A/N: Here is Chapter 3!

Sunyshore City 4024…

Schiff clenched his fists as he smacked his hands on the desk, "Who ordered the Time Jets to be sent out?"

Shawn turned around as he looked at Schiff. Jace looked at Shawn as Schiff turned to him, "Guys, I don't know who did it… but I want to know who sent the ships."

Shawn sighed as he placed his Sunyshore Badge on the desk, "It was me, sir."

"Why… did you do it?" asked Schiff.

Shawn turned around as he looked at Schiff, sitting down as he looked at him, "Setsuna was my partner. We owe her. I understand that she made a grave mistake unlocking those morphers, but sir, now Capone is unleashing criminals that even the normal police can't fight."

"He's right. Greevey did the right thing," Jace said, "We broke the law, but what would you do?"

Schiff was very silent as he looked at them. Jace and Shawn looked at each other as Schiff threw his digital folders across. Schiff shook his head as the two looked at his face. He was full of anger, "Who made you leader? You need to consult with me, first."

His anger filled the whole office. As he calmed, he walked toward them, "We will let them use the zords because now things have gotten crazy. You two, though, now that we have established contact, are to monitor their moves. Help them get those criminals. It's enough history was altered… we don't need more."

"Yes, sir," said Jace, "Come on, Shawn."

Jace turned around as he went to leave with Shawn. Shawn sighed as he walked away, closing the door behind him. Shawn was walking down the hallway as he turned to Jace. Jace grabbed the Sunyshore Badge that he placed as Shawn carried it. As they went down the escalator, Shawn shook his head, "Great, now we're watching her."

"You did the right thing. If you didn't, Razor Fang would have blown up the town," said Jace, "Besides, those four from the past don't know what they are dealing with. We're going to have to help."

"Within Schiff's orders… what if we design something that they are going to need? We can't override him," said Shawn, "There's something about him anyway that makes my skin crawl."

Chapter 3: Race Car Robbery

Setsuna rolled her eyes as she turned to Stacy, who was currently moving into the Sunyshore Lighthouse. The past few days have been rough, trying to adjust with what's going on. The red ranger just couldn't believe how long it was going to be for the pink ranger to get her act together, despite being an ex-Team Rocket member. As she went to open up one of the doors at the lighthouse, she was already annoyed that Stacy had one of the bigger rooms.

"Are you joking right now?" asked Setsuna.

"Well, I need to have room," said Stacy, turning to the red ranger.

"I have more equipment," said Setsuna, pointing to the five suitcases, Hoot and a grey closet. The rangers purchased the closet to place their criminals in once they were captured. Stacy rolled her eyes as she looked at her, "Give me some slack."

"No, I'm the leader and get the heck out!"

As the two were arguing, Hoot was flapping forward as he sat down, looking at Mason and Xavier who were carrying a white couch to the main room. As they dropped the couch, Mason looked up, overhearing the argument, "Looks like they can't stop arguing."

"It's been like this all morning," said Hoot, "Over a room."

Xavier shrugged as he turned to Mason, "Maybe it's best that Stacy stayed with you."

"She didn't want to work at my restaurant," Mason said, "I told her she could stay, but she needed to work."

As the two were arguing, Carl walked down the stairs as he was looking at the two rangers, "Jeez, the arguing continues?"

Carl walked over to open the door. He froze as he saw Stacy and Setsuna wrestling around the room. Mason and Xavier went to go break it up, but Carl tried to stop them. As the three of them were now in a scuffle, the five of them collapsed into each other. Xavier looked up as he smacked his head on the floor, "Carl… what the hell?"

"You don't break up a Meowth fight," said Carl.

"We weren't fighting," said Stacy, "It was just a misunderstanding."

"Get off me…," said Setsuna, punching Mason in the face. Mason grumbled as he smacked his head on the ground.

Capone's Lair…

Satfrax grinned as he was happily walking over toward the criminal chamber. After what went on, Persira and Capone needed a new accomplice to fight. Satfrax reached over, grabbing another capsule as he went toward the decompression chamber. Cyrus was standing by the station as he looked at Capone. Capone walked over as he looked at him, "So, did you figure out what made Razor Fang so big?"

