A/N: Here is Chapter 2 of the season!
Last time on Poké Rangers Time Force…
Cyrus was arrested for breaking the law of time travel, which got him almost an eternity in freeze compression. However, Croak Capone, Persira and Satfrax used that as an advantage to take control of the Time Force prison cell. Setsuna and her friends go investigate, only for Capone to put a hit on Ken, leaving Setsuna to survive. Learning that they have time traveled back to 2008, she decides to stop them in her own time ship. Shooting the ship, the travel disrupted and landed in 2024. There, she ran into four trainers: Xavier, Stacy, Mason and Carl. Learning that Sunyshore City was under attack by Capone's mob, Setsuna decides to draft them to become Time Force Rangers, against Hoot's orders… now, they have to stop this man.

Chapter 2: Fugitives from the Future Part 2
"You're under arrest for breaking the laws of time!" Setsuna said, showing her badge, "I've waited long enough and it's time to send you packing."
"Cyrus, we'll handle them," said Satfrax, "We'll show them how we deal with things."
Cyrus nodded as he dashed away, grabbing what was left. Capone grinned as he turned to the rangers. Carl turned to see him, "So, why did you bring him back? I guess we'll have to bring you in."
Capone laughed as he raised his blue and red machine gun up in the air, "Time Force, do you honestly think I am going to let you… take me in?"
Releasing the safety bolt, purple and red bolts emerged. Quickly, Setsuna leaned back as she was phasing in and out, dodging the bullets. The other four, well, they were hit. As the four rangers landed on the ground, Xavier turned to Setsuna as he looked at what was going on, "Um, fair warning?"
"Relax. These suits protect you," said Setsuna.
"Protect this! Centuroids!"
The Centuroids started marching with their silver axes, heading toward the rangers. Immediately, each ranger was dealing with a group of them. Carl ducked as he watched two get slashed in the stomach. He turned around as crawled toward one of them, who went to strike him. Carl was hit as he landed on the ground. He swept the Centuroid and landed on the ground. He turned around as he took two car doors and slammed them against the monster. One of them grabbed him by the arm as the Centuroid went to aim with his axe. Throwing it, Carl was hit as he landed on the ground.
"This is painful…"
Mason threw two punches as he knocked some Centuroids down. As one went to strike, Mason threw a punch straight through. He looked at the armor, seeing the wires. He jumped up, frightened as the Centuroid landed on the ground. He ducked a few attacks as he went to strike more of them, not realizing he had that much power.
Xavier flipped forward as he kicked two of them in the face. He turned around as one missed. He took a garbage can lid and threw it across, knocking one of them to the ground. As his axe fell, he grabbed it and threw it across, slashing the Centuroid in the stomach. He then turned around as laser beams struck, hitting him in the chest.
Stacy kicked two of them in the stomach as they landed on the ground. As she went to back up, the two that landed grabbed her ankles and threw her down. One jumped up and body slammed her. Sparks flew out of her body as she tried to get up. The Centuroid threw her across as she landed on Setsuna, who was already handling them like a pro. Setsuna rolled her eyes as she looked at the four.
"Don't you four know how to use these suits? They do come with tutorials."
"Um, remember we're the rookies," said Stacy, pointing it out, "We know nothing!"
As the five turned around, Capone laughed as he was looking at Persira. Persira grinned as she raised her claw, slashing Stacy across the chest as she landed on the ground. Satfrax laughed, releasing his golden beams. The other rangers were hit. Struggling to get up, Hoot floated across, watching what was going on.
"Rangers, you do have weapons at your disposal," said Hoot, "Activate the Chrono Access button on your morpher."
"Chrono Access?" asked Xavier.
Pressing the button, he noticed that there were options on the screen, one being a blaster and one being two sabers. He looked at the two sabers and pressed the red button. A flash of blue energy appeared as a pair of twin swords appeared. Both were clear with sharp edges that had a black hilt to them, almost like the hands of a clock. One tip was clear, but visible but the other one had a blue square arrow, similar to his visor.
"Vector Lance!" shouted Xavier, combining the two.
"That is cool," said Stacy, looking at her morpher, "Chrono Access!"
"Chrono Access!" shouted Setsuna.
Finding the sword option, red and pink auras surrounded their morphers as their sabers appeared, the same way as Xavier's, but with a red triangle or a pink heart.
"Vector Saber!" shouted Setsuna and Stacy.
"Chrono Access…," said Mason.
Pressing the button, he noticed a blaster. Giving it a whirl, he pressed it. A mega-sized white, yellow and black blaster appeared as Mason carried it. It had black and yellow lightning designs, "Vortex Vulcan!"
"I could go for big weapons… Chrono Access!" shouted Carl.
Pressing the button, a green aura surrounded his morpher as a smaller blaster appeared like Mason's, except it was black and green with leaves and branches on either side. It had the same configuration, "Vortex Pulsar!"
The rangers turned around with their weapons as Capone and the others gulped. Setsuna charged forward, slashing the Centuroids across. The Centuroids didn't get a chance to respond as they were hit, slashed, you name it. As the Centuroids landed on the ground, Setsuna arrived with her weaponry.
Next, Stacy was running along the wall with her swords, slashing the Centuroids back and forth. Each Centuroid was struck as they landed on the ground. The Centuroids started stumbling as they landed on the ground. Smoke appeared as they exploded. Turning around, one went to strike, only for Xavier to arrive with his saber. Slashing them with the Vector Lance, he slashed a few and then struck the rest, spinning around to see them fall.
"Thanks!" Stacy said.
