Task 09: It's a Power Ranger Life

Somewhere in Heaven, two angels are standing near a pool of water. This pool is sort of like a TV set that shows any person's life on Earth. Even the person's present and future. The angel on the left is a female with curly brown and breen eyes. She of course has her wings but no halo. The halo is actually a representation. The angel in front of her is a male angel. He has short jet black hair and no wings. Of course both are wearing white robes.

"So if I complete this mission, I can finally get my wings Angela?" the male angel asked.

"Of course." Angela said in a English accent. "Here is your mission Toby."

Angela waved her hand over the water and the image of a adult Justin was shown. "This is Justin Stewart, the Black Relic Power Ranger. He hasn't had a good life during his teen years. After his time as the Blue Turbo Ranger, his life took a drastic turn for the worse. He now has been getting by street racing and drinking himself into oblivion. There is going to be a Power Ranger gathering in a few hours. I'll tell you when it's a good time to go and complete your mission."

"What is my mission?" Toby said. "It looks like you want me to guard him and lead him to a better life."

"You guessed it exactly." Angela said. "I want you to show him that he is not a failure."

Christmas Eve, a time to spend with the family and celebrate the holiday season. Or is that Christmas Day? Whatever day it is, it's the holiday season. Mr. X wanted to make the Rangers have a good Christmas party. He spared no expense and with the help of Billy, found the previous Power Ranger teams before them current Ranger team.

It was hard to convince them to come to a Christmas party at the Angel Grove Convention Center, but the two managed. Right now the teams from the original to the Relic Hunters are there. The only exception is the Space Patrol Delta team, since they haven't formed yet. The Ranger teams shared stories of their adventures with the other teams. The Wild Force team was talking with the Mystic Force team. While the Time Force team chatted away Lost Galaxy team.

Everybody is in the festive mood this evening. Unfortunately, Justin's alcohol problem and attitude towards Leo may just ruin that festive mood. Because right now Justice is sitting at the bar getting drunk.

"Justin! I thought you were a recovering alcoholic." Cassie from the Turbo and Astro team said. The Astro team had heard about Justin's sad life story and his addiction to booze. She really liked Justin as a friend and cared for him. She even heard of him becoming the Black Relic Ranger.

"I am, just a little alcohol won't hurt." Justin replied.

"A little?" TJ said. "Justin you just drank ten shots of tequila already. That's more than just a little."

"He's right Justin." Leo said as he sat down next to Justin. "You've had more than a little. You've had enough to be almost drunk."

"I think he already is drunk." TJ said.

"Yeah maybe the wanker is already drunk." Leo said. Despite the fact that Cassie and TJ warned him not to say anything insulting. Because drunks can take it the wrong way.

"What did you just call me?" Justin said. "Did you just call me a wanker?"

"I guess I have a foot in the mouth disease. Oops."

Justin gets mad and punches Leo in the face. A fight breaks out that leaves Tommy, Conner, Carter and Zack to break it up.

"You son of a bitch!" Justin shouted trying to break Conner and Tommy's grip on him.

"You know Justin, I'm tired of your attitude!" Leo shouted back. "Why don't go somewhere to cool down and sober up!"

The two are let go, but are being watched in case they go at it again. Justin just nods at Leo's suggestion and takes out his morpher. He then hands it to Leo and walks out of the building. Ayumi saw the whole exchange and chased after him. "Wait Justin-kun!"

"Leave me alone Ayumi." Justin said. "I quit. I don't want to be a Power Ranger anymore."

Justin takes his UNAS Power Ranger jacket, the Ranger's uniform and drops it onto the street. Ayumi picks it up and cries.

---

Oragami, Kikyo and Yaiba watched as Justin dropped his jacket and walked off. If Oragami could smile, he would do so right now. "Perfect! The Black Ranger is no longer a Ranger! We can now crush the Rangers in one swift blow!"

"There is still the question of the other teams." Yaiba said. "Suppose they still have their powers..."

"Nonsense Yaiba." Oragami said. "Most of them are powerless. Some don't want their powers back."

"How would you know?" Kikyo asked.

"Just a feeling I have." Oragami replied. "Now we have to prepare the monster to destroy the Power Rangers!"

---

Justin went to another bar to get completely wasted. Of course he's now in a depressed mood after quitting like that. He now feels like his life has become meaningless.

"God...save me." he said silently. Justin drank a few more drinks before paying for them and leaving. He was now officially drunk.

Justin got into his car and drove away. Eventually he crashed into the side of a tree and took a couple pieces of the bark and the tree itself off. Justin got out and closed the door. The owner of the yard and the tree got out to survey the damage.

"My great grandfather planeted that tree!" the owner said. He just watched Justin walk away from him. "Hey! Come back here you drunk!"

Justin ignored him and continued till he reached the Angel Bridge. Looking down into the water, Justin knew the cold water would give him hyperthermia and kill him. He decided to end his life right there. He tries to jump over the rail and that's when Toby appeared to get him away from it. Which Toby was successful at doing. Despite Justin's cries to let him go.

"What the hell?" Justin looked at Toby. "Why did you keep me from jumping and who the hell are you?"

"I'm your guardian angel." Toby replied.

"Let me guess. You're going to show me what life would be like if I wasn't born, right?" Justin asked. "I've seen It's A Wonderful Life douchebag."

"Well I wasn't going to show you. But if you insist." toby snapped his fingers and a flash of light appeared. Everything looked the same though.

"Everything still looks the same."

Toby grinned. "Believe me it's not. Now come on."

---

The first stop was the place Justin crashed his car. The car wasn't there nor was the chip in the bark.

"Wait a minute..." Justin inspected the tree. "My car was here. Where is it?"