"Yes… apparently when they freeze compress, they get a purple patch. It's a side effect. When that gets removed, they grow. However, it only happens when they are normal sized."

Capone grinned as he looked at what Satfrax was doing, "That would be fantastic, but do they shrink back?"

"… Sadly, no," said Cyrus.

Capone slammed his fist, "Damn. Rip the patch off, make them grow. I am assuming they would have to be frozen to shrink back… lovely."

Satfrax turned around as he looked at them, "Cyrus, Boss… we are ready."

"Do it," Capone ordered. Cyrus nodded as he pressed the button. As the doors closed, a blue aura surrounded the machine as the engines started heating the capsule. As the capsule exploded, a humanoid creature appeared. He had Tentacruel features, but his head had a huge jellyfish, similar to the Tentacruel. His eyes were green and he had Tangela like arms. He grinned as he looked at him.

"Ah, Crueless… so nice to see you!" shouted Capone.

"Ah, Boss… thanks for freeing me," he said, "Where are those officers?"

"Um…," said Capone, "2,000 years in the future. We're in the past and I need your help."

"Help?" asked Crueless.

Capone hopped over as he walked toward Crueless, putting his arm around his back, "I know you are the number one criminal for grand theft auto. These cars are easier to steal."

"Exactly. If we can steal the cars around the city, we can modify for weapons of destruction," said Satfrax.

Persira grinned as she turned to them, "We can sell them for cash. And then any criminal can give those stolen cars a huge joyride."

"As long as they work for us," said Capone, grinning as he turned to Crueless, "Are you in?"

"I'll get you your cars," said Crueless, grinning with a smile, "Grand theft auto is my calling card."

Sunyshore Lighthouse…

Stacy and Setsuna were on two laptops at the table. Both were not talking to each other as they were looking at the computers. Stacy rolled her eyes as she looked at Setsuna, "This is annoying."

"At least you can find a job in this century," said Setsuna, searching the web.

"At least you don't have a criminal record," Stacy muttered.

Setsuna darted her eyes and then shook her head as she went to examine what was going on. After learning, money was needed, this was going to be a rough transition. They have learned that the other three rangers have side jobs besides being Pokémon Trainers. Xavier worked as a driver through a company known as "Ride", where he was basically a taxi driver. Mason is the manager of his restaurant and Carl worked in the store, "You Break, I Fix", where he fixed broken devices from Pokémon Trainers. Setsuna turned as she looked at the computer screen, "Why don't I just become a Private Investigator?"

"That requires you to get a license," said Stacy.

"I can pass without a problem," she said, turning to the pink ranger, "Watch me."

"You need to pay for the licensing exams," Stacy said, turning to her. Setsuna turned around as she looked at her, "For someone that was in jail, you seem to know a lot."

"Well, that's what you get when you study with Team Rocket operatives," Stacy responded, turning to Setsuna, "Some of them were detectives… but chose to join them."

"Why would they do that?" Setsuna asked.

"Simple. Kanto Police Departments weren't making enough… if that makes sense," said Stacy.

Setsuna slammed her computer down as she looked at Stacy, "You know with me solving cases and your knowledge, why don't we just work together to solve cases? Plus capturing Capone on the side?"

"I have to get a license and remember… I have a criminal record," said Stacy, reminding her. Setsuna grinned, "Well, I am sure someone can be of help."

Setsuna looked up as Hoot turned to her. Hoot shook his head as he floated over, pecking Setsuna, "I will do no such thing!"

Sunyshore City Police Department….

"So, Benny… I was thinking in my head about that stolen Pokémon case," one detective said as he was walking down the street. He had a black suit and blue dress shirt with a red tie. He had black hair with tan skin and ruby eyes. His black hair was shortened with tips at the end, "Maybe he didn't steal that Slowpoke."

