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 22: New Futures And Fresh Starts II: Time's Arrow and Recovery XII
"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.
"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.

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.
"Guys on me now, but there could be two things connecting this, and they're both involving before Vile came into the picture now." he said and Karen crossed her arms. "You're saying this is Ranger related not normal, but after they destroyed our power coins, here at the time now. We forgot everything we ever learned not to realized they never destroyed our powers with the power coins?" Yost said and he nodded sternly then.
"Exactly, we never gave up before so why start now, and when Jason came back the impact of that had a line. And between us getting even stronger, as one side started getting weaker the other side stronger. And the side stronger now that we're back in one piece, it's the potion notion. The Mighty Morphin to Thunderzord upgrade, when I came back white and stayed white for 18 months." he said sternly and Cathy went pale.
"Whatever had me….." He started to say and turned to look at Catherine then. "Catherine coming to cheer me up, but there it is, if she was a true friend right now. Then she would accept that I need some time alone to think and then get to the nearest phone. As you told me the truth, as I never realized that we still had them at the moment, but I was still leery about being around her when Aisha left at the time now, friends."
"I called her friend, but more then friend in your case, cool things down and…., 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. "Tanya Sloan, or rather Anya, Anya Erica Sloan, my sextet called me Anya, a trio of Caucasian children, a boy without glasses, dressed in blue, a girl dressed in a pink leotard, and a boy dressed in red, who was green belt at the age of 10. Another boy, black that was adding dancing to his taekwondo and a Chinese looking girl."
"Guys is that really you, guys, Zack, Trini?!" she said and they smiled in delight. "I don't believe it, everything Kat thought she had, all of belonged to Kimberly first. The Zeo powers are her's alone, but the Mighty Morphin and Ninjetti belong to Kim. Anya, is that really you?" Walter said, smiling, and she smiled in delight, as she hugged him and he tightened his arms around her. "Anya, my Anya." he said into her ear, smiling happily then.
"Zack, I missed you so much." she said, smiling, as she pressed her forehead to his then. "Then I knew about Carter, I knew everything, 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 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 then.
"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.
"Agreed, just how stupid does she think you are, that's the third time in 3 years they tried to drive a wedge between us right now. But Draco, is that your dragon, if your eyes keep flashing green, and we saw him, as a clone, after he lead us into a trap?" Karen asked and he nodded as he crossed his arms. "Yeah Dragon is the Dragonzord, after Zedd destroyed their original, I sent him back." he said as he looked at Catherine sternly.
And she paled. "If she knew how to destroy us, would they be in hiding right now, like Kimberly said Rita, we are your worst nightmare, especially her and me. That you'll never get rid of us, but nice try it nearly worked, but the blast from the fire. It broke the spell, we win again." He said sternly and nodded sternly then at this. "So another vice versa with the femme fatale are we, only with the replacement pink in the place."
"And of your female henchmen?" He asked and Karen stood up off the table at that. "Scorpina, AKA Sabrina?!" She said and he nodded as he said it to Yost. "Exactly Aisha, that's exactly what he's talking about, Vice Versa Revisited here. They tried it again and it nearly worked, but not, on the second that Maligore is preparing to get out. The fire blast threw all three of us away from the pit, and breaking the spell all at once."
"He's back to being himself again finally now, but there it is, a divide and conquer that might have worked, were it not for the power blast." she said to her then. "And now the truth comes out, Billy, we forgave her sure, but there was a secondary spell on her. As that was the final gambit now." he said and Yost stood up in shock at that. "We forgave her sure, but we should have never let it go, at the time here now, unlike her."
"Is you spent 2.5 years being power ranger leading into when the Machine Empire arrives, she may claim you were both outsiders on the team. You both faced Rita, but she doesn't really, truly understand you, only Kim ever did here. She only recently became a power ranger, and Tanya and Justin with her at the time. There's the difference, I knew you longer, I never let it go then, in a previous enemy turned ally."
"That why should I now, when we're this close to retirement, as we look for the new team to finish it. But the try and trust should never have ended, if it hadn't, we never would have cut it this close, on 2 occasions. That there's the difference, that blow to the head undid the spell, I knew this didn't seem like you. You would never just give up on yourself and your relationship with Kimberly, we always knew that right now."
"Especially after the gorilla, you were with her and Zack, I was with Jason and Trini, that there's the proof, you never gave up then. Or when we fought it out with with the mollusk monster, that why start now, at the time here right now." he said sternly and Karen, Bosch, Frank and Cardenas crossed their arms and she went white in fear then. Now realizing to them it was back to that again, as they started considering she was still a plant.
