Chapter Thirteen-In Which A Story Is Told And A Battle/Rescue Attempt Begin
"We," Ada began, "Are from the future."
The older rangers were silent with thought. Which gave Ada the chance to continue uninterrupted.
"My name is Ada Park, this is my younger brother, Kyle, and our friend, Sam Stewart. We came from thirty four years in the future, to correct the past. We have already explained all of this to everyone, but there's really a bigger story behind all of it." Ada said. "While my grandma, Kyle's too, was in a coma for the past about three years, she was really in the future in a sort of spirit-ish form."
"How far in the future?" Billy asked, now interrupting.
"About fourteen years." Ada answered. "It was when mom and Uncle David were sixteen-"
"Woah!" Rocky suddenly interrupted. "You're mother is..."
Ada smiled. "Ann Oliver Park. You don't know my dad yet, but he's your son, Tanya and Adam."
"We don't have any children." Tanya automatically answered.
"I said you didn't know dad yet." Ada said. "Don't give up hope. Anyway, yeah, Tommy and Kim are my grandparents as well as Tanya and Adam."
"Mine too." Kyle reminded his sister. Ada nodded.
"Anyway," Ada continued, "While she was there, Uncle Billy built a time machine and sent mom and Uncle david to the past. Right now, actually."
"Then why aren't they here?" Trini questioned.
"Because everything changed." Ada answered. "While they were in the past, they fixed everything that was supposed to be fixed, just like they were supposed to, but instead of disappearing into the time stream, they ended up back in their own time. But in a universe different from the one they were originally from. While there, they were supposed to go back to the past again, to keep the time stream on track. But they didn't know that.
"So, nothing was changed, and they ended up back in their universe, if you can call it that. There, they told Grandma Kim, who was still in her coma in this time but in the future in that spirit form I told you about, everything that had happened in the past and what to do to fix it when she went back. And when she eventually did go back, she actually did do everything according to plan. But unfortunately for them, when they were fighting with Scarlette they were just too outnumbered, and they lost. Everyone but Billy and Conner was taken prisoner.
"Everyone else was kept in a sort of time freeze in the dark dimension in the moon palace. They stayed there for thirty four years. In the mean time, Uncle Billy and Aunt Trini took mom and Uncle David in, and they , along with the other remaining original rangers moved to the aquabase. Two years or so later, Tanya moved in with dad. They've all been there ever since. But recently, Crystal was able to rescue our grandparents from the dark dimension. We don't know how she was able to, or why it was just them. All we know is that she saved them.
"So, that brings us to where we are right now. Time travel was our only option to fix everything, and it happened before, so we decided to try it again. And this time, we intend to fix things the first time around." Ada finished.
Everyone was silent for a moment. They all seemed to be busy processing everything they had just heard, and trying to figure out what it all meant. Kira was the first one to speak.
"Um...who's Crystal?" She asked.
"Scarlette's younger sister." Ada said nonchalantly. "Nice lady, really."
Jason snorted. "Someone related to Rita and Zedd? Nice? What kind of future are you from?"
"The kind where you would take my explanation without question." Ada responded. "And yeah, she's their daughter. And she's good."
"And at this time, she's only a little girl." Sam added. He turned to Ada. "What is she? Five?"
Ada nodded. She, in turn, turned to Kyle. "That's where he comes in. Well, sort of, anyway. Don't tell me none of you find it odd that Dulcea made a four-year-old a ranger."
"I always thought that woman was crazy." Adam muttered.
"We think so too." Sam said reassuringly. "Now, who's up for a little fighting?"
"Where exactly are we?"
"Duh, we're on the moon."
"Yeah, I guessed that much."
The twelve rangers had been teleported to the moon from the dino lair, but they didn't know where they were on the moon. Haley had said she would try to get them as close as possible to the palace, but it was nowhere in sight.
"I don't see anything, do you?" Kat asked Aisha.
"Nope, not a thing." Came the reply. "Unless of course you are counting the empty landscape, and all of the moon dust. Then I see something. But other than that, no."
"Hey Billy, do you think that maybe Zedd's shield is still in place?" Adam asked.
"That's impossible. It would have gone done when he was destroyed. It was made by his magic, and when he died, his magic died with him." Billy answered.
"Then where is the moon palace? I don't see anything except for moon dust." Rocky said.
All of a sudden, there was a shimmer of light in front of them, and Billy, who had been walking in front, got thrown back.
"Well," Billy said getting up. "I think we found something.
"Haley?" He continued into his communicator. "Can you hear me?"
"Loud and clear. Did you find them?" Haley's voice crackled over the device on his wrist.
"No, not yet. When you teleported us here, where did you send us?" Billy asked.
"I sent you to the only coordinates I have for the moon palace. As far as I can tell, they sent you to about five yards from the spot where the shield used to be."
"Well, I've got some news for you. The shield is still there, and we can't get through it. Do you think you could help us on that?"
"I'll do what I can." Haley told him.
A moment later, the shield shimmered in front of them again, then it was gone, and everyone could see the Moon Palace standing one hundred feet away from them.
