Stargate Atlantis Trading Grounds I: The Return To La Rochelle
Warnings: With this series, there's going to be a severe amount of backlash brought on by the traumas of Hathor and Machello. But the connector here is going to be Need and Shyla's kingdom, so for Sam and Jack. The events of Hathor and Shyla have stuck, leaving them facing a backlash that has Daniel. And Teal'C, on one side of the line, them on the other, in basing this solely on the book series on the movie, directly after it.
The events are altered to it being civilian ran with military help and the SGA is just that, as Jack and Makepeace get the entirety of the consequences. That resulted in Daniel becoming a pariah now in that book series, only now it's reversed here. So everything negative on Daniel is Jack now, in the SGA and everything Jack is Daniel. In the SGC ops, but it's because of the permanent effects of Hathor's pheromones.
This story and it's followers are going to match the dialog, in the flashback memories, of chapter 4, of the past meets the present series. As it also follows the complete mental breakdowns, of the human half of the team. And Robert Makepeace and Adam Johnson, so the story is going to follow the dialog to the letter exactly. Along with some new dialog that was not in the fast forwarded portion in the flashbacks.
Basing this in real time, rather then the show, of 25 years ago, Antarctica was a neutral zone for research so military research was not allowed out there. And with it, as the chair is considered military technology, it was meant to be last resort. In case of another orbital attack, so the outpost is now trade and exploration. So with this chapter, is the colony/crew is now getting used to being a slightly underwater crew.
As he's getting to work in trading to bring in more improvement for the planet at large now, so a military attack. Just to bring him back to the states, is attempted, is an international. In incidents and enough to get them convicted for kidnapping now, with his clearance. So from here, is he's dropping in on Ry'ac and Drey'auc and before the press conference. And just before his first stop in planets is to Gaea, home of the Nox.
This chapter will finish off this portion of the story-line, as the next two chapters and forward, cover chapter 2, going by the name. And of The Glory Of Tantulus, which covers things, from his going to the races and Tok'ra creation of the treaty. And his return to Shyla, before the following Chapters cover the the breakdowns of the trio and Carter, who's lost her ability to function mentally, out of desperation now.
As the mission was sanctioned, and he was transferred to Landry and the Atlantis team at the time. As Rodney McKay, Cam Mitchell, Vala Mal Doran, Hank Landry, Frank Simmons, Steven Caldwell, John Shepard. And Elizabeth Weir enter the picture here, the story will have Daniel and Teal'C joining their team. As the SGA is founded 5 years early, and moved into the outpost on earth….
Disclaimers: I don't own the shows, the story belongs to everything else belongs to the creators and the movie companies.
Chapter 107: New Futures And Fresh Starts III: Time's Arrow and Recovery III
Avalon I Continued:
"Guys outside right now, we need to talk, before we go to the con-grads party for the tournament right now." Austin said, after they won and they showered and got changed into clothes and they nodded as they went into a quiet area. "We have to talk you two, right now, do you understand why she targeted Katherine or why I barely killed yourself. As you recall your turning last year, you called us rangers weak and pathetic."
"Well look who's talking, pink is out, I have no friends, it's the very same thing. Do you understand why she said that. Well she's pissed at you right now for breaking her heart and I'm pissed you destroyed her. And enough to cause Maligore to get to her and me so easily, broken heart. Kim did the right thing by letting you go, but your mistake is you never bothered to clarify this, Tommy."
"In whether or not that letter was true?" Austin asked and Frank looked at him in shock then. "Just admit it, it wasn't Kat you were seeing that freed you, it was Kim, Tommy, just admit it?" he said with a growl and he shook his head to deny it and Austin nodded. " Oh what, scared to admit the truth, your heart is telling you to bury the hatchet and learn the truth to why she sent you that letter."
"Everybody is always talking at me, everybody is trying to get into my head, I want to listen to my own heart talking, I need to count on myself instead. The answers are all inside of me, all I have to do is believe', think it over. And in why ever since Billy left, he hasn't spoken to you, why the guys are so distant. And from you, why even Tanya was willing to put her life on the line for her."
"And why most of all did she go after Kat." he said said with a growl at them. "What are you talking about Jason, she wrote the letter, you knew about this." Catherine said in shock to his remark. "You want the truth you two, or do want the reason I just barely killed you myself, Tommy. Because if she mattered at all to you, you'd have called?" he asked him firmly and he looked at him in shock.
"She said she met someone else Jason!" he snapped and she shook her head. "You forget something here, we never write letters to each other?" she asked and he looked at her in shock. "Seems kind of strange of why send it to the bar, when Ernie and the Lieutenant were standing there, so why send it there?" she asked and he tried to control the unease in his heart in what she was saying at that remark.
"Oh you were there at the bench, I send it to Ernie who gives it to you, so why is that, if I told the entire team now, the 7 as well. But think it over, what are the acts of a true friend: a true friend would read it over the receivers shoulder. And ask a trusted adult why the sender would write it, ask their parents for their advice, and then contact the sender for a copy of that same letter."
"And a copy of translations." she said and Catherine felt her heart plummet to the floor at that remark, realizing she ignored that and stabbed her in the back. "You are the two bit whore, after everything I ever did for you, you stab me in the back. I should have stayed, or came back after Mondo arrived, to prevent this, but no." she said and looked at him as she said it as though she was talking to an idiot then.
