A/N: This is my third original chapter for TF.
Please read and review.
In the Cryo Prison, Nadira lay in her chair, as two Cyclobots fanned her, while Gluto stared at her, as Ransik opened up a panel.
"It's time for the good ol' Dr. to help us again." he sniggered, picking up a container.
He closed the panel, then approached the Cryo Chamber. Frax came into the room, as Ransik took put a green lizard/iguana/chameleon Mutant called Dr. Scales in the chamber.
"Begin reanimation procedure." Ransik ordered, as he walked away.
The Cyclobot by the chamber's panel began to work on it, as Ransik turned to the chamber. Frax and Gluto both came up behind him, as Nadira turned to the chamber. Smoke began to come out of the chamber, as the light above it turned green, then it opened up, and Dr. Scales came out, coughing slightly.
"What the...?" he coughed.
"Welcome back, Dr. Scales." Ransik smirked.
Dr. Scales turned to him.
"Ransik?!" he gasped, backing away. "What do you want?!"
"You are going to destroy the Power Rangers, Dr." Ransik sneered.
"No!" Dr. Scales gasped. "Forget it! I'd never destroy anyone!"
"If you won't help me willingly, I'll simple make you, like before!" Ransik warned.
"You'll never make me work for you again!" Dr. Scales roared.
Two Cyclobots came towards him from his left as he turned around to them. They both then grabbed his arms, but then he kicked the one on his left in the chest, knocking it down and freeing his arm, allowing him to punch the other in the chest, knocking it back.
"Grab him!" Ransik ordered.
Dr. Scales ran towards the door as four more Cyclobots came towards him, then he pushed one away, knocking it against the wall, before he left the room. He turned left and then ran down the hallway, as the other three chased after him.
"It seems he's determined not to help us." Gluto noted.
"I guess he needs the device I put on him last time?" Frax deduced.
"Indeed." Ransik said. "Get out there with the Cyclobots and find him!"
"As you wish, Master Ransik." Frax said, before he ran off.
Nadira got up and walked towards Ransik, as Frax turned left and followed the Cyclobots.
"Daddy, what device are you talking about?" Nadira asked curiously.
"Oh, you'll see, my dear." Ransik smirked. "You'll see."
Outside, Frax and a dozen Cyclobots were searching the forest.
"Fan out and search!" Frax ordered. "He must be here somewhere!"
Nearby, Dr. Scales ran through the forest, turning back slightly as he ran, before he jumped forward and landed near a pond. He then put some water in his hands, then splashed it on his face, then he looked around.
"Just where the heck am I?" he wondered. "When am I?"
He turned around and saw a few Cyclobots looking around.
"Oh, run now, find out later." he gasped, pulling himself up.
He then ran off as Frax approached the Cyclobots.
"Keep searching for him!" Frax ordered. "He can't have gone far?!"
Two Cyclobots pulled back part of a brush, but found nothing, while another two looked around a tree, but also found nothing.
Dr. Scales kept running, before he spotted the city nearby, making him stop.
"Oh, man! This is defiantly not the year 3000!" he gasped. "I've gotta find help before Frax finds me!"
He ran forward towards the city, hoping to find help.

Power...Rangers! Go!
In the city, Dr. Scales stopped near a building and panted, then leaned against it.
"Man, I have to hide and catch my breath." he panted. "I just hope I've lost Frax."
He looked around slightly, before a woman carrying two bags of shopping spotted him.
"AHHH!" she screamed.
Dr. Scales turned and gasped, before the woman turned and ran off.
"Mutant! Mutant!" she screamed.
"Wait, I'm not gonna hurt you!" Dr. Scales pleaded. "Come back?!"
The woman ignored him and kept running off, just as an African man spotted her.
"Mutant attack!" the woman cried.
The man turned and saw Dr. Scales, before he hid behind a bench and took out his phone.
"Get me the Silver Guardians?" he said.
In Bio-Lab, the alarms blared in the garage, as the members of Guardians came into it.
"Alright, man up and move out!" Eric ordered.
They all ran around the place, then most got into the SUVs, Waller and Savage getting into the driver's seats, Eric getting into Waller's. Once hey were all strapped in, both Waller and Savage raced them off out of the garage.
In the Clock Tower, Lucas and Wes were playing chess at the table, while Jen was staring out at the city from the left window, while Trip and Katie were both drinking some juice, while Paige was staring at the picture of her family.
"Mutant attack!" Circuit exclaimed on his perch, opening his eyes.
The others all turned and ran towards him, Paige putting her picture away as Katie and Trip put their drinks down.
"Where?" Wes asked.
"At the plaza." Circuit explained.
"Let's go." Jen said.
They all turned around and ran off.
In the city, Dr. Scales ran forward down a street, as a dozen people ran off scared.
"Please, I'm not gonna hurt you?!" he pleaded. "You have to believe me?!"
"Stay away, you Mutant!" a woman cried.
Dr. Scales fell to his knees as the people kept running.
"Oh, man. Guess people hate me for my appearance." he sighed.
A skidding noise got his attention, making him turn left, as the Silver Guardians SUVs pulled up.
