Yelena sat up, putting her feet on the floor. "We're all to blame," she said softly. She got up, slowly walking to the mouth of the base. She walked out, seeing Jameson sitting on te edge of the freshly dug grave, and she walked over, kneeling beside him. "Jameson."
"Yelena," Jameson said softly. "I'm sorry...I should have tried harder..."
Yelena was silent, wrapping her arms around Jameson. She didn't say anything, resting her head against his shoulder and closing her eyes. "We're all to blame," she said softly. "We're all to blame..."
Jameson shook his head, his hands clenching as he tried to keep his emotions in check. "Who....else...are we going to lose?"
"Nobod. You hear me? Nobody. We're not losing another goddamn soul to this fight," the White Ranger said.

I know, Harrison. I know... we should've... dammit!" Yuuga said as he slouched against the wall. "We don't even deserve to be even called friends."
"It sucks ass. We may not be able to make it right with Troy but we can honor his memory and avenge him. Mersess cannot be allowed to keep living!"

"Then you use this," Dahlia said. "Just like you did when Jameson died. Use it to light a fire under your asses in the next fights. Cut that bitch down and make her suffer." "Sounds like a fucking plan to me," Alison said, clenching her fists. With the Rangers suffering a devastating loss, the six remaining were in very different headspaces. They just had to hope that something good would come in the next days. _____________________ (OOC: Little bit of action before the fun really starts.) It's been a week since Troy's death and burial at the base. Jukanou had been sending monsters like crazy, and the Rangers were taking care of them with ease. Everyone knew that Jameson wasn't in the best headspace but nobody ared to approach it right away. THe Red Ranger yelled as he slashed through another creature, the monster snarling as it staggered back. "You an't stop me!" "I think I fucking can," Jameson said, his sword igniting and blazing white hot, slashing the monster's head off. The Red Ranger was engulfed in fire as the beast exploded, his suit falling away as he turned to face the others. "Jameson," Alexandra said. "We ever gonna get the chance to help whomp some of these things?" "No clue," Jameson said. He pulled his morpher out of his pocket, getting ready to leave before feeling Yelena's hand on his. "What?" "Jameson. You can't keep running after every battle. Being alone, left with your intrusive thoughts, it's not going ot be good," the White Ranger said. |

Since Troy's death, Yuuga began to take notice of the change of Jameson and it was worrying him and he wanted to say something to the Red Ranger but Yelena had beat him to it. He sighed, "Yelena's right, J. Seeing you like that isn't healthy at all."
Yuuga soon demorphed, stuffing his hands into his pockets.

"Everyone's right, J. You know this isn't the way to go about handling business." Harrison demorphed, folding his arms as he looked at Jameson with a sad expression.

"And drawing the battle out, letting more people get killed is?" Jameson asked. "I won't have more deaths on my hands. Not after Troy."
Yelena sighed, her hand clenched. "Jameson listen to me. Dahlia, on my orders, has been monitoring every single battle. Each time you morph, something is going funky with your powers. Again," she said. "I don't know how many morphs you have, but going this reckless is only going to get you killed. And I cannot live with that again."
"I did some calculations. There's no more morphs left. Because of the speed and power behind every attack, Jameson, you ran your magic out. Thankfully I was able to seperate the otehrs from you, so they'll still be able to continue, but...I don't have any solutions for you." Dahlia said.
Jameson looked away. "It's fine. Maybe it's my punishment."

"Hey man, let's not close the door on you just yet." Harrison spoke up, not wanting Harrison to wallow in despair or depression.
"Have y'all tried looking at J's physiology? Maybe something went wrong when you split from other you."

