Chapter Seven: An End To The Power.
Note: This marks the end of this story, my next one introduces the "Fire Squad" Rangers as a full unit being a feature team.
"Hey T-Rex." General Dickson said coming into the room where Jason was alone stretching out the muscles in his new body. "Hey Prince. What's up?" Jason asked happily. "Well; we are." Dickson told him. "Well that's a plus." There was a slight pause between the two. "Why did you do what you did?" Jason finally asked. "Why I saved you. No problems man." Dickson said before pausing. "Jason, the method I used hasn't been used in over eight thousand years. If I would have lost the connection before you were through we both would have died. I wasn't about to let you die." Jason sat listening before finally speaking up. "How'd you keep the connection?" Jason asked. "Your power coin is connected to your conciseness. I had Tommy hold the coin in your hand giving you something to go toward. However once you were back in your own body your conciesness stopped. That was a dangerous transfer. One that fails more than it works." Another pause and silence fills the room. "You know Angelos is letting you go home tomorrow." Dickson said breaking the silence. "That's good." Jason responds. "You can't use your powers until your body is completely settled and your muscles are stretched." Dickson explained. "Why do you do it?" Dickson looked a little stunned by the question from earths first modern day hero. "Huh?" Dickson finally let out. "Why do risk your life like that? I mean I saw Destany while you were in the infirmary. I mean no offense but she was a wreck." Jason said. "I have lost so much in my life, so many people taken from me. I can only do so much, but when I can save someone I will. People don't deserve loss like that." Dickson explained. "Come on. Finish up here and let's get you ready to go home." Dickson said grinning at Jason. Zordon's champion.
A Week Later In Angel Grove Park.
The rangers were having a barbeque to celebrate a victory and to welcome home Jason after his life threatening injury. "It's great to have you back Jason." Zack told him. "Thanks Zack-Man?" "Do you know if the general is gonna be here?" Andros asked. "He said he might show up later but he has something to do first." Destany informed them. "Burgers are done!" Rocky shouted from his grill. "Hot dogs anyone?" T.J shouted a few seconds later from his grill. The two blue rangers had been grilling almost two hours to get enough food to feed five teams (Zeo, Morphin', Astro, Black Knights, and Shadow Force were all there). It was a party to definitely going to be a party to remember.
Planet Mercury, 2027
While the party was going on in Angel Grove the man responsible for the rangers victory was back on his home planet sitting by a stasis pod holding his frozen wife. "We won again. I used The Maim Saber to do it but he needs to be destroyed. I'm sorry we didn't get him. Do you remember our first dance? Our song was on. You were wearing your red dress."
Dickson begins singing "Lady In Red" to his wife.
I've Never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonightI've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance
Given half a chance.
I've never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair
That catch your eyes
I have been blind.
The lady in red, is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
Just you and me
It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know, this beauty by my side
I'll never forget, the way you look tonight
I've never seen you look so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you smile so bright, you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away.
And I have never had such a feeling such a feeling
Of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The lady in red, is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget, the way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red
My lady in red
I love you
When Dickson finished he bowed his head and went home. He never saw the single tear that trickled down the cheek of the woman behind the glass.
Note: The song "Lady In Red" is performed by Chris De Burgh. The end of this leads into "A New Breed" Starring SPD B-Squad, and it introduces "Fire Squad". This will be the first story featuring "Fire Squad". Can Dickson, Tate, and Maxwell Hart-Oliver get along long enough todefend SPD in Krugers final mission?
