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 21: New Futures And Fresh Starts II: Time's Arrow and Recovery XI
"Back that up to just before movie and then jump to just after the tournament and we go from there." Amy said and they nodded, as it came to the end of the Dear John letter. Watching her arrive at the Youth center, she sees Cathy and Frank dancing and backs into the wall. Just before turning around as the tears start pouring down her face at that, as she turns and heads for the Cranston house, before changing her mind. And heading for the command chamber then.
And finds Yost there as she shaking in anger and pain. "Kim, what's wrong exactly?" he asked her at that and quickly moved to her side then. "Billy it was a lie, the entire letter was a lie." she said and he nodded in shock as he hugged her tightly as her started breaking, realizing the link between her and Frank had snapped and she tried to keep from breaking then. "For a broken hearted man, he seems to be far happier then anyone would expect."
"I was coming to talk to him, and I see him with her, Billy, he's just ripped my heart out. I..., I, god no, no." She said, feeling the link snap as she collapsed the floor. "Tanya, guys get up here, Kim's collapsed, she's here at the command chamber, I mean now, get up here, now." he snapped into his communicator at that. "I told the quartet, and now I just have to tell you, who does she think she is?!" she said and he nodded in fury.
As he crouched on the floor and pulled her into a hug as he rocked her, while holding her tightly. "Not real Billy, it's not real, the letter was a fake, I was really saying we had to cool things down so he could focus, and that's the other reason, 'met someone else', there is no one else, I found my half brother. 'Friend' we were friends long before we became a couple." she said in suppressed sobs at that.
"The link is broken, Rita's won now, the dino rangers and Ninjetti 6 are no more, I got my link to you guys, Aisha and Jason, but the quartet, it's destroyed. The link never quit, every time you get hit, I get hit, I'm conneced to you still. I'm your omega, but he did it finally Billy." she said through her sobs as the trio arrived at that and he nodded as he wrapped his arms around her as she started crying.
"Test of the strength of your relationship, Kim, and with you telling me this first now, that saves us, you tell the boys, Aisha and Tanya?" he asked, pressing his forehead to hers gently and she nodded sternly to the news then. "Yeah telephone tag starting with Rocky, he told Adam, Adam told Tanya, and I told Jason. Before I told Zack that Jessica was still waiting for them to get back, but he told Trini, she and I, we told Aisha now."
"You and Jason chose me and they didn't give me a chance to say it, what happened if she just moved in on him?" she said and he sighed as Cardenas said it then sternly at the news then. "With the fact you arrived now at the moment we we just got back from a mission and monster, so Emily was not worth his time. So Kat tries to cheer him and moves in on him, okay so met someone else, there is no one else."
"And 'brother', get Jason and bring him home, only he could help him focus and recover." He finished for her gently and she nodded as the pain caused her to break at that remark. "Don't leave me guys, please, don't leave me, though I tried to put things on hold with him. You no, I'm never letting you go, but please, I can't take any more losses guys." she said as she tried to hold in it and they nodded to her gently then.
As Yost hugged her as she whispered bit into his ear. "I love you brother, don't leave me, he just did it finally, you remember Jason's overly protectiveness of me. And what he was feeling after he left it was back to us again, you were afraid he'd break my heart. Yes I sent that letter, but it was so he could focus, look again guys?" she said and pulled the letter out of her pocket and gave it to him.
"Alpha decode these if there were hidden underlines and a couple other things on it, because Kat just crossed the line, she came to me now. But back before we met you now, I created a machine and ended up in her body, she in mind. And this was enough I saw everything I needed, but this was just the predecessor to Tommy arriving. But I learned everything that I needed here to understand her in way nobody could here."
"We're linked, for life." he said and she finished it. "There was something else in it, but only you would be able to see it Billy, thermal scanners, everything that was a lie was underlined. But remember when we switched bodies before he joined the team?" she asked and he nodded as he felt his anger growing by the minute. "What's she talking about Billy?" Johnny asked and he explained that to him as he stroked his hand through her hair.
"Just before Tommy joined the team, we accidentally swapped bodies and I quickly saw everything that made her who she was. She saw the same thing, that's why she was testing me when the duo cloned me. And she knows and she knew everything about me and vice versa. Her plan was to get us to double check by running the thermal scanner across it, to see the lies for it now."