"Thanks Haley."
"No problem guys, good luck."
"Thanks again, we'll contact you when we find them, or if we need some backup." Billy informed her.
"Got it."
Billy turned off his communicator and started walking towards the moon palace, this time with Kat.
"So Kat, any idea where we are going?"
"Nope. But I might be able to find the throne room once we get inside."
"In that case lead on."
"Yeah." Agreed Rocky. "The sooner we rescue them, the sooner we can get back. I'm starving."
"That's Rocky, always thinking of his stomach." Aisha said, trying very hard not to laugh. She couldn't laugh now, this was a very serious situation.
"Everyone be very quiet, we don't know what's in there." They had reached the entrance to the palace.
"When we get inside, I will lead you to the throne room." Kat continued. "After that, we should be able to find where they are being kept, if they are even here."
"What if they aren't here?" Trent asked.
"Then we are back at square one. But I'm pretty sure someone is here. Someone went to all of that trouble making sure the palace was hidden, and it had to be someone pretty powerful, this palace is huge." Kat informed everyone.
One by one, the eleven rangers followed Kat into the palace. They followed her through passageways, hidden doors, and other rooms. They had been in the palace for ten minutes, when they stopped outside of a door that looked pretty important.
"Well, here we are. This is the door into the throne room."
All of a sudden, they heard voices coming from within the room. They all leaned closer to hear what the voices were saying.
"-the most powerful of all. Nothing can stop us once the three of them are out of the way. It will be the most powerful union in the entire universe. All we have to do now is get that meddlesome little girl out of the way. From there, the two little brats should be no problem."
"But how are we going to destroy the pink ranger?" A familiar voice asked. No one knew who the first voice belonged to, although she did sound something like Rita Repulsa, but not quite the same. Younger maybe, and not fully used to being in charge of everything.
"That's just it. We aren't going to destroy her, her precious power rangers will take care of that. At this very moment, she is being disguised as a monster, then she will be sent to Reefside, to destroy all of those power rangers, at least that's what she thinks she'll be doing. They are too powerful for any monster, history has proven that. They will destroy her for us. And when that happens, the spell will break, and they will realize what they have done. For once, evil will win, and it will be all the fault of the side of good."
"That is a very good plan, mistress." The male voice said.
"Yes, I know it is." The familiar sounding voice replied.
Then, everything was silent in the throne room. But that didn't mean they could go in there. The two evil people would probably kill them. Whoever they were.
"Billy." Hissed Aisha, motioning for him to follow her a little outside of the group. "Did you recognize that other voice, the one that hardly said anything."
"I'm afraid I did. I regret to say that there is no other person that voice could belong to except for…"
"Tommy." Aisha finished for him. "That was what I was afraid of. Do you think anyone else heard it?"
"I highly doubt that anyone recognized the voice as that of our former leader, mentor, and grandfather."
When Aisha just looked at him he hastened to explain.
"I mean no."
"Oh, ok."
The two Ninjetti rejoined the group.
"They're gone." Kyle announced suddenly.
"Who's gone?" Rocky questioned.
"They are." KYle said, pointing to the door. "They left."
"How do you know?" Rocky questioned.
"Because I heard them leave." KYle answered. "Why? Didn't you?"
"No." Rocky answered.
"Well," Billy interrupted, "As amusing and enlightening as this conversation has been to watch, Kyle was correct. They have left the throne room."
Ada cautiously opened the door wider than Billy had, and slowly walked in.
Everyone followed her into the throne room at a close distance.
"Well, this place sure hasn't changed." Kat said softly, looking around. The only way out of the room, beside the door behind them was another door at the other end of the room. Not counting the balcony overlooking the landscape of the moon, which also had a very good view of Earth. "That door over there leads into Zedd's study. They must have gone into it."
"What is that?" Kira asked, pointing to something gold, that was shining, while hanging in midair, next to Zedd's throne.
"That, is a dark dimension." Billy said. "When it is visible, that means someone is in it."
"So they could have gone into there?" Ethan asked.
"I find that highly unlikely. By the sound of it, they have everything they need, for now. The twin's are probably in there. Goldar is probably in there with them."
"Guess again rangers." Came a voice from behind them. It was Goldar.
"We'll get the twins." Ada said quickly. "You guys fight him off and see if you can draw grandpa and Scarlette out."
Rocky grinned as he turned back to Goldar, to draw the attention away from the other three.
"So, my best pal, monkey-brains, how's it been?"
Goldar snarled at him. "You, are going to pay, ranger."
A grin lit up Rocky's face behind his helmet.
"This, is gonna be fun."
a/n-not to confuse anyone, all of the past, present, and future ninjetti are on the moon. most of this chapter was adapted from Eagle and Dove, if you think it seems familiar. and rocky wasn't the only one tryng to distract goldar at the end. he was just the only one i seemed to deem worthy enough to have an actual speaking part. that's all. hope u enjoyed it. more as soon as possible, school's almost over for the year!
