This is the ninth episode of my red ranger tournament, and the first one with an actual title. I'd really like to thank comicstar100, Silver Tyger, PowerRangerFan7, bjlovel, and everyone else who's replyed and gave me feedback on this fic, but it would be great if more of my readers would do that. Have fun reading :) .

Andros stood in the middle of the stadium, trying to get back to reality. He just advanced to the second round in his tournament, less then 12 hours ago he was out on a date with Ashley, and he still needed to find out who the thief was. He saw the five Alien Rangers, so Andros decided to say bye.

"Congratulations, and good luck in your future battles." said Aurico, along side the other Alien Rangers.

"Good luck in defending Aquitar." said Andros. "Good bye." The Alien Rangers all shook Andros's hand, and then teleported back to their home. After they left, Andros continued to think. He remembered not seeing Justin, Carter, or the three Time Force rangers before the battle, so he looked for them now. He couldn't find any of them, but he saw Alex in the crowd leaving.

"Alex, wait." yelled Andros from across the room. Alex turned around and saw Andros, and then he walked back to him. "So where is everyone."

"Lucas, Trip and Katie still aren't back, they still can't find what we're looking for." replied Alex. "Carter stayed in my room to make sure that nothing happened. He's one very dedicated ranger."

"Thanks anyway, could you wait a minute for me to find someone to replace Carter, he's probably bored just watching you." said Andros.

"I'll go." said TJ, almost appearing out of no where. "I should probably get to know Alex before I beat him."

"TJ, did you see Justin hear at all today?" asked Andros.

"Yeah, he was sitting by us the hole time." replied TJ. Andros seemed a little happy knowing Justin was there, and that TJ decided to watch Alex after being told about him yesterday. Andros then left the stadium to be alone. "Let's go to your room now I guess." The two red rangers walked to the hotel, and went up to Alex and Trip's room. Carter was there, lying on a bed. "Hi Carter, Andros won, and Alex and I fight in the next round. You can go now, I'll watch after Time Force."

"Thanks." said Carter who seemed relieved as he left the room. Alex got on the computer, and loaded files. On the main screen was a map of KO-35, with one blue, one green and one yellow moving dots on it. He also opened individual maps, one for Lucas, Trip and Katie showing where each of them were. After about a half hour, Alex seemed very disappointed, so he turned around and looked at TJ for a minute.

"Your the red Turbo ranger, right?" asked Alex.

"That's right, and the blue Space ranger." replied TJ.

"So he's the one that has Lightning Cruiser." Alex told him himself. "I also have a type of flying car. I think for when they battle, we should go outside rather then hold ourselves to the small space."

"Sounds good to me." said TJ. "So your from the future, does that mean you all ready know who wins."

Alex made a small smile, but it quickly turned back into a frown. "I decided not to look at who won the individual battles so I couldn't change the future, even though I will be later." said Alex.

"Well good luck tomorrow, you may have the better weapons and zords, but you better watch out." said TJ. Alex turned back around, and then continued to monitor his work. Alex stayed sitting in silence for two hours, as TJ stood next to him watching.

"What exactly are you looking for anyway?" asked TJ.

"That's top secret." said Alex. "If a mistake is made and can be fixed before anyone knows about it, then fix the mistake and no one will find out." Alex turned back to his computer and thought what the harm would be in telling just TJ. After thinking and working, Alex turned back around. "We're both extremely bored, and I guess there is no harm in letting you know, but you must promise not to tell anybody."

"I promise." replied TJ, glad he could finally understand what Alex was doing.

"Back in the year 2001 when Ransik launched his final attack, I ordered the four Time Force rangers from the future to return, since that's how history was now supposed to go. Wes was supposed to die in the past, meaning that I would've never been born." started Alex. "The four members refused to come back, until Wes tricked them into coming back. My four teammates refused to stay in the future, and demanded to fight for the past."

"I knew this was a possible for them to want to go back, so I found the best way I could help them. After doing a lot of research, I found a building that belonged to a big family that was destroyed in the 1700's. The people in that building would've had ancestors that would've been a grate help in 2001, and probably was the turning factor in the battle." continued Alex.