"No problem."
Carl and Mason jumped down with their weapons, pulling the trigger. Green and yellow bursts emerged from each blaster, shooting down the Centuroids. As the Centuroids landed on the ground, more started coming. Carl and Mason knelt down and pulled the bolt on their side.
"Full Automatic!"
Green and yellow bursts rapidly shot out as the Centuroids were toast. Satfrax went to strike as he used his fingers to release weaponry. Both rangers dodged and used the same method, Satfrax was hit as he landed on the ground.
Persira used her claws to strike, only for Stacy to block them. Stacy slashed her across as she landed on the ground. Stacy turned around as she slashed Persira in the stomach. Spinning around, she looked at Persira as Xavier nodded. Building up, a blue energy bolt charged right across the blade.
"Vector Hurley!"
A blue beam of energy struck Persira as she landed on the ground. As she landed upon impact, Capone looked up as he went to strike. Setsuna appeared with her sabers, protecting Xavier and Stacy. Capone charged forward, yet Setsuna slashed him multiple times. Capone looked up as Setsuna kicked him twenty times, causing him to land on the ground.
"Build Up!" she shouted, charging her sabers. She jumped up as she struck her hands out. One hand went above her head, and one saber went to her left. A red clock appeared behind her as she looked down, "Time Strike, 3!"
Two red electric energy slashes appeared as Capone was hit. Sparks flew as he landed on the ground. Capone yelled as sparks appeared, surrounding him. He looked up as Cyrus dashed over. Cyrus grabbed a black handheld device that wrapped around his left wrist. Aiming it, turquoise bullets struck as explosions appeared. He turned around as he looked at the crew, "It's time we leave."
A wave of blue energy appeared as he teleported. Setsuna slammed her saber down as the other four rangers were looking at their morphers, "This seems pretty cool," Stacy said, mesmerized by her suit.
"Yeah," Xavier said, looking at it, "I am like really rocking the suit."
"Not bad for us….," said Mason.
"Yeah, it was fascinating," Carl replied.
Setsuna stood up as she looked at them. The rangers watched as she pressed a red button on the morpher, "Return."
A flash of energy appeared as she morphed out of her suit. The others followed as they did the same thing. Setsuna turned around as she grabbed each morpher from them, against their will. Xavier looked at her, "Um, what?"
"You're services are no longer needed. I needed you to unlock the morphers and you did. Now, I can hunt down Capone," said Setsuna, placing the morphers in her jacket.
"Um, with Cyrus… you are going to need us," said Carl.
"Yeah… no," said Setsuna, "Who cares about Cyrus anyway… besides Cyrus will be arrested and brought back serving the same sentence as Capone… for eternity."
Stacy stepped forward as she walked to her, "Listen! Just because you are from… the future doesn't mean you don't know what's going on here. Trust me when I say this, Carl's right. Cyrus is a bad man. Have you read his personal file? That is, if you read personal files."
"Don't insult my intelligence," Setsuna snapped, turning around.
As she went to step forward, she turned to see Xavier standing over her. He had his arms across his chest, "Come on, we can help!"
"Thanks… but this is my job and my job alone," Setsuna said, walking away. The other four trainers watched as she placed them in her pockets. Hoot turned around as it floated with Setsuna, walking toward Sunyshore Beach. Mason turned to the team, "We were used for her own mission?"
"Seems like it," Carl said, "But, with Cyrus back. This is going to be a history change."
"How so?" asked Xavier, "Cyrus died in the Distortion World."
"Supposedly," Carl said, "We didn't know he landed in 4024. She has the answers, and we need to figure it out."
Mason turned around as he spoke to him, "What about history?"
Stacy turned around as she looked at Mason, "History… if Carl is right that Cyrus shouldn't be here, I am all for answers. Trust me when I say this, you don't want to deal with a boss that tries to destroy the world. I know from personal experience. Let's go find her."
Capone's Lair...
The jail was nestled in between the trees somewhere in the Sinnoh Region. As the doors opened, Capone walked in as he placed his weapon on the table. Satfrax, Persira and Cyrus also arrived. Cyrus turned around as he looked at them, "Well, it seems we got a welcoming party."
"Welcoming party?" asked Persira, "How about Time Force coming back?"
"I thought I killed them all… to make a point," said Capone, slamming his fist on the ground. He looked up as he turned to Satfrax. Satfrax shrugged as he looked at Capone, "Well, do you want to go back?"
"No!"
The three villains turned around as Cyrus stood there, looking at the three villains. Cyrus stepped forward, "I'm now free… no criminal records here, nothing! As far as everyone is concerned, except for Time Force, I'm dead. I can always rebuild Team Galactic."
Capone turned around as he looked at Cyrus. Cyrus looked at Capone as he put his feet up on the table, "Listen, human. We brought you along to get you out of here. Remember you work for us. Team Galactic comes second. You got it?"
Cyrus nodded slowly as Capone hopped out of the chair. Capone turned around as he looked at one of the silver fridges. He opened the fridge as he looked at all of the criminals. His face was glowing as he looked at them. He then turned around as he opened the others. He couldn't believe it.
"Interesting…," Capone said.
"Well, what did you expect when we took this place? We have a whole criminal army at our disposal," said Satfrax, "The people of the 21st Century are in for a rude awakening."
Capone grinned as he grabbed one of the capsules. He turned around as he noticed another machine. There was a machine that was used to freeze compress criminals. Walking toward it, he placed the capsule on the ground. He looked up as he turned to Satfrax. Satfrax grinned as he pressed a button, reversing the process. As the doors closed, a blue aura surrounded the machine as the engines started heating the capsule. As the capsule exploded, Capone stood in awe as Satfrax watched with happiness. Persira was impressed as Cyrus gulped. The doors opened as a new criminal appeared.
