:::Inside Tommy's Mind:::
Tommy is walking around what could only be described as a desert, trying to make sense of everything that has happened. As he is walking, he is confronted by a large white falcon.
He jumps back as the falcon lands and see's a woman jump off of it, he takes a minute to try and figure out who this woman is as she lands on her feet just in front of him.
The woman walks toward him and removes her hood revealing it to be Dulcea. "Tommy. What troubles you bearer of the majestic falcon?" She asks him.
Tommy looks her in her eyes. "Dulcea I don't understand. I watched them bury Kim seven years ago, but now she is alive and our enemy! On top of that, I keep hearing a crane cry in my mind."Tommy stammered to her.
"That Tommy is her Animal Spirit crying out to you for help. It is calling for you to free it from its prison. I have heard it as well." Dulcea stated.
"How have you heard it? How do I free it? I don't understand." Tommy stated.
Dulcea walked toward him and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Mighty falcon, I am the guardian of the Great Power and I am connected to your animals. Yours cries out for loss and sadness, which is why it came to me to help you and Kimberly's cries out in pain and sadness as well." Dulcea states as Tommy looks at her.
Then she bows her head down with a look of sadness on her face. "However if Kimberly cannot remember her past life and break what they have done to her, then the only way to free the crane and free Kimberly from this torture is... is to kill her. I am so sorry mighty falcon." She states as Tommy's sadness turns to anger.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN KILL HER!? I COULD NEVER DO THAT!" Tommy yelled at her.
Dulcea recoils from Tommy's anger but stands firm. "Tommy there is still a chance to free her and save her. Killing her would be a very last resort, but she retains the Great Power in her, and if the enemy can tap into it... then she will be unstoppable. Please understand that Tommy." Dulcea states.
Tommy looks at her realising what she is saying is true, if somehow who ever had Kim, learned how to have her tap into the Great Power for evil the world would be devastated.
"Mighty falcon, I may not be able to leave Phaedos physically; but I will remain here with your falcon spirit to lend aid and advice as much as I can. However, your friends and the world needs you now." Dulcea says.
With that Tommy wakes up with a start and runs towards the Power Chamber to brief the others on what he has found out.
::: Alphabet Soup Dr. K's Lab:::
Dr. K is working on some improvements to RPM's weapons when she is approached by Blake.
"Dr.K what are you doing?" He asks.
She looks at him in the eyes.
"I am getting some upgrades done for your weapons R.S.7 for field tests." She says blankly
He glares at her and grabs her wrist. "My name is Blake not R.S.7 and what are you all really trying to do here?" He states.
She is now glaring at him. "How!? I was told that you were completely reprogrammed when you came here! How do you know that?" She asked.
Blake looked her in the eye. "I am a highly trained ninja of the Thunder Ninja academy. Whatever you guys tried to do to me failed, hence why I did not fight Dr. Oliver with intent to kill, and besides I trained to make sure I could not be brainwashed again after what Lothor did to me and my brother; but you are going to tell me how to get out of here." He demanded.
Dr. K looking over to the side of his head seeing the subtle wires placed there, that she has as well, but seeing they are still in place, is now confused as to how he is not a servant to Alphabet Soup.
Blake noticing where she is looking grabs at them and rips them off showing that they are not connected to anything. "Once again trained ninja deception is one of my specialties." He stated.
Dr. K now showing for the first time in a long time fear. "And what do you think you can escape from? Listen, we are trying to create true world peace here. Why would you oppose that? I was under the impression that was what the Ninja academy's strives for." She stated to him.
Blake looks around then back at Dr.K. "Not at the expense of innocent lives or by killing our own, that is a line that should never be crossed." He stated as he looked at the side of her head and noticed the same wires they had attached to him.
"Shit! She is a slave like the others are." Blake thought to himself.
She looked at him with a hint of anger in her eyes. "Then tell me Blake: how else would true peace be achieved, if not by forcing people to acknowledge that free will is the cause of all the strife on our world?"She asked him.
