Lucas walked through the empty streets of Silver Hills with memories of the mission to capture Ransik. The five of them constantly going out into the streets and battling the various mutants that Ransik sent to try to destroy all of them. He walked past a familiar jewelry store that Nadira tried to rob a few times. He walked past a plaza where they first ran into Wes.
'It's funny how Jen wanted to kill Wes the first time that they met. But now they love each other so much that they have stayed loyal and kept hope over these five years. Almost seems like a soap opera o some strange romance movie. I wonder what's gonna happen when they see each other again.' Lucas thought as he kept walking towards the city limits. He thought about his own love life. He had a brief stand with Nadira, but she was transferred to the East Coast and their relationship wasn't strong enough to withstand that sort of separation. 'I wonder how they do it. I wonder how they can stay loyal to each other when there seemed to be absolutely no chance that they would ever be together again. But I guess that maybe Nadira and I just didn't have the strength in our relationship that Wes and Jen do.' He continues to walk when he came up on the fence encompassing the airport property. 'Bingo' Lucas thought as he pulled out the temporary corrosion spray from the bag. 'Okay I've got ten seconds to get to the other side before the corrosion wears away. Here goes' He twisted the cap off and quickly sprayed the fence with the solution. The section of the fence gave way and he was on the other side just before the fence began to seal back up. "Phew, now to find Wes's plane. Let's see Trip wrote the tail number on a piece of paper somewhere in here." Lucas said as he dug through the bag looking for the paper.
"Ah-ha here it is N5425K, its red, go figure, and one propeller in the front of the plane. It should be in one of the hangars." Lucas read aloud as he looked around. There were two strips of hangars with about 20 spaces on each.
"Oh perfect, I get to break into maybe forty hangars before I find it." Lucas said with sarcasm. "Let's see if maybe I can figure out Wes's spot from the outside." Lucas said going around to the hangars. He looked down the first strip of hangars with no luck. He started on the second strip when something caught his eye. There was a sign on one of the spots with familiar handwriting on it.
Please do not touch cord going into the hangar.
It is for the engine so that it may be kept somewhat
warm during the colder months
Thanks
"Bingo, now to pick the lock," Lucas said with some delight as he took the lock picks out of the bag. He tried the first size, "Nope too small," He tried the next one, "Nope too big," He tried the next one, it clicked, and Lucas opened the hangar door.
"Hello Lucas,"
Clock Tower
Silver Hills
5:30 AM Local Time
After a walk through the town that they had protected five years ago, Trip and Katie entered their old home.
"Wow everything from the shop is still here." Katie remarked as she looked at the old signs and desk and other things around the ground floor. Trip however went up the old wooden stairs bringing back so many memories, but best of all pizza. The best food on Earth, according to him. Although if he were back on Xyberia, one of his mother's delicacies would come in a close second. He walked around, most of the things that made up their living area had been destroyed by the cyclobots when Eric and Wes needed to make their hasty escape. He heard Katie come up the stairs also admiring their old home.
"Not to be a kill joy Katie, but I think we need to get going so we can get there without waking anyone up on the way." Trip said then suddenly his morpher beeped, and an image of Lucas appeared
"Trip, are you there? Come in" Lucas said
"Yeah Lucas go ahead, is something wrong?"
"There's been a change in plans?" Lucas said
"What do you mean?" Trip questioned
"Wait at the timeship at the Silver Hills beach. I'll be there in an hour" Lucas said
"Got it," Trip said still confused by this change in plans
"Trip what's going on," Katie asked him getting closer to him.
"We need to go back to the timeship and wait for Lucas, something's happened" Trip said unsurely
"Is he alright?" Katie asked with concern
"I think so?" Trip responded, "But I think we should go back"
"Okay," Katie said puzzled and taking one look around the Clock Tower as they began to leave
Wes's Hangar
Silver Hills Airport
Year 2005
"Hello Lucas," Wes said calmly
"How?" Lucas questioned him
"Let's say that you guys forgot something when you left for the future," Wes said as he held up a computer disc
"What is that?" Lucas asked Wes
"I asked that same question when I went into the Clock Tower just after you all left. I spotted this disc and vowed to myself that five years later I would see what this was. Today I put this into my computer and found out that this allowed me to gain access to the Time Force Servers. I was curious as to what would happen to me. Supposedly I was going to die today in a plane crash on my way to my meeting with the investors. I found that quite peculiar because when I searched for myself, I found me living in the future in 3005. The computer told me nothing else about my future, so I assumed that TF was going to bring me into the future. And I assume that that is what you are here for Lucas." Wes said taking a sip from the coffee mug that he was holding. They shook hands and they stood against Wes's airplane.
"In terms of why I'm here, you hit the nail right on the head. Trip, Katie, and I are working for a secret black ops division of TF called APO. The whole deal with this organization is that we are taking out all dangerous criminals that need ranger assistance. Also there isn't red tape, TF doesn't care how we bring the person in, and they just want the job to get done. That's why we need you, we need the last ranger."
"So," Wes said questionably, "That means Jen's a member too, right?"
"How did I know that you were going to ask about her within the first two minutes of talking with you," Lucas said sarcastically "Sorry Wes but Alex and she got back together and they're getting married soon." Lucas said
"Oh, well, wow, uhh…," Wes stuttered with obvious disappointment in his face.
Lucas began to laugh
"You Ha Actually HAHAHAHAHA," Lucas laughed
"Oh man I should have known," Wes said "Okay but seriously what about Jen?"
"Jen's still single, and she hasn't dated anybody. Let's see. Alex and she tried to get things going, but then it didn't really work out. They're just friends Wes. She misses you." Lucas said
"I miss her as well," Wes said
"Well I assume that you want to go to the future?" Lucas said to Wes getting off of the airplane.
"Yes I will go," Wes said with some excitement, "I've already left letters with my father and Eric just saying that I'm going into the future and I probably won't be back unless TF can give me permission," Wes finished
"You seem to be handling this pretty well, you know leaving your whole life to come and help us." Lucas said to Wes
"Sure I'll miss my father and Eric but the only thing I have to say is this." Wes said
"What's that?" Lucas questioned
"Love and life are two very screwy things that somehow come together in a screwy way." Wes said
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Lucas asked
"You know I'm not really sure either," Wes said
"Well you're going to need some clothes and stuff like that right?" Lucas questioned
"I already took care of that," Wes said as he pulled out a large canvas material bag that seemed pretty full.
"And your morpher?" Lucas asked Wes
"Couldn't leave for the future without that now could I" Wes said excitedly because suddenly his morpher appeared on his wrist.
"How did you?" Lucas was stunned
"Dr. Zaskin took the liberty of putting these cloaking devices on Eric's and my morpher. On all the time, but can only be seen when you want them to" Wes said
"Well we got to move because we have to leave before it gets too light out." Lucas said hurriedly as the sky began to turn shades of bright pink and red, showing that morning was upon them.
"Quick, to my car I'll get us there faster than on foot" Wes said, as they headed to the SUV parked about 50 feet from them. They clambered into the car as Wes drove out towards the Silver Hills beach.
