Disclaimer: My first venture into the Power Ranger Fandom. I do not own Power Rangers other than my OC's. There will be slash in here. You get to guess whom! There is also the element of time travel and there will be flashback chapters (just as a warning if things get confusing). Obviously I have no BETA so I apologize for any grammatical mistakes in advance. WARNING: SLASH (BOYXBOY) in this fic. Griffin will be traveling back in time to when the Thunder and Wind Rangers have already become a Team and Cam has already gained his Samurai Powers.
This chapter introduces connections to other seasons BEYOND Ninja Storm and Lightspeed Rescue (if you weren't able to figure out the later from the previous clues)
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
QUICK RECAP
The reason why Dustin trusted Hunter explicitly
Dustin's attempted suicide
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
Dustin Brooks was not the brawn (Hunter, Shane, and Blake), the brains (Cam), or the beauty (Tori). Shane was the good intentioned leader. Blake was the relaxed guy that was ready to help everyone. Tori as the only female was the voice of reason for the other five Rangers. Cam was the brains that ran everything. Hunter was the dark and broody one. However he was the only one that broke through his false persona, and had also stolen his heart.
Ironically he was the heart and spirit of the team. He was also comic relief when things got to stressful. So it came to be quite a surprise to the others when he dropped it all and left without a word to anyone (other than Sensei Watanabe and somewhat to Hunter. The sexual tension between the two was almost as bad if not worse than that of Tori and Blake. Both couples played stupid to their friends and acted as if they did not know the other reciprocated their feelings. Hunter and Dustin were still taking it slow, but were basking in the glory of having someone to cuddle with after a hard day or someone to call your own.
The only person who saw him as more than the ditzy Yellow Ranger was his student and friend Griffin. The time traveling ninja in training gave him a new purpose in life. It was like a chance to prove himself to the others. As Griffin got stronger it was (or should have been) a sign of his own strength and abilities (as a true ninja only reveals their skills when necessary, showing off puts your enemies at an advantage for they will learn how to counter your skills).
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
Speaking of said student, Griffin was currently on his way with R (its Ryan from Lightspeed if you haven't figured in out yet…) to an undisclosed location at the current moment. The two were supposed to meet up with A.F-R (Angela Fairweather-Rawlings) the creator of Lighspeed's Rescue Morphers. However an attack on the new Lightspeed Aquabase had caused a change of plans. The pair of blondes were now currently on their way to visit another blonde.
"Griff wake up" Ryan said as he attempted to nudge Griffin awake while maintaining both hands on the wheel of the SUV.
"Five more minutes Mr. Hunky Blonde Ranger" Griffin mumbled in his sleep much to the embarrassment of Ryan.
"WAKE UP YOU BRAT!!" he yelled into the younger blonde's ear.
Griffin jerked awake and snapped, "I'M AWAKE!"
Ryan did not inform him of what he said in his sleep, it would be great blackmail for later on.
"So Sleeping Beauty feeling better?"
"Are we there yet?"
"The pilot said we are approaching our destination. Do you not fly often?"
"I don't get motion sickness, but flying still bothers me."
"Was it wise having me whip you up pasta then?"
Griffin pondered but the replied. "I was hungry and it was good, so it was definitely worth it" he answered with a million kilowatt grin.
'He's going to be the death of me' they both thought of the other.
"So R or should I say Mr. Ryan Mitchell Titanium Ranger, son of Captain Mitchell of Lightspeed and brother to the Pink Ranger Dana Mitchell, who are we meeting?"
"Well while we're on the matter, Griffin Bradley son of Hunter Bradley, is there anything else you would like to get off your chest?"
"What are you talking about?" Griffin asked defensively.
"You are not the only member of the Wind Academy to contact Lightspeed."
Griffin left it at that as it were either Sensei Watanabe which, was most likely or Sensei Brooks. He didn't have the heart to think of him as Dustin whenever his training was concerned. Dustin didn't seem like the type to be involved with government secrets and saving the world outside of the ninja world.
"Are you done fucking with me?"
"Why Griffin I didn't know you swung that way."
Griffin became red.
"Now Griff I am flattered but we have business to attend to. We are going to meet a predecessor of some sorts as well as an old friend of mine."
"That still doesn't answer my question jack ass."
"Language mister. I am older than you, taller than you, and have more power than you. Technically I outrank you."
"So what? Everyone has their weakness and I know what yours is. It's not like I didn't come unprepared Mr. Cloak. Do you have some sick fascination with the Death Eaters from Harry Potter or something? Dude you like gave me a heart attack then."
"That's besides the point" Ryan replied defensively while turning Crimson.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of R. As long as you don't pretend to be casting spells everywhere and especially not in public it's fine. What you read on your own time is none of my business as long as you are not masturbating to images of me."
Ryan face faulted.
'I take it he has?' Griffin thought.
'Why do blondes have to be so difficult? Must he interpret everything as me flirting with him? I don't even like men! Dana is going to have a field day with this when she finds out sadly' Ryan thought.
"Do you want to lay down until we land? We still have the good part of an hour left."
"I think I might. Just don't try anything funny Titanium Ranger. I am no pushover."
"I know. I would prefer to keep all my anatomy intact thank you very much. I heard about your exploits with sharp and pointy metallic objects Mr. Bradley."
Griffin turned a shade of Crimson that would have made his father proud.