"See the lies brought out by heat, and we did chemistry class together before you moved to town." he said and she nodded. "Yeah exactly you're a teenage scientist and engineer, you taught me everything you know about chemicals. Bringing them out by heat Billy, this was for you to see it was all a lie, everything but the remark, regarding my training was a lie, you know as it is."
"Little science touch for anyone in the science department, chemistry lesson Billy, what only needs heat to appear on paper. If you used it to write with you're a scientist, you created the way for us all this time. But remember, when I tested who was who after you got cloned, before Ivan. I did it again, I knew if anyone could see it then you would." she said and he nodded as he said it firmly.
Stroking his hand through her hair, he pressed his forehead to her, as she opened up the link and he saw a bowl full of whitish clear liquid and a old ink pen. And sticking it into the bowl she was drawing lines under several key spots and it hit him automatically. As he remembered being in her body, and seeing into her thinking strategies. He knew what he was seeing as he said the words as he kissed her forehead and said it firmly then.
"Lemon juice, Alpha turn up the heat sensors on the paper, she did it in a way only I would know, she knew I would get her message that letter is a fake. Because I knew her longest out of the team as it is now, but the duo just cut the cord, I don't feel anything between us, but I do between her and me. And me and Jason, but the cord in the dino rangers is cut in two, it's over, the team's gone."
"There's no taking back their words or actions, they destroyed our power team, the original Rangers, the Dino rangers, hang on." he said with a growl as he activated the transporter and four lights in two yellow, red and a black appeared then. "Whoa, alright what's going on exactly, Kim, what's wrong, why are you crying exactly sister?" Austin said sharply as he hugged her tightly and he crossed his arms.
"She just told me the truth, every lie in that letter was underlined, by use of lemon juice Jason, oldest trick in the book for a scientist. Written in lemon juice, once dried and apply heat to it and it brings out the truth, or directions. And she wanted me to run that letter through the thermal scaners I'm doing that right now." he said and Austin nodded as he crossed his arms as they waited as he said it.
"Yeah there's traces of salt and citrus across this letter Jason, but again Kimberly, I know you, too well, this doesn't sound like you at all, you'd never do this unless it wasn't for the fact he lost total focus. He's lost how many martial arts competitions, he's gotten hit how many times in the field and he doesn't get his head back in the game it'll kill him?" Ashley said reading it herself and he and Yost nodded in agreement.
"Yeah that's my point, but both teams are destroyed, because of the him and Kat, and now we have to fix this, but if there's a spell on him. And he never realizes it, it's going to take a massive power blast to break that spell right now. And with that in mind right now at the current moment, is this, but if one spell never worked. This was all a god damn trap, they had to separate them: him from her for the spell to work."
"But Tommy and Kat are Rita's children, she created them, it's finally happened, she won, but it's by the certain members self destructing. The ninjetti are destroyed, her link to him snapped now, as for the other two. That's the other thing, Jason can you feel me and Kim." Yost asked and he quickly dug into his connection and he gave him a nod smiling in relief as he said it to them at that remark.
"Nothing's wrong between you or me guys, the connection is the same as it always was, why, what did they do exactly. Especially if she's this broken hearted and she came to you, Billy, you specifically. Before you called the guys and Tanya here." he said and Yost crossed his arms as the duo felt their hearts start pounding in anger at the news then and at the looks of un-controlled fury on the quintet's faces as he answered him.
"Our power team, the Dino's was destroyed by one action now, never calling to clarify this damn letter is real or not, Jason." Walter said as they heard from Zordon at that. "Yes Zackary you are correct right now, this has several indications the letter. In truth, is a fake right now, along with the obvious, as 1) they never send letters. Since he came home white, 2), why send it to the juice bar, and 3) these are Ranger clues too."
"Your brother, Kimberly." he said and Amy nodded. "You made a promise you two, before you left, you never hurt her, and you remember what you asked us to do now at the time?" Ashley asked and they nodded sternly. "Yeah we remember alright and thanks again, but we finished what we had to do, and we're in Miami with her." Thuy said and they both nodded. "You're welcome guys." she said and he nodded then gently.
"Alright it's clear here that they're under a spell right now, meant to destroy the team, but he never stopped, he still loves her. But if we get captured, it's a case of a fixing the team as we discuss this out of hearing range at the moment. And then a case of explaining this, this was never a break up letter, but rather here. That the coach is bringing it back to Angel Grove, your daughter is still a spy." Austin said to this then.
