A/N: This takes place moments after "The End of Time pt. III"
Please take a few minutes to review, I live for'em.
New Tech City, California 2025 ADJack, Sky and the others stood in the lobby, facing the elevator doors. All of them stood ready, unsure of what to expect when the robot stepped out.
"According to our readings, he's in there. This is the only way out of the building, he'll have to come here," Syd mentioned.
"Alright guys, its show time," Jack told them.
Jen stood behind them, and couldn't help but feel a little out of place. She was a skilled fighter, and had proven herself in battle many times before this, but without her morpher, she was afraid she'd just be in the way. The last time she faced Frax, she was no match for him, and that was with her morpher. If she knew her history as well as she thought, the B-Squad SPD rangers were a formidable force for their time, but even they were ill equipped to deal with the level of technology Frax possessed. Frax was, even in her time, considered a technological advancement. He was the first documented robot to have a soul, a human essence, and that alone made him unique. Under better circumstances, Frax could be studied, and all of mankind could benefit from what they learned from him, but she was sure that Frax wasn't going to go down without a fight. It would be necessary to destroy him, she was sure of it.
The elevator doors opened, and as predicted, Frax stepped out, dragging Kat along with him.
"Look, a welcoming committee," Frax said.
"Release Dr. Manx right now or…"
"Or what? You'll open fire? In all my travels, rangers are always the same. So prideful, so full of themselves, but none of them have what it takes to do whats necessary," he said.
"Rangers, do it! Stop him!" Kat screamed.
"Your attempt at a noble sacrifice is noted, but will do you no good. None of them here will fire on you, and when this over, I will be supreme ruler of this pathetic excuse of a world," he told them.
Jen forced her way through the rangers, taking a step forward. "They may not be able to do anything, but I can," she said. She snatched a disrupted off Syd's hip, aimed and fired at him. Jack, realizing what she was trying to do, was able to push Jen aside, stopping the disrupter beam from hitting Frax.
"What the hell are you doing?" she snapped.
"I'm stopping you from destroying my friend," Jack retorted.
"Don't you get it, do you? Frax will destroy her, you, and everyone in this time period. Billions will die because you didn't have the nerve to…"
"I've heard enough of this," Frax said, opening fire himself.
All of them were able to avoid contact. Frax shoved Kat down to the floor, charging in at the rangers. Sky and Syd went for a double spin kick, but Frax caught Syd's foot, lifted her up and threw her into Sky, knocking them both over. Z replicated, and all three of them rushed at Frax. They were able to force him to take a few steps back. Every time Frax swung at one them; they'd disappear, only to reappear a few feet away, landing another kick. Frax fired his energy beam at one of them, firing, knocking Z up against the wall. The replicants disappeared, and Bridge hurried over to Z, checking on her.
"I'm done playing with this guy. Lets do it guys!" Jack said.
"Right!"
"SPD, EMERGENCY!" they called out unison.
Within moments, all five them morphed, transforming into the power rangers. The red and blue rangers rushed it with roundhouse kicks, forcing Frax to stumble back. The pink and green rangers reached for their disrupters, firing at him. The impact was enough to knock Frax over, and the five of them stood over him.
"You are charged with violation of the time line, and the murder of Commander Cruger. Judgement time!" Sky announced, grabbing his morpher.
At that moment, a vortex opened in front of them, and he stepped out.
"What?"
"Another Frax?"
"That isn't Frax, its…" Jen was interrupted.
"Wrong again ranger," he picked the green ranger up by the throat, launching him across the room. "And Frax 2.0 will do just fine."
The red and pink rangers charged in to attack him, but he put a force field in place, knocking them both to the ground. With the rangers down, the future Frax stood face to face with Jen. "It's been a long time, its good to see you again," he said coldly.
"From my perspective, it's only been a few minutes," she brought up.
"Ah yes, the adverse effects of time travel. If it means anything to you, this will be the last time we meet," he said, grabbing her by the throat and lifting her up.
Just then, someone else came through the vortex, tackling Frax 2.0 down to the floor. It was enough to force him to let go of Jen, allowing her to catch her breath. Jen looked up, getting a good look at them.
"Katie?"
"Here, I have something that belongs to you," she said, tossing Jen her morpher.
"Okay, lets show the rookies how to do it," Jen said.
Katie nodded in agreement.
"TIME FOR TIME FORCE!"
Both Jen and Katie transformed into the pink and yellow rangers, calling for their Chrono Sabers. They charged at Frax 2.0 together, hitting a double roundhouse, but he managed to block both. Jen did a back flip, slicing off his right arm in the process. The severed arm hit the floor, and sparks shot out of it.