His body was structured to a Charizard with ruby armor plating. He had Machoke arms with Haxorus gauntlets that are foldable. His eyes were bright green, carrying two ruby pistols on either side of his body.
"Razor Fang," said Capone, "Long time no see, friend."
"Boss," he said, looking at him, "I'm free!"
"Yes, you are… but not in the 41st Century. How would you like to make a hit where people have no advantage?"
Razor Fang grinned as he grabbed one of his pistols, "Sign me up, boss."
"Perfect," said Capone, "Begin the hit tomorrow. Plan it with Satfrax. We are going to make sure that this works. Cyrus, I want to learn how we handle things."
Cyrus nodded silently as he looked at Razor Fang. Razor Fang looked at Cyrus as he turned to Satfrax, "You brought a human with you?"
"He's actually from this time period," said Satfrax, "We were just trying to get him home so he can cause his destruction. Come, Cyrus… I am going to show you what we do."
Cyrus said nothing as he followed Razor Fang, closing the door behind him. Persira turned around as she looked at Capone, "I think we should've left him to rot."
"Nah… I looked him up," said Capone, grinning, "I want him to get used to us."
"What do you mean?" she asked.
Capone looked up as he turned on his computer. Persira looked at it as she was scanning information, "He tried to destroy the Sinnoh Region in 2008?"
"Yup… AND… he knows something about the Red Chain. With his knowledge and our criminal activity, we can create an empire… but before we get to Phase 2 of that, we need money to build our reinforcements," said Capone.
"I see," said Persira, looking at Capone, "You want him to work for us so that way you can bring Team Galactic together. An organized criminal system where we commit crimes and the money is used to finish Cyrus's job."
Capone grinned as he grabbed a cigarette from his out, "See, it's not just shoot 'em up… sometimes it's a business move. Imagine, having Dialga, Palkia, Giratina and the Sinnoh Legendaries all together as they work with Team Galactic and we get the profits to support them. That's why this gang is more than a gang. It's a family."
Sunyshore Beach…
Setsuna started marching along the shore. As she knelt down, she opened the case as she placed the other four morphers in the suitcase. Closing it, she turned around as she went to salvage whatever was left from the explosion. She had three suitcases of 41st century technology and her red backpack. As she grabbed all of them, she wasn't expecting to see Hoot on the shore.
"Are we ready to seek shelter?" asked Setsuna.
"Yes. Can we talk?" asked Hoot.
Setsuna looked down at her, "Hoot, the answer is no."
Hoot floated across as it landed on Setsuna's shoulder, "Setsuna, your officer friends are killed. You had no other choice but to ask the others to help you. I understand that you are going against all the rules of time. You cut corners doing what you did. But, I read information about the 21st century… including Cyrus."
"My mission is to get Capone," said Setsuna, looking at Hoot, "Cyrus will be next. But, he's not as tough. He's a weakling."
"So you say now… but once he learns about the technology, it won't stop him to finish the job. He might take over Team Galactic!" said Hoot.
"Team Galactic… wow, still not as scary," said Setsuna, looking at the shore. Hoot turned around as it pecked Setsuna on the head. Setsuna looked up as Hoot pecked repeatedly, "What is with you?"
"You are in over your head," Hoot replied, landing in front of her, "You just don't want to ask for help because deep down inside you are worried that the four people you drafted to help you are going to die because of your revenge. Your goal isn't Capone, it's revenge. You are still grieving for your losses."
Setsuna said nothing. Hoot continued, "Besides, I received orders. Capone and his goons aren't the only thing taken, remember? He has the whole solitary confinement with him. If they know how to work the criminal compression system, you will have to recapture."
Setsuna froze as she turned to Hoot. Hoot looked at Setsuna as it turned to the sunset that was going on, "I think you will need to reconsider and have them help you."
Sunyshore City…
The other four trainers were sitting in the center square as the fire department was putting out fires and saving the rest of the people. A few Empoleon, Staryu and Squirtle were running around, putting out the fires as many were rescued. The Blastoise were used for the big fires. As Mason turned around, he looked at the four of them, "I can't believe one… mutated criminal actually burnt the city down."
"It was more than just one. It was an organized gang," said Carl, turning to the damage, "There's still so much to learn."
"Learn?" asked Xavier, "Dude, those Vector Sabers were not your typical sabers. I wish we had them earlier to protect Sinnoh. We could've teamed up with Dino Charge."
"I mean… 41st Century technology is nice to have," Mason added, shrugging, "I wonder why Setsuna was reluctant though."
"Well, it seemed she was out for revenge," Stacy said as she turned around, "If she wanted to handle Croak Capone by herself, she would do whatever it took. But, we have a huge problem though."
"Problem?" asked Mason, raising an eyebrow.
"Cyrus isn't supposed to be here. He's dead," said Stacy, "He never escaped the Distortion World, at least according to what we know from sources in the history books. Carl's right… how can we also arrest a dead criminal?"
Carl turned around as he looked at her. She brought up a valid point. He turned to her as he looked at her, "I wish I had an answer."
Stacy sighed as she lifted her body off the park bench, "Well, that's a mystery."
"By the way…," said Carl, giving her a stare. Stacy turned around as she looked at him, gulping, "Yeah?"
"Why did you loot all of that money?" asked Carl.