"Rey… let's be real. If he didn't steal that Slowpoke, who? That witness lied to us," the older detective said. He had a grey suit with a white shirt and red tie. He had brown hair with some grey. He also had blue eyes as he wore his Sunyshore City badge, "Come on, I am sure the Lieutenant might be…"

As he froze mid-sentence, the two detectives froze, noticing Crueless appearing. Crueless laughed as he jumped on top of the detective's car, which was a red Ferrari. Blue lightning bolts surrounded the cars as Crueless drove away. Rey turned around as he went to pull out his gun, but Ben grabbed him by the wrist, "Not my car! I won that at the Game Corner."

"It seems like your winnings went up in smoke," he said, turning to see the car drive away, "Let's go."

Sunyshore Lighthouse…

The door opened as Xavier walked toward the lobby. He had his run and then went for a shower. As he walked toward them, he was now dressed in a blue short-sleeved T-shirt with a Poké Ball on it with black jeans. He also had white and blue sneakers as he turned to them, "So, how did the job search go?"

Stacy and Setsuna turned around as they grinned, "We'll open a Private Investigator business."

"Private Investigator?" asked Xavier, turning to Stacy, "She has a criminal record."

"So? I am sure we can get that expunged," said Setsuna.

Xavier laughed as he looked at her, "Setsuna, you have been in police work for two years, you know."

Stacy grumbled as Xavier grinned, "But… what if she was your assistant to help you with the cases? She can't solve them but could help."

Stacy looked up as he turned to Setsuna. She stood up from the couch as she looked at him, "Are you trying to tell me because I worked for Team Rocket, I shouldn't be a private investigator?"

"No… but if you send in your license application to the region, they are going to decline the application," Xavier said, "This includes Pokémon cases too."

Stacy walked over as she slammed her fist on the table. She stepped forward as she looked at those two, "You know, being a Team Rocket member wasn't easy. When I served my time, I told them that I would change for the better and that's why I chose to leave Kanto. My past doesn't define me nor should a piece of paper!"

Xavier fell silent as Setsuna looked at her. Stacy grumbled as she looked at him, "You just wouldn't understand!"

"Understand what?"

Stacy rolled her eyes as she heard Carl's voice. She shook her head as she went to walk away, only for Carl to interrupt, "Stacy, you might want to stay. I have to report a robbery."

"Robbery?" asked Setsuna.

"Turn on the television," the green ranger replied. Setsuna walked over as she reached for the remote. As she pressed the power button, there was a reporter on the screen.

"Hi, yeah there has been a high amount grand theft auto cases located in the Sunyshore City precinct the past hour. Rey Curtis and Ben Briscoe were on the scene when their patrol car was stolen by an unknown monster."

"Unknown monster?" asked Stacy.

Hoot flapped as he landed on Setsuna's work computer. As the feet connected to the screen, the rangers turned around as a screen appeared. The rangers noticed Crueless on the screen. Carl shook his head as he looked at him, "Crueless?"

"Yes, Auto Thief Crueless," said Hoot.

Setsuna pressed a few buttons as she looked at the readout, "He was arrested for grand theft auto all over the Sinnoh Region and was sentenced to 100 years of freeze compression for the counts. He has metallic armor, so his tentacles can fuse with anything."

"So, it lands on a car and absorbs the energy," said Xavier, looking at the team, "And then steals the car without getting inside."

"Correct," said Setsuna.

Stacy shook her head, "So, how do we get rid of this guy?"

"It gets better," said Setsuna, looking at the readout, "Apparently, just now… A police officer's car just landed at the bank."

Xavier turned around as he looked at the screen. He gulped as he saw the Centuroids grabbing the boxes of cash with Persira. Persira grinned as she grabbed the cases and threw them in the car, "Drive!"

"So…," said Carl, turning to the team, "What's the charge now?"

"Simple," Setsuna replied, "Four counts: Time Travel law, Grand Larceny, Grand Theft Auto and Robbery. Carl, can you see what banks were hit prior to what we saw if there were any? Look for any tracers in that car."

