The Web of Fate

Part 1

Summary: Jayden is taken into the past to the era of the Mighty Morphin Power rangers, and Rita takes a liking to his power! She kidnaps him, and puts him under a spell like Tommy once was. But this time, the only way to break it is to destroy Jayden…or he'll have to break it himself. Deker comes in at one point... I guess this is right before the samurai episode "Trust Me" and right after the Mighty Morphin' Green With Evil episodes. Oh hey, first, look at this cool sword:

(Unless the website doesn't let me in which case, sorry for the jumble of symbols that appeared as.)

P.S. I don't own ANYTHING!

ENJOY!

Jayden's POV

Jayden was walking through the park, towards his team. He had bought some popcorn, and was returning to the lake to share it. All of the sudden, some strange monsters attacked him. They were humanoid, but made of clay and only said nonsense. Jayden was about to morph, when a green figure jumped out of nowhere and began to battle the monsters. It was a green power ranger!

"Mike?" Jayden asked. He soon realized this must not be Mike, for the ranger didn't answer. A mob of the green things grabbed the ranger. He was stuck! Jayden took out his samuraizer and dropped the popcorn (nooooo!). "Samuraizer! Go go samurai!" He drew his symbol in the air and morphed. He took out his spin sword and quickly destroyed the monsters. The green power ranger said,

"Nice moves! Thanks for the help." He demorphed to show a teenager with long, dark hair. "I'm Tommy. Who are you?" Jayden stayed in his suit.

"My name is Jayden. I am the red samurai ranger. What were those things? Where are you from?" Tommy looked at Jayden with interest.

"The monsters are called putties. Rita Repulsa's minions." Jayden stepped back in shock.

"Rita Repulsa!" He gasped, "But she was the enemy of the first power rangers. That was many years ago." Tommy looked thoughtful.

"So Goldar sent me into the future," He murmured, "Maybe I can get help here." He looked at Jayden again. "Will you come with me?" Jayden demorphed and looked at Tommy with confusion.

"Where?" He asked. Tommy replied,

"I was sent into the future by a monster named Goldar. I need to get back but we need help. Will you come?"

Antonio's POV

Antonio was puzzled. He was in the park, watching the lake. Jayden should have been back by now with the popcorn. What if he had been attacked? He stood up quickly, startling the others.

"I'm going to make sure Jayden hasn't been attacked by moogers." He said in a joking tone. The others looked at him seriously.

"I'll come too." Mike said, standing up.

He and Mike walked towards the popcorn stand and stopped at the sound of urgent voices.

"Will you come with me?" One asked. Antonio didn't recognize this one. Mike shifted uneasily beside him.

"Where?" That was Jayden. They heard him demorph. A loud quacking of ducks blocked out the next sentence, so Anotonio strained to hear,

"I need to get back, but we need help. Will you come?" Jayden answered immediately,

"I have a team-"

"There's no time! Yes or no?" Jayden's voice was determined as he answered,

"Very well. Let's go!" Antonio and Mike ran forward to see a green clothed man holding Jayden's shoulder before a flash of light occurred, and they were gone. Antonio and Mike looked around desperately.

"Jayden!" Mike shouted.

"He's…gone." Antonio said, "But where?" Mike and Antonio searched some more before admitting defeat. They ran back to the others, full of confusion.

Jayden's POV

Jayden heard footsteps approaching Tommy and himself, but they were gone before he could see who. They appeared in a park, a lot like the one they had just been in, but it wasn't. "What have I gotten myself into this time?" He thought.

Tommy's POV

As soon as Tommy got to the park, he could tell something was wrong. It was silent. No one else was there. Tommy had been on his way to the library. As he walked across the park, he had noticed the odd circumstances and put his guard up. All of the sudden Goldar jumped out from a shadow and bellowed,

"Green ranger! Rita Repulsa needs you out of the way for our most powerful monster yet! Even with you, the power rangers would be defeated. But this way, it will be even faster! See you!" Then he shot Tommy with a beam of light and he disappeared.

He woke up in a bush, and noticed some puttied that had been sent after him. He morphed, but the putties seemed to notice something else, and ran towards it. Tommy looked and saw a blondish teenager around his age walking along a path. He noticed the putties and stopped moving. "A civilian!" Thought Tommy, "I can't let him get hurt!" He ran to help, but the stranger called him Mike, which distracted him greatly. The putties grabbed him in his moment of confusion, and he couldn't get away! The other guy took out a phone like object and shouted something. He traced a symbol in the air and morphed into a power ranger! The red ranger pulled out a sword and quickly destroyed the putties. Tommy thanked him,

"Who are you?" Tommy had asked.