"What the?" he gasped.
Eric and ten other Silver Guardians got out of the SUVs, then aimed their blasters at him, including Savage, Waller, Kirby, Tate, Bowen, Keller, Fields and Jenkins.
"Hold it right there?!" Eric bellowed.
"Wait, don't shoot?!" Dr. Scales begged, holding his hands up. "Please, don't shoot?!"
"Huh?" Kirby and Savage muttered, turning to each other.
"What the..?" Tate muttered.
"Stay where you are?!" Eric bellowed. "Keep me covered."
"Yes, sir." Bowen said.
Eric approached Dr. Scales slowly as the Guardians kept their blasters on him.
Just then, Frax and several Cyclobots showed up on the other side of the street behind Dr. Scales, who then turned to him.
"Ah, there he is!" Frax said. "Get him!"
Eric stopped as the Cyclobots charged forward.
"You tricked us!" he accused, pointing his blaster at Dr. Scales.
"What?!" Dr. Scales exclaimed.
He turned around and saw Frax and the Cyclobots charging at him.
"No, you don't understand?" he begged, turning to Eric. "I have-"
"Fire!" Eric ordered, before rolling to his right.
The Silver Guardians fired at Dr. Scales, Frax and the Cyclobots, hitting a few and knocking them down.
"Wait, listen?!" Dr. Scales asked, as two blasts hit him. "AH!"
He turned right and ran off as the Guardians kept firing at him, some hitting him slightly.
"I'll get the Mutant!" Eric said, turning to them. "Take care of the Cyclobots!"
"Yes, sir!" Bowen and Tate said.
Eric chased after Dr. Scales, then the Guardians all fired at Frax and the Cyclobots again.
"Oh! I'll get to the Dr. before he does!" Frax hissed.
He turned around and ran off as some of the Cyclobots got blasted.
Dr. Scales turned right as he ran around a building, as Eric kept following him.
"Quantum Power!"
(Morph sequence)
Eric's morpher lit up as he turned his fist sideways, as endless numbers went up and down all around him. He held his fist up above him, then spun around as he morphed up, holding his arms on either side of him.
(End morph sequence)
He brought out his Quantum Defender and fired it, missing Dr. Scales by inches.
"Some Mutant he is." Eric thought. "Running away like a coward?"
He fired his Quantum Defender twice, but missed Dr. Scales both times, before he turned right and ran around a building.
"I don't think so!" Eric snarled.
He kept running, then turned right around the building, but saw no sign of Dr. Scales.
"Huh?" he muttered.
He looked around carefully, but saw no sign of him.
"Okay, I'll admit, this one's fast." he thought.
He walked down the street slowly while looking around, unaware that Dr. Scales was hiding inside a building, peeking out at him.
"I thought Power Rangers were suppose to help people." he thought. "I need to get outta here before he finds me!"
He turned around and ran off through the building, Eric not spotting him at all, then he came out the other side, turned left and ran off.
"Oh, blast!" Eric cursed. "I'll get you next time, Mutant."
He turned around, just as Bowen and Tate ran towards him.
"Sir, Frax escaped." Bowen reported.
"Well, so did the Mutant." Eric explained. "Get back to the SUVs and prepare to move out! He can't have gone far!"
"Yes, sir." Bowen and Tate said.
They turned around, then all three of them ran off.
Dr. Scales kept on running, then turned right past a building, then stopped and panted.
"How did I get into this mess?" he wondered, leaning against the wall "No one around here's gonna listen to me."
He sighed, but then turned left as he heard footsteps, and saw the other Rangers running towards him.
"Oh, man!" he moaned. "Not more of them."
The Rangers all stopped in front of him as he turned around and ran off.
"Freeze!" Jen shouted.
The Rangers all aimed their Chrono Blasters at him as he stopped.
"Ah!" he yelped.
"We're Time Force, and you're under arrest!" Jen shouted, holding up her badge, which glowed.
"Time Force?" Dr. Scales questioned, raising his arms. "Oh, thank goodness."
He turned around and stared at the Rangers.
"No way..." Paige muttered, lowering her Chrono Blaster.
"Stay where you are?!" Jen ordered.
Dr. Scales nodded, before Paige walked towards him, putting her blaster away.
"Paige, what you doing?" Trip asked.
"Huh?" Dr. Scales muttered, staring at her.
Paige stood in front of him, looking at him closely.
"Power down!" she shouted, touching her morpher as she raised it.
She demorphed and stared at him.
"It's been a while, Doc." she said.
"Paige? Is that really you?" Dr. Scales asked.
"It is." Paige nodded.
"Paige, you know him?" Jen asked.
"Yes." Paige said, turning to him. "He'd never hurt anyone."
"That's where you're wrong!" a voice yelled.
The Rangers turned left - expect Paige, who turned right with Dr. Scales - and they all saw Frax standing nearby.
"When I'm through with him, he'll be just like any other Mutant!" Frax snarled. "Cyclobots, attack!"
A bunch of Cyclobots showed up and charged at the Rangers and Dr. Scales.
"Paige, stay with him!" Jen ordered. "We'll handle this!"