"As for that remark of met someone else, yeah, well why didn't you call me to confirm that, instead of taking it. And at face value, because I told the rest of the quartet after you two left town. To head for the lodge, I told your parents, but 4 words, Tommy, 'back to the beginning' now. You lost how many competitions, you been hurt how many times on the job now, think it over."
"But you're the son of a cop, as a cop you have to stay focused..." she snapped and his eyes widened as he finished that. "Or it's going to kill me and the team with me, what are you saying exactly. That if I bothered to just ignore her, you could have just told me the truth, what truth. You found someone else and tore me apart, she gave me someone to turn to!" he snapped back at her coldly then.
"When I said I met someone else, I was saying I found a friend, but not a friend, he's just like Jason, Tommy, that friend is really a family member. You remember how Jason always acted with me at the time, but do you recall him telling you, now. That at one point I ran to his house over my parents fighting, when we were 7 years old?" she asked and he felt his heart start pounding at that.
"My parents were fighting over the fact he had an affair with a woman by the name of Mary Grayson, Carter's mother. To her, she was telling him either he paid child support, or she was divorcing him, and I heard the word divorce and headed to Jason's. You know, only he and Billy knew about that, I told them everything." she said and he tried to keep from paling at the look on Austin's face.
"Grayson, that's the following season, Carter Grayson, yeah okay, he's a result of a fling in why your parents divorced, a one night stand resulted in Carter. How about Jason's apprentice, in later seasons?" he asked and she nodded. "Mom, after they divorced, got back together with her high school sweetheart and had twins, my baby brothers. The name is Jordan Mcknight, my brother is the red ranger of the trio that Jason is mentor of." she said and he nodded, smiling.
"I knew already about the twins here, and told the entire team, so having no idea what Conner looks like here right now, it wasn't till he switched towns. And started his job at the local high school, he walked right into him, alerted me, and we started. In training the trio, or quartet as a result, because as we're veteran rangers, and secondly he's gone through 3 colors. That if the next one is black, he just took Austin's upgrade here and back in another format here now."
"That he knew this, once you take on your ranger powers, you take on everything that comes with it, that seeing my husband dressed in a new one, I knew he reactivated. As the mentor and leader of the team now." she said and he nodded gently. "And I need to tell you immediately after the red only mission, after the previous situation had you scared out of your wits now. We keep this up, I'm going to scare you into a heart attack next, but your idea on the kid now."
"Good enough, after I got the kid's name now, I went to his father and told him the truth, I'm the son in law of his high school sweetheart, Caroline Dumas, back then Porter. But being power rangers runs in the family, his step daughter, my wife, is a ranger, as am I." Frank said and he chuckled and nodded in agreement to that opinion. "But the guys, Thuy and me were and are the best of friends, rather then middle school, was born and raised." she said and he nodded.
"Billy and Jason are my trio, of the team, we were raised together from birth, before meeting Zack and Trini as 4 year olds. Little secret Tanya never told you right now, after Tanya told Erica she met me, and Billy and Jason she told us the truth. Our parents were the best of friends when they were our age, so being found by my beta was nice." she told her and she paled at that remark and news.
"Trini and Zack met the guys and me in preschool at the time, which is when our parents told us the truth, they'd been friends for years. So as a result the gang became a team, so the two that took both sides in this. Though they sided with me, are Jason and Billy, my best friends, my brothers. In fact we're triplets, though not blood, doesn't matter, we're adopted triplets to each other."
"Nathan and Preston knew about Carter, and after meeting him myself, I contacted the duo and my mother and got the truth. He is my big brother, my half brother, the other met someone else is Patrick, Aisha's cousin. But they're 19 going on 20, I'm 16 going on 17, so conclusion, Coach forbid fraterizations with guys our age?" she asked and he swallowed hard as he got it, as Austin nodded.
"They're too old for you." he said for him and she nodded to him. "Coach forbid fraterizations with the other boys our age, Carter and Patrick are going on 20. Just answer this, how can I have the time to be dating anyone else, when. On the days you suggested the quintet come along, they declined every time. As they had something else to do." she said and Catherine paled at that remark then.
"No, that can't be..." she said in shock to that. "You were here, Jason always had a smile on his face, the quartet were always in a good mood, before they arrived at the chamber. Then they got down to business, before immediately leaving again and saying they had other plans. And during a get together, it was because you were here?!" Frank shouted in shock then and the duo nodded sternly.
"Mom was praying I'd find Carter, well I did, he's the met someone else, but he's to old for and secondly he is my half brother. Mom and I, we tell each other everything, I contacted her on the letter she said to put things on hold. Just until I finished training and returned home, the Campbell's, Uncle Nathan, the Parks, the Desantoses, even your parents, they all the same thing."
"Long distance relationships never work, to protect this relationship, best to put things on hold. I spoke to the Kwans, the Taylors, your parents Katherine, even the Scotts, the Sloans, the lieutenant, Mrs. Applee, Ernie, my coach. They said the same thing, word for word, I made a choice to save us and you destroyed us yourself." she snapped and they paled at that as he said it and praying he was wrong.