"I told them about this building, so before they went to the year 2001, they went back to somewhere in the 1700's to stop the building from being burned down. They were successful in doing this, but someone from the 1700's snuck onto the ship, and traveled with the Time Force members to the year 2001." said Alex.

"Since they were too busy worrying about saving the future, the female escaped, and was forgotten about. Since time travel shouldn't be in frequent use, we decided to come find her now while I'm in the tournament rather then looking for her as a mission in itself. When we got hear, we scanned on earth for her, but we couldn't find her. After searching the entire galaxy, we found her on KO-35. Unfortunately on KO-35, the security is much stronger, so Katie, Trip and Lucas are looking for her." continued Alex.

"She is somewhere in this system and we will find her. We will do anything we need to, to find her, and then kill her-" said Alex, before TJ stepped in.

"Don't you think killing her would be a little harsh?" asked TJ.

"For the past two years that event has haunted me. She illegally trespassed in my ship, and went to a completely different time. She's learned way to much, and somehow got to KO-35, when you are one of the first earthlings to ever set foot on this system. We've searched this hole place twice, and still can't find her. She's hiding from us, and must be stopped." yelled Alex. TJ was to afraid to argue with that, so he looked away.

"Good luck." shrugged TJ.

A hugh bang occurred as the door to the room came crashing down. Standing in front of the door was Adam, one of the most famous green rangers ever. "Your not taking Marissa." yelled Adam.

"She doesn't belong to this time." said Alex, learning that Marissa was the name of the trespasser. "We have to take her back to her time."

"That's not what you said before." yelled Adam. "You said you were going to kill her once you find her."

"That's what needs to be done." replied Alex. Adam had a scared, sad, and angry look on his face all at once. Adam put his two Zeo morphers together and morphed to the green Zeo ranger.

Adam slowly took his zeo pistol out of it's holster, and aimed it at Alex. Marissa showing up two years ago was the happiest thing that had ever happened to Adam. They quickly got married, and had lived a happy life to this point. Adam had been listing to the story behind the door, and had become enraged when he herd that they were going to kill his one love. "Promise me that you, nor any one else will touch Marissa." said Adam, sounding more afraid and sad then mad.

"I'm sorry, but this is what needs to happen." said Alex. Adam had his finger on the trigger of his pistol, ready to shoot Alex. Adam fired one shot, aiming right for Alex's head. Alex, who had all ready pulled out his Time Force badge, raised the badge in front of the shot deflecting it.

"Ahh, my eye." said TJ, as the deflected shot went right into my eye.

"No one can know what happened here." said Alex. "Hospital, my friend TJ just got shot with a laser in the eye, I will teleport him now." said Alex, as he teleported Alex out of the room.

"I will stand by Marissa, and I will make sure you won't do a thing to her." said Adam. "And if you lay one finger on her, I will kill you." Adam powered down, and left the room in tears. He felt terrible that he had just threatened to kill another person, but he had to do it.

Alex shut the door and fell in his bed. He felt like a complete jerk trying to take Adams love and then having TJ hurt his eye rather then himself getting hurt. He know had to deal with TJ getting disappeared, and now Time Force probably becoming the top suspects as the thief. He wished he could just return to the future now, but he knew he had to stay, the future depended on it.

Alex eventually got up and sat by his computer. "All of Time Force, return to the hotel." Alex went back in bed, and waited for the arrival of his team. A few minutes later, Katie, Trip and Lucas arrived in the room.

"What happened?" asked Trip. "Did we find her."

"Yes, and she's married to another power ranger. She's been in the hotel the hole time." replied Alex.

"So what are we going to do?" asked Lucas.

"I don't know." said Alex. "We all know what will happen if she stays, but I don't know if I can break up true love." Alex just sat their thinking. "Well thank you all for spending so much time looking. This mission is still top secret, but for now you can stay hear and have a good time." Night passed and Alex was too depressed to tell anyone that TJ wouldn't be able to battle. Luckily he knew that TJ's eye would be completely healed in two days, so the tournament schedule wouldn't be too off.

Alex walked with the three other Time Force rangers to the stadium minutes before what would've been Alex's battle. They meet with Andros and Joel in the middle of the stadium.

"Andros, I'm sorry to say but TJ won't be ready for his battle tomorrow." said Alex, while looking down by Andros.