Carl nodded as he looked at Hoot, "I can try my best."

"I'll guide you," said Hoot.

"Xavier, call Mason, tell him to meet us here," said Setsuna, "Stacy, you, and Xavier are going to get ready…"

"For what?" asked Stacy.

"You and Xavier are going to be doing this operation together. Carl will trace the rest with Mason, and I will be there on watch. All we need is an armored car," said Setsuna.

"You can't be serious," Stacy said. Setsuna looked up as she climbed off the couch on her two feet, "Stacy Jones, now is not the time for insults. Even though your past doesn't define, you are now a Time Force officer. As leader of Time Force, you need to follow the orders… do you understand? We need to catch this criminal."

Stacy sighed as she looked at Xavier, who was already on his Pokétch, calling Mason. She sighed as she looked at Setsuna, "Fine."

Sunyshore Security Bank…

Setsuna, Carl and Mason were walking down the street. As they were heading toward a black and white armored car, the three of them were wearing dark blue police suits with the correct weapons. As they walked over, they placed their hats on. Setsuna walked over as she turned to open the door. Carl looked at the vehicle as the three got in. Mason looked at her, "How did you manage to swing this?"

Setsuna grinned as she withdrew a makeshift Sunyshore City PD badge from their time, "I just said that I was assigned to catch the criminal and we needed the armored car."

Carl sighed as he opened his laptop from the car, "Way to go. Alright, we're in."

"Stacy, Xavier… are you ready?"

"We are ready?" asked Xavier, raising his morpher. Stacy nodded as she shook her head. Stacy reached for her morpher, "Just waiting on Crueless."

The two of them were now sitting in a purple convertible with blue and yellow highlights. The rangers sat down as Xavier turned to Stacy, who was silent, "Sorry for insulting you."

"… Let's just get this criminal and we can talk later," Stacy replied, "Setsuna's right, we're now Time Force officers. We must do what's best to catch Capone's criminals."

Xavier slumbered as he looked at his morpher, "So, let's be real. Where's the actual cash."

Setsuna grinned as she turned around, "You have it."

"So… that means," said Stacy.

"Correct!" said Setsuna, "Even though we're on stakeout, Crueless will attack this car first. It's more obvious."

"When Crueless attacks here, you guys drive as fast you can," said Carl.

"Well, I think it's makes sense to start driving," said Xavier, "We don't want to be too suspicious."

"Good point. We'll hang out here," Setsuna replied.

Xavier turned around as he looked at Stacy, starting the car as it drove away from the location. Stacy sighed as she leaned her head on her right arm. As the two sat in silence, Crueless was sitting on the rooftop. He laughed as he turned to a few Centuroids who had a golden device. He had a black headset as he was looking at them. He moved the detective's car to an undisclosed location in betweeN but was watching the armored car for a while now, seeing them. Crueless laughed as he lifted his headset, "So, they set a trap for me?"

One of the Centuriods walked over, with a green device. Crueless turned around, "You fool! You were supposed to keep it on there."

"I know," said one of them, "But, Capone said to move in. He heard enough."

"Ah, so he was listening too. Let's do this!"

A blue electric wave surrounded Crueless as he jumped off the building, landing on top of Xavier's car. A blue electric wave surrounded the system, shutting off the battery and engine. Jumping up, Crueless turned around as he looked at them. Stacy and Xavier got out of the car as Crueless laughed.

"Pleasure to see you… I know what you are planning, now hand over the cash," he said.

"Over my dead body," said Xavier.

"Centuroids!"

The Centuroids started marching toward them. Stacy and Xavier grabbed their silver blasters. Pulling the trigger, the Centuroids smashed to the ground. Stacy used a spinning hook kick, knocking the Centuroid down. She then turned around as she aimed her weapon, shooting the Centuroid down. Xavier grabbed one and threw it across, knocking the Centuroid into a pile. Xavier and Stacy jumped back in the car.

"Let me drive," she said.

