Wes and J.J stepped into the Mansion and found it completely devoid of life.

"From what we gathered from the titan we should be looking for an elevator somewhere…" Wes said.

"Really narrows that down," J.J replied.

The two Rangers sprang into defensive stances as the sound of footsteps approached.

"Oh relax," The man in the red suit said as he approached the duo. "I'm not going to fight you."

"What do you want then?" J.J asked.

"The elevator is the fourth room door down on the southern wing," The man said. "Loshart is on the bottom floor."

"Why are you telling us this?" Wes asked.

The man smiled, "His last payment just transferred to my bank account and I'm taking a plane off this hellhole."

The two just watched the man as he stepped past them and out the back door. Then Wes looked to J.J. "Guess we know where to go now."

J.J nodded and the two Rangers headed south.

Becca picked herself up as the man walked towards her, his blade humming with energy and blood lust. She then summoned her Lupetus Claws and charged. She ducked under his sideways strike and swung up, cracking his armor and knocking him onto his back.

It was then that her three teammates approached. "His goons were taken out and handcuffed," Sandra said to Becca. "Now what?"

Becca was about to ignore Sandra's comment and finish off the enemy, but then his two doppelgangers appeared at his side, one of them carried a massive RPG launcher while the other had a large rifle.

She took a breath and swallowed the swelling sense of pride that told her to fight alone.

"Use your bow to flank the one with the gun," Becca told Sandra.

"William, use your Ram Cannon to blow the one with the rocket launcher into the stratosphere."

"Neil, follow my lead."

"Yes captain," The Blue Ranger said excitedly as he charged beside her.

"Aw, look at that," The thug said, "You're all working as a team. That gives me more skulls to crush."

"Throw your Oceanus Blades at his weak spot!"

"Got it!" He replied and his blade flew towards the man.

But he knocked them away from with a simple swing of his hands and laughed.

Becca laughed as well. "I can't believe you guys keep falling for this," Becca said and fired her Lapitus Blaster into his chest.

The man flew back as his armor shattered.

Meanwhile, the other Rangers had managed to take out his other forms, who were cuffed and being held down by each of the Rangers.

"Alright big guy the games over and you lost," Becca said as she moved to put the last of him in handcuffs.

"I think you're celebrating a bit early," The man growled. He quickly turned around and fired a small pistol several times into her chest.

Becca was knocked back as sparks flew from her armor. She quickly recovered, but by then he was already standing up.

He reached into his pocket and drew a palm-sized metal ball.

"That's a Mutagen Grenade!" Neil exclaimed.

"In English please," Becca replied as she leveled her pistol to the man.

"It's what Lord Zedd used to make monsters giant," The Blue Ranger exclaimed.

The man laughed and crushed the grenade with his fist, shooting the goopy liquid all over himself.

His body began to convulse and bubble. "This one is different." He said through gritted teeth. His muscles bulged and stretched as his body expanded. "Instead of making me grow this one makes me… something new."

His skin was rapidly being replaced with scales, his eyes darkened into pools of pure black, and his nose melted away with only two slits remaining on his lizard-like face. Claws extended from his hands and he charged forward, cutting into Becca's armor with a burst of sparks as he continued to get more reptilian, with leathery plating covering most of his body.

The three Rangers helped Becca up as the man finished his transformation. "Why the stares?" He asked as his forked tongue flicked. "Trying to figure out how I'm still this sexy?"

"So what's the plan?" Neil asked Becca.

She touched her torn armor, feeling the exposed wiry innards.

"I think we need the big guns," She said.

"The vortex cannon?" Sandra asked, "We haven't been trained with it yet."

"Who cares," She said, "We've gotta end this freak quick."

She nodded and the four took stance, Becca and Neil on one side and Sandra and William on the other.

In a flash, the white cannon appeared.

The lizard creature growled and jumped onto all fours before charging headfirst.

The machine hummed with power, and Becca could feel all of her energy being poured into it.

"If this doesn't work we're screwed," Neil said.

"Then we'll make it work," Becca said as she pulled the trigger.

A massive wave of energy exploded from the Vortex Cannon, knocking all of the Rangers from their armor. The ball of energy hit the lizard and completely engulfed him.

He started to scream but his cries were ended prematurely as his body was reduced to ash.

Becca let out a sigh of relief, then looked towards his two clones, who had watched with wide eyes as a part of them had been disintegrated.

"Load them into the Jeep," Becca told her team, "I'm gonna go see if I can find Wes."

Kyden's heartbeat so aggressively he could feel it in every cell of his body.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Reinhold asked. "I designed these for a living. Though this one is a little small."

"How is this possible?" Kyden asked. "How are we from the future?"

"Time travel," Reinhold said. "One the marvels of our time. But a closely guarded resource. It's regulated by a group known as Time Force. I believe it might have been one of them that sent you back."

"What about you then?" Kyden asked.

"I left in a moment of desperation. I was involved with a gang of mutants, I funded their criminal activities and the authorities found out. So on a rainy day, I stole a time ship and flew back to the past. Unfortunately, my time ship was damaged beyond repair. Thankfully I was able to recover yours."

Kyden froze. "Is that why you adopted me?"

"Yes," He replied, "Unfortunately the ship was coded to your D.N.A. So I needed you to unlock it."

He then instructed Kyden to place his hand on another pad. A hiss then escaped the terminal and a device was lifted from a hidden compartment.