Blake glared back at her. "I will not allow this to continue. I will get to the other rangers and we will put a stop to your plans! Taking away people's free will does not make peace, it creates dependence and that in of itself opens up for invasion." Blake said to her.
She just looked at him and smiled. "That will be kind of hard since you have no way to escape from here, without someone knowing you will never make it out they can and will kill you." She states.
Blake smiled and held out a small object attached to a chain. "With this Sensei Watanabe of the Wind Ninja Academy contacted me two months ago, because he found something sinister was happening with some of the former rangers suddenly dying and so, I was asked to make myself a tempting target and be taken. We used Ninja magic to protect my mind and memories." He stated.
Dr.K confused now. "Ninja magic is no match to our technology! You were subservient to us." She stated.
He smiled. "It was a seal on my mind, it allowed them to do whatever they needed to me and when I was exposed to any of the old ranger powers again the seal would release and override what they did to me which is what happened when I confronted Dr. Oliver." He stated.
"Now Dr. K, I can see they have you under their thrall. I will give you two choices: you can come with me willingly or not. Your choice but you will be leaving with me." Blake stated.
She glared at him and went to reach for a communications device when Blake hit her in the base of her skull knocking her out.
"I am sorry. I do not like to hit girls if I don't have to, but I can't have you warning them about me. Now, I have about fifteen minutes to download files from their computers and get out of here before they come to check in on her." Blake said to himself as he plugs in the flash drive he got from Sensei Watanabe.
He stood there for about ten minutes when her computer beeped, alerting him that it had copied all the files to the drive. He unplugged it and grabbed a laptop, he made sure he had the morpher they had given him as well.
"Very well, I am ready to get out of here. Are you ready to leave Doc?" he said with a smile on his face, looking at a now unconscious Dr. K.
He pulled out the chain and pushed a button on the little object he had. "Sensei, I am ready and I have someone with me we need to go now." He said into the device.
He waited a moment with no response and started to look worried till he suddenly heard someone respond.
"Blake! How? What? Where?" He heard the voice say recognising it to be Cam.
"I will explain later. Your dad knows what's up, but I need extraction with one passenger very fast Cam." He stated.
There was no response after that till felt a surge of energy around them as they are enveloped by a navy blue light and they disappear from their location.
::: The Power Chamber:::
After a few minutes the navy blue energy materialised into Blake and the unconscious Dr. K inside the Power Chamber, to everyone that knew him surprise.
"Blake!" was all he heard as both the Blue Wind Ranger and the Crimson Thunder Ranger ran and enveloped him in a hug happy, to see him alive.
"Whoa calm down Hunter! Yes, it's me, I am alive." Blake stated as his brother was squeezing him tightly.
With that Cam and Jason walked up to him. "How? What is going on here Blake? How did my father know what was happening and why do you have a young woman knocked out with you?"Cam asked.
Blake stood there. "Listen, this woman is still under their control she needs to be secured first, then I will explain everything to you." He said as the others nodded and placed her into a holding cell after scanning her.
"So, what I don't understand is: why did you not try to pass a message along to Tommy when you were fighting him?" Jason demanded still angry over the revelation of Kim.
Blake hung his head and started to explain that he could not risk them finding out because of the communication devices built into their helmets.
"I however, was able to get her personal laptop and download their main files on this flash drive before getting out of there, but they are going to know we are missing by now." Blake explained.
Cam grabbed the flash drive while Billy grabbed the laptop and they went over and plugged both into the main computer and sat with Haley and started going over everything.
After about two hours, the three sat back and let out a sigh Jason caught this while he was talking with Carter; Wes, and Eric and walked over to them.
"Find anything good? Like how we can get our people back?" Jason asked.
Billy was the first to speak. "Yes and no. While Dr. K there is just reprogrammed and being controlled by the circuit wires on the side of her head, the others are controlled by both the wires and severe mental conditioning. My guess is that they were afraid the wires might not hold up in combat, so the mental conditioning was a backup to those." Billy explained.
"Meaning what exactly Billy?" Jason asked.
Hayley spoke up next. "Meaning give us ten minutes and we can get that Dr. K in there, back to her normal self but it will be extremely hard to get the others back, though she might be able to help." Hayley explained.