"But," said Xavier, getting in the driver's seat. Without arguing, Xavier and Stacy switched spots before Crueless hopped over. Stacy started the car and went in reverse, causing Crueless to smack his face on the dirt pavement. Stacy pressed the gas pedal, increasing speed as she was getting away from the battle.

"Get me that detective's car!" he shouted.

Route 222…

As Stacy drove out of Sunyshore City, Stacy took a huge breath as she went to communicate with Setsuna, "All going according to plan."

"Yup," said Carl, "We did get the bug in the car analyzed. Somehow, Capone must tag the cars he wants and automatically knows where they are going to be, that explains a lot. Where are you?"

"Simple. Out of Sunyshore. Granted, Crueless can come at any time," Stacy replied.

"Okay, once we're done, we'll come find you," Setsuna said in her response. As the communications ended, Stacy turned around as she drove to the coast, pulling in the parking lot. Stacy took a deep breath as she turned to Xavier.

"How did you drive like that?" he asked.

Stacy sighed as she turned to the windshield. She saw the ocean touching the beach as she turned to him, "When I was in Team Rocket, I was always the getaway driver. I learned a lot about driving at high speeds, escaping in time for the police."

"Now, I did some race car driving, but not as much as you," Xavier responded.

"Really?" asked Stacy.

"I did some racing in Hoenn once. I stopped because I got into a bad accident at the Lilycove 500," he said, "Told my parents I would never do it again. So, how did you end up in jail?"

Stacy took a deep breath, "We were in Vermillion City doing an operation. Proton wanted to steal some of the Diglett for an experiment on Pokémon militia."

"Militia?" asked Xavier.

Stacy nodded, "You see, when Team Magma and Team Aqua were battling the Hoenn Rangers over control of a crown that could control Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza, Proton was inspired. He wanted to do whatever it took to make sure that he had an army to defeat Kanto. Team Rocket wasn't well equipped on that subject. But, it was orders. Two years ago, we caught Diglett near Diglett's Cave and we brought it to our operation vehicles. I felt personally that we shouldn't be mutating Pokémon or even humans to become like what Team Magma and Team Aqua were. However, I was caught by a detective. Detective Reynaldo Curtis of the Saffron City Precinct to be exact."

"Saffron City Precinct? But, that's out of his jurisdiction though," said Xavier.

"Well, the operation leaked in Saffron City, so that's how he was able to join the forces to stop what Team Rocket was doing. He caught me and threw me in jail. I was sentenced to technically five years for charges that inflicted Pokémon harm and human. But, I didn't commit those crimes. I was just there as an accomplice. I realized how much I missed as a human being and I missed my Pokémon so much. I had no family, so they were taken to a friend and the Pokémon visited me from time to time. So I made a change and I got myself the help I needed to help others and I was let out on parole. I couldn't start my life back in Kanto anymore and that's why I was here. I knew stealing wasn't the best thing, but Xavier I had no one."

Xavier looked down at the dashboard as he grabbed her hand. Stacy looked up as he turned to her, "You do now."

Stacy grinned as she looked at the windshield. Explosions appeared around her as Stacy started the car. Driving on the mound, Crueless was driving a red Ferrari. As Stacy was driving around the beach, she went up the hill as she looked up, noticing seven other cars.

"Looks like we got some cars," said Stacy.

"Yeah," said Xavier, "It's too good to be true. He's hiding them here."

Pulling over, the engine stopped as Crueless rammed the car into Xavier's. Xavier's car spun as it flipped over, but landed on its wheels. Xavier freaked out as Crueless hopped off.

"Now, take this!"

Blue electric bolts struck them as they landed on the ground. Carefully, Xavier swung his fist across, only for the tentacles to smack him down. As he went to swing his tentacles, Stacy leapt over as she was hit hard. Xavier looked at her, "Get off me!"

"I will take the hit!" she shouted.

"Ah, sacrifices are fun aren't they!" he said, "Give me the cash!"

Grabbing Stacy with his blue tentacles around the neck, Xavier looked at her as Crueless grinned. The Centuroids arrived as they aimed their weapons.