"It's not your car. Not in this time period anyway." Toby said. "You see, I'm showing you what the world is like if you weren't born."

"You're joking right?" Justin walked away. "You're just yanking my leg."

"Oh really. How about we visit that bar you were just at."

---

Justin saw the sign and couldn't believe his eyes. "Lothor owns this bar?"

"He does from the looks of it." Toby said. "Though I wouldn't go in there if I were you."

"I don't think I want to go in there if Lothor is running the place." Justin said. "Besides Angel Grove looks like a hellhole."

Justin looked all around and the city looked like a disaster area. "What happened to the city?"

"Since you weren't born, then the Power Rangers lost. Because you weren't born. There was no one to take Rocky's place when he injured himself. There was no one to take control of the Blue Turbo Ranger powers Justin. When the Turbo Rangers went to fight the demon Maligore and Divatox, Rocky was resting and waiting till his wounds were healed. Unfortunately, they were defeated by then and couldn't form the Turbo Megazord. So the four Turbo Zords that went into battle were destroyed."

"Toby, what happened to the Power Rangers?" Justin looked at the guardian angel. "I need to know what happens if I was never born."

"Follow me."

---

Toby teleported Justin and him to a location nearby the Wind Ninja Academy. They hid in the forest as there were students on patrol.

"Here we are." Toby said. "The only remaining Power Ranger team left. Only problem is they're fighting a uphill battle on a ninety degree angle cliff. As they're fighting every single villian the Rangers faced. Trakeena, Ransik, Dark Specter, all of them."

"What about the Rangers that came before the Ninja Storm team?"

"Well..." Toby said. "It'll be better to show you kid. Come on."

Toby lead the Black Ranger through the forest to a shrine at the top of a hill. Past the shrine was a cemetary. In that cemetary were the past Ranger teams that have fought and lost their lives.

"Oh my God..."

Toby walked up behind him. "Surprising isn't it? You'd think their bodies would be cremated and forgotten. But no. They're buried here. Take a good look Justin. Every team to rise up and fight lost their lives. Look at what would happen to the Power Rangers if you weren't born."

Justin too a good long look. From Tommy to Nick. They were all there. "I take it SPD won't be formed now?"

"Yes but they may lose as well." Toby replied. "Do you wish to commit suicide now?"

"No... I want to keep on living! I don't want the world to belong to those the Rangers have fought! I want to live Toby!"

Toby smirked. "I knew you'd say that."

---

Toby teleported Justin back to the bridge and restored everything to normal.

"Well Justin." Toby said. "Everything is back to normal. Now go back to that party and apologize."

Toby smiled and vanished. Justin took a few steps away from the bridge, when a car stopped beside him. Tim rolled down the passenger window.

"Justin, get in." Tim said. "We've got a problem."

"What kind of problem?"

"It's the Syndicate. They've sent a monster to attack Angel Grove. The others are fighting it right now."

Justin got in and Tim drove off.

---

Leo was knocked back by the monster's claws. It was a blue Santa Claus type monster. made from blue cloth and a plastic Santa decoration. The monster continued to knock by the Relic Hunter Rangers. As the other Ranger teams watched on.

"I wish Justin would hurry up and get here." Tommy said to Shane. "They need his help."

"I doubt that Tommy." Shane replied. "Looks like this monster is to strong for them."

Several laser blasts hit the monster in the chest. The Rangers saw a morphed Justin and Tim run up to them.

"He made it back!" Tori shouted.

The Relic Hunter Rangers were glad to see him back. Even the Turbo Rangers were glad he's back.

"Justin. I'm sorry for calling you a wanker earlier." Leo said.

"Say your apologies till we've stopped Blue Santa." Justin said.

The Rangers stood in a line. Leo called on Merlin to help them. Tim stood in the line and strapped a two part morpher to his wrist.

"You've got a morpher Tim?" Naomi asked.

"Consider it as Christmas present from Mr. X to me." Tim said. "Ready guys?"

"READY!"

"Crimson Ranger! Engage!" Tim called out and morphed into a crimson red Power Ranger.

"They're running out of colors." Hunter said. Blake nodded in agreement.

"POWER RANGERS RELIC HUNTERS!"

Justin called for the Accel Blaster. It was quickly put on and set it for the cement side. Firing a blob of cement, the monster was quickly encased in it. Justin then fired the drill head and the monster was destroyed. To the cheers of the other Ranger teams.

"Crap! A lot of good Blue Santa did!" Oragami said. "Let's retreat for now."

---

Justin sat at the bar again. This time he was drinking cola. He's had way to much to drink for one evening. Rangers walked by and congratulated Justin and the other members of his team on a job well done. Leo then sat next to Justin.

"Sorry about what happened earlier." Leo said. "It was wrong of me to say it."

"Apology accepted and I forgive you Leo. You kno we've butted heads a lot this year. Maybe in 2007, we'll stop our fighting."

"Hopefully we will." Leo said.

The party continued for a couple more hours before the Rangers decided to return home. Angela and Toby sat on the rafters in the ceiling. Toby also has his wings.

"Well looks like a job well done Toby." Angela said.

"Thanks." Toby said with a smile. "What do we do now?"

"We keep watch on Justin for the new year. He's going to need our help."

"Yeah." Toby said.

Author's Comment: I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I hope you got lots of great gifts. I also want to say this is the last chapter of my fanfiction for the year 2006. See you all next year. Next year when Relic Hunters return, we'll find out who Derek is working for at long last. Not only that but the Crimson Ranger powers will be handed over to someone you'd least expect would join the Rangers. Finally Tim will leave the team to work on the new Hunters. That's why someone else is taking over the Crimson Ranger powers during Tim's absence. See you all in 2007.