"If my son is the catalyst for this, and it's keeping him out of the room until she calms down completely right now." James said and Yost nodded. "It's not just him, she saw him with Kat, barely three days and already she moved in on him. She knew I was here and came right to me, and told me, it's a fake." he told them and Andrea nodded in shock at the news as Austin said it to her as she tried to lay against him, as he hugged her to him.
"Calm down, calm down, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, you didn't lose me or Billy, I swear, you didn't lose us. Not losing us Kimmy, never, never ever, it's okay, it's okay." he said as he pulled her into a hug. "Guys, please, don't leave me, I can't take another blow like this, don't leave me." she said falling to floor and he crouched on the floor in front of her as he answered her, pressing his forehead to her softly at that remark.
"Guys, meeting out side, this is urgent right now, and explains why they got to Kim and Jason so easily here, and then we go to the party, but we don't need an audience for this." Yost said and they nodded as they went outside. "We have to talk you two, right now, do you understand why she targeted Katherine or why I barely killed yourself. As you recall your turning last year, you called us rangers weak and pathetic."
"Well look who's talking, pink is out, I have no friends, it's the very same thing. Do you understand why she said that. Well she's pissed at you right now for breaking her heart and I'm pissed you destroyed her. And enough to cause Maligore to get to her and me so easily, broken heart. Kim did the right thing by letting you go, but your mistake is you never bothered to clarify this, Tommy."
"In whether or not that letter was true?" Austin asked and Frank looked at him in shock then. "Just admit it, it wasn't Kat you were seeing that freed you, it was Kim, Tommy, just admit it?" he said with a growl and he shook his head to deny it and Austin nodded. " Oh what, scared to admit the truth, your heart is telling you to bury the hatchet and learn the truth to why she sent you that letter."
"Everybody is always talking at me, everybody is trying to get into my head, I want to listen to my own heart talking, I need to count on myself instead. The answers are all inside of me, all I have to do is believe', think it over. And in why ever since Billy left, he hasn't spoken to you, why the guys are so distant. And from you, why even Tanya was willing to put her life on the line for her."
"And why most of all did she go after Kat." he said said with a growl at them. "What are you talking about Jason, she wrote the letter, you knew about this." Catherine said in shock to his remark. "You want the truth you two, or do want the reason I just barely killed you myself, Tommy. Because if she mattered at all to you, you'd have called?" he asked him firmly and he looked at him in shock.
"She said she met someone else Jason!" he snapped and she shook her head. "You forget something here, we never write letters to each other?" she asked and he looked at her in shock. "Seems kind of strange of why send it to the bar, when Ernie and the Lieutenant were standing there, so why send it there?" she asked and he tried to control the unease in his heart in what she was saying at that remark.
"Oh you were there at the bench, I send it to Ernie who gives it to you, so why is that, if I told the entire team now, the 7 as well. But think it over, what are the acts of a true friend: a true friend would read it over the receivers shoulder. And ask a trusted adult why the sender would write it, ask their parents for their advice, and then contact the sender for a copy of that same letter."
"And a copy of translations." she said and Catherine felt her heart plummet to the floor at that remark, realizing she ignored that and stabbed her in the back. "You are the two bit whore, after everything I ever did for you, you stab me in the back. I should have stayed, or came back after Mondo arrived, to prevent this, but no." she said and looked at him as she said it as though she was talking to an idiot then.
"As for that remark of met someone else, yeah, well why didn't you call me to confirm that, instead of taking it. And at face value, because I told the rest of the quartet after you two left town. To head for the lodge, I told your parents, but 4 words, Tommy, 'back to the beginning' now. You lost how many competitions, you been hurt how many times on the job now, think it over."
"But you're the son of a cop, as a cop you have to stay focused..." she snapped and his eyes widened as he finished that. "Or it's going to kill me and the team with me, what are you saying exactly. That if I bothered to just ignore her, you could have just told me the truth, what truth. You found someone else and tore me apart, she gave me someone to turn to!" he snapped back at her coldly then.
"When I said I met someone else, I was saying I found a friend, but not a friend, he's just like Jason, Tommy, that friend is really a family member. You remember how Jason always acted with me at the time, but do you recall him telling you, now. That at one point I ran to his house over my parents fighting, when we were 7 years old?" she asked and he felt his heart start pounding at that.
"My parents were fighting over the fact he had an affair with a woman by the name of Mary Grayson, Carter's mother. To her, she was telling him either he paid child support, or she was divorcing him, and I heard the word divorce and headed to Jason's. You know, only he and Billy knew about that, I told them everything." she said and he tried to keep from paling at the look on Austin's face.