"Put that on your wrist," Reinhold said and pointed towards the silver device.

Kyden looked at the man. All of his jolliness had melted away and been replaced with a terrifying coldness. He did as he was told and put the device on his wrist.

That was when Wes and another person Kyden didn't recognize arrived

"Freeze!" Wes said with his blaster drawn.

"You're too late!" Reinhold exclaimed and grabbed Kyden by the wrist. He slammed his hand against another terminal and the ship hummed to life. "I'm tired of this hell hole. It's time to return to the 31st century."

Then the ship suddenly died.

Reinhold looked down in disbelief.

The man that wasn't Wes just chuckled. "You thought that would work?"

Reinhold looked up at them as he began to pale.

"Sorry," The man continued, "We're kinda trapped in a divergent timeline."

"A what?" Reinhold asked.

"Things got a little screwy in 2004 and Time Force couldn't fix it, so they separated this timeline. No Time Force powered time-traveling devices work anymore."

Reinhold collapsed and the other man sprang into action, he grabbed hold of Reinhold and handcuffed him.

But even as he was cuffed and dragged away he didn't seem to notice. It was like a part of his spirit had died and only a shell of his former self remained.

Wes looked at Kyden, "I'm not going to arrest you as long as you cooperate," He said, "I just need you to answer some questions."

Kyden nodded and followed them out.

***1

Wes sighed, he'd just finished debriefing. He knew everything. Reinhold was a criminal from the future who'd escaped with his daughter, who had tragically died and been revived.

And Kyden… he was sent to the past as a baby and recovered by Reinhold, who adopted and raised him to eventually use his D.N.A. It was all a big mess, but thankfully it had been resolved.

But there were still some lingering questions.

Suddenly there was a knock on his door. He told them they could enter and Becca's face popped up.

"Hey," She said, "I didn't want to to say this during debriefing but when I was searching for you I found something."

"What did you find?" He asked the Red Ranger.

She reached into her pocket and placed a small device on the table. "It's some kind of message. I think you should watch."

Wes felt breathless as he looked at the device. It was future tech from the 31st century.

He clicked the button and a brunette haired girl he thought he'd only see again in his dreams appeared in the form of a small blue hologram.

She spoke and Wes knew what he needed to do.

Kyden had done exactly what he was told and told Wes everything he knew, but he was still locked in Silver Guardian custody.

Great. Wonderful.

He sighed, he should have run when he had a chance. Or maybe he should have never gotten involved with Presley in the first place…

But it did little good to stew over different possibilities. He couldn't change the course of events, so he had to live with them as best as he could.

The door then opened as Wes stepped inside. He had a strange look on his face and a device in his hand.

Kyden didn't know what to say to man so he stayed quiet.

"I- uh don't know how to even start this," Wes said, "So I figured I could just show you."

He then set the thing down on the bed and clicked the button.

A small projection appeared, and the woman being projected spoke.

"Wes. I'm hoping this gets to you. As funny as this is I don't have a lot of time. I didn't realize until it was too late, and by then there wasn't anything I could do. The night after we stopped the Mut-Orgs I got pregnant… I broke nearly twenty timecodes by not aborting it. I went into hiding and when he was born I knew what I had to do. The timeline I'm sending him too is about to diverge. He'll be safe there. With you." She sighed and wiped the tear from her face.

"I love you. Please take care of our son. Keep Kyden safe."

Kyden just stared at Wes as everything clicked into place in his head.

"You're my dad?" Kyden asked.

Wes nodded. "Your mom did what she could to protect you. She brought you to me."

Silence fell over the two, neither of them knew what to do next.

Allison was also in the SGG H.Q, but she wasn't being held there. She just had nowhere else to go.

Her door opened and stepped inside.

"I hope I'm not bothering you."

"No," Allison said, "You aren't."

"So what do you want to do now?" asked,

Allison held her head down, "I'm not entirely sure. I don't know what to do."

"Can I make a suggestion?"

Allison was about to speak, but her voice died in her throat when drew what she held in her hand.

"You could join us," She said, "As our Black Ranger. I already talked to Wes and he said that if you go through the proper training you have his permission."

Allison looked at the Morpher for several seconds. It sturred a memory within her, something from her former self.

It told her exactly what to do.

So she took the morpher.

Becca stepped outside and sighed. She'd left her car. Again.

"Hey," Commander Collins said, he looked raw and conflicted. "Need a ride?"

"That would be cool," She replied.

Becca hopped into Wes's car and the two headed towards her apartment.

"You did good today," Wes said.

"Thanks," Becca said. "Those freaks weren't easy to arrest."

"I don't mean that," He replied, "I mean you did great as the Red Ranger."

"Thanks?"

"Look," He said, "I wasn't always the best Red Ranger myself. I was carefree, I just wanted to have fun. But had someone else to lead the team, to show me how to be a leader, and I try to emulate what she taught me every day."

He paused as he pulled into the driveway and looked Becca in the eyes. "I shouldn't be so hard on you. I should trust that you'll eventually become the leader I know you're capable of being. Today was a big step and I'm proud of you."

Becca just nodded, feeling a strong sense of pride bubbling inside.

She stepped out of his car and found herself looking down her morpher.

And she suddenly felt like giving her mom a call.

A/N: And there we have it folks, the end of this story. But this isn't the end of the characters as they'll be making their way into Jurrasic Knights: The Son of Drakkon