"Before you say it, and I did contact your parents Tommy, and told them the truth of that letter, when you were at the lodge. They agreed that it was necessary, I can only try in the long distance so long, and before I call it quits. But you know what our parents are furious at, the one they're ticked at, right now, is you, for not coming after me, they love me like their daughter.
"After everything I did for her, after everything you and I promised each other, at thr first test of our relationship. You immediately turn to her without double checking that letter and making sure, that letter was a test. A test you failed and to them, and the team, it's you don't deserve me, if you let me go that fast." she said and he paled at that remark and Catherine swallowed hard at that news then.
"They knew all along that despite the fact that the guys, Aisha, and Tanya knew the truth and told you to talk to me. You ignored them and started dating her, so what is that supposed to tell our parents and your's huh what. To them, all it says is that you don't care you ripped my heart out, in fact, it says that you're the one who is just like Ken?" she asked and they swallowed hard at that as she went further.
"We called our parents, your parents, to the Chamber as well, and they got the truth, but you made the biggest mistakes of your life. And as a result it's not me your parents are angry at Tommy, it's you, you decided to not check back and here's the result. The reason for our capture is you, you caused all of this, and as a result, it's you're the one facing criminal charges finally." she said and he swallowed hard at that
Before he could answer, the duo saw his father, Nathan, Erica, Jake and Dillon walk up at that and they paled at that. Before seeing three more people then and Frank felt his heart stop, as Caroline saw herself, Preston and Janet and he knew he was dead at that. "Yeah I'd say that the seven of you all got the exact same phone call, when dad saw the bruises all over my chest and arms." Justin said and Amy nodded in agreement.
"What are you both doing back?" Catherine asked quickly and Janet crossed her arms then. "We were transferred back to Angel Grove after our business in Paris and Rome was concluded, so did you honestly think she never asked for our advice before sending it at the time?" she asked and he paled at that. "Parental advice was concluded and she took our advice, but why didn't you ask us?" James asked and he swallowed hard.
"You remember, I told you, you should double check, that what she did was the right thing to do, but look at where your choices have lead you. Now, as it has us, your parents beyond furious right now as a result." James told him and before he could answer him, Peter and Mei also arrived and they both paled at that. "Yes, did you honestly think she would never tell us, you made the choice, she did the right thing."
"So why didn't you call back to check on this?" Peter asked him sternly and he swallowed. "In truth there is a little secret that Carrie never told me or Mei, but as she did tell Preston and Nathan, Pierre, he knows that secret as well. But Kimberly contacted us from Florida telling us she found her brother and we were relieved to hear this." Peter said sternly and they paled at the fact their parents were confirming everything she said.
"In fact young man, she told me and I went ahead to confirm to your father regarding this. She said the boys were nearly three year college students, she's still in high school, they're too old for her and secondly. It's he's her brother, it's beyond inappropriate, why the hell didn't you go ahead and ask. Instead of just assuming, because this is beyond cruel right now?" her mother said to him sternly
"She's right young man, just who the hell do think you are right now, I gave you a chance." Pierre said with a growl and he swallowed hard at that. "Papa, I wasn't expecting you and mom to come by the arena." Amy said and Caroline nodded. "Doug was wondering why there was a ton of bruises all over Justin's chest. And till I realized here, it matched one thing and it was I saw this on you for two years straight."
"Before I left town when your father was transferred at the time, Janet told me what happened this time. But to her and Brandon they were scared out of their minds right now when you ended up back in the hospital. So let me get this straight, you and Jason were coming home to tell them the truth. Said truth is that the letter was a fake, you found your brother, and he was the met someone else now."
"Aisha, Adam, Rocky and Tanya, knew this truth and you saw Jason and Billy and told them the truth. Billy told you he wasn't choosing sides and didn't need to, you were all that mattered to him and Jason said the same thing?" she asked and she nodded. "But Zack and Trini threw the fact that they knew you longer then they knew him out and took sides. And said you were like Ken, who was cheating on me."
"With Mary Grayson, and then followed that up with reminding you of a near rape, and by Anderson?" she asked and Amy nodded and her parents both nodded to her as her mother pulled her into a hug. "And the day that Bulk was harassing me, before he came to save me from this, but come on, I did what you told me. I was just following your advice and they shun me, so what did I ever do them, but do what you suggested to me."
"I followed your advice and they stab me in the back or just shun me, because they're dealing with their own broken hearts?" she asked and they nodded with a furious look. "That two bit little whore thought that you were cheating on him, you mean to tell me that they threw their anger at Angela on you, without even listening to you?" Thuy's mother snapped in shock and her own and Walter's father nodded angrily as he answered her.
"Alright so let me read this out carefully, he assumes you cheated on him, and never takes your calls, continuing to keep up this delusion until it nearly kills them both. She stabs you in the back, after everything you ever did for her, and as for my son and her daughter. It's that they throw their anger at the girl cheating on him on you and never listen, until the truth comes out on the paper that night"
"There is no getting out of this right now, you two, you did this and you nearly killed her again, you little bitch, you are the heartless bastard young man!" Peter snapped and she paled at that and Frank swallowed hard at that. "You all said the same thing, and I followed your advice, and told Rocky, it was a fake, before telling the quartet, and Billy ran it through the thermal scanners." she said and their parents nodded to her.
