Planet Earth – Cenozoic Era

Ash fell from the sky upon the ruined earth below. The Red Ranger, Zordon, was badly beaten in this battle. Despite the pain he felt, he had to complete the mission…and say goodbye. Zordon crawled his way over the desolate becoming earth in order to get to the one he held most dear in his heart; his sister – his twin.

The White Ranger, Zanara, reached her hand out and when Zordon's own hand laced with hers, her armored dissipated because she gave him Coin.

Zordon saw the life leaving his sister's eyes and it pained him to see it so. "I'm sorry, sister," he spoke in their native tongue. "I'm so sorry."

"Stop…her…" Zanara gasped her final breaths, looking at her brother one last time.

Zordon would make Zanara's dying wish come true. He turned on his communicator and continued his way upon the ground. "Alpha. I'm the last one left. We must stop her. Send the meteor to my coordinates. "

Zordon ripped up a small, broken tree before removing his own Power Coin. With them in hand he said to them in his native tongue, "Seek only those who are worthy." He placed the Coins into the hole and watched as they glowed and slid deep within the soil. "Find only those who are strong." The Power Coins were safely within the ground just before a golden staff was driven in nearby.

The Green Ranger, Rita, laughed at the pathetic view below her – Zordon with no armor, powerless. In her language she spoke to him. "With the Zeo Crystal we could have ruled the Universe together."

Zordon chuckled lightly at her words. "That was never going to happen."

Rita removed her staff from the ground. "Then you will die, Zordon. Just like your sister."

"Then we will die together, Rita." Zordon threw himself over the hole where the Coins were placed the moment before the meteor hit the Earth, sending Rita to her demise within the vast waters of the ocean.

Present Day

Cheers echoed through the stands as Jenna Scott took her place on the floor. If she won gold in this State competition then she would be on the team for Nationals. And after that…maybe even the Olympics? Jenna's dreams were finally coming true.

Jenna won the gold medal and pleaded with her father to let her attend the party that was being held in pretty much her honor. Her father only relented when her twin brother Jason agreed to chaperone. Jason had no intention of doing it because his friends were going to be there, but hey, agreeing to the terms got them to go.

At the party, Jenna had a little too much fun – meaning she had a bit too much to drink – and yet she managed to realize that she was going to be late for curfew.

Jason found her out at the car and quickly tried to take the keys from her.

"I'm fine!" she cried.

Jason held out his hand for the keys. "I'm driving."

Jenna stood defiant. "I'm fine."

Jenna had no idea how much time passed between that moment and the impact of the other car with hers, but it was something she'd never forget…especially the sound that echoed through her mind.

Jenna woke with a gasp as her alarm rang out with the song 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go'. She reached out to her nightstand and turned it off before reaching up to the handle hanging from the ceiling to pull herself into a sitting position just as Jason came into the room.

She took a deep breath at the sight of Jason wearing the leg brace. Jenna lost all feeling from the waist down the night of the accident and Jason leg and knee got so injured he would never be able to play football again. Both their dreams were shattered on that hated night.

"Pick up the pace if you want to come with us," Jason said to his sister as she moved herself from the bed to the wheelchair and pulled her legs along with her.

"I just wanted a nap, so sue me," Jenna shot back and wheeled her way past him into the hall.

Jason didn't miss a beat with replying, "If you had anything of value, I would."

Jenna spun her chair around and crossed her arms. "What exactly is the plan again?"

Jason smirked, "You'll see."

Those words did not sit well with Jenna, especially since she knew this was more than likely payback for the times she used the same words on him.

"I cannot believe I let you talk me into this," Jenna muttered as she held onto the rope tied around bull while Jason pulled her chair and his teammate pushed the animal from behind into the locker room of their school's rival.

"I'm pretty sure we've both been talked into worse," Jason laughed and continued to pull her chair backwards. "And you've got to admit, you've got better upper-body strength now."

"Will you two just shut up and help tie this thing to the bench," Jason's friend pleaded. "I don't get why this cow is so unhappy. I just milked her!"

Jason and Jenna both froze for a moment before looking at each other. "I'm gonna tell him," Jenna quickly said to Jason but her

brother beat her to it by saying, "Dude, it's a him."

His friend was mildly confused. "Him?"

"Yeah," Jenna laughed as she rolled out of the way so they could tie up the bull. "Was it one udder?"

He nodded, "Yeah."

"It's a him," Jason told him.

"You know, I thought it was weird. It was really big and I needed two hands…"

"Oh my god stop talking and never discuss this again!" Jenna shuddered as she rolled passed them, dodging the bull while she was at it.

Jason's other teammate came in shouting out, "Cops! Cops are coming!"

