Sky was still shocked and could't believe to hear what might have happened to his uncle.
"So no one is sure what could have happened to him?" Sky asked.
"Unfortunately, no. We're not sure where he could be or if he is possibly kidnapped, I've already informed this to Time Force and are trying to find him to know what exactly might have happened to him." Alex explained.
"Hopefully they will find him, he has to be okay." Andrea said.
"They'll inform me and let me know on anything." Alex said.
"I hope your right, he has to be around somewhere." Sky said.
"It's going to be okay Sky, he will be found, he's our uncle and the only relative we have of mom now." Andrea said.
"Don't be sad you two, as long as you have each other." Eric said.
"Is it alright if I talk to both of you?" Alex asked both Sky and Andrea.
"Sure. I guess so." Sky answered.
"You know we still got to finish what you were still telling us." Andrea said.
"I know. I didn't forget." Alex said as they went out back.
"How's everything been with both of you?" Alex asked.
"We've been okay, not much." Sky answered.
"Just a regular day it's been." Andrea said.
"Did you get a chance to go by your grandfather's house?" Alex asked.
"We did. Yesterday with my friends. You were right. I did find the answers I was looking for." Sky answered.
"So you have. What did you find?" Alex asked.
"I finally found out what was behind the door that was locked and why my mom didn't tell me much about it." Sky answered.
"I remember. You were really curious to know when you were a kid, even Eric and Taylor's kids, too." Alex said.
"And we were right all along. There were pictures, especially one with my parents together, when they were young." Sky said.
"There was also a badge in there, too. It once belonged to mom, Eric said mom gave that badge to your dad when she was leaving, along with her friends returning to the future." Andrea said.
"I remember those pictures also, might as well continue where I left off." Alex said.
"Right. I sort of stormed off, not wanting to hear from you, but this time I won't." Sky said.
"Go ahead, dad. Keep on telling us." Andrea said.
"I was upset with your mom and her friends because their actions going on in the present had been changing the future, so I took back my position as red ranger so that your dad would take over your grandfather's business after he died." Alex said.
"Grandpa almost had a near death experience?" Sky said, surprised.
"Sounds like you weren't the only one who experienced it." Andrea said.
"He did, but you had the most before you were even born." Alex said.
"You mean I was almost never born?" Sky asked.
"Your mom didn't know she was pregnant with you, and she almost miscarried, and you almost died. When you were about to be born, I was glad to save your mom when she was unconscious on the floor and took her to the hospital. When you were a few months old, you nearly died from SIDS if your uncle didn't bring you to the hospital on time. Then, when you fell in the pool nearly drowning if it weren't for Chase who got our attention, even the accident you almost had in which none of us still haven't understood." Alex explained.
"Not to mention a few broken bones you had too." Andrea said.
"And yet, how am I still alive?" Sky said.
"It's something we will never know." Alex said.
"Anyway, tell us how did grandpa had almost died." Sky said.
"I can answer that here." they turned around hearing Eric's voice. "Sorry, I didn't mean to listen in."
"No worries, you can explain this one." Alex said.
"Your grandfather confronted Ransik, trying to steal serums that cured everyone from a mutant that bit and infected them. He tried to stop him from taking it, then he attacked him. I tried to stop Ransik from taking the serum, and he took me down real easily, I saw an ambulance came taking your grandfather in the truck, I stood by him. I contacted your father about your grandfather's critical condition." Eric said.
"Grandpa must have had the courage to confront him like that." Sky said.
"You're telling me." Andrea said.
"Yor father didn't have a choice but to hand over the morpher to me and went to the hospital to check on your grandfather. Your mom and her friends took me to the clock tower, which was where they were staying, and of course, when I saw those pictures, I sort of got upset when I saw that picture of your dad kissing your mom on the cheek." Alex said when the door opened by surprise seeing it was RIC with Trip, Lucas, and Katie listening in on their conversation.
"Were you guys eavesdropping?" Eric asked, and the three of them nodded yes.
"Well aren't we busted here." Lucas said.