Stacy said nothing as she looked away. Mason and Xavier turned around as they stood up. Mason watched as Stacy folded her arms. Mason nodded as he turned to her, "Yeah, why did you?"
Stacy sighed as she turned to them, "Well, I guess there's no way to lie out of this one… I was trying to rebuild… you know, it's not every day you get arrested for being part of a gang. That's why I know that Capone will do anything to groom Cyrus into being part of his ordeal. That's what Giovanni and Proton did to new Team Rocket members."
"Wait… you were a Team Rocket member?" asked Carl in an angry tone. She turned around as she stared at Carl, "Yes, Carl. I was. I spent 5 years in Celadon Prison. Proton didn't bail me out. I served my time. I just got out of jail a week ago and I was trying to rebuild my life. I left Kanto for that reason. Stealing was the only way… I have no place to go."
Carl looked down as he turned to the others. Xavier looked at the ground, not being able to look at Stacy in the face. Stacy sighed as she turned around, heading toward the beach. Mason looked up as he stepped forward, "Stacy…"
Stacy froze as she looked up. Mason shrugged, "Why don't you stay at my place tonight?"
The other trainers looked at him. Xavier looked over as Carl turned to him. Mason ignored their reaction as he walked over, "You can get a shower, eat, feed your Pokémon if you have any and take some time for you. Tomorrow, we can find the cash and we can get it anonymously returned… clean slate. And then, I can show you some places to get you back on your feet. Sound good?"
Stacy grinned as she turned to Mason, "I'd like that."
Carl grabbed Mason by the shoulder, "You can't do that! That's being an accomplice!."
"You just don't get it do you, Carl? Three things that any living being needs is food, water and shelter. She must've been on the run for days after prison. It wouldn't surprise me that she was a stow away on a plane or a boat to get here. I get what you meant by it… but show some damn compassion and humility for once in your life," Mason said in a stern tone. Carl said nothing as Mason walked with her. Xavier and Carl turned to each other as they split ways. The day was ending, and it was a long one for everyone…
Well, almost everyone was exhausted. Razor Fang was standing on one of the clean buildings that wasn't touched. He looked at the smoke clearing up as he saw the cleanup was almost done. He laughed as he looked at what was going on.
"Sunyshore City… this city is going down… in flames," he said, grabbing a ruby crystal, shaped like a Charizard tooth. He turned around as he placed it next to a gas tank, "Setting the clock."
As he set the timer, he turned around as he looked at the buildings, laughing. A blue aura surrounded him as he disappeared.
The next morning…
The sun was starting to rise in the beautiful city of Sunyshore. The sun was starting to peak right into the windows of Mason's house, which was attached to another building. Stacy was sleeping on the couch. Her Pokémon nestled in her Poké Balls as she was now washed up and cleaned up from her ordeal yesterday. Mason was already up as he was sitting in a black sleeveless shirt and yellow sweatpants. His eyes looked up as he was turning to see the sun. He already told his employees he wouldn't be in.
As he went to make a cup of coffee, Stacy's eyes stared at the ceiling as Mason was having a glass. He looked to see Stacy wearing a white t-shirt with blue pants. Her outfit that she had been wearing since she left prison was washed and hung up.
"You did all of that?" asked Stacy, yawning.
"You can say that," said Mason, looking at her, "Coffee?"
"Yeah, that would be great," Stacy replied, looking up, "Hey, thank you for taking me in."
Mason chuckled as he looked at her, "Not a problem. Sometimes, you need to lend a hand. Now, if you were a current criminal…"
"Don't push it," Stacy interrupted. Mason nodded silently as he placed the coffee in her hand. Stacy grinned as she went to take a sip, "So, what do you do?"
"I am a business owner. I run a chain of restaurants in the Sinnoh Region. It's called Chariken, a fried chicken franchise," said Mason, "With some southern hospitality."
"That's cool," Stacy said, "I am sure being a business owner has its things."
Mason shrugged, "If you only knew."
As the two started chuckling, the house started shaking. The two trainers looked at each other as they were looking outside. Mason and Stacy's eyes grew as the building that they just saw, lit up and exploded into pieces. Then, another building exploded into pieces. After that, one right next to them started to explode.
"Get down!"
Mason tackled Stacy to the ground as the windows exploded with smoke coming out. As Mason got up from the debris, helping her, Stacy walked over as she noticed someone down there. Stacy examined it. Razor Fang was laughing as he had a detonator device in his hand, looking at them.
"Capone is going to be so glad! Bomb the city, get the cash!"
Mason turned to Stacy. Stacy nodded as they quickly went to get dressed. Running down the stairs, they managed to go through the restaurant and out the door. As they exited to the street, seeing the flames of buildings. Mason turned as Razor Fang looked at them, "Oh, you're alive!"
"Well, after what you just did, I'm lucky," said Mason.
"You must be one of those mutants from Capone's crew," said Stacy.
Razor Fang laughed as he looked at the two of them, "It seems word travels fast in the 21st Century. I am Serial Killer Razor Fang. I served 40 years in freeze compression to blow up buildings and collect cash. Seeing that you know what I am, you are at risk now."
"What do you mean?" Stacy asked.
"You have two hours to get me 100,000,000 pokedollars. There are ruby Charizard fangs located throughout the city. In two hours, they will create a chain reaction and Sunyshore City will be blown up," he said, laughing.
Mason turned to Stacy, as he went to take a step forward. Quickly, Razor Fang went to grab his pistol. Stacy tackled him as the blast missed them by a hair. Mason looked up as Razor Fang grinned, "Two hours… good luck."