"Why not?" asked Andros.

"I'm sorry but I can't tell you." replied Alex. "You should just postponed my battle, and have the next two rangers go later today. Also hear are the tapes, even though you probably won't believe them since TJ is gone." Alex and the rest of the Time Force rangers went to the edge of the stadium and sat down with the rest of the crowd.

"Say that Alex and TJ's match is postponed for an un-known reason, and that the next two people will face each other in an hour." said Andros after he turned towards Joel.

Joel ran off to get his hat, and returned shortly. "Hello boys and girls, this is the sky cowboy here with a little bad news. The fight with TJ and Alex has been postponed for a classified reason, so in about an hour, we will have a different match. The two people fighting in it will be Eric Myers, the semi-red ranger, and the obvious victor, Leo Corbett. See you all in about an hour and the sky cowboy is signing off."

During the hour most everyone sat in the dome and watched. Before the battle started, Andros checked to make sure that everyone was their, so no one would steal anything.

"Now that Leo and Eric are both ready, we are going to begin. The winner of this will face the winner of Wes and Carter, who will fight tomorrow or the day after. Leo vs. Eric begin." yelled Joel. Joel left the dome leaving Leo and Eric in the center.

"Good luck." said Leo, before he morphed.

"Quantum Power." yelled Eric, ignoring Leo. Eric quickly pulled out his only weapon, his Quantum Defender. He turned it into a sword and charged Leo. Leo decided to save his Quasar Saber for later, so he pulled out his Transdagger. Eric struck first, but with Eric's sword being much skinnier, it slid right off the dagger and hit Eric. He withdrew his sword and went for Leo's legs. Leo hit once with his transdagger, but couldn't put enough force on it to do anything.

Leo sprinted backwards and pulled out his Quasar Launcher to fire at Eric. Eric flipped to the side away from the shot, and changed his Quasar Launcher to the laser mode. He shot again at Leo's feet, so he would be less agile. Leo charged up another shot, but again missed Eric.

"Jet Jammer." yelled Leo, who knew he was losing. "He thought flying while shooting would work better then standing and shooting. Leo jumped in and started shooting at Eric, and finally started to hurt him. Now Eric needed a new strategy, but what could he do. All he had was his Quantum Defender.

"TF Eagle." yelled Eric, as now he was in his ship rather then on land. He shot two shots at Leo before the Jet Jammer crashed into the ground. He knew his Jet Jammer, Quasar Launcher and Transdagger were now useless. His Astro Cycle and Quasar Saber would also be in no help now, so he decided that their was only one thing he could do. Leo called upon his Capsular Cycle and hopped in. He knew that he probably would have enough armor to withstand attacks from Eric's ship.

"Leo, I suggest we do this part of the battle outside. This place is way to small." yelled Eric.

"You see what you can do about it." said Leo. Eric landed his ship and sent a message to Andros. Now, both the top of the stadium and the clear dome started folding up and landing on the ground. Now Eric and Leo had all the room in the world to fight.

Eric started to shoot at Leo, despite the fact that it wasn't doing anything. Leo didn't know what he could do, so he kept running his ship in big circles, trying to pick up a lot of speed so Eric would start missing. That worked, until the speed started making his ship fly, and burst to fire aiming right towards Eric.

Eric tried dodging out of the way, but Leo's ship crashed right into Eric's. Now both ships had nothing that would leave them in the air, so gravity pulled them both to the ground. Now both the TF Eagle and Capsular Cycle were un-useable, so both Eric and Leo came out.

Eric knew he was winning, so he decided to wait and see if Leo had any more weapons before he got out his battle armor. Leo pulled out his Quasar Saber, and got ready to charge. Eric pulled out his Quantum Defender, and was ready for another sword fight. Leo thought for a second about weather or not the Lights of Orion would be capable of coming and helping.

"Light of Orion, activate." yelled Leo, wishing that they would come. As hoped, they did, so Leo was ready to charge. Eric seemed a little confused, but tried to be ready. Leo came slashing right threw Eric's sword, and slashed Eric in the chest. Leo made a few more attacks before Eric was on the ground.

"Have any more toys, or should we use the armor now?" asked Eric out of breath. Leo responded by calling for his armor and transforming. Eric also transformed with the Red Battle Armor. Eric decided he'd have a much better chance if he were flying, so he went up in the air.