"Guys we tell our parents doubles the truth, add it to the image." Jason said and it flashed red, pink and blue in response to that. "Dad it's not what you think, but everything that happened over the last year, and previous three. It's a matter of the truth coming out now, and with my being a colonel in the power ranger military and the original leader it's time." Austin told them and they nodded as Nathan's answered him
"Your friends are the power rangers, that why you're all dressed in the same colors as the rangers, but your color is the one that you dressed. Before and after Zedd showed up baby?" Nathan asked and she nodded. "Where's Billy exactly?" she asked and he nodded gently. "His friends from the NASA program just brought him home, he's back at our house, he'll be here shortly." he told her and she nodded as she answered him.
"To answer the other question, we are not friends of the rangers, we are the rangers, Jason now." she said and he nodded as he gave it out. "It's morphin time!" he shouted and she took it. "The Pterodactyl!" "The Tyrannosaurus!" they called out and their parents nodded as the original sextet thought it over. "Red pink, green, blue, black and yellow, you guys are the red and pink." Caroline and Preston finished that firmly as he said it.
"This is why you kept disappearing on us, your zord is a flyer, because your uncle is a pilot, you had a bird or birdlike animal. As your animal all this time, Rex, another word for that is king, or leader, he's the leader of the team. The original leader of the team, you're the female leader of the team you and my son are the alpha and the omega." he said and the duo nodded to him then as he answered him then firmly.
"Yeah we are, Zack was the beta, and Billy alpha's third, before we added him to the team." she said and he nodded firmly. "So as a result if this was us, I'm the leader of the team, your mother is the female leader, Nathan is switching positions with Peter as the second in command and Mei is the alpha's fourth." the man playing his father said and then crossed his arms as he looked at Frank then sternly as he went further
"Then that means that the original green ranger is you young man, well you finally did your job now. You destroyed the power rangers and with you, your fellow team mate there and the original black and yellow. " he said and Jason turned his helmeted head to him. "Not exactly, that's the new black and red, Aisha stayed on and Billy took back his, we're the new quintet version of the original five." he said their parents nodded.
"So as a result of them destroying your original sextet, your mentor recalled Billy, and you two, as the original trio, and filled in the gaps with my daughter and Dillon's son?" Janet asked and they nodded. "Yeah exactly, I knew you would never leave me, you took care of me leading into my leaving. But my godmother and sister, as the Ninjetti yellow." Amy told her and she nodded to her gently, as James gave a nod then.
"Keep it going if this is the reason you ended up in the hospital, it's because she stole your power coin. And with you being a ranger for three years, that just barely killed you, out of the adrenaline come down, that right, princess?" James asked and she nodded. "Yeah dad that's it exactly, for him it's barely four months, me, I was a ranger for three years and it put me in the hospital, but that's the catch now."
"Alright, it was after telling him, Billy to read the letter, he decided to go for a single thing here, and verify it. Till I told him he was my science partner and taught me chemical reactions in science, and he nodded. He got it in that one word, as we both know this, there is only one chemical. That could appear on paper, once dried and in light, by having a match or light bulb run over it." she said and they nodded to her.
As they said it together as the trio said it together. "Lemon juice, write in lemon juice, let dry and apply heat to it, that's the oldest trick in the book for private messaging." the entire adult team said together and she nodded. "Yep and he got it immediately and did, before Jason arrived and with him Aisha, before Zack and Trini did. Before the truth came out in the paper, and I blasted them." she told them and they all nodded to her.
"Uh huh, Billy told me he went werewolf at the time, and when he did, Jason ordered him to get them out of the room, before you went firebird and roasted them." Jake told her and she nodded. "He wasn't lying when he told you that, I was so furious, so heart broken that Zordon, our mentor. And Jason, took charge and ordered them out of there, as he made it clear the damage was done now."
'Jason is the original alpha and to him I was his omega, I mattered most and to him, Billy, Adam and Rocky. I was what mattered, but they assumed, in the duo's case without giving me a chance to explain, and I came to the center. And before this I was at the youth center, seeing these two dancing but that did it. Jason and Billy knew it then he broke my heart, and the sextet knew it." she said and they all nodded sternly.
"Simple common sense, here, just why the hell does he need the sympathy right now, you are the one separated from everyone you love." Dillon said sternly and Frank swallowed hard at that. "And does this sound like you at all does it?" Preston asked and they both paled at that remark. "Answer this you two, but does this sound like her at all, would she just end it by a letter, without coming to you and talking about it first."
"So where is your common sense right now, she's right, to help you focus you had to take step back. Because you lose your concentration it's going to get you and the others hurt or killed." James said sternly and he swallowed hard as Caroline crossed her arms then. "Yes you better be afraid of us right now, you both are in so much trouble you're lucky we don't have your abilities or you'd be dead."
"Right now, young man, like her father said, I gave you a chance, and this is how you repay us now. Just answer this, why didn't you look deeper then you did, hmm, going by what Billy told me now, he was pissed at the duo for this. But who did you know longer in this case, answer they know her better, and yet they throw that out and take sides." she said and he swallowed hard at that as Amy said it to him.
"Were you sleeping with her, were you doing just what Angela did to Zack, what exactly?" she snapped and he paled at that remark. "If you slept with her, all it says to mom, is that you are the cold blooded bastard, what if you got me pregnant, would you take responsibility. Or would you act like the man on Silver Bullet, pretend it's not your baby, and want to enjoy your life?" she asked and he swallowed hard at that.