"So that's it, after everything she has ever done for you, bringing you into our circle, giving you her position on the team. A chance to redeem yourself now, this is how you repay her, by stealing her boyfriend from her. You know he may have also been an enemy, turned friend, but he never would have stolen our power coins. Or just blackmail us, to keep a member of the team alive?" Austin said and she swallowed at that.
"After everything she's done for you, you pull this stunt, Katherine, a real friend asks for a list of translations, a real friend would tell the girl's boyfriend the letter is a lie. A real friend knows that the boyfriend is off limits, does your behavior this past year say friend at all right now. To any of us, because I would never date a woman, said that turns on her friends as quickly as you!" Frank said sternly and she started shaking in fear.
And now realizing her behavior did not say friend, but rival for him and in every way it could be said as he went on. "You stole me away from my real girlfriend right now, trying to turn me into something I'm not. Give me room to think, bring it on down, need to work on my swing, need to be doing my own thing." Frank said, closing his eyes as he re-examined the past year, as he saw Amy in the bathroom, crying her eyes out and in pain, seeing it clearly.
At having to let him go, as they were talking at the table, as her words broke through what Cathy was saying to him, as her voice replaced Cathy and he smiled sternly. As he said the next lyrics to the song then. "It's no good at all, to see yourself, and not recognize… your face, out on my own it's such a scary place, Ohh. The answers are all inside of me, all I have to do is believe, I'm.., not going to stop, not going to stop till I get my shot."
"That's my plan, what I am, will I end up on top, bet you can, bet on it, Ninjetti the Falcon!" he shouted and he appeared in his robes and she swallowed hard, now realizing she pissed him off now."I'm back right now and now they pissed me off, as she said worst nightmare here." he said sternly to their unseen enemies, knowing they all paled finally. "Tommy that really you, our you?!" Yost said and he nodded, as he pulled Amy into a hug.
And she tightened her arms around him and he pressed his forehead to her. "I'll fix this, I am the falcon once again, my love, my wife, my Kimberly, my love is you, only you." he said and she nodded "Well his soul search his dealing with Sam and David, was more then just finding his family, it's returning to the path that was laid out. From the very beginning: it should have been Kimberly there when Sam was killed at the time."
"It should have been Kim when he got captured, Kim at my side, after I started losing the gold ranger powers and Billy." Austin said and he nodded sternly in agreement then to that now. "Katherine, I don't like the way you been treating my friends, or my real girlfriend, frankly I don't like the way I been treating them either. So I'm doing something about it and to start it off, is this relationship with you is over with."
"And starting now, secondly, you are off the Turbo team and being regulated back to the Zeos!" He said and she went white in fear then. "Just get away from me Katherine, I never been so disgusted with you, after everything she ever did for you, you do this. I could never date anyone that turns on her friends as quickly as you do, go!" He snapped and she moved away from them in pain at his rejection and the 10's parents nodded.
And sternly at that. "Kat don't look at us, he's right and apparently you forgot how you ever became a ranger at the time, been 21 months since that day." Yost said sternly and she swallowed hard. "Agreed, I never been so disgusted right now, after everything she ever did for you, you steal her boyfriend. That my god, just what, in truth, did she ever do, to you to have you do this to her?" Austin said sternly and she started shaking then.
"Thank god for the telephone tag, or she steals you, my friends, with him too." Amy said sternly and the 9 nodded sternly in agreement. "And to us, it's always you this and you that, you are our friend and we knew you longer then we did her." Cardenas said sternly to this. "But that's still no excuse for this stunt, how long before the truth came out you decided to throw the fact that the letter is a fake and get caught while doing it."
"In truth exactly right now, as once the entire team came home and with it the capture by another enemy, were you praying. That we never examined her words more closely, friends: she had no friends, pink is out. She means you never were a pink Ranger, but rather a backstabber and traitor." Bosch said and she swallowed hard. "Agreed here, we'd feel the same way on your mother, your version feels about you."
"If your mother did the same to Carrie." Bosch's father said to her sternly. "And I don't know what you expected young lady, but you deserved that remark. Every word of it, as they never let go, you're a backstabber here right now. They're engaged, even before you came into the picture." Yost's father said and she swallowed hard at that remark and news, as Frank pulled Amy into a hug and she wrapped her arms around his waist then.
"The only difference here, Billy, in truth, is we been together so long right now, here, I knew the ins and outs, the dangers of losing our powers. From the original form our powers took, when connected to the grid still, but not. When the coins are merely conduits, it's linking our powers to the coins, that our bodies start reverting to normal. And again, that the more energy you put into it, the more toll it takes on your body."