Eric continued to fly around to confuse Leo until Eric stopped in mid air. He was grabbed by Leo, and was then pulled slightly towards Leo. Leo was powering up a shot, so Eric started to also.

"Ready, aim, fire." said Leo, as both red rangers had a powerful beam of energy come out when Leo said fire. Both rays of energy melted the chain holding Eric, so Eric fell to the ground, as the two beams of energy combined and flew into space. Eric quickly got out his sword, and used his finishing move on Leo. Leo fell to the ground demorphed, and slowly got back up.

"Ready to meet my Q-Rex?" asked Eric, smiling knowing that he beat Leo in the regular combat, and that his Q-Rex could beat anything Leo had to offer. Leo called on his galactabeast, and jumped inside of it, hoping that Eric didn't have a very good zord.

"Q-Rex, arise." yelled Eric, as he hoped on top of his Q-Rex. "What is this, a joke?" asked Eric, seeing the small lion ready to fight. Leo sat inside his Lion, hoping that their was someway he could win. The lion charged at the hugh Q-Rex, but the Q-Rex just kicked at it making the lion roll over.

Eric picked up the lion, and put it up to his own face, so Leo and Eric could see eye to eye. Leo felt like the Q-Rex was a typical cat, and Leo was a caught mouse being played with. The lions leg swiped above the Quantasaurus Rex head, hitting Eric and making him fall to the ground.

Eric quickly stood back up. "Cheap shot, I'll show you to mess with my Q-Rex." Eric pushed a few buttons on his morpher so his zord would obey him from down there. The Q-Rex raised the lion to his mouth, and put it in between it's teeth. "Just tell me when you give up." yelled Eric threw his communicator.
The Q-Rex slowly bit harder and harder on the defenseless galactabeast.

"Fine, I give up." said Leo, as he shook his head. The Q-Rex took the zord out of his mouth and set him on the ground. Leo got out of his zord and stood by Eric, waiting for Joel to get on the field. Both zords slowly went back under the ground, and Joel ran on to the field as the stadium closed up.

"By another unfortunate forfeit, Eric advances to the next round. He will play the winner of Carter and Wes. Ether those two, or Alex and TJ will face off tomorrow, and the others will face off the day after that. If TJ is not available by tuesday, then Andros will get a second round bye and go into the semi-finals. See you all tomorrow mourning and the sky cowboy signs off."

how about if Lord Zedd, Toxica, Jindrax, and Vypra kidnap Andros, and Attack Earth at the same time?

Great chapter. Can't wait to see what is going to happen with Alex and Adam. I hope T.J. wins if he does face Alex.

ok here is a question who is telling the story the author or Andros?
cause if you use things like ...did you guys have a mentor...or...here is a box full of morpher take yours it kinda sounds like it is being told from a author/fan perspective,not that there is anything wrong with that but if the rangers are gonna be like they are on the show they wouldn't say that stuff

you asked for replys and i don't mean to sound harsh i am just being honest but it is a great fic i am loving it

packfan6
08-19-2003, 08:47 AM
I don't think your reply is harsh greenwc, this is the kind of questions I need to become a better writer. The author(me) is telling the story. I try to say the things the rangers would say, but it's hard for not seeing some of the series in years, and having them be on ABC Family so early in the mourning.

Also to let everyone else know, Part 2 of "For Love or Fate" should be up by the end of the day. Thanks everyone who have replyed here or on AIM, this is the most replys I've gotten :) .

it really wasn't my itention to be harsh like i said i really like the story so far it's really cool

greenwc
08-19-2003, 03:41 PM
also this is a pretty good fic with a story
and mostly i say that cause i don't really like fics that start out of nowhere with new rangers and zords and stuff without tellin you were it belongs in PR history

plus i am just a tommy supporter,any chance he will shift into turbo in a battle?

packfan6
08-19-2003, 03:46 PM
Yeah, Tommy will be using his Turbo powers at some point.

greenwc
08-19-2003, 03:55 PM
oh yeah and that part where andros gives tommy the black dt morpher,does that mean you are gonna write a DT fic after this or is it gonna like spawn from this?
OR is it just a tease?