"Billy and Jason are my trio, of the team, we were raised together from birth, before meeting Zack and Trini as 4 year olds. Little secret Tanya never told you right now, after Tanya told Erica she met me, and Billy and Jason she told us the truth. Our parents were the best of friends when they were our age, so being found by my beta was nice." she told her and she paled at that remark and news.
"Trini and Zack met the guys and me in preschool at the time, which is when our parents told us the truth, they'd been friends for years. So as a result the gang became a team, so the two that took both sides in this. Though they sided with me, are Jason and Billy, my best friends, my brothers. In fact we're triplets, though not blood, doesn't matter, we're adopted triplets to each other."
"Nathan and Preston knew about Carter, and after meeting him myself, I contacted the duo and my mother and got the truth. He is my big brother, my half brother, the other met someone else is Patrick, Aisha's cousin. But they're 19 going on 20, I'm 16 going on 17, so conclusion, Coach forbid fraterizations with guys our age?" she asked and he swallowed hard as he got it, as Austin nodded.
"They're too old for you." he said for him and she nodded to him. "Coach forbid fraterizations with the other boys our age, Carter and Patrick are going on 20. Just answer this, how can I have the time to be dating anyone else, when. On the days you suggested the quintet come along, they declined every time. As they had something else to do." she said and Catherine paled at that remark then.
"No, that can't be..." she said in shock to that. "You were here, Jason always had a smile on his face, the quartet were always in a good mood, before they arrived at the chamber. Then they got down to business, before immediately leaving again and saying they had other plans. And during a get together, it was because you were here?!" Frank shouted in shock then and the duo nodded sternly.
"Mom was praying I'd find Carter, well I did, he's the met someone else, but he's to old for and secondly he is my half brother. Mom and I, we tell each other everything, I contacted her on the letter she said to put things on hold. Just until I finished training and returned home, the Campbell's, Uncle Nathan, the Parks, the Desantoses, even your parents, they all the same thing."
"Long distance relationships never work, to protect this relationship, best to put things on hold. I spoke to the Kwans, the Taylors, your parents Katherine, even the Scotts, the Sloans, the lieutenant, Mrs. Applee, Ernie, my coach. They said the same thing, word for word, I made a choice to save us and you destroyed us yourself." she snapped and they paled at that as he said it and praying he was wrong.
"Before you say it, and I did contact your parents Tommy, and told them the truth of that letter, when you were at the lodge. They agreed that it was necessary, I can only try in the long distance so long, and before I call it quits. But you know what our parents are furious at, the one they're ticked at, right now, is you, for not coming after me, they love me like their daughter.
"After everything I did for her, after everything you and I promised each other, at thr first test of our relationship. You immediately turn to her without double checking that letter and making sure, that letter was a test. A test you failed and to them, and the team, it's you don't deserve me, if you let me go that fast." she said and he paled at that remark and Catherine swallowed hard at that news then.
"They knew all along that despite the fact that the guys, Aisha, and Tanya knew the truth and told you to talk to me. You ignored them and started dating her, so what is that supposed to tell our parents and your's huh what. To them, all it says is that you don't care you ripped my heart out, in fact, it says that you're the one who is just like Ken?" she asked and they swallowed hard at that as she went further.
"We called our parents, your parents, to the Chamber as well, and they got the truth, but you made the biggest mistakes of your life. And as a result it's not me your parents are angry at Tommy, it's you, you decided to not check back and here's the result. The reason for our capture is you, you caused all of this, and as a result, it's you're the one facing criminal charges finally." she said and he swallowed hard at that
Before he could answer, the duo saw his father, Nathan, Erica, Jake and Dillon walk up at that and they paled at that. Before seeing three more people then and Frank felt his heart stop, as Caroline saw herself, Preston and Janet and he knew he was dead at that. "Yeah I'd say that the seven of you all got the exact same phone call, when dad saw the bruises all over my chest and arms." Blake said and Amy's mother nodded in agreement to that remark.
"That and the fact that once Rocky, as the real second in command, as the duo's ranks were now in reverse. He reported the truth of the letter to why that, twice in 2 years, we came close 2 more style attacks along the lines of the original green ranger." Preston said and Cardena nodded as he crossed his arms. "And I would to, you're the army ranger, and this is considered a state of emergency right now." he said and Cardena's father nodded as he rubbed his back at that.