Jenna was the first out of the locker room with the guys right behind her. She made it out to the truck first and saw Jason doing his best to catch up. "Pick up the pace if you want to come with me!" she called out to him.

Jason made it to the truck and told her to shut up before scooping her out of the chair and putting her into the front seat of his truck. After throwing her chair into the bed of his truck he went as quickly as he could to get into the driver's seat.

"Go but for the love drive safely!" Jenna shouted at him as he put the truck into gear and sped off.

As he drove he saw the bull walking out towards the road. "Sorry, Beefcake!" he called out and kept driving.

Jenna held onto her seatbelt as Jason sped through the streets, barely missing cars in the process. "I understand the need for a getaway but please slow down!"

"Speed wasn't what got us into this situation the last time," Jason told her quickly. "Remember?"

Jenna stayed quiet after that then saw a car coming towards them from the side street. "Look out!" she cried out as Jason went through the red light and swerved to miss the car, only to crash into a parked car and flip his own vehicle in the process.

Jenna couldn't believe this was happening again and the shock of it essentially made her black out all the events of the impact that unfolded. But the aftermath of this accident couldn't be avoided.

3 Weeks Later

Mr Scott drove his kids to the school on the weekend for their detention. He turned to look at Jenna in the backseat and then Jason sitting beside him. Both Jason and Jenna had to wear ankle monitors after their 'escapade' with the rival school.

"I don't understand either of you anymore," Mr Scott said to them. "After everything that happened before you go and do something stupid. Another crash! Didn't either of you learn from the first time."

"We've both lost use of our legs in different ways," Jenna shot back. "What else is there to lose?"

"How about your lives?!" he shouted back at her then took a deep breath. "I know you both think it's noble not to rat out your friends, but…"

"We were the only ones there," Jason replied with snark. "What can I say, Beefcake and I had a connection. Besides, once Jenna is in the car it's not like she can do much about where we're going."

"This is not the moment to be a wise ass." Mr Scott was not happy with them. "This isn't funny either. And you know what else isn't funny – the two of you coming here every Saturday again just so you can graduate. Dammit! You two could have written your own tickets out of here if you just didn't…" Mr Scott took another deep breath because knew how neither of them liked to discuss the accident and didn't want to pour more salt in still present wounds. "Are you happy being stuck in there with all those weirdos and criminals again?"

Jason merely scoffed and got out of the car to get Jenna's chair from the trunk and Jenna said to their dad, "In case you haven't noticed," she patted her legs before pointing to the ankle monitor. "We are weirdos and criminals."

Mr Scott scoffed at her response and didn't say anything as Jason helped Jenna into her chair and pushed her up the ramp into Angel Grove High School.

Once Jason pushed her chair inside, Jenna took over and rolled herself down the hall. She was the only one with elevator clearance and doubted Jason would want more added to either of their sentences because she let him hitch a ride.

Jenna slowed for a moment when she reached the display cases. Jason's football number was retired and stood in the center of all the achievements he made and right next to it was the gymnastics team display case, featuring the achievements of her own – achievements long past.

These display cases were two things Jenna hated with a passion because they were nothing but a reminder of things they lost all because of the accident. Jenna took a deep breath, trying to keep her emotions in check. And once inside the elevator, she tied up her blonde hair and braced herself for the crap the come.

Jenna rolled out of the elevator into the basement detention room and ignored all the names being shouted at her. She just rolled up to an empty table and ignored the world around her. Jenna didn't ignore the world for long because some jerk was harassing one of the other kids. "Leave him alone," Jenna ordered of him as she rolled her chair over to the kid.

The jerk laughed, "What are you going to do about it? Stand up and fight me?"

Jason walked over to the jerk and shoved him. "What are you five? Hi, I'm Jason and that there is my sister, Jenna. You must not know your detention history, because if you did you'd know not to mess with her. Unless you are as dumb as you look."

The jerk tried to punch Jason twice but missed each time and Jason slapped him in return. The jerk was more taken aback by the fact he was slapped more than anything else. "Did you just slap me?"

"I did. Weird, right?" Jason chuckled. "Now, my sister and I are going to be here for pretty much the rest of our lives and I'm sure that you are, too. So, let's make a deal. Don't sit near me, or her, or him," Jason gestured to the kid he jerk was bullying, "and we'll be okay." With his point made, Jason went to take a seat.

Jenna turned her chair around and went after him, seething, "I'd like to be given the chance to fight my own battles."

Jason took his seat and looked at her with a 'seriously?' expression. "And how would you do that? Roll over his toes?"

"Keep making me feel inferior and you'll find out," Jenna shot back and turned back around to go back to her table. She was so pissed that she didn't even look at her brother for the rest of detention.

