We never gave up hope on you Sky, never. Now that you're back, you can take your old job back as red ranger!"

"Boom, I'm not…"

"And I know your son will be glad to see you," he said.

Sky turned to Syd. "We have a son?"

"Yes," she admitted.

"What? Does Sky have amnesia or something?" he put his hand on Sky's shoulder. "I'm Boom, the gadget inspector for SPD, do… you… remember… me?" he asked him, talking very slowly.

"I don't have amnesia Boom."

"So why don't you remember Keith?"

"Boom, it's a long story, can you just give us the anti-dote you had for Z please?" Syd asked him.

Sky could hear the pain in her voice, and it disturbed him. He wondered if Syd, in his reality, had feelings for her that came close to what this Syd felt for her husband. And if so, how did he not notice for all this time?

"Sure, one sec," he said, rushing over.

"You have to excuse him, he's…"

"He's Boom," Sky said, smirking slightly.

"I wasn't going to tell you about Keith, I didn't want to freak you out," she said. "Besides, I didn't…"

"You don't have to explain it to me, I understand," he wrapped his arm around her. "I'm sorry things didn't work out for you and Sky the way you wanted them to, but if your Sky is anything like me, he'd tell you to stay strong and not give up. He'd want you to make sure his son never forgot the kind of man he was," he told her.

"I know," she said, trying to hold back her tears, but without success.

Boom hurried back over to them with two small flasks in hand, each of them filled with a brown-ish fluid. "I don't know much about auras or anything, but I do know that this would have stabilized both the Zs enough to allow them to live normal lives. Why do we need this?" Boom asked.

"We're going to help a friend of mine."