"Get the cash or she dies!"

As he walked over, he went to grab the keys as he opened the trunk. As he did, the Centuroids looked up as they freaked out. The trunk was empty.

"The trunk is empty!" said one of them.

"EMPTY?" he asked.

Xavier laughed as he closed the trunk, "We caught you in our trap."

"What do you mean?"

Suddenly, red, green and yellow bursts of energy appeared, shooting Crueless. Stacy was released as she rushed over. Stacy laughed as she turned to Setsuna, who had her Vortex Blaster in hand. It was a white, black and red blaster with fire symbol designs on it. There was also a scope attached to it.

"Time Force!"

"Crueless, we knew about your bug in the armored car," said Carl, "So, we switched the money back in the armored car before you showed up."

"The money was already delivered to all the banks," said Mason, grinning, "We knew exactly which bank you hit, what money was stolen."

"Not to mention," said Setsuna, "We did make an anonymous call to Sunyshore PD. We know that all of those cars have cash in them."

Crueless turned around as Xavier went to open one of them. He grinned as he looked at the dollar bills, "Look at all of that green paper!"

"You little…," said Crueless.

Stacy laughed as Xavier dashed over to meet the others. Stacy shook her head as she turned around, "Let's face it, Crueless. You're finished, thanks to these guys."

Crueless turned to look at Stacy, "Wait… that means…"

"Stacy, I think he's finally catching on," said Xavier, shaking his head, "You're under arrest."

Stacy and Xavier formed an X with their arms, the morphers facing the enemy. Both rangers 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 sand. Crueless freaked out, "How do ordinary humans have that power? What?"

"Time Force Pink!"

"… Blue!"

"… Yellow!"

"… Green!"

"Red!"

"Time Force!"

Stacy revealed her Time Force Badge, a silver and black badge with a silver triangle on top with a blue jewel, resembling the Adamant Orb, "Crueless, you're under arrest for multiple accounts of crimes and time travel violations."

"You're going to have to kill me first. Centuroids!"

Centuroids started jumping up and down as they were heading toward the group. Stacy and Xavier pressed a few buttons.

"Chrono Access!"

Finding the sword option, blue and pink auras surrounded their morphers as their Vector Sabers arrived, "Vector Sabers!"

The Centuroids went straight for the rangers. Mason jumped up was he turned around, landing on the dune. Pulling the trigger, yellow beams of energy arrived, shooting the Centuroids and having them land on the ground. Flipping forward, he pulled more beams of energy.

Stacy slashed a few Centuroids across as she turned around to see more. She grinned as she touched her blade, a pink aura of energy surrounded it, "Build Up! Psycho Cut!"

Turning around, pink energy surrounded the Centuroids as they spun around. Green sparks surrounded them as they fell to the ground, exploding. Stacy spun around as she stretched out her arms with her blades.

Xavier slashed a few as he turned around, destroying a few Centuroids. As they landed on the ground, Xavier grabbed his Vector Saber, channeling blue energy from his blade, "Build Up! Water Pulse!"

Striking, a blast of water emerged as a line of Centuroids landed on the ground. Explosions occurred as they landed on the ground.

Next, Setsuna and Carl grabbed their weapons as they surrounded the Centuroids. The two rangers circled around, pulling the triggers. Red and green beams struck them as the Centuroids landed on the ground.

Crueless stretched out his tentacles, grabbing Stacy by the neck. Stacy yelled as purple energy struck her from the tentacles. Landing on the ground, Xavier caught her as the tentacles struck. Xavier and Stacy jumped up as they spun across.

"Vortex Hurricane!"

Spinning around, Crueless yelled as they spun around, landing on the ground. Xavier slashed the creature across, causing Crueless to spin around in dizziness. Stacy dashed over with her Vector Saber, "Vector Hurley!"

Pink energy beam pierced Crueless as he landed on the ground.

"Let's do it!" Stacy shouted. Xavier nodded as he took out his Vector Sabers. A blue aura surrounded both Vector Sabers. He headed for his opponent as he jumped up. A black background appeared with blue blades stretched out, "Time Strike: Diagonal Cross!"