"Right." Paige said. "Come on!"
She and Dr. Scales turned around and ran off, as the others charged at the Cyclobots.
Jen dodged as one tried to slash her with its weapon, then she turned and kicked it in the back, then spun around and tackled another. She then elbowed a third in the chest, then spun around, got behind it, and chopped it in the back, knocking it onto its chest.
Lucas - holding his Chrono Sabers in double blade mode - spun around and slashed two with it, then turned and kicked a third in the chest, knocking it down. He then turned to another four, as the long end of his saber lit up, then he fired a blast from it, hitting all four of them.
Trip - holding his Chrono Sabers in dual blade mode - spun around and slashed one across the chest with both, then used his long one to block another's weapon, before slashing it across the chest with his short while running past it. He then jumped as two tried to swipe him in the legs, before he split kicked them both, then he dived towards a fifth and slashed it down the chest with both sabers.
Katie punched one in the chest, then dodged slightly and grabbed another's weapon, before whacking it in the chest with her forearm, knocking it down. She then kicked a third in the chest as it came at her, sending it flying away, then she grabbed a fourth's arm as it tried to stab her, then lifted it up, and then threw it away, then it landed on another three.
Wes - holding his Chrono Sabers in dual blade mode - blocked ones weapon with them both, then kicked it in the chest, then he spun around and slashed another across the chest with them both. He then dodged as a third tried to slash him with its weapon, before he slashed it down the chest with his long saber, then turned and slashed another with his short saber.
Paige meanwhile, kept running with Dr. Scales away from the battle, when six Cyclobots got in front of them.
"Oh, no!" Dr. Scales gasped.
"Stay here, Doc." Paige said. "I'll handle this."
She ran at the Cyclobots, then jumped up and kicked one in the back while diving past it, knocking it down onto its chest. She then dodged as another tried to slash her with its weapon, before she grabbed its arm, then aimed its weapon and fired it, hitting another three in the chest, knocking them down. She then raised the second's arm up, then kicked it in the chest, knocking it down, then spun around and tackled the sixth, flipping it onto its chest.
"Doc, come on?!" Paige said. "We've gotta get outta here."
Dr. Scales ran towards her, just as the Silver Guardians SUVs pulled up in front of them.
"There it is!" Tate said, spotting it.
"Right, come on!" Eric said.
"Oh, great!" Paige moaned.
Eric and the Silver Guardians all got out of the SUVs, then pointed their blasters at Dr. Scales.
"Move aside, kid!" Eric ordered. "Don't make us blast you!"
Paige turned to Dr. Scales, who got to his knees with his hands over his head, before turning to the Guardians.
"I said 'move', kid!" Eric snapped.
"Then you'll have to blast us both, Myers!" Paige snapped, pointing at him.
The Guardians gasped slightly.
"Move, this is your last warning, kid!" Eric roared.
Paige didn't move an inch, when a bunch of Cyclobots showed up behind her and Dr. Scales.
"Cyclobots!" Kirby gasped, pointing at them.
Paige and Dr. Scales turned around and stared at them.
"Fire!" Eric ordered.
The Guardians all fired their blasters, making Paige and Dr. Scales duck as the blasts hit four Cyclobots, knocking them down.
"Let's use this battle as a diversion." Paige suggested.
They both crawled away, then got up and ran off when out of blaster range, before Eric turned to them.
"Just what is she doing?" he thought.
Paige and Dr. Scales kept running, then turned left down the street, when more Cyclobots got in front of them.
"I'll handle this, Doc." Paige said.
She ran forward, then jumped and split kicked two, knocking them down, then she grabbed a third's arm and pulled it onto its back. She then kicked a fourth as it came at her, then she spun around and tackled a fifth.
"Thanks, Paige, but I've gotta leave you outta this." Dr. Scales thought. "Your Dad would kill me if something happened to you."
He turned around and ran off, just as Paige turned to him.
"Doc, wait?!" Paige called, as he ran around a building.
A Cyclobot got in front of her, making her dodge as it tried to slash her, before she grabbed its arm and flipped it onto its back. She then ran off to the edge of the building, then turned left, but saw no sign of Dr. Scales.
"Oh, man..." she muttered.
The other Rangers all showed up and gathered around her and looked down the street.
"Where he go?" Wes wondered.
"I have no idea." Paige said.
"Ah! Let's get back and find out more about him." Jen said.
The others nodded, before they turned and ran off, as Eric stared at them all.
"We'll see who finds that Mutant first." he snarled, before he turned and ran off.
Unknown to them all, Dr. Scales was hiding behind a crate on the street, then sighed in relief.
"Sorry, Paige, but I can't let Ransik capture me." he thought. "Better blend in with the crowd better."
His eyes lit up, then he changed into a black haired man wearing a red jacket, then turned and walked off.
Later, in the Clock Tower, the Rangers all stood around the wooden table, as Circuit was perched near the communication device.
"Paige, how do you know this Mutant?" Katie asked.
"Yeah. The way you went on, you sounded like you've known him for years." Trip noted.
Paige sighed, before she turned and walked away slightly, before she leaned her arm on a crate.