"Even you RIC?" Sky asked, and RIC put his head down.
"I think that was a yes." Andrea said.
"Well, we couldn't hear you all, so we used him to hear clearer." Trip said.
"I told you guys not to and didn't even bother listening." Taylor said.
"Nice try, you were even eavesdropping with them too." Eric said.
"She couldn't help it. She wanted to join in." Katie said.
"I wasn't the only one who did." Taylor said, when Tyler and Megan came out too.
"I don't think any of us will ever learn." Eric said.
"Unfortunately, my friends are like that too." Sky said.
"This was supposed to be talk with Sky and Andrea here." Alex said.
"Look, why don't we tell him too, besides he's now old enough to know." Katie said.
"You'll even leave out a few details that you probably don't want Sky and Andrea to know." Lucas said.
"There are some stories we want to tell them too." Trip said.
"Okay, fine, only because you all know how I was back then." Alex said.
"You were getting to the part where we showed you around the clock tower and didn't like how it looked." Katie said.
"Even said Wes was just a civilian and that we looked ridiculous in dressed normal civilian clothes." Trip said.
"Not to mention starting to boss us around and to change into our uniforms." Lucas said.
"Didn't know you were like that, doesn't surprise me." Sky said.
"So I guess mom's feelings didn't matter to you? Did it?" Andrea asked.
"I'll admit I was more focused on setting things right in the present." Alex answered.
"Sometimes I wonder what mom did see in you." Sky said.
"The same thing I asked too back then." Lucas said.
"We were already fed up with Alex being strict with us and his attitude." Trip said.
"After all, we were a strong team with your dad as the red ranger." Katie said.
"Sounds like there is a side of you I didn't know about, dad." Andrea said.
"I thought I was a worse person here." Eric said.
"Anyway, we were glad that your dad came back after Alex gave back the morpher to him and were able to work as a team." Katie said.
"After all that, your dad took off to go see how your grandfather was doing." Trip said.
"Luckily, nothing did happen, thanks to someone who prevented that from happening." Lucas said.
"Who would that be?" Sky asked, seeing Lucas, Trip, and Katie looking towards Alex.
"You did, Alex? You saved my grandfather from dying?" Sky asked.
"I did. I used advanced cures from the future to prevent him from dying." Alex answered.
"That was a good thing you did, dad. Though, did you at least regret treating mom and the rest for being strict with them?" Andrea said.
"Yes. I did apologize and did tell them they were excellent rangers, I was about to head my way back to the time ship when Sky's father stopped me and asked if I saved your grandfather, I gave a nod of yes then thought if I was just playing with destiny. I told him we all make our own destiny something he taught me." Alex said.
"I remember you told me that, even if you said there was nothing bad you say about him from what everyone just told me." Sky said.
"You were a kid, I didn't want you to think I was a bad person to your dad. It was hard for me to accept that your mom didn't love me anymore, and she fell in love with your dad. That was the reason why she broke off our engagement. I let her stay here so she can be happy with him." Alex explained.
"Even if they were together, you never got over your feelings for my mom. You still loved her." Sky said.
"Is that true, dad?" Andrea asked.
"I never did. My feelings for her were strong, though it was difficult for her to move on after Sky's father death." Alex answered.
"None of you have ever told me how my dad died. All I know is it was some kind of accident you all keep saying but didn't tell what type of accident." Sky explained, though everyone got quiet and felt sad.
"Sky. This is sort of something we all have difficult in talking about." Eric responded.
"Why do you say that?" Sky asked.
"I'm sorry...but I can't talk about it." Eric answered, then went inside his house.
"I'll go check on him. Tyler. Megan. Come with me." Taylor said and went inside along with her kids following.
"What was up with Eric?" Andrea asked.
"Why did he say it was difficult to talk about what had happened to my dad?" Sky asked.
"It was something Eric couldn't get over." Alex answered.
"What do you mean?" Sky asked.
"Eric felt guilty because he couldn't save your dad." Alex answered, and Sky was surprised to know.
