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.
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 149: New Futures And Fresh Starts II: Time's Arrow and Recovery V
"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 then
"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." Preston 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, Aisha and Adam took the duo's places and Billy took back his, we're the new quintet version of the original five." he said their parents nodded to him.
"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. "Alright before we anything rash, and how's the head exactly here, Adam said you got blown away from the pit." Karen said and he froze, as he realized something, when surrounded the entire team, he realized the fog in his head was lifting. Like he been broadsided by one of Rita's spells then
"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 turned to her desperately at that remark.
"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 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.
"Why didn't you just come to talk to me first exactly, was us ending it this way the best choice. I love you, I always did, but why didn't you just come to see me exactly." he said as he felt his heart start breaking for real as she answered him. "I tried to tell you, I called you every night, but every time I did I got a busy tone. So I knew you moved with her, Tommy I love you more then words can say."
"You're my falcon, you always were, but how can you be my mate if you don't even listen to your heart. Remember, you're still the falcon, as the falcon you're supposed to read between the lines Tommy. But do you not understand here 'met someone else', there is no one else, 'friends'. We were friends long before we ever became a couple and 'brother', get Jason and bring him home now."
"Only he could help you recover from your getting turned when I'm not here, if you wanted a chance to keep me why didn't you come after me. After you read that letter, you're supposed to know me, you're supposed to know me, like Jason and Billy do. Like Rocky and Adam do, Zack's lost me as a result of his taking sides and acting before he thinks, well you made the same mistake."
"By not reading between the lines, does that sound like me Tommy, it broke my heart to write it, answer me. Does writing a letter like this sound like me at all right now." she said to him then as he felt his heart breaking as she spelled it out to him. "We still have our powers as Ninjetti, and only a Ninjetti can see the truth in another Ninjetti's words now, our powers were never destroyed, Tommy."
"They destroyed the conduit, I was going to tell you this when I told you why I wrote that letter. But though they destroyed the conduit, they never destroyed our powers, we're still Ninjetti. To test the strength of our soulmate bond we had to put it to the test, but I meant it now. That the crane and the falcon will fly together forever, so just what am I really saying to you now, Tommy."
"Read through the words: the falcon and crane will fly together forever. Your crane, my falcon, what am I really saying now to you ?" she snapped and he closed his eyes. "That was my biggest mistake, believing they destroyed us when they didn't, Brennan was never destroyed, he went back into my heart. And the second he's gone I forget everything Dulcea ever taught us." Frank said with a sigh as he heard himself say it then to her.
"But think it over, if I never let you go, you let me go, would you be the man I used to know, only you can answer that, but Crane and Falcon." she said and he felt the tears running down his face as Cathy looked at her then. "We're soulmates, the crane and falcon, you and me, we'll fly together forever. It's just a step back, why didn't I listen to my heart, please don't do this, Kim, please."
"Give us another chance Kim please, don't leave me, give me another chance to make it right." he said and she sighed. "When I came back to talk to you I find you with her now, you in the youth center dancing, looking like we did. Think about it, if you were Peter Parker and I'm Mary Jane, where does she fall into it. And this, she likes you, I know that, but at first you only had eyes for me now."
"You prepared to marry me, listen to me when I left I had this constant ache, like a weight in my heart, you know what it was?" she asked and he shook his head as he moved closer to her then as he gave her a hug and she burrowed into his arms. "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't give us this chance last year, but we can do this now, just tell me the truth." he said and quickly looked up at the duo gently.
"Whatever had me….." He started to say and turned to look at Catherine then. "Hold on, the guys and I were still thinking straight, when Aisha was still here now. But after she leaves and.., Billy could it be that both versions had to be a sextet to protect. And against mind control spells?" he asked and Yost crossed his arms. "The both being you guys, Kim and Aisha, or you, Jason, Zack and Trini." Nakia said and he nodded then.
"That's exactly what he means and to answer your question Tommy, yeah I do, we were fine every time we were together. But even we got tired of the excessive call in, but once Aisha broke the spell, we're back to normal. The rivalry spell between you and Jason same thing, and there it is now, we been side swiped. With Aisha here we never would have fallen for that letter, knowing everything, aside from her training."