Jason told them to get to work on that so that she could be questioned, and even when her wires are removed she is to stay confined in the cell for their protection, till Trip can do a mind scan on her to make sure she will not give away their position.
With that Billy and Hayley went into the cell and started to remove the wires very carefully and after eleven minutes, they were able to remove them all. This had caused Dr. K to start stirring and Billy and Hayley got out of the cell and reactivated the force field holding her in there.
After a few minutes she came too slightly groggy and confused she looked around. "Where... where am I?" She asked.
Jason approached the cell. "Do you know your name?" He asked her
She looked at him and nodded. "I am known as Dr. K. I do not remember my true name though." She said.
With a glare and his arms crossed across his chest. "I am Jason Scott. A leader for the Power Rangers and you are at our base. I am keeping you in that cell, till I am sure we can trust you." He said as Trip walked over to him. He whispered to Trip to start a mind scan of here while he questioned her.
"First: tell me why you were there and what their plans are and who they are at this Alphabet Soup place." He asked.
She sighed. "Very well Mr. Scott. When I was nine, I was taken into the Alphabet Soup Think Tank due to me being a child prodigy. They had given me this speech about how my skills would help bring about true world peace, so I started working. About two years in, I had finished the Ranger Series morphers that the RPM Rangers use." She explained as they listened.
"While I was working on the computers, I came across a hidden file. I looked at it and realised their vision of peace was at a horrible price; I could not let my inventions be used for their ideals, so I developed a computer virus. I named it Venjix." She stated as they all stood there listening.
"As I released it into their systems and grabbed all my things and tried to escape, but the female one caught me and dragged me to their lab and I was knocked out. When I came to, I had those wires embedded on the side of my head and was forced to follow their orders no matter what. That was when I found out the male agent had cybernetic implants and the Venjix virus had become self aware and uploaded himself to the make agent merge with his mind." She said with a small tear in her eyes.
"A year later, they came in with the first recruit to RPM: the female Red Ranger and leader of the RPM Rangers and put her through mental conditioning, and then the same wires were implanted onto her, they started training her and brought more in and I still co-operated fully due to the wires." She explained.
Jason stood there glaring at her. "That first recruit you are speaking of is Kimberly! She is basically my sister." Jason snarled at her as Eric Myers who had been hearing everything walked up to the cell staring at her.
"How can you sit here and explain this with no emotion!? You made us believe that people we cared about and loved were dead and you claim it was done to help protect the Earth? Your team even tried to destroy another ranger team in Reefside and then you go and destroy Mesogog's island, without even thinking for one second that there could be a innocent there!" Eric yells at her.
"I am sorry Quantum Ranger, but I was not in control of myself when I helped them or I would have never let them use my technology." Dr. K stated.
"So let me see if I got this right: you made a computer virus to escape captivity of a evil Think Tank more or less, you are then reprogrammed to do whatever they asked you, no matter what?"Justin asks this time.
"The two people: the male and female claimed when they first recruited me, that I would help do great things and make the world a safer place. I had no idea how far they would go! I swear it is the truth." Dr. K explained.
"After being there for a year, they brought me some sort of tech. I put two and two together that they remnants of generals of the evil Machine Empire from seven years ago, I used all this tech and the knowledge I gained to understand the Bio-Field or as you call it the Morphing Grid to finally make the morphers that they use. I also helped develop what they called a peacekeeping force to aid the rangers called Grinders." She explained.
"What is a Grinder exactly?" Carlos asked.
"They are made using technology from the Cogs, Quadtrons and Cyclobots, but I now believe that they are advance forces for them, to take the planet with the Ranger Series as their generals." She further explained.
Everyone was looking at her, Jason had looked over to Trip who nodded, she was being honest with them. No one had noticed that Tommy had woken up and joined them and had been in the back corner listening to everything.
He then stepped forward clearing his throat getting everyone's attention.
"Please explain one thing to me: this whole time you have aided them and now that we removed the wires on the side of your head, you decide to betray them and then tell us about their whole operation? Why? What changed and how does this all connect to everything?" Tommy stated coldly.