"And you and I both know the dangers with me, but our power coins in truth, connected to our bodies, and us being rangers for going in 3 years now. That the effect can kill you, being as your body going into withdrawal. And from suddenly going cold turkey here." he said and Nakia nodded in shocked disbelief at that. "I had never been so furious or wanted to kill Zedd more for trying to further the draining at the time."
"There's the difference between the versions, I'm the good green ranger, but I never put one now. Of the 5 of you, in both versions, in the emergency room, after stealing your power coin. And not when the woman of my dreams, is the piece holding the good in me to the core. It took Jason destroying the sword to break the spell, once done, I swore to defend against the forces of evil." he said and he and the trio nodded.
And in stern agreement. "Good point you never did this to us, you been in love with Kimberly from the second you saw her, but even under her influence. You had to show me you could protect her, Billy, when as the good green ranger. That good, your powers match mine, in everything, if I'm not here you can lead her and Billy easily. But you never stole our power coins, you knew the dangers." Austin said to him then.
"Both versions: you mean my version, as Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Kat and Billy, or your's: Jason, Zack, Billy, Kimberly and Trini?" Nakia asked him then, as they and the quintet moved to him. "Yeah that's exactly what I mean now, I never stole their power coins, not only was this petty in the threats, I was toying with them, as Draco. That's my dragon's alter ego, and Kim immediately recognized this after they cloned me."
"But Dragon, my green dragon spirit was still refusing to kill them, but the good side of me, showing once the spell was broken. As I showed they can benefit from my powers, as we stopped her together, it was exactly a year. And from that day, that together we defeated her, before Zedd took her place, now. His powers were too strong for mine, and after I drained it all, I went white." he said and she nodded then.
"My friends and original unit, after I moved to town, are Kim, Billy, Jason, and the duo there, going on 5 years, we been friends a long time now. But the realization I had another spell placed on me, this was even more cold blooded and vindictive. They just turned Draco on themselves and once we find a way to destroy them now. Heads are going to roll, for getting between my and my girlfriend." he said and she nodded then.
"You mean aside from the said brain drain that Gaskett pulled?" Cardenas asked and he nodded sternly. "Yeah, it's Scorpina all over again, and guess who got chosen to play her now." he said and they crossed their arms. "First me and now you, yeah heads are going to roll alright, now this is war." Bosch said sternly at that news. "Sorry Kimberly, if we remembered she was her plant, we never would have." Cardenas said to her then.
"Good point, you kidnapped me here, in your tactics, but you never stole our power coins in the process, that was just being petty with the threats. You're just as powerful as I am, hence the armor, but you never stole our power coins. You never put any of us in the hospital, and you certainly never forced us into choosing. Between being henchmen for the enemy or we lose one of us to death." Austin said sternly to this.
"We all know this, you loved her from the second you saw her, you just never knew who the said friends were, till you saw us finally. Although Rita programmed our identities into your subconscious, our you never knew who Kim's friends. Her quintet, are, truly, till you see us surrounding you finally, and you realize finally. She brings you into our circle and you accept the position and we make 6." Yost said to him then.
"There's the difference, guys, I only had eyes for Kimberly from the second we met, I just never knew who her quintet are till you break the spell. And I see you crouched there next to me, before seeing the duo next to you, and Kimberly next to Billy. And the punchline becomes clear, she said join her and her friends at the center. I just never knew who the friends are, till I see you standing there." he said and he nodded.
"You never looked in our direction to see us cheering Jason on at the time, but we could see here you guys are totally equal, but seeing it. If you became a ranger, you're his complete equal, that Rita decided to put that to the test now. You're the leaders of the 10 of us, in truth, both sharing the same 18 month interim. But your side of the 9 of us is Aisha, Rocky and Adam, we belong to Jason, with Kat, Justin and Tanya."
"Issues with the redirect here we all knew this, you're so strong you could easily destroy something when evil, but it took combining all of us together to stop you. That's 4 years ago, but 3 years on, you are so powerful, do they even know the dangers, as we barely survived the fight, and that's when green. And you're a hatchling, but now you're a young adult green dragon." Walter said and he nodded gently.
"But 5 becomes 6, as both sides of the sextet are created, and now finally, she, you and Billy are inseparable here." Thuy said gently and he smiled gently. "Yeah and we will be once again, I guarantee that right now, but we were, we are, the Ninjetti 6." he said and the current trio exchanged smiles at that remark. "The Ninjetti 6, we are the Ninjetti 6 once again finally, we're back." Amy said and Yost and Frank nodded as that said it all.