"Is a lie, but once Aisha leaves and that's it." he said and Cardenas crossed his own. "As I said you never mentioned seeing anyone, but just a name, Carter this, and Carter that. Carter is your brother, from your father's fling, before we were born now, now the sextet knew this, but there is nobody, that someone. It's Carter, you found the Greysons, you said?" Frank said and she nodded and Austin smiled in relief at the realization.
Then and Yost crossed his arms as the trio and Nakia did the same. "Hold it." Nakia said, pulling out a picture of a sextet with 2 black children. A Chinese girl and 3 boys and girls, dressed in their respective colors. "Jason, is that you and Billy?" she asked and he looked at the picture and smiled. "Yeah that's us, Kim, Zack and Trini, when we were 8, and the twins were 2, Aunt Carrie got back together with her high school sweetie, his name."
"Is Jordan McKnight, the twins are Connor Jayden and Eric Jordan." he said and she nodded. "Then I knew about Carter, our parents knew everything about the Porter family, but Ken. He had one night stand with a woman named Maria Greyson, Ken's middle name is Carter. So Carter Jefferson Greyson, who's possibly…, Aisha, who's your cousin's best friend exactly." Nakia asked her gently and she explained that to her.
"Carter J. Greyson.., oh my god, this Carter and Patrick's best friend are the same man!" Cardenas said for her and they smiled in delight. "So there it is, she found Carter in Miami of all places and alerted the 3 of you first. And before Tommy brought you home, Jason, well Katherine, I think you made a huge mistake here. As there never was anyone else right now, Tommy belongs to Kimberly." Walter said sternly to this.
"There never was anyone else, Carter is her brother, so that person she would be talking too on the couch, is Carter and Patrick." Frank said and he nodded sternly. "They're 21, we're 18 and about to start college, they're too old for her, 2) secondly you're too in love to even consider breaking up and 3) why send it to the juice bar. Answer: so Ernie or Stone can decode it for us." Bosch said sternly and he nodded then.
"Katherine how could you, there never was any break up, she was telling us in code the powers are still active, and we're distracting her. She and I should take a step back to when I came back white and 3) get Jason and bring him home. So I had my guy trio with me at all times, though Zack's not here, I have Adam with me. And that helps here, and finally here, she and me forever, we're engaged." he said sternly to this.
"There's going to be hell to pay now when the parents in question get the entire truth now." The man playing Ernie said sternly and their parents and the woman who was playing their mentor. Said that replaced Fielding and Gregg Bullock, who was playing Stone, nodded in stern agreement then. "That's the understatement of the century, it's like the notebook, but then we're young adults playing a group of just about to graduate teenagers." She said to this then.
"Meaning she found her way back to Carter, there is no one else, there never was, it's Carter, she found Carter, he's Patrick's best friend." Thuy said smiling and Karen nodded in shock then firmly at the news then. "He's everything that you love about me, us, the quartet and me, same personality, your safety and happiness is all I care about." Austin said and Sutherland swallowed hard in fear at that, realizing she screwed up at that.
"So there it is right now at the moment, she's been hanging around with her brother and his best friend, and they're 3 years older and too old for her." Walter said sternly and she swallowed hard at that. "Patrick promised to watch out for her, while she was there with him, and for added protection, he got Carter involved in total truth. Just like we would, we never leave the girls unprotected and are close by." Yost said to this then.
"And with that in mind here, you tell each other everything 1), 2) if it was important, it would be talked about over the phone, or in person, but Zordon said. We can't use our powers for our own personal gain, but we can our communicators now. And 3) and most important, you never send letters, after he came back white at the moment. Before we took on the Ninjetti powers, and a Ninjetti can hear the truth here now."
"And in another Ninjetti's words now at the time here, so now the question becomes here, just why would a letter show up and at the juice bar of all places exactly." Bosch said gently and Frank nodded in agreement. "Answer: it's a ranger warning on the side effects of our powers, we're still in our infancy, so we can see into each others souls. Secondly she found Carter, and was telling us, everything was fine here over there."
"Though the separation is having the connection go crazy and her distraction is enough that Coach is bringing it home right now. And you were friends long before you became a couple, so a step back, after Tommy got his powers back. Via pre white ranger era now, and finally, for safety sake, with the fact. Now that the powers can go to me now, as the Zeo blue, Jason gets the armor, get Jason." Yost said sternly to that.