"Dr. Scales is an old friend of my Dad's." she explained. "Despite being a Mutant, he would never hurt anyone."
"You sure of that?" Jen asked, folding her arms.
"I'm positive." Paige assured, turning to her. "Why'd you think he's a Doctor for?"
"You mean, he studied medicine or something?" Wes inquired.
Paige nodded.
"Well, why would he become a crook then?" Lucas wondered. "I mean, he wouldn't be in the prison if he's a Doctor."
"I'm afraid he turned to a life of crime." Circuit said.
The Rangers all turned to him, as Dr. Scales' file came onto the communication device.
"He was arrested for robbing a bank." Circuit explained.
Paige folded her arms and huffed.
"The whole thing was witnessed by over a dozen people." Circuit explained.
"Well, they're liars." Paige hissed.
The others turned to her.
"Paige, if people witnessed him robbing a bank, that means he's a crook." Jen reasoned.
"But he's innocent, Jen!" Paige swore. "I just know it."
(Flashback)
In 2997, in the courtroom, Dr. Scales was being held by two Time Force Officers, staring at the three hologram judges, as dozens of people sit all around the courtroom, including Paige and her Father.
"My Dad and I went to his hearing to hear him out, and he kept saying he didn't know what happened."
Ezra soon stood by the judges as Dr. Scales stared at him.
"We even tried to defend him, but it wasn't any good."
"Capt. Tanner, just how well do you know Dr. Scales?" the middle judge asked.
"I've known him long enough to know he'd never do something like this." Ezra explained. "He's a close friend of me and my family."
"But witnesses have accused Dr. Scales of robbery, Capt.." the left judge said.
Ezra turned to Dr. Scales, who lowered his head sadly.
"I know he wouldn't do this, at least not of his own will." Ezra swore.
Several of the crowd booed slightly.
Later, Ezra sat down beside Paige in the courtroom, as the judges turned to each other.
"Dad, you really think he did this?" Paige whispered.
"I doubt it, Paige." Ezra replied. "But I don't think he's gonna win since there's quite a lot of witnesses."
People all around chatted quietly, as the judges whispered amongst themselves.
"Dr. Scales, it is the ruling of this court, that you have been found guilty of all charges, and is sentenced to cryogenic containment for 50 years!" the middle judge declared. "Have you anything to say for yourself?"
"Yes. I'm innocent I tell you!" Dr. Scales pleaded. "Something made me do it, but I don't know what!"
"You mean, you're sticking to that story?" the left judge inquired.
"Yes, I am!" Dr. Scales said. "I'd never commit any such crime if I could help it!"
"Even with 15 witnesses say they saw you rob that bank?" the right judge asked.
"Yes!" Dr. Scales pleaded. "You've gotta believe me!"
The two Time Force Officers near him, grabbed his arms and dragged him away.
"Listen, I'd never rob anyone!" Dr. Scales pleaded.
(Flashback ends)
"There wasn't enough evidence to back up his story, so he got sentenced anyway." Paige sighed.
The others all stared at her.
"Man." Wes said. "Sounds like he had a kangaroo court."
"That's what Dad said after his trail." Paige sighed.
"Well, Paige, even if he was innocent, the witnesses who testified wouldn't all lie just 'cause he's a Mutant." Jen reasoned.
"Jen, he is innocent!" Paige snarled, folding her arms. "And I'm gonna prove it."
She turned around and walked off.
"Paige, how?" Katie asked, getting her to stop. "I mean, he could be anywhere."
Paige sighed and turned around.
"If Ransik's after him too, he's gonna be on the run." Paige deduced. "And I know him way better than you guys. Jen, please let me find him? I know he'll listen to me."
Jen sighed. "Alright, go on. But call if you need help." she said.
"Got it." Paige said.
She turned around and ran off.
"Man, I've never seen Paige so determined." Trip said.
"Neither have I." Lucas said.
In the Cryo Prison, Ransik had Frax pinned against a wall, as Nadira and Gluto both watched.
"What do you mean you lost him?!" Ransik scowled. "How hard can it be to find him out there?!"
"Ransik, I swear, I found him twice, but then he gave me the slip." Frax assured. "The first time, the Quantum Ranger showed up, and then the other Rangers were with him the second time. The Orange Ranger practically helped him escape."
Ransik huffed before turning and walking away from him.
"Looks like I'll have to use what I did last time to make him work for me." he said, as he stopped.
"You mean, the collar, Daddy?" Nadira inquired.
"Yes, my sweet." Ransik said, turning to her. "You better not let me down, bolt-brain!"
"I won't, Ransik!" Frax assured frantically. "I promise."
Ransik turned and walked away, as Gluto laughed.
"You're really in for it if you fail this time." Gluto chuckled.
Nadira laughed as she turned and walked out of the room.
"Oh, shut up!" Frax snarled.
Later, in the park, Dr. Scales sat down at a bench while staring at three children - two boys and a girl - playing on a swing, laughing.
"This is fun." a boy said.
"Sure is." a girl said.
"Yep." the second boy said.
Dr. Scales sighed.