At the top of the very cliff where Griffin first set things straight with Dustin, over looking the harbor is a dark haired figure, who walks away from it and towards the woods. He wears a cloak (with the hood down hence us knowing what color hair he has) with a blank white mask with a small sword hidden under his cloak. His short dark hair is the only feature visible to the naked eye, but unique watch or adornment on his wrist seems out of place. This one striking feature was a bad omen indeed. In a swirl of green light the figure was gone.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
Two people walk through a darkened alley, the first is a blonde female with her blonde hair flowing in the wind with an umbrella in her right arm. The second is a young man in a hoodie with and a poster tube strapped to his back. The girl spins the umbrella as if it's a baton. They continue walking until they too disappear, but this time into two additional colors of light.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
A lone male in a polo is riding his motorcycle on the freeway. His head is completely covered by his helmet. Like the others he too has a strange metallic object on his left wrist.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles
A female is studying something carefully. There is something familiar in her posture. The attire is not something we are used to, but there is an air of confidence that is refreshingly familiar. She too has a metallic object on her wrist. The woman snaps out of her daze and looks up at the clock. She throws aside her lab coat and walks out the door, car keys in hand.

"You need to warn them."
"But…"
"Let the rules be damned."
"But…"
"The very stability of the future is at stake."
"But…"
"You are the only one in their era. We cannot attempt time travel unless it is absolutely necessary."
"But…"
"We've done this once, you can handle it again. And last I heard HE is still single."
"I hate you Katie."
"Jen, Mother always knows best."
"That's not even funny."
"Be careful."
"I will. You have the information on the others correct?"
"It was a lot of work. You owe me."
"The fate of the world and namely the future is at stake and that's all you can think of?"
"We're Power Rangers, we can handle anything. So when this is all said and done you still owe me."
"Fine."
"Maybe there will be a Yellow Ranger Reunion sooner of later."
"Don't hold your breath. The Reds are the only ones who ever do that. There is the occasional Black-Green or Pink teamups once in a blue moon, but never a Yellow."
"You never know…"
"Get going…"
"Admit it you want an all Yellow Team!"
"It would be nice to be part of a Ranger First."
"I KNEW IT! Anything can happen, we're Rangers after all."
"Well you better hurry. The first male Yellow Ranger of Earth is missing and things can only get worse."
"You were never this pessimistic."
"He's a Yellow."
"I get it."
"Just hurry up and I'll see what I can do."
"Time Fliers?"
"That's up to Alex."
"Thanks again."
"No problem. Katie, out."
'Sometime I think life would be easier if I just stayed with Wes instead of this' Jen thought before she disappeared.

Author's Note
Ok this chapter didn't have much. Those five individuals can be either the Evil Rangers, or Past Rangers. You can decide as it doesn't really matter. Either set works for the purpose of the story. The Time Force Rangers are on the case now!
The Jen and Katie conversation was more entertainment than anything else. The Yellow Reunion bit was a bit of a joke, but it may become a reality. Adam helped Carlos before. The Reds had Forever Red. Cassie chased after Psycho Pink with Kendrix. Etc, etc.
Once again I will reiterate how sorry I am to do this to y'all again, but chapters will start to slow down even more than I originally anticipated as I am working a lot more hours than I originally anticipated. I think I will be pushing out three every two weeks more or less. More than likely it will be once a week for a few weeks. I do not want the quality of the story to suffer just to keep on schedule.
I am wicked unhappy with this arc of the story, but what can I do? The chapters will get better. My unofficial beta is back so things have been turning for the better and chapters are once again becoming easy to write. I am just so glad as I have felt like the last few chapters were miserable and I know some of you felt that way also.
Keep up with the Reviews and Constructive Criticism. You guys really help me a lot with your comments to improve the story. I have the vision, but you guys the means by which I channel my inspiration.