"Yeah about that, right now, we need to discuss this, but if we were anyone, we're Hoffman and Russo, fight and make up, fight and make up, never let go." she said and he smiled. "We're both stubborn, especially you." he said and Austin looked down smiling, seeing what was happening between them. "Hey guys, you see what I see here, happening now, we saw this before, during the president elections?" Bosch asked and they nodded.
"After the putty she stepped on and Goldar ending up in the middle the message became clear: stay out of the fight between you, before we end up in the middle. And to quote Spacey now, the only reason I been friends with the two of you this long. Said is I never have debates like this, but first the student body elections and now, in truth, you're fighting over a false break up letter, what's next." Yost said with a smile.
As Amy hugged Frank and he tightened his arms around her. "You never let me go did you, I always knew the right way to handle things, but there it is. It was me, wasn't it, you heard my voice in place of her's, after Gaskett's spell." she asked and he nodded. "Yeah you and me always, just when they think they have us, we snap back out of it. He's right, I never gave up before why would I now, I love you." he said to her gently then.
"It's over, he broke it, before they destroyed us, we win again!" Austin said smiling and they smiled in delight then. "Oh you should have thought of this sooner, these repeated head injuries can and could break the spells. That she, Jason and I got blasted away from the pit right now, and I wasn't wearing my helmet either right now." he said and she and Austin nodded. "Issues with the power blasts." Bosch said and Karen smiled.
"Katherine, that was no break up letter she was alerting us to the fact that our powers are distracting her and when Goldar destroyed the power coins. Shal returned to her, and we're still linked, but I can't believe you right now, that. In truth after everything she ever did for you, you did this, they never broke up here. They took a step back damn it!" Karen shouted in fury and she swallowed hard, realizing it wasn't a break up then.
"That's a giant relief, we're back!" Walter said and their parents smiled in delighted relief. "The spell snapped, directly after the entirety of the team gets back, both sides together, the spell broke mom, it worked, just 4 to 5 is not enough, we need all of us." Amy said and their parents nodded sternly. "So both versions of sextet, and you three are the one ranger to 2 sextets, baby." Oliver said and she and Frank nodded gently then.
"And it's game over, but honey, I meant that with my losing my concentration, so coming home." she said and he smiled and hugged her in delight then. "So you were saying 1), our connection is though wonderful you can feel us in your head and heart. And all the time, on the other, it's scaring you to death right now, 2) we were friends. And long before we became a couple and 3) get Jason, and he can man the armor now."
"Putting us back at totally equal again." he said gently then and she nodded smiling then gently. "That's it, Mighty Morphin or Ninjetti, we'll never be defeated by them, because love and friendship conquers all. We always knew that, but as Lewis said, cold, cruel at times, but might just save your life. There's the power of love, love and friendship, we never gave up before, why start now." Yost said to this smiling gently at the response.
"Thanks for hearing me out guys, Tanya, I appreciate this." she said and the quartet smiled. "Anything for you, our crane and sister now." Bosch said, smiling, as she hugged them as Karen stood next to them. "But Ninjetti, or the Mighty Morphin now, we will never be defeated, as the song stated, here now. But Katherine just who the heck are you kidding, you did something that nearly destroyed us." Cardenas said to her sternly.
"Agreed, love can be cruel sometimes, but it just might save your life, and there's the power of love and friendship, it's the divide and conquer spell, they put on us. After we gained these powers, before another divide and conquer, in a fake break up. And neither of you would, why would you just throw your relationship away exactly. That doesn't make sense, and Billy and I knew that." Cardenas said smiling and they nodded.
"But yeah, two teams and we're the one ranger in both teams, but we're nine now." she said and he nodded smiling as he hugged her tightly. "Yeah the bond was always strong between us, we knew this all too well is when you start fighting. Is best stay to stay out of it here, and there it right now, but come on that was ridiculous. As I never seen you like this before, during the elections." He said and she and Frank smiled gently then.