"What I wouldn't give to be a free man again." he thought.
He sighed, before he saw one of the Silver Guardians' SUVs driving slowly nearby. Inside it, was Keller and Savage, both looking around.
"This is weird." Keller said.
"I know, but that Mutant could be anywhere." Savage said. "We just need to portal around."
He drove the SUV off slightly, then Dr. Scales got up from his bench.
"Good to see my disguise works." he thought. "Oh, there's only one way I'll clear my name, and that's by making Ransik confess. But how do I do it?"
He turned left and began to walk off, wondering what to do.
Elsewhere, Paige was running down a street while looking around, before the other Silver Guardian SUV pulled up in front of her.
"Huh?" she muttered.
The doors opened, then Eric, Fields, Waller and Kirby all got out of it.
"Split and search the area!" Eric ordered.
"Yes, sir." the others said, saluting.
They all separated and ran off, as Eric approached Paige and took off his sunglasses.
"You better have a good reason for helping that Mutant escape?" he said.
"I didn't help him escape!" Paige snapped. "Although I would have had I not been too occupied."
"Let me guess, like the last one, this one's harmless?" Eric inquired, folding his arms.
"Yeah." Paige said. "He's on the run from Ransik as well as you Silver Guardians."
"On the run from Ransik?" Eric inquired. "Well, that still doesn't explain how we nearly walked right into the trap."
"He didn't!" Paige snapped. "Frax found him at the same time you did! You just got mistaken, Myers!"
Eric glared at her. "When we find that Mutant, we'll see who's lying." he sneered.
He put his sunglasses on, turned around and walked off.
"Not if I find him first." Paige snarled.
She turned and ran off, then turned left down the street, before she stopped for a minute.
"Okay, Paige, think?" she thought. "You know Dr. Scales better than anyone here. Just where could he be hiding?"
She kept thinking, before face-palming herself.
"Oh, hiding? He must be in disguise, since he's done that before to keep some of his patients clam." she thought. "I'll have to call the others."
She looked around, then spotted Dr. Scales across the street in his disguise, recognizing it slightly.
"Okay, never mind, might've already found him." Paige thought.
She ran across the street towards him, who then turned and gasped slightly.
"Nice disguise, Doc." she commented.
"Paige, how'd you know?" Dr. Scales asked.
"I've seen you use it before." Paige recalled. "Like when you helped Chris when he broke his leg."
"Oh... Rats!" Dr. Scales moaned. "If you can find me, anyone can."
"Doc, you can't just keep on running." Paige said. "Ransik's gonna find you sooner or later."
"I'm sorry, Paige." Dr. Scales said, before he turned around and ran off.
"Doc, wait?!" Paige called, as she ran after him.
They both ran off, just as Eric spotted them both, and then chased after them.
"I've got you now, Mutant." he thought.
Later, in the forest, Paige and Dr. Scales kept on running, but then stopped and panted near a tree.
"Paige, I wish you didn't have to get involved in this." Dr. Scales said.
"Doc, I cant just leave you to do this alone." Paige argued. "You're my friend."
Dr. Scales stared at her.
"Paige, as long you're with me, Ransik's bound to hurt you." he said worriedly. "He'll find me sooner or later."
"Well, I'm not leaving!" Paige insisted. "I promised Dad I'd do all I can to clear your name, and I'm not breaking that promise."
Dr. Scales stared at her.
"You really are stubborn sometimes." he said. "But what can I do? Ransik's bound to find us any minute."
Paige thought for a minute.
"Maybe we should let him find you." she said.
"Huh?" Dr. Scales muttered. "But, Paige, he'll-"
"Shh." Paige said, approaching him. "I've got an idea."
"Huh?" Dr. Scales muttered.
"Here's what we're gonna do?" Paige whispered, leaning closer to him.
Dr. Scales listened, as she whispered to him.
Later, Dr. Scales looked around near a pond, while Paige hid behind a tree nearby, staring him, holding her morpher up slightly.
"I hope this works." she sighed.
Dr. Scales kept looking around, when Ransik and Frax both showed up in front of him.
"Ah!" he yelped, backing away.
Paige peeked out from behind the tree and stared at them.
"So, you've finally given up, huh?" Ransik inquired, holding a collar in his hands.
"What's that for?" Paige wondered.
"Looks like you're ready to work for us again, Dr." Frax sneered, holding a remote.
"I'll never work for you again, Ransik!" Dr. Scales exclaimed.
"You will work for me again, no matter what!" Ransik snarled.
Dr. Scales backed away before he fell onto his back, into the pond. He then sat up as Ransik approached him with the collar.
"When I put this collar on you, you will obey my commands and destroy the Rangers!" Ransik snarled.
"Is that how you made me rob that bank years ago?!" Dr. Scales panicked.
"Yes, since you were too chicken to join my cause!" Ransik sneered. "I really could've used your talents!"
"I'd never work for someone as evil as you!" Dr. Scales cried. "I just wanted to help people!"
"Well, you'll soon be helping me destroy the Rangers!" Ransik retorted.
He moved closer to Dr. Scales, who backed away, when Paige came out from behind the tree.