Dashing away, Mason looked up as Stacy turned to him. Stacy nodded as she looked over. Carl and Xavier were dashing down the street, looking at the two trainers. Xavier looked up as he turned to them, "My apartment just got severely damaged."
"Same… my loft is heavily damaged. What's going on?" asked Carl.
"We need to find 100,000,000 pokedollars to give to Razor Fang. Or he's going to blow up the whole city," Mason said.
"Who is Razor Fang?" asked Carl, looking down. He then looked up as he turned to them, having an epiphany, "Don't tell me-."
"He's with Capone, isn't he?" Xavier asked. Mason and Stacy were silent, giving nods. Xavier took a deep breath, "So, it looks like Capone is more than just a villain."
Stacy took a deep breath, heading toward the debris. She grinned as she started dashing toward the debris. Running, Carl turned around as he chased her down. The others turned around as they followed. As Stacy was heading toward the entrance to the beach, she could see the wooden planking. As she went to hop over, Carl grabbed her by the shirt and threw her down.
"Carl, let me go!"
"Not until you tell me why you are running away," said Carl.
Stacy stretched her hand, scratching Carl in the face. Getting off, she looked at him as he had blood on his right cheek, "You are going to take the cash and run… aren't you?"
Stacy took a deep breath as she looked at him, "There's $25 million in the sand."
Xavier and Mason stood in shock. How was Stacy able to get all of that money is beyond her. She turned around as she looked at the team, "While traveling Sinnoh, I did manage to steal money over the course of the week. I made quite a haul. But, Mason made me learn something."
The three trainers looked at each other as she placed her hands on the boardwalk railing, "I am an ex-criminal who is just trying to survive. My past should not define me… however, I am willing to change for tomorrow. I plan on stealing the money to protect the city."
"Uh… and how are you going to get the other 75?" asked Xavier.
Stacy turned around as she looked at them, "Good question… what if… we talked to someone who can do it legally?"
"Legally?" asked Mason, looking at the beach, "Like Setsuna?"
"Yeah. Plus, she needs to know that one of the criminals is in the city. There's no way our police will be able to handle them," said Stacy, "Come on."
The other rangers hopped off the boardwalk and headed straight toward the beach. The four dashed toward the rocky ledges along the shore.
Sunyshore Coast…
Setsuna was already up and wearing her Time Force uniform. As she went to sit down, she noticed some green paper popping out of the sand. Getting on her knees, she looked up to notice a huge bag of cash. Setsuna's eyes widened as she looked at them, "Look at all of this cash!"
Hoot looked downward, "Someone is hiding the cash for a reason."
"Why is the question," said Setsuna.
Suddenly, Hoot's eyes began to blink. It's eyes looked upward as a screen appeared. Setsuna looked up as she noticed a human, looking down at her. Hoot looked up as Setsuna noticed the man in a Time Force suit. He had pepper grey hair and blue eyes with a blue suit.
"Officer Yukimura, I see you made it… in the wrong time era," he said.
"Yes, sir," said Setsuna, "I managed to get here… roughly, Captain Rosoce. Capone has made a move here."
Roscoe looked at her, "You mean… it already started. Where's Cyrus?"
"Cyrus is there too. All four are working together. I plan on not returning until Capone is back in solitary confinement. Will I have a ship to bring back?"
Roscoe froze as his eyes looked directly at Setsuna, "I'm sorry to say, but it's going to take months to build a new time ship."
Setsuna looked up as she turned to Roscoe, "But, what about the emergency system?"
"No… those jets are not for transport. Only for emergencies," he said, looking at her, "Also, I have some terrible news."
Setsuna looked up as she was silent. Roscoe went to speak, "Ken and the others are dead from Capone's shootout."
Setsuna froze as she fell to her knees. Roscoe looked across as she looked up, "Setsuna, I understand that sending you alone wasn't part of the plan… and I am sorry for your losses. We are all sorry. Just do us a favor and do whatever it takes to get Capone back."
Setsuna nodded as she looked at the screen, "You can count on me."
The screen diminished as she looked at the sand. Clenching her fists, she slammed them on the sand. As tears flowed from her eyes, the crying turned into impenetrable sobbing. As she placed her hands over her face, Hoot was silent as it looked at her. She cried immensely as she looked at the area. As the sobbing continued, Stacy and the others were looking over, watching.
"I can't go back… I lost my friends… I'm all alone… and stuck here. How the hell am I supposed to do my job and capture Capone now?"
She looked down as she managed to stand up. As her head turned to go behind, she froze as the others showed up.
"What are you doing here?" asked Setsuna.
Stacy walked forward, "Fighting for our tomorrow."
Xavier turned to the rangers as he stepped forward, "Tomorrow is never promised, but when it comes, we can always change it for the better good."
Mason nodded as he walked toward her, "Correct. And we want to help you find your joy for tomorrow."
Carl grinned as he walked over, "You might not be able to come back, but we can all start off on the right foot… together."
Setsuna turned around as she reached for one of her suitcases. Opening them, she found the four Chrono Morphers. As the rangers picked theirs up, she turned to them as she looked at the team, "I'm sorry if I was being rude to you. I was hoping to just grab and go… I guess I will have to adapt."
Stacy nodded as she looked at the cash, "And you are going to need to step away from the cash. We're going to have to use it."
"For what?" asked Setsuna.
Xavier froze as he looked at the red ranger, "Capone sent a bounty hunter named Razor Fang. We have about an hour to come up with 100,000,000 poke dollars or Sunyshore City will be nothing but a city of flames. He has Charizard crystals located throughout the city."
