Chapter Ten-In Order To Fix Things

"I have a plan." Billy announced.

He, along with Trini and Hayley had all decided to stay behind while everyone else went to the Command Center. The three of them, all being rather smart, were brainstorming ideas on how to save all of the other rangers. And apparently, he had just had an idea on how to do just that.

"What is it?" His wife demanded.

"Time travel." Billy answered with a smile on his face.

Both women just sat there, staring at him as if he had gone crazy.

"What? It could work." Billy insisted. "Kim gave me the idea. She said she came to the future and met the twins as teenagers, right? Well, what if we somehow made an actual time machine to get to the past before Scarlette captured them?"

"It could work." Trini said slowly. She turned to Hayley for support. "Right?"

Hayley nodded. "And I happen to have an excellent idea of how to skip past the hard part."

"What's the hard part though?" Trini asked.

"Building the time machine." Billy answered softly. "And to skip past that part..."

"We need to contact Time Force." Hayley finished.

"Yeah, but how do we do that?" Billy asked.

"We need the Silver Guardians." Trini stated.

"We need a plan." Ann stated, pacing up and down in front of the disfunctional viewing globe. "We have to have a plan before we do anything stupid to try and get the others back."

"So..." David said slowly. "Anyone have any ideas for a plan?"

No one moved or said a word.

"We are so screwed." Kimmie muttered.

"And you are so lucky you're parents aren't here." Kim informed her.

"Oh, but we are." A voice said from behind Ann. Who, in turn, turned to glare at Zordon once she saw who had just appeared on the viewing globe.

"So, it doesn't work, huh?" She said.

"Trini!" Zordon said, totally ignoring Ann's comment. "Billy! And..."

"Hayley." Hayley supplied. "And we have a plan."

"I knew we kept you smart people around for a reason." Tommy muttered.

"I'm touched." Trini said dryly. "Now, back to the point. We have an idea on how to fix everything. But in order to do so, we need to contact the Silver Guardians. They must know how to contact Time Force, right?"

This pronouncement was met by shocked silence. Ada spoke first

"Uh, what's the Silver Guardians?"

"And what's Time Force?" Sam added.

"Did you never tell them anything?" Tommy questioned Ann. "About the power rangers? This stuff is common knowledge."

"I can't be responsible for what Sam does or doesn't know." Ann snapped at her father. "As for Ada and Kyle, can you honestly tell me that you would have told David and I about you and mom, and everyone else being rangers?"

"You're right, Ann." Kim said, cutting off Tommy's reply. "We wouldn't have told you two. But don't get mad at him. He- well all of us really- are just surprised that you don't know anything about the power rangers. Just because your parents didn't want to tell you anything about us or them being rangers, doesn't mean you shouldn't know a thing about the rangers. Everyone knows something about the power rangers."

"Yeah, everyone 'cept us." Ada muttered.

"But on to the more important issue." David cut in. "Time Force was a ranger team before Dino Thunder, which was the team dad started when he first came to Reefside. They were from the year 3000. The Silver Guardians were a private security organization, but after the rangers went back to the future, it became a peace keeping organization. Oh yeah, and the co-leaders of it are two of the former rangers."

"Who might be able to contact the future for us." Sam finished. He turned back to the viewing globe. "So, any idea on how to call them?"

"Did you look it up?" jen questioned Katie, who nodded. "What did it say?"

"They never saw anyone but the three Ninjetti rangers, but there was some sort of ship in the yard." Katie looked up at Jen here. "And it's description perfectly matches the time ship."

"So, we say yes?" Lucas asked. "If they call..."

"They'll call." Trip said positively. "It's the only way to save everyone else from Scarlette. Besides, time travel solves everything, doesn't it?"

"Not everything." Jen said softly. Then, she looked back up at her assembled team. "So, we're all in agreeance? If they call, we help."

As one, the other three time force rangers nodded.

"Anything to help a fellow ranger." Katie said,speaking for all of them.

This plan has to work. Scarlette thought to herself, as she gazed at the frozen rangers before her in a contemplative silence. I need to destroy all of the rangers once and for all. The Morphin' Grid's re-activation can only mean one thing. And that thing, is Zordon.

Zordon.

He ruined everything. Him and his stupid rangers. They destroyed my life, and my parent's. If it weren't for Zordon, my parent's would still be around. They wold still like me better than Crystal. they would still want me to be the Empress after dad, instead of Crystal. They would still want revenge on Zordon, like I do. They would still be evil.

If it weren't for Zordon, we could still be a family.

Scarlette was torn from her thoughts by the sudden arrival of General Haxel in the Dark Dimension.

"What do you want?" She snapped at him.

"Mistress," He started hurriedly, "I've got him."

An evil smile lit up her face.

"Good."

So much for not having a family anymore. Scarlette thought to herself. Besides, I always liked Uncle Rito. Time for a family reunion.