"Get the 9 of us back together and now we're acting like we had, before they thought they won, in both versions, what just happened?" he asked and she nodded. "Just 3, the connection's not enough to shove aside the possible spell, but all 6 of us. In both versions, just broke the spell, it's the shark all over again guys." Austin said and Yost nodded sternly agreement then, as he swung his arm to the quintet and they nodded then.
As they surrounded them then, as he looked between his friends and then said it firmly. "Said is preventing it from attacking us, but two of us enough is not enough, 4 of us now. Not enough either, we needed the girls here, for the spell to crack fully here guys. So all of us here, leaving only Adam, Rocky and Tommy, but the girls and I get back. Finally now and the spell breaks immediately, our powers now." Yost said to him then, smiling.
"Friends and we're each other's family, why else would that one become an integral part of our lives together." she said, pulling out the picture of them and Frank in their old uniforms, before a second of them dressed in their robes and with the trio. And he smiled in affection, as the 9 of them stood together, remembering that gently then. And with it then, in remembering everything they had gone through over the last 4 years as they looked at them.
"Look at the moment, the truth was always misunderstood here, and it's because right now, we been blindsided here, we knew the truth. But the chance it could be a lie here right now is it, but really what's considered truth, is really a lie now. We know this, true we're Katherine's friends, but we were your friends first right now. And knew you far longer then we knew her now, we know you're not the type." Frank said to her then.
"To answer your question Aisha, the fog just cleared in my head, Kim, Jason?" he asked and they both nodded. "If we been paying closer attention, we'd realize that spell matches the love triangle spell we had when you were still green, man." Austin said and he nodded. "Third time's the charm and we just caught her in the act, we win again." Walter snapped to that quickly, slamming his hand on the table, remembering their version.
"So the powers are alive, it's not simply powers, but what we been taught, buried deep inside. There is an animal spirit waiting to be released, close down and look deep inside." She said and they closed their eyes looking for Jesse and Tobin, before with several zaps, they heard several snaps as a burst of fireworks exploded out of him. And Yost, Cardenas and Bosch and in their original colors, and the trio appeared in their real color and smiled the .
"That's it, we're back, god I never felt better, my body feels totally energized again finally." Cardenas said smiling and Yost nodded smiling in delighted relief at that. "Yeah and now the question here, did changing colors take away everything that came with it. Answer it didn't: but a little soul searching, we know we been had, but she just caught us blindsided, but times up, now that the entire team is back in one piece finally."
"What is causing a case of thinking rationally here, is the fact now that I got blasted and a fight to the death with my brother and best friend, as his alter ego." Frank said and Austin smiled at the title, knowing immediately he meant himself. "I'm glad you still think of me that way, but don't worry, nothing happened here. Although our alter egos found each other highly attractive, nothing happened." he said and Frank nodded in relief.
"She and I were having a case of brother/sister time together, in the Miami beach and we got kidnapped, we were coming to tell you we brought back the entire team. And with it, to help out with the shelter, and if need be, if one of the guys needed a fast. Now, in replacements, I was ready to take over, but before we could do that now, we got kidnapped and her primary thought, was she wished we could still morph here."
"But she managed to escape briefly, before getting captured a second time, and she changed me into a black robe, before I saw her, she saw me. And I knew, if she wasn't furious before, she is now, after 3 close calls in 6 months and me twice." he said and Frank nodded in fury at that news. "Oh boy, no wonder her eyes were flashing red right now, her self destructive tendencies had now been activated, she's grieving here."
"And secondly she's furious Kat moved in on you, Tommy, hence her remark, she had no friends, she forgave me, as I didn't have all the information. She and you, you needed a chance to patch this up, Justin and Tanya now, in truth. Had nothing to do with this, to her Kat is Scorpina, only she's far more powerful here. In having the powers longer here now." Bosch said sternly at that news and Frank crossed his arms then.
"Agreed, if we brought her back the second the duo escaped on Mondo's arrival, she gets the zeo powers, and we had 5 of the 6 of us here. Kat joins the rankings of the girls, Curt, Richie and the trio, a stand by ranger now. As Tanya is added to the team, Kim's living with you, before Jason also came back. So 6 rangers and we get our 7th back, before passing the powers back to Trey." Cardenas said in agreement as she smiled.