"My name is Jayden," "Ha-ha," thought Tommy, "Sounds like Jason." "I am the red samurai ranger." "Samurai ranger? Just where did Goldar send me?" Jayden was very surprised when Tommy told him about Rita and Goldar. "So I am in the future." He thought. It was bad, but if he concentrated his power, he could follow Goldar's energy and get back. But he needed help. This Jayden guy had some serious power.

"Will you come?" And soon they were gone.

Jason's POV

Jason and the others were worried. Tommy was missing, and a monster was attacking in the park. It was green and shaped like a human, but it only had one eye. It called itself the Cyclops but…they couldn't beat it. They needed Tommy's help…but even with Tommy Jason didn't think they could win. But they had to! Then a flash of light nearby made the power rangers stop. The monster did as well.

From the direction of the light came Tommy…and someone else? In a red ranger suit! But this guy had a sword and was charging the monster. "Well," Thought Jason, "We need the help and this guy looks guy looks pretty good." The stranger slashed thecyclops, who cried out in pain.

"Ouch!" It growled, "That actually hurt! Who are you, and what was that?" Jason wanted to know the same thing. The man looked at the monster.

"I am the red samurai ranger! Here to destroy you!" With that he yelled, "Super Samurai mode!" and put a black box on his sword. A white cape formed on his back. He continued with, "Super Blazing Strike!" His sword was on fire! Jason found that really cool. Why couldn't his sword do that? The stranger struck the monster again who fell down in pain with an explosion. But it got back up.

"Ow ow ow!" It screeched. "I'm getting out of here!" It teleported away, probably to Rita's base.

Jason walked up to the stranger.

"Who are you?" It came out harsher than he meant it to. A flash of green lightly pushed Jason away.

"Jason!" Tommy said, "It's okay! He agreed to help." Jason was confused.

"Where did he come from?" Trini asked.

"Hey!" Zack said, "Don't talk like he's not here." He walked up to the stranger, "He just saved us!" He held out his hand. The stranger shook it. "I'm Zack." He finished, demorphing. One by one, the rangers introduced themselves demorphing as they did. Finally, the stranger demorphed. A dirty blonde teenager about their age was looking at them, shame in his eyes.

"I'm Jayden." He said, "Sorry." He received many incredulous looks.

"Wh-why are you sorry?" Jason asked.

"Yeah that was great!" Kim added. Jayden looked at Tommy.

"If I had used the shark disk as well, the monster would be destroyed. Then no one would be in danger." He ended the sentence with a growl. Tommy put a hand on his shoulder.

"It's okay." He said, "We'll get him next time. I think the team wants to know exactly who you are." Jayden looked at Jason. "I am Jayden, the red samurai ranger. And…I'm from the future." The MMPR team(except Tommy) gasped.

"How?" Billy asked. Tommy answered for him,

"Goldar sent me into the future where I met Jayden. He saved me from some putties. Then I asked him to help, and he agreed." Jayden said,

"I wish I could have told my team though. They're going to freak out, think I was kidnapped my moogers or Master Xandred or something." He frowned, "That's all they are worried about since they found out about the sealing symbol." He thought. Jason noticed the frown and wondered what that was about, but Billy interrupted his thoughts.

"Well, come on. We'll ask Zordon what to do next. How to get you back." Jayden shook his head.

"I need to help you defeat this monster first. Then will go back. No one will get hurt because of me." "Sheesh!" Thought Jason, "This guy is stubborn…but he seems to have good intentions." Jason nodded.

"Very well." He said. "But you'll have to stay with us until the Cyclops comes back. It could be a while. You will have to enroll in school." Jayden looked panicked.

"I've never gone to school before." He said. Zack looked jealous.

"In the future, power rangers don't have to go to school, but we do now? SO not fair!" Jayden still looked uneasy.

"Just the red ranger." He said. "The others do whatever they want until they are called upon. That was about a year ago." He said that a little bitterly. "I was taught everything a normal kid would learn, but learned to be a power ranger too. I can never escape it. I haven't talked to too many people in my life." Jason felt somewhat bad for him. Kim walked up to Jayden.

"Don't worry." She said, "School is easy." Jayden sighed.

"Okay."

Rita's POV

"That monster was doing so well! What happened?" Rita was furious. Her monster was amazing. Then came the new red ranger. "Hmm." She said, "If I could get him under my control…" She cackled menacingly. "Yes I will make him mine. With his power…I will be unstoppable!" Goldar approached her.

"But how, my empress?" He growled. Rita turned to him.

"I will take the parents of Angel Grove hostage. The power rangers will come to save them, and I'll take the new ranger captive." Goldar laughed.

"Brilliant, my queen. The Parent Day is going on in a week. We'll take them then.

"Yesssss." Rita said, "You will be mine, Jayden."