"And why is there cash here?"
Stacy froze. She looked up as she turned to Setsuna, "Because Setsuna … I was a criminal and instead of using it for me, I want to help others. It's a long story."
Setsuna nodded as she grabbed her Chrono Morpher, "I'm here for a while. I'm sure I will hear it all. But, we don't need to grab all the cash."
"What do you mean?" asked Stacy.
"It's time to show what we 41st century detectives do," said Setsuna, grinning, "Hoot, shall we?"
"You got it," Hoot said, "This should take us a few minutes to do."
Sunyshore Pier…
Razor Fang laughed as he was looking at his watch. He saw that two hours were almost up. He turned around as he went to press a blue button on his watch. A vision of Capone showed up on the screen.
"Are you getting the money?" asked Capone.
"Let's just say two civilians will be getting that money," said Razor Fang, "Don't worry…."
"I hope so… I can't wait to be rich in this century," he said, grinning. As his image disappeared, he looked up as he noticed a blue car with white stripes. As the car stopped, he looked up as he noticed Stacy and Mason getting out of the car. As they got out of the car, Stacy and Mason reached for the back seat, picking up two cases each. The rangers were walking toward them as they headed toward Razor Fang. Razor Fang laughed as he looked at them.
"So, you civilians panicked," said Razor Fang.
"Well, when you have the internet, you never how much people will spend," said Stacy, grinning as she stretched both hands, "Here you go."
"Yep," Mason said.
Razor Fang turned around as he looked at the case. He looked up, seeing them. He turned around as he looked at them, "That's too bad."
Stacy and Mason looked at each other as he brought out his detonation device. It was black with three green buttons, "It is time to blow your city to smithereens."
As he went to press the button, Stacy and Mason took cover as he activated the device… but there was no response. Razor Fang turned around as he looked at it, "Why doesn't it work?"
"Simple," a voice said as Razor Fang turned around. Razor Fang turned to see Carl with a black device, "We were able to jam your device. We learned your crystals relate to the detonator. So, thanks to some help we jammed it."
"Huh?" asked Razor Fang.
Xavier also arrived as he got out of the trunk. He slammed the trunk as he appeared with them. Carl grinned as Xavier turned around, "Then… the money you wanted was sent back to the local businesses."
"That means-," said Razor Fang, kneeling as he opened the case. He looked up to see that all of the cases had the crystals. Razor Fang turned around as he looked at him, "How did you know about the crystals?"
"Simple… hello, Razor Fang," a voice said. Razor Fang looked up as Setsuna arrived, walking toward the team. Razor Fang hissed a little, "I remember you. You threw me in jail!"
"That's right I did. I helped them with this operation. All of the crystals were found within a half hour and the authorities collected them to be brought into the cases. Once they were in cases, we had one guy protecting the cases and one guy to jam your detonator."
"And it's a good thing you didn't use it. You would've blown up the whole city and more with that much power," said Carl, grinning. Walking past Razor Fang, he grabbed the detonator. He withdrew a silver blaster with a green laser point. Pulling the trigger, a green beam of energy emerged, destroying it. Razor Fang turned around as he looked at him, withdrawing his blasters, "You're going to pay for this."
"Yup," said Setsuna, "And you're under arrest. Let's go team!"
"Right!" shouted the rangers.
Setsuna stood in the middle as she formed an X with her arms, the morpher faced Razor Fang. The others followed suit as they stretched out their arms and then placed two fingers on the morpher, "Time for… Time Force!"
Pressing the button, a red and white Poké Ball was flashing on the morpher as blue lights began to swirl. The rangers jumped up as they transformed into their suits, landing on the concrete.
"Time Force Red!"
"… Pink!"
"… Blue!"
"… Yellow!"
"… Green!"
"Time Force!"
Setsuna revealed her Time Force Badge, a silver and black badge with a silver triangle on top with a blue jewel, resembling the Adamant Orb, "Razor Fang, we're bringing you in. Prepare yourself."
"Screw that!" he said, pulling out two red blasters. Shooting them, the five rangers were hit as they landed on the ground. Setsuna picked herself up as she stretched out her Chrono Morpher, "Chrono Access!"
As her Vector Sabers appeared, she slashed Razor Fang. Razor Fang wrapped his body around as he flew across. He threw her down on one of the boxcars. Sparks flew as she landed on the ground. Razor Fang laughed as he looked at Setsuna. Setsuna tried to get up, only for Stacy and the others to arrive.
"Vector Hurley!"
Pink, green, blue and yellow lights struck as Razor Fang was hit in the back. Razor Fang yelled as he landed on the ground. Stacy jumped up as she used both her Vector Sabers. She had one hand reaching above her head and one hand reaching down toward the ground with a pink clock appearing behind her, "Time Strike, 6!"
Two vertical pink lines struck Razor Fang as she landed on the ground. As the blades came into contact, one of the blades struck a black patch from his right shoulder. As the patch landed on the ground, smoke was coming out as he began to glow in a green aura. Razor Fang was now a giant as he looked up.
"Alright!" he shouted.
"What did I do?" Stacy asked, dropping her sabers.
"Simple. You scratched the patch. Each criminal has one that we've caught. When we rip the badge, it makes them normal. In this case, it seems Capone didn't do that and now it's bigger," said Setsuna.
"Great…" said Xavier, looking to see the blasters, "Look out!"
Razor Fang's ruby blasters were used. The rangers dodged as explosions surrounded them. Immediately, Setsuna reached for her Chrono Morpher, "Hoot, you know those jets I was talking about?"