"The male agent is Venjix, the virus in a human form. I believe he is using synth tissue for the parts of the body that hide his cybernetic enhancements so he appears human. It appears that as soon as I released it into alphabet Soup's security mainframe, he jumped to the male agent and merged with his mind, making someone far worse than they were, when they still were just having me work on the tech." She started to explain.
"I truly never wanted this to happen! I swear." She pleaded.
Tommy looked at Jason and Eric who both nodded he walked over and deactivated the force field.
"You are going to work with Billy, Haley, and Cam to help us to stop them and free them." Tommy ordered as she nodded and went over to the three techs.
"Though, I know you don't want to hear it, there might not be a way to save your friends." She said as Tommy just growled at her.
Tommy then explained to everyone the dream he had. They were all taken aback and they started to try and come up with ideas to stop these people and save their friends without loss of life.
Billy had gotten up and walked over to the others.
"From what I read when Dr. K started her research on the technology, what they were using was way more advanced than some of the equipment we have here." Billy explained.
"So, what you think these guys might be? Aliens or something Billy?" Eric asks him.
Billy shook his head "I don't think so, but not ruling it out either. Almost all that tech has some signature that shows it's from Earth". Billy explained.
This shocked all the rangers from the first to the space rangers.
"We might have to assume they are from the future or are using stolen tech from our enemies." Billy explained.
"So? I don't get it, if he is from the future that could mean something really bad happened to him or her and are taking it out on the rangers?" Wes asked.
"That is a good guess Wes. It would explain how they were able to change the DNA of victims that we did bury, so we would not notice it's another person or a fake body all together, but it could also be bad for us as well. There is a good chance that they know all about us too and how we plan and fight." Billy explained.
"Then what is there plan and how do we combat this?" Trent asked.
Billy hung his head. "To enslave the populace with machines, enforcing new laws and dishing out sentence right there and create what they see as the perfect, peaceful world. A world with no emotion, no free will. They are in essence, carrying out the reason Dr. K stated in a voice log while creating Venjix to save the world." Billy explained.
"And what does this Venjix or these two agents get out of all this?" Kat asked.
"They gets to see us destroyed and hope to prevent whatever caused them to travel back in time to stop us, that is if they are time travellers." Billy explained.
"And the worst of it is: how they plan on doing it all, using robot enforcers and our closest friends as their generals? And the fact that Kim and Merrick are going to be sure ticket to winning if we cannot get them to change sides back to us?" Billy explained.
"What? Why?" Conner asked.
"The Great Power inside Kim and Merrick's connection to the Animarium and the magic stored there." Billy explained.
After hearing all this and now knowing who they are truly up against try and figure out how to combat this.
::: Alphabet Soup Headquarters:::
The female is furious that R.S.7 escaped and was never reprogrammed to work for them and they had also taken Dr. K with them.
"R.S.7 also took a lot of information, it seems the rangers now know what our true motives are and how we plan to carry them out. Though, they did not get our weapons information and only were able to escape with the one morpher on them." The male stated.
The female turned to him. "Then we will have to launch the attack and the ultimatum that the Earth surrender to us, or they will perish a lot earlier than we planned." The female stated as male agent smiled a little.
With that they summoned there remaining rangers to them, the male was walking in front of them starting to explain their plan to them.
"First we will launch missile attacks on their capitols, then issue our demands then each of you will take a Grinder force and capture or destroy any resistance. You will all attack at once around the world, which will divide the rangers up. Ensure success, do you understand your order?" They all answered that they did.
Kim stepped forward. "Sir, we are missing R.S.7." Kim stated.
The female looked right at her. "He has betrayed us. If you confront him, you are to kill him on the spot." she demanded.
With that they were dismissed while the both of them walked to their control room.
:::Power Chamber:::
The rangers are discussing plans of attack when the alarms go off in the chamber, they turn to the viewing screen as Alpha activates it.
On it come the visage of the female agent.