Tommy's POV

Tommy thought Jayden was pretty cool. He was selfless and strong. But Tommy could tell he was hiding something. Tommy could also tell Jason didn't like Jayden. Probably felt shown up. Whatever. Tommy had other things to worry about. Parents day was coming up and Tommy was going to feel awkward. His parents were…dead. The others were very excited…except Jayden. He looked even more uncomfortable when it was mentioned. If he was back home he'd probably see his own parents some time. At the end of the day, Jayden walked up to Tommy and said,

"This Parent Day is going to be weird."

"You can say that again." Tommy responded.

"My parents are dead. How about you? I can tell something's wrong." Tommy was surprised. He'd thought he had hid his discomfort well.

"Mine too." He muttered.

"If I'm still here on Parent Day, let's hang out." Tommy smiled.

"Great."

The next day was Monday, the start of a new school week. Zordon had made the school think Jayden was an exchange student. Jayden was really nervous, but Tommy thought he would be okay. After all, he would hang out with them if no one else.

Antonio's POV

Things were grim at the Shiba house. Jayden had been gone for a few hours now. He couldn't be reached on his samuraizer. It was like he had disappeared off the face of the earth. From what Antonio and Mike had heard, Jayden wasn't happy about his leaving. They decided he had most likely been blackmailed. Now they were simply wondering, "Is he okay?", "Where is he?" Ji was concerned that he had both the Shark Disk and Black Box with him, but Antonio thought he should care more about whether or not Jayden was okay. All they could do was sit and wait. Antonio hated being powerless to help his friend.

Jason's POV

As the sun rose in Angel Grove, Jason got out of bed. He was planning his day when BOOM! The memories of yesterday hit him. Jayden. The better fighter. Jason wanted to see just how good he was.

When he arrived at the school, he saw Tommy standing next to a very anxious looking Jayden. Jason couldn't understand why Jayden would be nervous when a voice behind him said,

"Stop glaring. He's already nervous enough." Jason spun around to see Kim. "He probably hasn't been around so many people before, all ready to judge him. And he doesn't want to mess up." Jason felt a little guilty. Then Tommy's voice said behind him,

"You and Jayden both have Chemistry first. Can you show him how to get there?" Jason spun around again. Jason agreed and he walked Jayden to the classroom. They entered and sat down together. The teacher walked in and beckoned Jayden to the front of the classroom. He then announced,

"Class, an exchange student will be joining us for a little while. This is Jayden." Jayden held up his hand in greeting. Most everyone in the class smiled at him in a kind way. Jayden looked a little relieved before sitting down again next to Jason.

Jason was very impressed at Jayden's intelligence. He knew everything. And since he was Jason's lab partner, Jason got an A+ as well. The day was going quite well so far. Jason thought it was odd how Jayden barely talked, and it was always serious when he did.

The bell rang, and they went to gym class. Tommy, Kim, and Zack had this class with him as well. Jason was finally going to see what this guy was made of. In gym today there were choices of sword fighting, baseball, basketball, and boxing. Most people went to baseball. Jason even saw Jayden look at the baseball area, eyes filled with longing. But then he shook his head and walked to sword fighting. The other rangers followed. They were the only ones who were sword fighting.

Jayden had a fire in his eyes as he picked up a wooden practice sword. He closed his eyes for a moment, then began complicated sword techniques, moving with a speed the others thought impossible. Jason wanted a spar with this guy. He grabbed a sword of his own and approached Jayden.

Jayden's POV

Jayden now sort of liked school. He knew everything in Chemistry, the gym had baseball…but he was a power ranger. He had to ignore his favorite sport. He picked up a wooden practice sport and began his usual warm-up. The others were silent, but he didn't know why. As he finished, he heard someone walking up to him. Jason asked,

"Spar with me?" Jayden nodded. The two faced off. Jason swung a blow at Jayden, who easily parried the strike and lightly kicked Jason in the stomach. He stumbled backwards, and attacked again.

The next few minutes included Jason repeatedly attacking Jayden, and Jayden quickly and easily beating him every time. Jason was frustrated, but impressed.

"You're incredible. I doubt everyone against you at once could do anything." Jayden's eyes gleamed as everyone attacked him at once, and he still won. For the remainder of the class, they trained together and not even Tommy, the sword guy, could beat Jayden. Once again they all went against him at once and a final spinning slash by Jayden activated some of his symbol power…he had thought about Deker for a second. His eyes widened as he noticed what he had done to the other's swords…they were on fire! Jayden calmed himself and the fires went out.

"Sorry again." He said. The others were still sort of freaked out. "I had someone unpleasant on my mind."

"You can control fire?" Zack choked out. Jayden nodded.

"Each samurai ranger controls an element. I have fire." Jason was still confused.

"Who were you thinking about?" He asked. Jayden narrowed his eyes.

"A man…a being named Deker."

:D Yeah so… there are only two chapters to this story, so I'll post chapter 2 like today or tomorrow since I already have it written I just have to type it. Hope you liked! The plot gets better soon, don't worry. And the other samurai rangers go back in time too…XD.
