Chapter Twenty Eight-Changes That Should Have Happened
"Who are you?" Ann questioned the two new arrivals.
"No time to answer that now." Alternate Ann replied to herself. "We have to get out of here now."
"I'm not leaving until you tell me who you are." Ann argued. "And we have to take care of those two first."
But meanwhile, Goldar and Haxel were arguing amongst themselves.
"Do we still attack?" Haxel questioned. "Who knows where those putties are. And now there are nine of them."
"So?" Goldar said. "Like you already said, there are nine of them. And we have no idea what happened to those putties. We need to go tell Scarlette about the three new rangers. If you can't recall last time we saw them, there were only six."
"Fine." Haxel mumbled. "We go."
The two teleported back to the moon palace. The Alternate Ann turned to herself.
"Can we go now?"
"Fine."
"Should we go to the command center?" David interrupted. "We don't know if we can trust the two of them."
"We could bring you to our command center." Alternate David answered. "I'm sure it's still there."
"Whatever." Ann said. "As long as you explain everything."
"It'll be a little hard." Ann replied. "But we'll try."
"So." Ted said. "How do we get to this command center."
"Uh, good question." Alternate Ann said. "Where exactly are we?"
"Downtown Reefside." Jason answered promptly.
Before the alternate twins could say anything though, Kimmie interrupted.
"Um, do you guys think we could maybe get out of here? In case you haven't noticed we are nine power rangers, in full uniform, standing in the middle of a public area full of civilians. Not to mention the fact that the monsters already left."
"We'll just take you to our command center." Ann said quickly. "It'll be easier."
So, the nine rangers hurriedly teleported to the command center where they were awaited by quite a few anxious people.
Upon their arrival in the main room though, they found it quite deserted. The only inhabitant's of the room were Kim, from the past, and Zordon.
"Welcome back." He said. But he appeared to be addressing the two new arrivals. How did he know them? "I had everyone empty this room so we could have some privacy while discussing the two of you. Or maybe I should say three."
"What the heck is going on here?" Ann asked. "These two just appeared out of nowhere. Then the two bad guys left. Now we're here. What's going on?"
"I can explain part of that." Alternate Ann volunteered.
Alternate David shook his head. "Always has to be in the spotlight."
"Zip it." His sister shot a glare at him.
"Whatever." Jason said. He was used to his older siblings pointless bantering by now. Little did he know, these two were in fact one of his older brothers, and his older sister.
"Anyway." Alternate Ann continued. "I can explain part of this. But I will need to start at the very beginning.
"Roughly seventeen years ago, my mother slipped and fell, going into a coma that lasted for the better part of three years. While in that coma however, she was somehow transported into the future, where she met me and my brother. To make that very long story short however, she spent about three years in that time then went back to her time where she had been in a coma. She woke up, came home, and was kidnapped the next day by none other than the friendly neighborhood watchdog, Goldar."
"Watch-monkey." Alternate David corrected. "In no way does he resemble a dog."
"Don't interrupt." Both Ann's snapped at the same time.
Alternate Ann continued with her story. "So, she woke up, got kidnapped, and me and my oh-so-wonderful brother over there went from the future to change the past because in our future we were basically orphans, living with our aunt and uncle. They were two of our parents' best friends. Never had any kids of their own though. They were too busy protecting us."
"Protecting you from what?" Ann interrupted.
"How come you don't yell at her when she interrupts?" Alternate David asked. "Is that only me you do that to?"
"Yes. They were protecting us from the evil that wanted us dead."
"Why did they want you dead?" Kaylie asked curiously.
The alternate twins looked at her for a moment.
"You're a Scott." Alternate Ann stated.
"How did you know?"
"You just reminded me of someone I knew a really long time ago." Alternate Ann said sadly. "I haven't seen either of them since that day."
"What day?" Ted asked.
"The day we lost dad forever. The day mom died. The day Kira died. The day our lives changed forever."
"Oh yeah." Alternate David added. "And they wanted us dead because we where the only ones who could save dad. Mom could have helped, if she had been alive. There should have been others as well."
"Does anyone get any of this?" Crystal asked.
"Yes." Kim said quietly. She smiled sadly at the alternate twins. "Kimberly told me everything. I'm so sorry."
"It wasn't your fault." Alternate Ann stated firmly. "Nothing could have prevented any of it. And you died to save us anyway. Because of you, we are here today."
"I know. But that doesn't mean I can't feel bad. I was a terrible mother."
"No you weren't." Alternate David said. "You were never a terrible mother. And if that ever did happen in our time, it didn't here. Every single person in this room is proof of that."
"Once again." Crystal said. "Not understanding a single thing here."
"Join the club." Jason muttered.
"I think I will." Kimmie said.
"Sounds like a good idea to me." Kaylie said. She looked very confused.
"I would." Ted said. "But I've never really been one for clubs and all."
"I will never understand humans." Crystal stated.
"I will never understand any of you." Ann said. She turned to the alternate twins. "Care to elaborate on anything? In case you haven't noticed, we aren't getting anything out of this."
Alternate Ann sighed. "Very well. There really isn't any easy way to say this, so here it goes. My name is Ann Trinity Oliver-Hart, and this is my twin brother, David Jason Oliver-Hart. We are technically from this time period, but we don't belong here. When we were two and a half years old, our mother died and our father was abducted by the empress of all evil. The only way to save him was to go to the past, so our Uncle Billy built a time machine and sent us here. We ended up saving mom, dad, and Kira, who also died in the battle. When we saved mom, we thought we would have just disappeared."
"We should have disappeared." Alternate David cut in. "Unless our mission isn't over yet?"
"You have completed what you set out to do." Zordon said. "But not all that needs to be done."
"Uh, did they just say what I think they just said?" Ted asked.
"Depends." Jason answered. "Do you think they just said that they are basically my older siblings who are from an alternate time period, and who should not be here right now?"
"Did you just say your older siblings?" Alternate Ann asked, cutting Ted off. Jason nodded.
"Well, at least that part worked." Alternate David sighed. "What are we doing here Zordon?"
"Ann and David Oliver." Zordon began. Both sets of twins looked at him. "Ok, Alternate Ann and David Oliver. I realize that after your mission was completed, you were basically supposed to disappear into the time stream. But that isn't what happened."
"You can say that again." Alternate Ann muttered.
"But now that you are here, I think I know how you can be useful." Zordon continued. "Since you came here, to this point in time, there is something that you need to do."
"We'll do anything for you Zordon." Alternate David said.
"You can never go back to your family, or the life you had before." Zordon warned. "You are stuck in this time period forever."
"What do you need us to do?" Alternate Ann asked impatiently.
"Some things never change." Kim muttered. "Always so impatient."
"The two of you are going to go back home with the rangers from Eltar." Zordon said.