Two blue lines, shaped like an X, went across Crueless. As Crueless started to stumble, Stacy jumped up, landing on Xavier and then up in the air. 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 Crueless as she landed on the ground. Crueless yelled as he continued stumbling. As the rangers turned to each other, Hoot's voice could be heard.

"Stacy, Xavier: Activate your Vortex Weapons. Rangers, combine them and we can freeze Crueless right away!"

"Downloading information," said Setsuna.

In each of the ranger's visors, the rangers were watching how all five weapons could combine. A green flash appeared as it said 'Download Complete' in yellow letters.

Stacy and Xavier reached for their morphers, "Chrono Access!"

Pressing the buttons, two blasters materialized on to the ground. Stacy's weapon was similar to the other three. It was a mega-sized white, pink and black striped blaster appeared as Stacy carried. It had a green scope and silver nozzle at the end with psychic designs. Xavier's weapon was a blaster that had white, blue and black stripes. It had a black circular plate with the Time Force design and it had water symbols on top.

"Vortex Sniper!"

"Vortex Launcher!"

"Combine!" shouted Setsuna.

The Vortex Launcher connected on top of the Vortex Sniper. The Vortex Blaster connected to the front of the weapon. The Vortex Vulcan and Vortex Pulsar combined on either side of the blaster, sideways. The Time Force Rangers held it as they aimed for Crueless.

"Vortex Bazooka!"

"Target…," said Stacy.

"Locked On!" shouted Setsuna.

The helmets began to glow as the scope began to arrive in their visors. A crosshair appeared as Crueless went to strike.

"Blizzard Beam!"

Pulling the trigger, a blast of ice energy erupted from the weapon. Swirling across, the blast pierced Crueless. Crueless began to turn into an icicle as he looked at the rangers.

"Not today!" he shouted, ripping the purple patch on its head. A green aura surrounded it as Crueless broke out of the ice formation, becoming a giant. Purple and blue beams struck them as the rangers took cover. As the smoke cleared, Xavier dashed over as he went to the others.

"Wonderful," said Xavier, seeing Crueless. Crueless stretched out his arms, smacking the ground. Explosions occurred as the team landed on the ground. As Xavier and Stacy landed on the ground, Stacy turned around as she reached for her morpher, "Hoot… please!"

"Understood!" Hoot said, over the intercom, "Emergency System, activate!"

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 Time Force Zords were in a linear formation.

"Time Flyer!" shouted Xavier.

The Time Flyer, a white and black jet with a blaster on top, materialized from Xavier's Chrono Morpher, floating over the dock. The five rangers landed on the flyer as they headed straight toward the Time Force Zords. The five rangers jumped down as they landed in their cockpit.

"Let's slow 'em down with Beta Mode…," said Xavier, "Ready, Stace?"

"Gladly," said Stacy, "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. Crueless opened its mouth as purple and pink beams emerged, shooting down the Megazord. The Time Force Megazord jumped up as it went to kick, only for the tentacles to grab it. A purple energy bolt surrounded it as sparks flew across. The rangers yelled as they were hit by the attack.

"Well," said Carl, "So much for Beta…"

"We're not done yet," said Xavier, "Setsuna!"

Setsuna nodded as she turned around, "Change Formation, Alpha Mode!"

A blue aura surrounded the Time Force Megazord as it split back into five jets. In a flash of red light, the jets transformed into their own zords.

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. Crueless went to use its tentacles, only for the Megazord to slash them. Crueless screamed as its tentacles began to fall apart. Crueless jumped up as he went to grab the Time Force Megazord. A blue and purple energy bolt surrounded them as the rangers were holding on.

"He's trying to take over the Megazord system!" Carl said, holding on.

"I won't allow that," said Stacy, "Iron Valiant!"

A pink aura surrounded the Megazord as Iron Valiant appeared. Iron Valiant swung its lance as Crueless was hit. Crueless yelled as sparks flew across.