"People of the Earth, I am one of the leaders of Alphabet Soup. You have been warned to surrender with no resistance and accept our offer of peace. You have chosen to defy us instead, so at this moment there are several missiles en route to your world capitols. These missiles will decimate those cities, if you have not surrendered after that, our armies will march in and take your cities. You will all submit and serve RPM, to do so will ensure peace on this planet; to resist will result in death and destruction, followed by us controlling one way or the other. Our peace will be imposed on your world, you have ten minutes to respond before the missiles impact." She stated as the screen went blank.
Tommy looked over at Cam, Alpha, Billy and Hayley, as they were hitting controls furiously. "Cam, I got locks on all of them. Do you have the destination set?" Hayley asked.
"I do Hayley. Billy, Alpha get ready to activate." Cam stated as the robot and Billy nodded and hit a button on the controls.
After that the alarms blared again as they looked they saw the missiles impact and explode and just like on Mesogog's Island Fortress, the destruction was contained to just that area.
"OK, Billy we need to transmit to the entire world. Can it be done?" Tommy asked to Billy.
"Yes Tommy, we can transmit you and Jason and what you have to say to the entire world." Billy said.
Jason and Tommy morphed and walked to the front of the Power Chamber, where Zordon's energy tube stood.
"OK, Billy we are ready." Jason stated.
Billy punched the dials the whole chamber became dark, except for a light over Jason and Tommy.
"People of the Earth, please listen to what we have to say." Jason and Tommy said in unison as they removed their helmets.
"Our names are Dr. Tommy Oliver and Jason Scott we are two of the many Power Rangers that have sworn an oath to protect this world from evil, and protect it we will. Just a few minutes ago the people known to be in charge of this Alphabet Soup and PRM, attacked every major capitol of the world, but what they do not know: is that the death toll was zero! We were able to save everyone and transport them to a secure facility, where they are now in contact with their countries to plan counter measures."
"We are here to promise you that we will do whatever it takes to protect you, and our way of life no matter what it takes. This promise we make on our lives and on our honour as Power Rangers."
"To Alphabet soup and RPM we have this to say: where there is evil, beware! Where there is destruction, be warned! Our teams of mighty warriors will not rest, we are the ultimate fighting force for good. WE ARE THE POWER RANGERS! A LEGACY THAT WILL CONTINUE. WHERE THERE IS HOPE FOR GOOD AND PEACE IN THE WORLD!" Tommy and Jason yelled.
::: Cities and towns across the world:::
After the rangers broadcast finished, there was loud applause from the whole world as their heroes, since nineteen-ninety-nine have not left them.
::: Power Chamber:::
As soon as Jason and Tommy finished their speech they looked at everyone.
Jason stepped forward. "Guys like always, this could be it, our final battle. Some of us might not make it back, but we go out there today to protect not just the Earth, but also the whole galaxy! We go out there to try and bring our friends we thought we lost back to us, this will be a tough fight, the odds are against us in every turn, but isn't the smallest chance of victory enough of a reason for us to keep on fighting!"Jason states.
Everyone looks up to him.
"Twelve years ago, a wise sage called me and my friends to come and defend the world against evil. We at first declined, but then embraced it and did so with the idea we were doing the right. Zordon would always have advice for us, but he would tell us one phrase, when he bid us goodbye before we went out for battle today. I impart those words to you all: MAY THE POWER PROTECT YOU, ALWAYS! He sated as everyone there cheered back at him.
He nodded over to Alpha to transport them all to the different areas of the world, to fight the newest evil, as they all disappeared in bright flash of light.
::: Alphabet Soup Headquarters:::
"Now is the beginning of the end of free will, by doing this we make sure the future we came from does not happen." The female stated.
The male just nodded and turn to look at the screen as his forces started to march on Washington D.C.
"That is correct my dear sister. Today marks the end of any chance of Space Patrol Delta forming and without them, we will not have the A-Squad that attacked our colony for no reason." The male stated as they both smiled.
Well they got one ranger back and freed K next up the battle for Washington Please don' forget to leave me reviews to aid in making this story better thanks for the time you took to read it as well.
Till next chapter catch ya on the flip side.
