Power Rangers: Chrono Storm (Game)

"It's a risk for sure. Depends on how much this point in time will affect everything. I think Teo is trying to prove a point. I just hope its not all for nothing and we end up worse than we are." Leon stated as he sat next to Lalah.

All Lalah could respond was a nod of agreement to Leon since it's the only answer that made sense to all that. Eventually, everything went a blur. Once Patrica gained stability following the explosion, the Pink Ranger managed to rise from the floor and gazed at Mateo with a wild expression. "I am definitely alive. This ride becomes too wild for me to handle." She said, exhaling heavily.

"A different setting beyond my year? Surprise me." Lalah smirked. While waiting for the others respond, she turned her head around to watch the heartfelt reunion between Augustus and Titanus. As sweet as it was, she wondered about the impact of the timeline for saving Titanus.

"Yeah, seeing as I scooped you up in the early 60s, you missed a lot of stuff." Mateo said, recalling the trip. "But first..." Mateo turned his attention back to the warm and fuzzy reunion.

"What will you do now?" Augustus asked.

"Simple. My Rangers are still in deep shit and knowing them, they've gotten themselves fucked up being reckless, so I need to help them." Titanus responded.

"Excellent. I shall aid you in conquering this foe!"

"That's okay. I have the feeling I've already caused enough problems." Titanus placed his hands firmly on Augustus' shoulders. "I'm proud of you. Like me, you have a second chance. Don't waste it."

Augustus wiped his eyes. "I am a man of my word."

Titanus smiled. "Captain? Sorry for being a pain in the ass, but can you drop me off?"

"Sure. Sensei get us back to the same day, maybe an hour or so from when we were there before." Mateo gave the command.

"No can do, my boy. That explosion messed with my targeting settings. I can get him close, but it wouldn't be same day." Sensei explained.

"How close can you get me?" Titanus asked.

"A couple of days. A week tops."

Titanus sighed. "Beggars can't be choosers. It'll have to do."

Mateo nodded. "Hit it!" With that command, The Patricia flew back to 2024, dropping off Titanus and leaving him to his fate. Hopefully he's not too late to aid his young friends. After dropping him off, the team retreated back into the time stream. Augustus while slightly saddened, looked relieved, given recent developments.

"Sir Mateo, fellow knights. I thank you all for the opportunity to live again. My sword is yours for as long as I draw breath!" Augustus said to the team, giving a slight bow.

Augustus was taken aback when he heard someone outside of his band of friends refer to him as Auggie, seeing as it was a childhood nickname, but he opted not to make a fuss about it.

"I suppose that'll be alright, man of green." Augustus turned his attention to the ladies, Samara in particular. "Fair maidens, rest assured, should you require aid, please do not hesitate to call upon me." The new Gold Ranger walked up to the Black Ranger, gently kissing her hand in an old-school, chivalrous manner.

"That's gonna go over well..." Mateo spoke in a hushed tone.

"Mm-hmmmm." Sensei agreed, recalling Leon's constant blushing.

Augustus turned his attention to the ladies, Samara in particular. "Fair maidens, rest assured, should you require aid, please do not hesitate to call upon me." The new Gold Ranger walked up to the Black Ranger, gently kissing her hand in an old-school, chivalrous manner.

Samara's face got red and she giggled, nodding as she looked at Augustus. "Anything you say, sugar," she said.

Ledger looked at Samara and grinned, snickering. "Oh, this is gonna be fun."

Now that Augustus has officially joined the team, the Rangers were stronger than ever. Unfortunately, the decision to honor the Gold Ranger's request and save Titanus would have ripple effects throughout the timeline for years to come. As for the Rangers, things were about to get much more lively on the Patricia with their new friend, especially with a certain Ranger whose envy matches his color.

********

A few weeks have passed since adding Augustus to the team and the Rangers have been intentionally staying busy. After deciding to break protocol and save Titanus, they knew they had it coming from the TMB and weren't in a rush to get back to HQ.

Currently, the team was spending time in New Orleans, Louisiana. They were enjoying the sights, sounds, and culture and just happened to be here at the same time as the Nitro Blaze Rangers who were dealing with a problem of their own. While tempted to help, Sensei advised against it, seeing as they were in enough trouble. Instead, they ventured to Bourbon Street, arguably one of the most popular destinations in the country for tourists who wish to party. Unfortunately, the party would be short lived as one of Calen's creatures dubbed Bandicoto was sent to attack after learning that a significant piece of Ranger history was to commence today. Together with the Dionauts, Bandicoto waged war against the Rangers, battling up and down the busy street with... interesting results.

With the team already morphed, the battle picked up the pace very quickly. For the new Gold Ranger, this was as much about continuing to learn modern day terminology and customs as it was fending off this creature.

Augustus threw a quick roundhouse, knocking down another Dionaut before tossing another over his shoulder, throwing it into some trash. Feeling accomplished, the Gold Ranger was caught off guard as he heard music from a local music artist.

"Excuse! I don't mean to be rude! Just gimme that mic and let me do what I do! Excuse!"

"Apologies, M'Lady. Pardon me." Augustus stepped to the side, prompting laughter. "Is something the matter?" He asked, looking around.

"Auggie, it's a song, probably being Bluetooth'd or something." Mateo performed a backflip then came forward with a drop kick, laughing at the Gold Ranger.

"Damn. The box of sound continues to play tricks on me." The Gold Ranger turned around and was forced to stop on a dime when a young woman was twerking in front of him. "Pardon me." Auggie pulled the woman towards him to avoid her from getting blasted. "This period has quite the unique music and culture."

One problem the Rangers would have to deal with is that the civilians are either too drunk or flat out think this battle isn't real, so they are continuing to party as normal, getting in the team's way.

Samara spun, her body seeming to move with the music as she slashed and attacked. "Back in my day, this was all Indian land," she said. "I think teh French had it!"

Ledger laughed, slashing down a Dionaut and moving with the music. "Sam, you're showing your age. "Back in my day", ok, Boomer!" he laughed, punching a Dionaut in the head. He laughed and yelped when Samara smacked him in the back with her sword.

"Sorry, Ledger. I thought you were a Dionaut," Samara said with a smirk.