"Thank you, Ransik." she smirked. "I've got your whole confession recorded."
Ransik, Frax and Dr. Scales all turned to her.
"What?!" Ransik exclaimed.
"Fool you, didn't we!" Dr. Scales sneered, getting up. "I knew it was the only way you'd tell me how you made me commit that crime."
"And now that I've got it recorded, Dr. Scales will be a free man when we get back." Paige sneered.
Nearby, Eric was running past some trees, before he stopped and looked around.
"This is where I saw Paige running with the Mutant." he said. "But where on Earth are they?"
"Very sneaky, Orange Ranger!" Ransik commented.
"Huh?" Eric muttered, before he ran off.
Paige kept staring at Ransik and Frax, as Dr. Scales pulled himself up.
"Very sneaky indeed." Ransik said. "Cyclobots, destroy her!"
Paige turned left as several Cyclobots charged at her. She then ducked and ran past one as it tried to slash her with its weapon, then grabbed another's arm, and then kicked it in the chest.
Frax and Ransik both turned to each other, as she dodged a stab from a third.
"You know what to do." Ransik hissed.
"Yes, Master." Frax said, before he vanished.
Paige ducked under a Cyclobot's weapon, getting behind it, before she spun around and tackled it, tripping it up. She then turned and ran towards Dr. Scales, before touching his shoulders.
"Don't worry, Doc, I won't let them near you." she promised.
As she turned around to the Cyclobots and Ransik, Eric showed up nearby behind a tree and stared at them all. Frax then reappeared behind her and Dr. Scales, and put the collar around Dr. Scales' neck.
"It's time for you to work for us!" he sneered.
"AHHHH!" the Dr. cried, as electricity began to run through him from the collar.
Paige turned around and gasped, as Eric stared at them.
"What the..?" Eric thought.
"NOOOO!" Paige cried.
The electricity around Dr. Scales vanished, before he whacked her with his forearm, knocking her down onto her chest as she turned around.
"Paige, I'm sorry! I can't control myself!" he pleaded.
Paige got up and stared at him, before he began throwing punches wildly.
"Looks like I win, Ranger!" Ransik snarled.
Paige turned around to him and clutched her fists.
"You'll pay for this, Ransik!" she vowed.
Ransik fried a blast from his right hand at her, but missed as she jumped up.
"Time for Time Force!"
Her endless tunnel of numbers came around her, morphing her up as she somersaulted forward, before she landed on the ground crouched down.
"Doc, fight it, please?!" she cried, getting up and turning around.
Dr. Scales moaned while touching his head, as he stumbled towards her, before kicking her in the belly.
"AH!" she moaned, stumbling back.
"Paige, sorry, but I can't help it!" Dr. Scales cried.
Paige ran towards him and grabbed his shoulders.
"Doc, fight it!" she cried. "Come on, you're stronger than this!"
Dr. Scales moaned while grabbing her arms, then kneed her in the chest, knocking her back slightly, before he spun around and tackled her, sending her flying away.
"AHHHH!" she screamed.
She hit the ground on her back, then sat up as Dr. Scales stumbled towards her, before a blast hit him in the chest.
"AGH!" he moaned.
"Huh?" Paige muttered.
She turned around and saw Eric - now morphed - charging towards her, holding his Quantum Defender.
"Hold it right there?!" he shouted, getting in front of her.
"What are you doing here?!" Paige demanded, getting up.
"Saving you, what do you think?!" Eric snapped, turning to her.
Ransik laughed, getting them both to turn to him.
"Oh, goodie." he joked. "I get to destroy two Rangers right here. Frax you know what to do!"
He then vanished as Frax fiddled with the remote.
"As you wish, Ransik." he said.
Dr. Scales moaned while touching his head, before he charged at both Rangers.
"Blade mode!" Eric shouted, pressing a button on his Quantum Defender.
It turned to blade mode, just before Dr. Scales knocked him aside, before he grabbed Paige by the neck.
"Doc, please, don't do this?!" Paige begged.
Eric came up behind Dr. Scales and slashed him down the back with his blade, making him let go of Paige.
"AHHH!" he moaned, stumbling back.
Paige coughed slightly, before turning around, and spotted Frax.
"Frax, you're gonna pay for this!" Paige promised, charging at him.
Frax turned his claw into his hand blaster, and then fired it at both her and Eric, hitting them both and knocked them down.
"AGHHH!" they moaned, hitting the ground.
Dr. Scales pulled himself up, then got behind Paige, and then kicked her, making her roll over towards Eric.
"Uh!" she moaned, as she stopped.
"Please, making me stop?!" Dr. Scales begged, touching his head.
Eric and Paige both looked up at him.
"This Mutant is seriously different from most." Eric admitted.
"Never!" Frax scowled. "Now, finish them off!"
"AGHH!" Dr. Scales moaned, touching his head.
He began to walk forward, when blasts them hit him in the chest, knocking him to his knees, getting Paige and Eric to both turn, as the others ran towards them, Jen and Trip holding their V-Cannons.
"Paige, Eric, you okay?" Wes asked.