"Because that's what this feels like, you all: you, Kat, Trini and Zack stopped talking to me, after the letter. Every adult in town from Ernie and Stone, to Caplan and Mrs. Applebee know that letter is a fake. You hear the subtle clues here, you ever listen to the English teacher when she was talking to Nancy on the movie. What is seen, is not always what is real, the grave diggers and so on?" she asked him with a firm growl .
And he swallowed hard at that, as she went on further. "As adults they can see below the appearances and know when something is real or not. Well this letter, this so called break up letter is not real at all, but a fake. In fact every adult checked it, rewrote the sentences and cracked it all in five minutes."she said and he paled at that as he looked at their adult versions who were staring at him sternly then as he said it quickly then.
"Did she ask that question?" he asked quickly and Austin nodded sternly. "Yeah and it's like someone else sent the letter, and you treated her like a back stabber, but what about you. If she was my girlfriend, I would take responsibility for the fact I got her pregnant, but you didn't, in fact. To us and her parents, it's you took the letter at face value, and she stabbed her in the heart." he told him and she paled at the news then.
"You told our parents, the truth of that letter, is that why my parents told me leave him alone, he still belongs to you?" she snapped and she nodded. "Yeah that's right, and I assume that your parents are looking at you like you're the backstabber, I was supposedly your best friend. And in return for everything I ever did for you, this is how you pay me. They're beyond disgusted with you both right now for this."
"Just how many time did James and Melissa say to come after me, to ask about that letter, in their eyes. They seem to think that you were glad to get rid of me, so she can move in on you once I'm out of sight. Nathan, Janet, Jake, Dillon, even Erica, Uncle Preston. They all said the same thing, that if you want be a selfish brat, and not think about anyone but yourself. You deserve to lose all of us, your friends right now."
"You made your bed, so now you have to sleep in it, in all of your cases, you two, Zack and Trini." she said and before he could answer, James decided to say it. "Yeah I'd be afraid as well right now, but us to your parents, them to you, and you're 18. And trapped in your 26 year old bodies here son, you should have thought with your heart, not your head." Hammond said and the young actor nodded, knowing this man would be his grandfather if he did sci fi now.
"Dad what are you doing here?" he asked quickly and James crossed his arms as he answered him. "I just got off the phone with Douglas Stewart, who said his son's entire torso is covered in bruises of the type I see on you. Every time you get into a fight with a bunch of enemy troops, Justin said, after getting the news. And to why Jason and Kimberly were captured, as it first looked like you and Katherine abused him."
"Till he told us the truth, Rocky sent him and his place, with Billy off planet right now, as he made contact with your friends, and Doug made it clear, that he's suing us and the Hilliards for putting his son at risk of your enemies. In whatever program you belong to here, but she's right young man, to me if you're not bothering, now. To be a responsible boyfriend, if you got her pregnant, you don't deserve her at all."
"Your mother and I, we've never been so disappointed in you right now, and Katherine, Andy said the exact same thing. But after everything Kimberly has ever done for you, this is how you repay her now, by stealing my son away from her. Preston and I are still friends, but we, Nathan and Carrie are beyond disgusted and disappointed in both of you right now, do you know what Gunther told me exactly."
"Before the letter was sent?" he asked and they quickly shook their heads shaking. "The distraction in the connection between you whatever it might be, caused her to lose her grip on the bars. And she barely broke her wrist, this happened, again and again, till finally they told her. And like we did that it was time she can come visit whenever she wants to." he said and Frank swallowed hard at the look of disgust in his eyes then.
"In fact your two supporters and your new girlfriend destroyed this team yourselves, the rest of us took her side in a heart beat Tommy. I never been more disgusted to call you my friend, this is why I nearly threw you into the chasm myself." Austin said coldly to him and he swallowed. "You just assumed and then you ditched her, you ripped her heart out." he said coldly and Frank swallowed as he prayed he was wrong.
"The gang is a team, but by your actions you destroyed the gang yourself, if you're the alter egos to the green ranger and to the pink ranger. Well then you did your jobs, because you just barely destroyed this town yourselves, when the original red and pink got captured and turned. And I got a phone call from a man that said he was your mentor in martial arts, and even Rocky told us the truth."
"But the commissioner and the governor are ready to have you tried for treason right now. You just did the damage that would have destroyed this town, had they got turned like the green ranger did. Just before he joined the damn team, but everyone at the police department and the military is in shock: that one choice could destroy this town." James said and he paled at the news knowing he blew it.
"Young man, did you ever consider that one choice can have far reaching consequences in the future right now. It leaves the ones that care most about you open to attack, that if you can't focus in the field it can get you and your team mates killed. She did the right thing and you hurt her so badly that she had her alter ego decided to say it. And said is what couldn't be said here, she was beyond hurt here."
"And that is that if you will not follow your heart over your head, well then you don't deserve her at all. But she's right she told me and your mother everything, and we did say this, you can only try for so long before you have to end it. Well here it is, but look at this more closely, I know her so well I can hear the lies for what they are." he said and handed the letter to him as he re-read it and felt his heart shatter.
"Do you understand in what she was really saying here in that remark now, Preston translated the be wary of the group upstairs remark. And the dark warrior. And since there is only one person that fits that description, the dark warrior. And said is the reason you changed in personality in two weeks and then returned to normal, before joining the gang. We knew it had to be the original green ranger."