"What are you both doing back?" Catherine asked quickly and Janet crossed her arms then. "We were transferred back to Angel Grove after our business in Paris and Rome was concluded, so did you honestly think she never asked for our advice before sending it at the time?" she asked and he paled at that. "Parental advice was concluded and she took our advice, but why didn't you ask us?" James asked and he swallowed hard.
"You remember, I told you, you should double check, that what she did was the right thing to do, but look at where your choices have lead you. Now, as it has us, your parents beyond furious right now as a result." James told him and before he could answer him, Peter and Mei also arrived and they both paled at that. "Yes, did you honestly think she would never tell us, you made the choice, she did the right thing."
"So why didn't you call back to check on this?" Peter asked him sternly and he swallowed. "In truth there is a little secret that Carrie never told me or Mei, but as she did tell Preston and Nathan, Pierre, he knows that secret as well. But Kimberly contacted us from Florida telling us she found her brother and we were relieved to hear this." Peter said sternly and they paled at the fact their parents were confirming everything she said.
"In fact young man, she told me and I went ahead to confirm to your father regarding this. She said the boys were nearly three year college students, she's still in high school, they're too old for her and secondly. It's he's her brother, it's beyond inappropriate, why the hell didn't you go ahead and ask. Instead of just assuming, because this is beyond cruel right now?"Caroline told him and Pierre nodded sternly.
"She's right young man, just who the hell do think you are right now, I gave you a chance." Pierre said with a growl and he swallowed hard at that. "Papa, I wasn't expecting you and mom to come by the arena." Amy said and she nodded. "And now it's dead man walking here, because she did the one thing no friend is supposed to do. If they're a girl and said is ignore the evidence and move in on the friend's boyfriend." Austin said sternly to this.
"Excuse me Katherine, but the one in the wrong is you, that was never a break up letter, I said that the Coach is bringing it home right now." She said and she went white in fear then as Frank stood there in shock and fear as James was standing there sternly. "Doug was wondering why there was a ton of bruises all over Justin's chest. And till I realized it matched one thing and it was I saw this on you for two years straight."
"Before I left town when your father was transferred at the time, Janet told me what happened this time. But to her and Brandon they were scared out of their minds right now when you ended up back in the hospital. So let me get this straight, you and Jason were coming home to tell them the truth. Said truth is that the letter was a fake, you found your brother, and he was the met someone else now."
"Aisha, Adam, Rocky and Tanya, knew this truth and you saw Jason and Billy and told them the truth. Billy told you he wasn't choosing sides and didn't need to, you were all that mattered to him and Jason said the same thing?" she asked and she nodded. "But Zack and Trini threw the fact that they knew you longer then they knew him out and took sides. And said you were like Ken, who was cheating on me."
"With Mary Grayson, and then followed that up with reminding you of a near rape, and by Anderson?" she asked and Amy nodded and her parents both nodded to her as Caroline pulled her into a hug. "And the day that Bulk was harassing me, before he came to save me from this, but come on, I did what you told me. I was just following your advice and they shun me, so what did I ever do them, but do what you suggested to me."
"I followed your advice and they stab me in the back or just shun me, because they're dealing with their own broken hearts?" she asked and they nodded with a furious look. "That two bit little whore that was cheating on him, you mean to tell me that they threw their anger at Angela on you, without even listening to you?" Mei snapped in shock and she nodded and she and Peter nodded angrily as he answered her gently.
"Alright so let me read this out carefully, he assumes you cheated on him, and never takes your calls, continuing to keep up this delusion until it nearly kills them both. She stabs you in the back, after everything you ever did for her, and as for my son and her daughter. It's that they throw their anger at the girl cheating on him on you and never listen, until the truth comes out on the paper that night"
"There is no getting out of this right now, you two, you did this and you nearly killed her again, you little bitch, you are the heartless bastard young man!" Peter snapped and she paled at that and Frank swallowed hard at that. "You all said the same thing, and I followed your advice, and told Rocky, it was a fake, before telling the quartet, and Billy ran it through the thermal scanners." she said and their parents nodded to her.
"Guys we tell our parents doubles the truth, add it to the image." Jason said and it flashed red, pink and blue in response to that. "Dad it's not what you think, but everything that happened over the last year, and previous three. It's a matter of the truth coming out now, and with my being a colonel in the power ranger military and the original leader it's time." Austin told them and they nodded as Nathan's answered him 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.