"I'm fine!" Eric snapped, pulling himself up.
Paige pulled herself up as they all stared at Dr. Scales, Jen and Trip keeping their V-Cannons on him.
"Prepare to fire in case-" Jen began.
"No, don't!" Paige cried, pulling her V-Cannon down. "He can't control himself! Frax has got control him!"
"Huh?" Trip muttered.
"Rangers, help?!" Dr. Scales begged.
Electricity then began to come out of the collar.
"What the?!" Katie exclaimed.
"AHHH!" Dr. Scales cried, touching his head.
The Rangers all stared at him.
"You will destroy the Rangers!" Frax ordered, pressing a button on the remote.
"AHHH!" Dr. Scales cried.
He ripped off a patch on his right arm, causing the bubbles inside him to begin to rise up, making him grow giant, as the Rangers all looked up at him.
"Oh, man!" Paige said.
"Paige, we're gonna have to fight him." Jen said, touching her shoulder.
"I know." Paige sighed, before putting her morpher to her mouthpiece. "Circuit, we need the Megazord!"
(Clock Tower)
"You got it, Paige." Circuit said, on his perch. "Time Flyers, online!"
(3000)
Time Flyer 1 faced the gateway on the platform.
"Launch in 2...1." a woman said.
The Transwarp Megazord then whacked Time Flyer 1 with its fist, sending it flying towards the gateway, entering it.
"Launch remaining Time Flyers."
The Transwarp Megazord then whacked the remaining Time Flyers 2 and 3 and sent them flying towards the gateway, then whacked 4 and 5, sending them towards it, then whacked 6, sending it towards the gateway. They all entered the gateway, then caught up to Time Flyer 1.
(2001)
The Time Flyers all came out of the gateway through a stadium roof.
(3000)
The mysterious figure in the dark room, pressed some buttons on his panel, as the screen above him showed Shadow Winger on the platform.
"Shadow Winger, preparing for launch." a woman reported.
The man pressed a button on the panel, opening up the hatch, then flicked the two switches behind it.
"Launch Shadow Winger."
The Transwarp Megazord then whacked the Shadow Winger with its fist, sending it flying towards the gateway, entering it.
(2001)
In the city, an eclipse then began, then the Shadow Winger flew out of it and down towards the city.
Once in the battle area, the Rangers jumped into their Time Flyers.
"Shadow Force Megazord, Mode Red!" Paige shouted.
Shadow Winger turned into its Shadow Armour mode, then the Time Force Megazord landed on the feet of it, which then retracted onto it. The chest plate then down over the chest, then the ends of top of it moved to form the shoulder cannons on either side of its head. It then grabbed the blade, before the visor went over it, forming the Shadow Force Megazord Mode Red.
Dr. Scales turned to it as it landed near him, while Eric looked up at them both.
"I'm sorry, Doc, but it's the only way." Paige said.
The Shadow Force Megazord charged at Dr. Scales, who charged back, before kicking it in the chest, knocking it back.
"Uh!" the Rangers moaned.
"Sorry, Rangers, but I can't stop myself!" he cried.
"We've gotta get that collar off of him." Wes realized.
"But how do we do that?" Katie asked. "It's practically wrapped around his neck."
"If we can't pull it off, we slice it off." Paige said.
"Good thinking, Paige." Jen agreed.
Dr. Scales moaned as the Shadow Force Megazord charged at him, then tried to slash him with its saber, but he blocked it with his forearm.
"That's it." Frax sniggered, turning a knob on the remote. "Destroy them!"
Dr. Scales punched the Shadow Force Megazord in the belly, knocking it back, then he spun around and kicked it in the chest, knocking it onto the ground.
"AHH!" the Rangers moaned.
"AHH! Rangers, please help?!" Dr. Scales cried.
"What are we gonna do?!" Paige exclaimed. "We can't get the collar off if Frax makes him keep this up!"
Eric looked up at Dr. Scales as he approached the Shadow Force Megazord, which pulled itself up.
"Looks like I have to bail them out." Eric said, before putting his morpher to his mouthpiece. "Q-Rex, arise!"
(Elsewhere)
The Q-Rex rose up from the ground, covered in dirt, and then roared, before it ran off.
(The battle)
Dr. Scales slashed the Shadow Force Megazord down the chest with his right hand, knocking it back slightly.
"AHH!" the Rangers moaned.
Dr. Scales stumbled forward, when a laser blast hit him in the chest.
"AHH!" he moaned.
The Shadow Force Megazord turned left, and saw the Q-Rex charging towards them.
"The Q-Rex!" Jen gasped.
"What's it doing here?" Paige wondered.
The Q-Rex charged forward as Dr. Scales stared at it, before touching his head as electricity came from the collar.
"AHHH!" he moaned.
"Quantasaurus Rex, Megazord Mode!" Eric shouted into his morpher.
The Q-Rex retracted its top half upwards, then its shoulders retracted themselves in the other direction. Its head then retracted forward onto its chest, then its visor snapped open, forming the Q-Rex Megazord.
Dr. Scales kept moaned, before the Q-Rex Megazord got in front of him.