After detention, Jason told Jenna about what the kid – Billy Cranston – offered; help with something tonight in exchange for tricking the SIM card in the ankle tracker. Jason told Billy he'd think about it if he could trick Jenna's as well. He figured that could be a bit of an olive branch between them.

"If you're gonna do it, you're on your own," was Jenna's reply at the end of it.

"Oh, come on, Jen, what happened to the risk taker in you?" Jason was baiting her for sure.

"I think we've been punished enough for them." Jenna sighed deeply and went on to meet their dad at the car without another word about it shared between them. The thought was intriguing in a way, though. Before her dad moved to help her into the car, she asked, "Can I go to the library? I need a book for a report due."

Her father scoffed heavily. "Am I expected to believe that?"

"I may have lied about a lot of things but when have I ever lied about school work?" That was probably the only thing she never lied about…until now that is.

"Fine," he caved. "Only because if you don't get home on time, the Sherriff's Department will have a say in this."

"Thanks for the faith, dad," Jenna sarcastically replied and went on her way.

It wasn't too hard to find out where Billy Cranston lived but when she got to his house, the front steps were a problem. Jenna was not going to leave her chair and pull herself up them so she'd just have to get creative.

Jenna pulled her bag off the back of her chair and looked through it. Finally she found what she was looking for – her tennis ball. It was something she carried around in case she was ever bored but this time it would have a different purpose.

After setting herself up as close to the door as she could get, she threw the ball to knock and caught it when it came back to her. Jenna waited a moment or two before doing it again. By the third time a woman came to the door.

"Jenna Scott!" Mrs Cranston cried out happily. "This is an honor. My niece used to follow your progress, she was your biggest fan." Upon realizing her words, she looked at her apologetically before asking, "How can I help you?"

"Is Billy home?" Jenna asked, hoping he was.

Mrs Cranston was surprised by this question. "Yes, he is, but…why are you here to see him?"

"I've been invited. Is that alright?" Jenna smiled sweetly at her, hoping it'd cut through the rest of this crap.

"Of course," she smiled. "Billy is in the basement. The side path should be clear and lead you right to the outside door."

"Thanks, Mrs Cranston," Jenna smiled again and made her way down the path next to the house which led directly to the cellar door as promise. It was easy to knock this time, so she did.

Billy opened the door and looked surprised to see her there. "No Jason?"

"Is Jason's attendance mandatory?" Jenna asked with a slightly raised brow.

"N – no," Billy answered quickly before stepping aside. "Come on in. Excuse the mess."

"I've made it through worse," Jenna muttered and rolled herself inside as far as she could go.

Jenna listened as Billy told her about how his dad's been dead for over seven years and how he and his dad used to go to the mine and look for stuff until he was done with the tracker. "So, what do I owe you for this since I can't exactly help with…whatever you and Jason agreed on."

"Well, you could come," Billy countered. "You see, my cousin, she's in a wheelchair, too, so when my Aunt and Uncle got a handicap accessible van they sold their old one to my mom because her car was hardly running anymore. Anyway, it's all set up for a wheelchair if you, you know, did want to come."

Jenna crossed her arms and thought about it. "You mean you have a vehicle that I can get into without someone lifting me in and tossing my chair in the truck?" When Billy nodded repeatedly, she smiled, "Sold."

Jenna waited at Billy's place to see if Jason would show up, which he did…at 6:56. "You should have picked up the pace," Jenna teased as Jason started freaking out on Billy about being late.

Billy told Jason the same things she told her about hid dad and what they used to do at the mine and whatnot until the tracker was rigged and Jason was all set.

Jenna chuckled a bit when Jason hugged Billy and Billy seriously asked him to stop touching him.

Jason finally turned his attention to his sister. "Library, huh?"

"I was planning on just rolling around the park tonight but Billy here sold me on going along as soon as a handicap-accessible van was mentioned." Jenna sighed in a bit day-dreaming manner. "It takes so little to please me."

Jenna ignored Jason's laughter at that and clapped her hands together before rubbing them. "Where to, boys? As long as Jason doesn't drive."

Jason looked at her with a sarcastic, "Ha ha ha," before adding in, "You're one to talk."

Jenna crossed her arms and answered that with, "So are you."

Billy looked between them before asking, "Is this about the first accident or the second one because you two seemed to get into a lot of car accidents together." His face dropped a bit at that before saying affirmatively, "Maybe I should drive."

Jason patted Billy on the back in a 'don't worry fashion'. "You promised to lend me the van after, remember? So I think that means I'm driving."

Jenna took that opportunity to half joke, "Hope you've got good insurance."