"Give it up Frax, you can't win this!"
"Don't over estimate yourself ranger," he said, holding him his arm, allowing them to watch as it began to repair itself.
"Well... thats not good," Bridge sighed.
Jack and the others regrouped, standing next to Jen and Katie. "Okay guys, lets show'em how we do it SPD style!" Jack said.
"Right!" they said in unison.
"SPD SWAT MODE!"
The five of them went after Frax 2.0, each of them calling for their Delta Enforcers. The yellow and pink rangers fired at the same time, knocking Frax 2.0 back. The blue and green rangers fired from opposite directions, stunning him again. Finally, it was the red ranger who rushed in with his Deltamax Striker. There was an explosion…
… but Frax 2.0 was still standing.
"Impressive light show, but now let me show you real power!" he said as laser beams shot from his eyes. The beams connected with the red ranger, knocking him across the room and up against the wall. Jack powered down on impact, falling to the floor. Z and Syd rushed over to him, helping him up.
"If this is the best you have, I will have no problem ruling this miserable planet," Frax 2.0 said.
Just then, the original Frax was back to his feet, standing alongside his counter part. "You mean we will rule this planet, right?"
Frax 2.0 turned to him. "I can't believe there was a point in time where I was this pathetic. I alone will rule this time and any other I desire. The rangers can't stop me, and either can you!"
"How dare you, I'm…"
"I know exactly who you are, and at this point in time, you're nothing. You're a waste of space that needs to be exterminated," he said.
Jack was back on his feet and about to make a move, but Jen grabbed his arm, tacitly telling him to stay back. All the ranger simply stood aside as both incarnations of Frax argued amongst themselves.
"Your upgrades mean nothing, I am the original, the first. Once I rule this time, you will be obsolete," Frax told him.
"You're outdated, and now, I'm going to put you out of your misery!"
The two of them stood ready, and Frax 2.0 made the first move, firing a beam of energy. Frax was able to reflect it, firing a shot of his own, but it simply bounced off his counterpart. He tried again, but this time, Frax 2.0 absorbed the energy, redirecting it towards him. The blast was enough to blow a hole in Frax' chest, sending him stumbling to the floor.
"You're pitiful, you know that," he said, aiming his weapon at Frax and firing. The beam connected, and within seconds, Frax was completely disintegrated, leaving only a pile of aches. "Now that he's out the way, I can…" he paused as sparks began to shoot from his chest. "W-What's happening?"
It was Jen who walk towards him, standing face to face with Frax 2.0. "With Frax gone, he'll never be able to evolve into what you are now. Your army is gone, your timeline will cease to exist, and so will you!"
"T-That's impossible. I am all powerful, all knowing, all…" before he could finish his sentence, there was a wave of disorientation, and in a flash of light, Frax was gone.
"POWERDOWN!" Jen called out, reverting to her Time Force uniform, walking over to Jack. "It's only a matter of time before the temporal displacement takes effect and this time line is erased. Before that happens, I want to say it was an honor working with you," she said.
"The honor was ours," he told her.
"And you should know, once you defeat Grumm and you step down, Sky will be an excellent red ranger, and SPD will get along fine without you, but you'll be called on for one more mission, probably the most important mission you'll ever embark on. The others will need you in their battle against The First. Just remember, when the time comes, she'll make the right decision," Jen said.
"Wait? What? Step down? The first what? And who is she? What decision…"
"You'll find out, in time," she sighed.
At that moment, another wave of disorientation washed over them, and just like that, they were gone.
Silver Hills, California 2001 AD"I should have told you this a long time ago; I love you," Jen told him.
"I love you too. I wish I could live another thousand years so we can be together again," Wes cried.
Finally, it took every fiber of her being to walk away, but she did, disappearing into a stream of pink light. Jen materialized on the time ship, taking the first empty seat she came to. The others were already strapped in and ready to go.
"Is Ransik contained?"
"Alex took Ransik and Nadira back in the megazord. They're already in containment back home," Trip told her.
"Good," she strapped herself in. "Set time circuits for the year 3000 and engage on my mark," she ordered.
"Coordinates set, ready for time shift," Katie announced as the ship began to lift off.
"Engage."
A time whole began to open, and the entire ship flew inside. The ship began to shake, and they all held on to the control panel in front of them, trying to stay steady.
"There's a subspace variance, something is wrong," Trip told her.
"What is it?"
"I don't know, there's a…" he paused, going over the readings again. "Whatever it was, it passed. It looks like there was a temporal displacement, but its been corrected."
Jen cracked a smile. "Good, lets go home. The future is waiting for us."