"She was saying this so could you focus, and but in reality, if you're the friends of the power rangers. She's saying she is not just doing this so you can focus, but so we don't have the green ranger back on the rampage. And for the second time in four years right now, your mentor told me, after she contacted him. He was willing to bend what rules he gave you so she could come home at the time now in this."
"He was also willing, when Jason came home, so that she could split the shifts with Katherine. and with it. So you could have your quartet intact, with the boys and her now, he told me everything, that instead of actually giving it a second chance. You instead turn to Katherine, and Kimberly is so hurt, so heart broken she nearly beats the crap out of Zack." he said sternly and they both swallowed hard at the news.
"As Billy also tells me, that his personality shifted to being a werewolf, the werewolf best friend now, you honestly think Billy never told his father. Let alone the other six members of the gang, or Carrie what happened here, well he did at the time, to him, it was a no choice needed. She needs him and she has him, Jason, Rocky, and Adam, same thing, even Aisha and Tanya decided on the same."
"Your parents young lady, Peter and Mei, let alone your mother and me, we never been so disappointed in all of you. But to us what's even worse is this is considered as close to a felony as you can get, that you, whether you want to admit it or not. That you were aiding and abetting the enemy in this time of war, you committed treason, as a result in the president's eyes." he said and he swallowed hard at that.
"Is that why you're here dad, you were told by the judge to bring us in?" Frank said shaking and he nodded to him sternly. "Yeah that's right young man, young lady, you two and Zack and Trini, you nearly destroyed this town. And by not bothering to contact her to verify it was a fake, going by what your mentor told me. He is the head of the ranger program, and the rangers are a military group, but this is treason."
"Rocky was the original second in command two years ago, then fine, he turned both of you into me and Preston. So we can deal with your probation and community service until all four of you fix the amount of damage you caused. But the trial is in two weeks you two, so you better give us a damn good reason you never bothered to double check." he said and Frank quickly turned to her desperately at that remark then.
"Is it a new friend, a relative or something else, if that's the truth is coming out now, you said I would really like him. I thought you were ending it, because you were cheating on me at the time?!" Frank said as he felt his heart start speeding up in fear at her next remark. "You thought I was cheating on you when you read those remarks, in that letter?" she said slowly and they nodded to her at that remark.
"Well that's where you're wrong, I was saying I was willing to ask Zordon to come up with way that did not involve taking advantage of our powers. I was saying I could alternate shifts with Kat and you had us both back with you. I was saying I was homesick and I missed you, my falcon, and my nest. I was saying I was coming home so we could talk this over and do it a new way."
"I was saying I found a family member, 'met someone else' the said someone else is my brother, Tommy, I found my half brother. 'Friend', we were friends before we became a couple, 'brother' get Jason and bring him home. The brother, he is my brother, I wanted him to take care of you with me gone. Jason is my brother, we, you and I, were friends long before we became a couple."
"Jason, he is my brother, my best friend, his father is my godfather, he's family, and he is your best friend, ergo. Only he can help you recover as I'm gone, if you bothered to look closer and take it to Zordon." she said and Frank swallowed hard at that remark as she leaned against Austin as she went further. "I gave it to Billy and he and the guys, excluding Zack, and the girls, not counting Kat or Trini."
"They ran that letter through the thermal scanners, you recall what Mrs. Applebee said her six best students in science class. To which we are, Billy was my science partner since we were cubs, before you moved to town. He saw this immediately they ran the letter through the thermal scanners. And the truth was revealed, it was a fake, you remember what you said about us now."
"Us Dino rangers, after he tried to break us up by using the bloom of doom to do it. We've all been friends for so long and suddenly once you lose your identity in your original two colors, white and green. You lose and forget everything that comes with it, Dragon made it clear, I belong to him, Tiger and Brennan. The very same thing, we made a promise and after that promise you made it clear."
"It would take a lot more then Zedd and Rita." she said and he backed into the wall at that. "That's why I was ready to kill you Tommy, you ripped her heart out, and as for Katherine, that's why she said that, you are not her friends or mine. Why didn't you just answer the god damn phone, you cold blooded bastard!" Austin snapped at him and he paled at that remark as Amy finished that sentence coldly.
"Right after you left for the lodge, I contacted Rocky, and it started a domino effect. So if you bothered to go to Zordon and run the letter under a thermal scanner you'd see the remarks are underlined twice, in lemon juice. Little something Billy taught me, write in lemon juice, let dry and apply heat to it. As you see the truth in the paper, everything, but my training was a lie, Tommy."
"I was talking about you when I described the guy, I was hoping you'd run it over a scanner and see the lies for what they are. Which is what the guys, Aisha and Tanya did, why do you suppose they were determined to break me out of it. And why Jason nearly killed you himself, they're all pissed at you guys. There is no one else, you and I were friends long before we became a couple."
"And get Jason and bring him home." she said reading out each message and he paled. "I gave you my friends and place to belong, and this is how you repay me, by stabbing me in the back Katherine, you and Trini are not my friends. And neither are you and Zack, Tommy, you ripped my heart out!"she screamed at him and he swallowed hard at that as Catherine swallowed at that remark as she said it.