"Yes," said Hoot on the intercom, "Sending information now… Time Force, Activate Emergency System!"
Sunyshore City 4024…
Alarms were blaring across the Time Force station. As the lights were blaring, the red lights were shining on the runway as the Adamant Orb began to glow in a blue aura. The Adamant Orb began to release an energy beam as a black archway appeared. A blue and purple aura surrounded the area. Five different jets, shaped like starships appeared. Each one was designed in a ranger color.
The first one was a silver jet with red fire stripes. It had a black front and a red back to it. Lights turned on as the jet engines began to ignite.
"Time Gate, online!"
"Tinkaton Robot, standby!"
A robotic Tinkaton appeared as it carried a purple and black sledgehammer.
"Time Force Zord 1… ready for launch!"
A purplish aura surrounded the sledgehammer as Tinkaton slammed Time Force Zord 1. The jet launched at supersonic speeds as it was heading to the gate. Two jets were rising from the bottom, this time one was a blue jet with water droplets and a black design. The other one was similar with green leaves.
"Time Force Zords 2 and 3… ready for launch!"
The same method was used as the two zords went through the gate. Lastly, two jets were rising from the hangar in a similar design. Except, one was a yellow with lightning bolt designs and the other was pink with rainbow, psychic designs.
"Time Force Zords 4 and 5, ready for launch!"
The exact same method happened to the two zords. As the last two zords disappeared, the time gate closed.
During the slipstream, the Time Force Zords went through two thousand years of history. As a white light surrounded, the five jets appeared out of Sunyshore City's attractions. Flying across, the rangers were in awe as they were looking at them.
"I'm not surprised but I am loving the tech," said Carl.
"Save the awing for later," said Setsuna, "Time Flyer!"
The Time Flyer, a white and black jet with a blaster on top, materialized from Setsuna's Chrono Morpher, floating over the dock. The five rangers landed on the flyer as they headed straight toward the Time Force Zords. Razor Fang released beams from his blaster. The rangers held on as Setsuna pulled the trigger. Red and blue beams struck out as Razor Fang was hit. As the rangers headed closer, the zords opened their hoods.
"Jump!" shouted Setsuna.
The rangers watched as Setsuna managed to land in Time Force Zord 1. The others gulped as they hopped into their own zords. As they got on, Carl looked around as he saw the hood close over him. Freaking out, he took a breath as he was looking at the console. Everything was in a futuristic design, "This is interesting!"
"Yeah," said Stacy, looking at it.
"Alright guys, seeing that you are new to this, press the blue button on your right," said Setsuna, "It will allow auto control."
"Got it," said the rangers. Pressing the button, Setsuna turned around as she looked at Razor Fang. Razor Fang released red beams of energy. The rangers held on as Setsuna aimed with her target.
"Fire Laser!"
Red beams unleashed from the jet, hitting Razor Fang in the face.
"Setsuna, use the Time Force Megazord formation!"
"Megazord Formation?" asked the rangers.
"Understood," said Setsuna, "Megazord Formation, Beta Mode!"
The rangers held on as the Time Jets were floating up in the air. Time Jets 2 and 3 were flying up vertically. The jets folded as blue arms appeared. Time Jets 4 and 5 were flying below as the jets folded, turning into legs. Time Jet 1 formed to become the chest. All of the jets combined as the front of the jet opened, revealing a blue helmet.
Looking across, the Time Flyer started flying across.
"Time Blaster!"
The Time Flyer folded into a white laser pistol with two black nozzles poking out. Picking it up, the Time Force Megazord Beta landed on the ground, picking up the blaster, aiming at Razor Fang.
Inside the cockpit, the cockpit had blue lights everywhere. There were no seats, just joysticks shaped like sabers dug into the floor. Carl and Stacy stood in the back while Mason, Setsuna and Xavier stood in the front.
"Let's do this!" said Setsuna.
"Take this!" he shouted, pulling the trigger. Red beams struck as the Megazord was hit. As the Time Force Megazord flew across, Setsuna turned to press a button on the console, "Virtual Matrix!"
Bouncing off a cloud, a green grid formed as the Time Force Megazord floated. With the Time Blaster, a shootout occurred across, causing explosions. The Time Force Megazord pulled the trigger a few times, knocking Razor Fang down. Razor Fang put his two blasters together. A red aura surrounded them as a purple energy saber appeared. He walked forward as he slashed the Megazord. Explosions occurred as the rangers landed on the ground.
"Change formation!" said Hoot.
"Got it… Open Formation!" Setsuna shouted.
A blue aura surrounded the Time Force Megazord as it split back into five jets. Setsuna turned around as she looked at her system, "Pokémon Change!"
A red aura surrounded Time Jet 1 as it transformed into a robotic Infernape with much more futuristic features. The Infernape rolled across as it swung its foot across. Flames occurred as explosions appeared.
"Let's do it, X!" shouted Carl.
"Got it, Pokémon Change!"
A blue and green aura surrounded them as they also transformed. Time Jet 2 transformed into an Empoleon while Time Jet 3 turned into Torterra.
"Power Whip!" Carl shouted.
Strong vines emerged from Torterra as it smacked Razor Fang. Empoleon jumped up as it used its arm, "Metal Claw!"
Razor Fang yelled as he spun around. Turning around, he gasped as he saw Iron Valiant with a Luxray next to it. Coming from Time Jets 5 and 4, Mason turned around as he looked at Stacy, "Thunderbolt!"