"I think it's time you stop this rampage, Mutant." Eric snarled, before pressing a button on his morpher. "Thunder Fist!"
The Q-Rex Megazord pulled its fist back, then shot it out, sending it flying towards Dr. Scales, hitting his chest.
"AHH!" he moaned.
He fell to his knees, before the Q-Rex Megazord charged at him, then grabbed him and picked him up, before turning him to face the Shadow Force Megazord.
"What's he doing?" Lucas questioned.
"I think he's trying to hold Dr. Scales so we get that collar off him." Paige realized.
"Well, let's do it quick then." Wes said.
The Shadow Force Megazord charged at Dr. Scales and the Q-Rex Megazord. It then raised its saber up, then slashed Dr. Scales down the chest with it, making sparks come out of him.
"AHH!" he moaned.
The Shadow Force Megazord then put its saber by his neck, then sliced the collar off him with it, then both it and the Q-Rex Megazord backed away, as sparks and electricity came out of him.
"AHHH!" Dr. Scales cried, touching his head.
Both Megazords gathered together and stared at him, before the electricity vanished, and he turned to them both.
"Thank you, Rangers." he said. "I just know my name'll be clear now. Paige, I want you to be the one to take me in, as I know you'll keep me safe until Ransik's arrested."
The other Rangers turned to Paige as she stared at him, before she nodded.
"Shadow Force Saber!" Paige shouted, putting her hand over her stick.
The control stick lit up, then she pulled her hands back, as it turned into a matching saber.
The Shadow Force Megazord held its saber up, then spun it around in a circle, creating a clock.
"Blizzard slash!" Paige shouted, pulling her saber back, as a clock appeared behind her.
She slashed her saber forward from right to left, then the Shadow Force Megazord slashed its downwards, hitting Dr. Scales.
"Thanks, Paige." he said, before he froze.
"You're time's up." Paige said sadly, holding her left fist up, before extending her fingers up.
Dr. Scales moaned slightly as sparks came out of him, before he fell onto his chest and blew up, making him shrink down to tiny size.
"Oh, Ransik's not gonna like this!" Frax exclaimed.
He turned around and ran off.
The Shadow Force Megazord and the Q-Rex Megazord both stood at ease.
Later, on the ground, the Rangers all gathered around near Dr. Scales, then Paige approached him, then put her badge over him. A light then went over him, before a container appeared around him, and then Paige picked it up while getting to her feet.
"You're safe now, old friend." she said. "I promise, when we get back, I'll make sure the court listens to that confession."
She turned to the others, before Jen approached him.
"Guess I was wrong about him." Jen sighed. "You were right, he was innocent."
"I'm starting to wonder if anymore Mutants are like him, imprisoned under false conviction." Lucas said.
"Is that why he was on the run?" a voice said.
They all turned and saw Eric walking towards them.
"Yes." Paige replied. "Why'd you think that collar was controlling his mind? He didn't wanna hurt anyone."
Eric scoffed. "I wouldn't believe that, if I hadn't seen Frax put it on him." he said. "So I'll let this one slide. Next time though, I'll take care of this without your interference."
He turned around and walked away, as the others stared at him.
"He seriously needs to sort out his attuite." Paige muttered.
"He sure does." Katie agreed.
"Come on, let's go." Trip said. "I'm starving."
"Well, we haven't had anything to eat all day." Jen reasoned.
They all walked off, expect Wes and Paige.
"Paige, I think you're Father will be proud to see you helped clear his friend's name." Wes said, touching her shoulder.
"I hope so, Wes." Paige sighed, before looking at Dr. Scales. "When I get back, I just know he's gonna be a free man again."
They both then walked on after the others.
Wes: Next time on Power Rangers Time Force.
Two Cyclobots throw Eric towards a railing on a highway road.
"Uh!" he moans, nearly falling over it.
The Cyclobots grab him and turn him around.
"Uh!" he grunts.
A Mutant approaches him.
"Call the Quantasaurus!" he demands.
"He only obeys my voice!" Eric retorts.
"That's why I brought this." the Mutant sneers.
He puts a device over his mouth.
"But wait till you get a load of this." he smirks, speaking with Eric's voice.
Eric gasps.
The Mutant holds up Eric's morpher.
"Q-Rex, Megazord Mode!" he shouts.
He turns to Eric as the Q-Rex Megazord stands above them.
"I don't need you anymore." he sneers in his normal voice.
The Q-Rex Megazord stabs the Time Shadow with its missile hand.
"Q-Rex, destroy the Time Shadow!" the Mutant orders with Eric's voice.
Eric stands in the city surrounded by Cyclobots, as a fire burns around him.
"Mega Battle, activate!" he shouts, holding his hand up.
A explosion goes off around him, then he stands in a armour.
He spins two blades around, then slashes two Cyclobots with it. He skids on the skates of it, then jumps up, twirls around and slashes some more.
"Mega Battle, Aerial Mode!" he shouts, jumping up.
He flies through the city, as a little girl stares at him.
"Quantum Ranger?" she said.
Eric flies past some buildings that get blasted.
Wes: Next time on Power Rangers Time Force.