"You remember the letter on European Vacation, 'Dear..., I miss you, but luckily..., is coming by to cheer me up?" she asked and he swallowed hard at that. "I thought you would be with me forever and instead you turn to this little backstabber, you may say you love me, but why didn't you just call me back. Just to make sure it was a fake or not, it's like you were glad to let me go."
"Just so you could be with this cold hearted bitch, but I tried and tried, till I had to draw a line in long distance, that's what the letter really meant. It was time we changed the rules, so I could come home and see you everyday. But not a friend, nor a soulmate you ripped my heart out and you got the guys pissed at you right now, our entire team, Ninjetti." she snapped at him and that did it.
"No, that's what the remarks meant?!" Catherine snapped in shock at that and Amy nodded to her at that as the quartet walked up with their arms crossed sternly with Cardenas wrapping his arms around Amy. "I was testing you, to see if you would come after me at the time, fight for me, get me back. And instead what do you do exactly, you rip my heart out by getting together with her last year now."
"Remember, white ranger, the power of goodness and light, the winged lord of the skies. Do I have to spell it out, Dragon, your wolf, Brennan and Tiger all imprinted on me and you just let me go. Without a fight and get together with this little back stabber." she snarled at him and and he swallowed hard. "This is why Billy left town, he wasn't about to end up in the middle of this situation."
"Right after you guys left she contacted us, one by one and we called a team meeting after the three of you got called to the command center. And just so she could talk to Billy in private, but Billy was off the team. So as he's not part of your quintet, he's not choosing sides and we already made our choice, Kat. But the damage is done when she saw you dancing with him and vice versa."
"You destroyed the original team out of miscommunication, she told us while you were at the lodge you two. And we chose both sides, but frankly, I'm disgusted you chose not to confirm it. But the Ninjetti and the Dino rangers are no more, because of you two, Tommy, Kat. But why shouldn't I be surprised, Rita's children, aren't you guys." Johnny said with disgusted look on his face then.
"He's right, she told us immediately, by coming to me first, the first of the pack animals to get the truth was me, followed by Billy and Tanya. To me and Adam, even Billy we didn't have to think twice on this, but three versions of the same five colors. And the first lost their leader, and their omega, But let me make this clear, there are three versions of six, and all of them, all of them have thrown you out of it."
"She told us, the Zeo turned turbo rangers first and I told Justin that letter was a fake, but you just barely kill my replacement by this decision, you two. She barely blasted Zack into the wall at the command center, she was so angry. So heart broken that you threw her aside without a second chance. That it took us months to pull her back together, I've never been so furious at you Tommy."
"But she called me, and we called a team meeting, but a Ninjetti can hear the truth in another Ninjetti's words here, but the second she told me that truth. I gave the benefit of the doubt and called her home and she told the boys and Tanya. As she already told Jason and Aisha, but the duo, to me, to Adam and Tanya and then right to Billy, it's a fake." Cardenas said with a stern growl at him.
"The Dumases and the Campbells are home, they called a team meeting for this weekend, but the team is cut in half. And her parents are pissed at you 4 right now, you two and Zack and Trini. I don't know how you're going to talk your way out of this Tommy, but I doubt Pierre, or Carrie. They're ever going to trust you again, in fear, now you're going to break her heart twice starting now."
"Kim needed someone in her corner and we chose ourselves, but she is my best friend, sure you're my alpha. But she matters more to me, I knew her longer then I have you, she's my sister, but you destroyed our duck tales quartet by this choice now. But why am I not surprised, your original color was green, but you started out as the green ranger and in the end you did your job now."
"Of destroying us, Huey and Dewey stuck by her, because we're her brothers, her version of triplets. We were raised together from birth, but we would never leave her, but nice work, you stupid fool. You just did the damage that will take months and up to four years to heal from, but green ranger, her green ranger." Yost added with a furious look on his face at him as he beamed down then firmly.
"Dad is beyond furious at you, as is Uncle Preston, and Aunt Carrie, they can't trust you anymore, but not only did you three tear the team apart. You tore apart both versions of our sextet. Aunt Janet, Uncles Dillon and Jake, they, like Aunt Carrie and dad are as furious as Preston is at you right now, as is Aunt Erica and Uncle Doug." he added and Austin finished that remark as he said it sternly to him then
"Zordon ordered that us three, Aisha and Adam are the new version of our original starting point, both versions have you 3 thrown out of it now. 5 in one version, 5 in the other and you make up and finish the sextet in both, Tommy. But that sextet, in both versions is no more now as a result of your actions, we told our parents, regarding the fact it was based on miscommunication now."
"Zordon gave the go ahead, to tell our parents the truth of who we are, but the Dino rangers are torn in two. The Ninjetti 5/6's of it are intact and Tanya sided with us, as such you just finished what you set out to do 4 years ago Tommy. The Power rangers are destroyed, because you never bothered to clarify that letter." Austin said sharply and he paled as he swallowed hard at that remark.
"The Green ranger, her child, her..." Frank said, shaking in shock as he read it out. "It would take a lot more then Zedd and Rita to break up this team and I just did it myself, why didn't you just come to see me face to face?" he snapped quickly and she looked at Kat angrily. "Because it was already too late, you moved on from me by having my replacement here, up at the lodge now correct."