"Moonblast!" shouted Stacy.

A lavender aura surrounded the staff as it released an energy beam. Crueless was hit as explosions occurred. A pink aura surrounded Iron Valiant, transforming back into the arm.

"It's now or never," Stacy mentioned, turning to Setsuna, "Right!"

Setsuna turned around as she pressed 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.

"Blizzard Strike!"

A teal aura surrounded the Megazord Saber as it slashed Crueless. Upon contact, a yellow and green energy slash surrounded the criminal as he screamed. Crueless froze as Stacy turned to the screen, "Time's up!"

3… 2… 1… FREEZE!

"AHHHHH!"

The screams of Crueless echoed as he landed on the ground, causing an explosion. As the explosions appeared, Crueless began to glow as it shrunk into a miniature. The skies began to brighten as the rangers were looking at the console.

"Case closed!" said Stacy.

The rangers yelled as they were ejected. Morphing out onto the ground, Mason watched as the Time Force Zords headed back into the future. Mason shook his head as he turned to them, "So much for hanging out…"

Turning around, Xavier looked over as he went to see Crueless in a miniature form. Kneeling down, he grabbed the Time Force Badge and aimed it over his body. A blue aura surrounded it as Crueless was now contained. Xavier turned around as he grabbed the capsule, "Well, peeps. That's two!"

Stacy turned around as she looked at Xavier. Xavier grinned as he looked at her, "You do have a detective mindset."

Stacy turned around, not saying a word, "Does that mean you really apologize?"

"Yeah," the blue ranger said, grinning.

Stacy grinned as she turned around, "Good."

"Um…," said Mason, turning around, "Who invited the calvary?"

The rangers turned around to hear sirens in the background. Setsuna turned around as she looked at them. It was Sunyshore Police automatically. She decided it was best to head back, let the police handle it. As the five rangers dashed away from the scene, a black and white car pulled up as Ben and Rey got out of the car. Ben grinned, seeing the cars that were all over the place.

"We hit the jackpot!" said Ben, "And there's my car."

Rey looked up as he turned to see the smoke, smelling it. Kneeling, he noticed a few blast burns, "Looks like there was some blasts, Benny."

Rey turned around as he looked at the tire tracks. He then turned around, seeing the tire tracks up around the area. Dashing up the hill, he walked up to see that the tire tracks were nowhere to be seen.

"Hmm… who was here?" he asked himself, turning around.

In the car, Xavier was in the driver's seat as they headed back to Sunyshore City. As he pressed the gas pedal, continuing to head back to town, Setsuna sat in the front. In the back seat, Stacy, Carl and Mason were looking back as they turned to see the detective.

"We did clean up… right?" asked Mason.

"Eh… if they stop us, we can just say we were passing through," said Stacy. Carl chuckled as he shook his head. Setsuna grinned as she turned to the front, "All I can say is… case closed, guys."

The rangers nodded and shouted with excitement as they drove back to Sunyshore City, heading toward the sunset.

Case File: February 17, 2024

Next… Time Force!

Carl: This is… annoying.

Setsuna: Well, it gets better. Three Pokémon were kidnapped.

Carl: Kidnapped?

Cyrus: …. I remember that day… back in 2008

Mason: Where's Carl?

Xavier: I thought he was here.

Setsuna: I thought he was too.

Stacy: I wonder where he went?

Carl: Let me go!

Cyrus: No way, kid.

Carl: … … Wait, you're Cyrus!

Cyrus: The one and only!

Poké Rangers Time Force Chapter 4: Secrets of Cyrus

A/N: Talk about some character development! This actually would have been an Xavier only storyline, but I figured we need to know what happened to Stacy! She is the second pink ranger at least in the Poké Rangers Fanfiction Series who used to work for Team Rocket. Anyway, I thought this would be a good starter chapter on what could be an awesome season. As you could see, next chapter, we talk about Cyrus... so, how did he get to 4024?

Well, you are just going to have to wait and see! Don't forget to press the review button. Reviews are definitely needed.