"Yeah 5 of 6 of us, and instead of Kim, it becomes Katherine in truth, that gets captured with Jason. And after he lost the gold ranger powers, as a result at the moment, if we recalled her immediately. We have 7 rangers here, Kat's a stand by ranger, just like the girls, Walter and I are now. That either way we had enough power to fight and this would never have happened." Yost said and Frank nodded, his eyes stern.
"Uh huh, that would have worked better, Kat barely knows all the ins and out with the powers, she barely knows the spells, or the dangers. And the fact she nearly killed her stealing the power coin, that says if that idea had worked, it's a wonder now. That the crystal never killed her, as she returned on the second they destroyed the center. Before center became chamber now, at the time." Karen said sternly in agreement then.
"Uh huh, and I don't blame her right now at the current moment, once the entire team is assembled, is it's as nothing's changed. Baby brother, her going after Katherine was a case of traitor status, on Katherine's part. She did something no friend, true friend, if you're a girl, should ever do, if a letter like this arrives. Only you, buddy, ended up in the middle, but this is them as I know them." he said and Blake looked at him gently.
"They're my family, this is Zack Taylor, Trini Kwan and Billy Cranston, they're my original unit, when Rita chose me, before she and Zedd joined together. And her entire family arrived, in order to protect Kimberly, I sent her away to Miami now. Had I known where the decision would lead to, I never would have done that. Only now, time passes as it changes, you're young, you'll learn." he said and he nodded to that.
"She's my girlfriend that letter was meant to say we still had that years upgrade and though the power coins are destroyed. Our animals are distracting her, secondly she found her brother, that's big half brother now. While 3rd is we should drop back to when I took on my second tenure as the green. Before we found the guys and Aisha and finally now, the golden armor should go to Jason." he said and the preteen nodded.
"Whoa what just happened here, as your attitude took a 180, Tommy?" Blake said sharply and he froze at that. "The spell is broken, and now I'm thinking clearly, the long term side effects, of fighting without the helmet on. She said, I'm Divatox's worst nightmare, the reason is because no one could defeat me. As once the team broke the spell on me, instead of 5 it became 6, and extra power, Kim and Jason are my friends."
"I meant that, she's my girlfriend and he became my best friend and equal, but I'm not sure what connection Tanya had to them. If she latched onto Jason directly after he came back, though if she and he went to his father. He, Mei, Peter and Nathan explained it to her and the realization that though 8 years older then we were. When she left for Kenya now, it slammed back into place, so he's dressed finally now."
"And in the dark cranberry red version of my robes here, as there's the connection, my true friends are them, and the guys, and Billy. But it could be familial connections, in another time and place, she was mom's yellow. And she and Mei spotted turns, before Janet arrived and came into the picture. 3 years ago. Just after I got the courage, when still green to ask her out, she and I became one, when together, we're like one."
"Our parents knew the writing was on the wall, I did anything I could, in order to make her happy now. Mom is Carrie, she's my mother in law, I swore to protect her, but after Zedd stole her power coin, I had to get her. That's Kim out of town, she was telling me she was coming home, now that the Gruesome twosome are gone. It's safe to come back, as 1 by one, my team unit came back." he said and they smiled in delight.
"She and I got a few things to fix, but otherwise we're okay, it's as the song went, and the female lead said, start acting like someone else. That you become the person entirely, but she wanted to remember us now. But not like this, not like this, she and I had a few things to hash out, but our decision to take a step back. And give it a second chance, is better this way, and we come back even stronger." he said and they smiled.
"Tommy, just so you know, is I heard Divatox calling Rita in about how to destroy us, the consideration formed, after she said. That if she knew that, would she and Zedd be in hiding right now, she also gave her one big piece of advice. And that was to run right now, as just going after the soulmate of either of you is concerned. That she just turned Draco, or Fire', on herself, and Rita knew this, so draw your conclusions."
"After we stopped Mondo and Trey took his powers back, before I retired a second time, as twice with you, and going on once with me and Kimberly." Austin said and his eyes narrowed at that as he looked at Catherine then. "If she knew how to destroy us, would they be in hiding right now, uh huh. Yeah and the smart thing to do here, before I showed her I meant business is to run, right now." he said sternly to this news then.