"Aside from that, after you met Emily, I headed for home to talk to you and I find you at the Youth center dancing with Kat. A look of happiness on your face, happiness that you're together, and for some reason, for a broken hearted man. You seem to be much happier then I would expect when with her right now, but up at the lodge, I knew, the second the guys told me this, it happened finally."
"What's that supposed to tell me, I saw you dancing with her when I arrived after the monster attack a couple days after the letter came. And I went to the guys: Jason and Billy, Rocky and Adam, they're pissed right now at you. That's why Billy took off, he wasn't sticking around for what happened. Jason: he was taking his anger at you're breaking my heart by nearly turning you evil again."
"You're not the damn victim here Tommy, I am, I made a choice to protect the planet by having you focus, just to get your damn head in the game now. If I mattered at all, you would have called me to double check." she said shoving him back as she looked at Sutherland. "And like I said Katherine, pink is out, I'm the original pink ranger, you're just about the most unworthy person now."
"Who deserves the honor I gave you for that, you lost us both, so I hope you're happy with each other, because I've got my balance back with him." she snapped at him and turned away from him then as Jason left his arms crossed as he looked at him sternly. "You remember what you told me, no matter what happens we'll always be friends, well I know where your mind is heading right now."
"When she didn't spare you a glance and hugged me once you saved us, but I'm not the said someone else. But I'm family, she is my best friend, my sister, my omega, after we separated. I decided to drop in on her to see her and cheer her up, you're no red ranger either Tommy, you're the green ranger. Well it seems their trying to destroy us finally succeeded, I hope you're happy now."
"But you lost your balance and I regained mine, she's not my girlfriend, I'm her adoptive twin brother. This was why I hated you, at first when you started, I was scared out of my mind that you would break her heart. And now that you did, there's nothing to say, you had the world, but you decided. Now that you wanted more, full circle isn't it, you lost your powers, I lose mine now."
"But now that you see what it's like to lose the most important woman in the world to you. You may call me to reactivate me, but there is no we or us, for me and her, she's my sister, my best friend and that's all there is between us. So think about the what ifs, when you find it in yourself to give her a ring. And take it back to after you lost your powers the first time, call me, until then now."
"And I owe this to the mistake you made last year, so there's nothing left to say now Tommy, Katherine. So I'll give you time to think it over, but she's not having her heart broken twice, by anyone else now and I'll make sure of that." he said as she turned to leave. "Before you say it Tommy I did try to tell you the truth, I broke my heart to write that letter at the time, right now."
"And did you forget something, you, Zack and Jason have father's with very dangerous jobs, we're power rangers. And you're the leader of the team, what's the key point to that, when separated from your soul mate."she asked and Frank paled as Cathy's eyes widened in shock. "If I can't concentrate its going to get me and the team killed." he said and she nodded and Frank grabbed her by the arm.
"You made the choice Tommy, I did the right thing and you tore my heart out at the time, so tell me who deserves to have the sympathy. You are not the one in pain here, I am, you don't need them, I do, you need them more than I do, that's crap." she said and Johnny crossed his arms. "She needs us more than you do, and if you just looked at the meaning behind the words, Tommy."
"Then both sides would be intact, Dragon was furious here as he was programmed to think we were throwing around death and destruction. And everywhere we go, you know why that was, and why he was seeing Kim in Kat's place?" he asked and Frank shook his head shaking at the question. "It's because Dragon imprinted on me, he wanted me as his savior at the time."
"Sure you got together with Kat, but putting this into song, 'when he was seeing her, you could see he had his doubts, now he's missing her. Because he knows he's missing out, she's haunting him with memories like a ghost. He's so terrified, that no one even comes close.'. Translation to those remarks, when you saw Emily, she never matched me and when around Kat, you see me."
"You're hiding from your heart and you're afraid to admit I am the one you're seeing. But let me make this plain to you both, I tried for nine months in holding up a long distance relationship. But mom, Uncle Preston, your parents, even the Campbell's all said the same thing. That at some point you got to draw the line and put things on hold, well that's what I did, but you evidently didn't care."
"Interpreted that as I am cheating on you and moved on with this little back stabber, the boys are all furious as is Aisha, Tanya, the quintet, Curt, Richie. Taking sides in our business, you're not the one getting burned for doing the right thing, I am." she said and he swallowed hard. "Don't make this about you, I told you to go after her, but you refused, what is that supposed to tell us."
"That you don't care you ripped her heart out, because you were thinking only about yourself now. A Ninjetti can read the truth in another Ninjetti's words, I heard the truth, as did the boys and Aisha. We agreed, this was the right choice, she needed me most at the time, but it was clear. After Zordon called me to the command chamber that day, once I heard her words and her explanation."
"In one second by that decision, by not calling her back at the time, you lost all of us Tommy. But Jason and I knew her longer then we did you, she means everything to us." Yost added as she leaned against his chest then."But not the Ninjetti, we took you into the dinos, I gave you my heart. And this is how you repay us, by breaking me so emotionally your own friends are pissed now."
"You're not a power ranger, you never were if you chose this choice, you both are Rita's children and finally, finally she destroyed us. And by you not listening to your heart over your head, everybody is always talking at me. Everybody is trying to get into my head, I want to listen to my own heart talking, I need to count on myself instead." she said and he swallowed hard at that remark then.