"That was the first thing I did. I even triple checked it. I don't have an answer."
At that same second, a portal opened. A man stepped out, and he looked at the Rangers. "I may have an answer," he said, lowering his hood as he spoke. Once the hood was lowered, the Rangers were face to face with another Jameson.
"Seriously? Who the hell are you?" Yelena asked.
"Jameson Rutledge. But I'm from Dimension 640. Trust me, it's just easier to accept taht there's an infinite number of yourself in the Multiverse. Same goes for all of you. I've seen countless Harrisons, Yuugas. All of you. I can help you get your mojo back," Jameson-640 said.
"How?" Jameson asked. "It's gone."
"Not permanently," 640 said. "You've got the power of the Phoenix in you. Constatnly rising from the ashes. You also faced down a Dragon and unlocked a new skill set there. And don't forget your work with the Dino Steel Rangers. And you led your team to unlock Mythic Ranger Mode, something a thousand teams of Mystic Rangers have thought impossible. Not many people could do that. None of the Jamesons I have met until now."
"What the hell do you want from me, man?" Jameson asked.
"I'm offering you a chance to level up. Merge the powers inside of you. Find the balance you're lacking, and maybe....just maybe get the weight off of your chest from everything that's happened. From your mother's turn and then deathh, Mayumi's assault and poisoning, now Troy. Your'e carrying the weight of your friends on your shoulders, and you're one tragedy from a complete breakdown. I've seen...forty-three worlds where a Jameson has sought out ultimate power to make sure his world is safe, but the power corrupted him, making him have to be put down. I don't think that'll be your fate."

"Yup. Definitely not our J. Ours isn't as gloomy with his sales pitch." Harrison spoke in response to this Jameson's not so upbeat vibe.
"What else can you tell us about this super grand fix other than a shit load of other Jamesons failed and went all koo koo bananas?"

640 smiled, pulling a small silver disk out of his pocket. Tapping the center, he tossed it onto the ground, an image popping up. "The power he's going after are books. Primative Dragon and Eternal Phoenix. Used together, along with the Sword of Eternal Flame, the two powers come together to create the Eternal Dragonix Warrior." Jameson raised an eyebrow. "What the hell does it look like a Kamen Rider for?" "This dimension, 201, instead of capes, wands, and hte like, the Mystic Rangers there used these books to harness stories to transform and fight back against Amaranth and then another enemy named Barbitok. Unfortuately, the Jameson of that world went mad when Barbitok killed his fiancee, and he stole the other Books, forming them into an unholy combination called the Grimoire. Jameson nuked Crescent City, killing Barbitok but becoming encased in stone for misues of the Magick. That's why it's going to be challenging to get the power, but I'm certain you can accomplish it." Yelena bit her lip, wrapping her arm around Jameson's. "Jameson..." She sighed, looking up at him and smiling softly. "Go. You have to. If this helps you, then we may just have a chance agaisnt Jukanou." 640 looked at Yelena. "Jukanou?" "Mmmhmm. When Jameson came back from a different Earth a few months ago, these bastards piggybacked off of him and set up shop somewhere in town. We've been fucking fighting them for months," Alison said. "That...is a name I haven't hehard in forty years," 640 said, folding his arms. |

"Okay back up a sec." Harrison spoke out, holding his left hand up. "So that answers the what but what about the how?" He asked before looked at his Jameson. "No shade, bro. I'm just trying to get some tea on the process or at least how the other ones screwed up so you're not casualty 44."

Jameson held his hands up. "No offense taken, brother. I want to know myself."
640 chuckled. "That's fair. The othrs wanted the Dragonix Power to take over their Earths, become the most powerful mage on the planet. Subjugate all that resisted, and all those that fought back were to die," he said.
"Yeah....I don't want any of that shit. I just want to avenge my friend and make sure Jukanou and his bastard companions can't come back," Jameson saisd.
"That alone makes you more then worthy," 640 said.

Yuuga folded his arms, "It sounds like you're the chosen one of some sorts," he spoke, looking at both Jameson and 640.

"Great...call me Luke fucking Skywalker then," Jameson sighed. "You guys sure you can handle things?"
"We'll be fine," Alison said