Yellow thunderbolts emerged from Luxray as Razor Fang was hit. He then turned around, dazed as Iron Valiant used its weapon.
"Psycho Cut!"
Psychic slashes surrounded Razor Fang as it landed on the ground. Smoke filled the air as Hoot turned to the team, "Change Formation… Time Force Megazord, Alpha!"
"Ok!" shouted the team, "Megazord Formation, Alpha Mode!"
Iron Valiant folded its weapon as it transformed into an arm with Luxray. Luxray transformed into arm as the tail shrunk, legs folded with a hand forming. The two arms floated across as the Empoleon Zord split into two legs. The head shrunk as the body split. The Torterra Zord shrunk its head and arms, becoming the chest as the tree detached, becoming the shield. The Infernape jumped up as it crossed its arms and legs. The Infernape combined with the Torterra as its head popped up. The other zords connected with it. The tree was held, becoming a shield.
The rangers this time landed in a cockpit, with red lights. Setsuna appeared with her console, "Time Force Megazord Saber!"
A pink blade, similar to Iron Valiant's lance appeared. It was a pink blade with a silver hilt and blue crystal with black and gold lights. The Time Force Megazord landed on the ground. Razor Fang stood there as its blade began to charge. Purple lights surrounded it, "Time to die!"
"It's jail time for you," said Setsuna, pressing a button on the joystick. A red aura surrounded it as a duplicate saber appeared, the same as the Time Force Megazord Saber. Pulling it out, she stretched it out as two blades on either side stretched out, exactly like the Megazord. As the Megazord stretched it, the same thing happened. A green clock appeared behind it as the clouds and skies got darker.
"What the-?" he asked, charging forward. He slashed the Megazord, only for the Megazord to block the weapon. The Megazord then turned and slashed the saber, Razor Fang's weapon broke into pieces.
"Blizzard Strike!"
A teal aura surrounded the Megazord Saber as it slashed Razor Fang. Upon contact, a yellow and green energy slash surrounded the criminal as he screamed. Razor Fang froze as Setsuna turned to the screen, "Time's up!"
3… 2… 1… FREEZE!
"AHHHHH!"
The screams of Razor Fang echoed as he landed on the ground, causing an explosion. As the explosions appeared, Razor Fang began to glow as it shrunk into a miniature. The skies began to brighten as the rangers were looking at the console.
"Alright!" shouted the rangers.
Suddenly, a white aura surrounded them as the rangers disappeared back on the ground. Stacy looked up as the Time Force Megazord split into the Time Jets, flying back into the time gate. Carl looked at it as he turned to Setsuna, "That's the Emergency System?."
"Well," said Mason, looking up, "Granted, it's not every day we pilot a 2,000-year-old futuristic robot."
Setsuna knelt on one knee, seeing Razor Fang's mini body. As Razor Fang struggled to get up, he looked up as the badge appeared. A silver capsule surrounded Razor Fang as it was frozen stiff. She turned around as she carried it, "Case closed."
Hours later…
The sun was starting to set as the rangers were heading home. Setsuna looked across as she was looking at the sunset, sighing as she turned to the others. Stacy stopped walking as Setsuna was heading toward the beach. Looking down, Stacy walked over as she pulled Setsuna by the arm. Setsuna turned around, "What?"
"Where are you staying?"
Setsuna froze as she looked at Stacy, "Well… on the beach."
Xavier stepped forward as he looked at her, "You don't have a place to stay, do you?"
Setsuna shook her head as Xavier's grin appeared, "I have just the place. Let's bring your stuff."
Within an hour, all of the rangers were helping Setsuna pack up her stuff. As Hoot and Setsuna walked with the others, Xavier led the way. An abandoned lighthouse appeared off the coast. It was grey with a grandfather clock on top. The roof was bright green and it had three floors. Reaching for the door, Xavier opened it as the others entered. Setsuna froze as she looked at it. It had an office that was abandoned. Up the stairs, the rangers followed to see it was an apartment complex.
"Xavier, how did you find this place?" Carl asked.
"It's mine," said Xavier, grinning, "I managed to find this lighthouse and make it my home."
Setsuna looked around. There was a huge kitchen and living room area for his Pokémon. There were three extra rooms as well, one being his. The lights were around the area as he turned to the team, "You like?"
Setsuna grinned as she dropped her bags, "Thank you."
"My pleasure," said Xavier.
Mason turned around as he looked at Stacy. Stacy sighed as she turned to Xavier, "Xavier, do you have room for one more?"
Xavier froze as he looked at the clock and then at Stacy. He sighed as he looked at her, "As long as you don't steal anything."
Stacy rolled her eyes as she punched him in the arm. Xavier laughed as Carl turned to Mason. Carl laughed as he turned to them, "Well, I guess I'll move in."
Mason shook his head, "I love my loft… so I'll stay where I am at."
Hoot floated across as the rangers were talking, helping Setsuna settle. Hoot was very confused. He was still wondering who activated the Time Jets from the 41st Century.
Case File: February 10, 2024
Next… Time Force!
Stacy: I don't think this is a good idea to move in with you.
Setsuna: Well, you are just going to have to get over it.
Xavier: Hey guys, no big deal…
Cyrus: Ah, another criminal… can do some bank robberies.
Capone: Excellent
Hoot: There have been some robberies happening lately.
Xavier: Really… well, it wouldn't hurt to investigate.
Stacy: Since when can you drive this fast?
Xavier: There are some things you don't know.
Stacy: Xavier… Wall!
?: You can't control this vehicle!
Xavier and Stacy: AHHHHH!
