Plastica’s Time Force Adventures
The Age of Quantum
By Robert Gutheim

It’s a nice sunny day in Silver Hills Oregon as a few figures are walking through the city. One figure was in the Regulation Blue Shirt and Cream Pants of the 25^th Brigade’s Headquarters Staff. One was in a Dark Blue Suit with White Shirt and small DOD cufflinks and the last one was in a navy blue sport coat white and blue striped shirt and khaki pants.

"So Bruce, things going good?" sport coat asked uniform.

"I don’t know. There is some new team in town known as the Silver Guardians. I spoke with the sergeant and according to her findings they are bankrolled by your buddy Collins," Bruce responded.

"What are these Silver Guardians supposed to do?" Suit asked uniform.

"From what I could figure out they are supposed to arrest the mutants. They don’t do a very good job. The sergeant and her team end up having to do it. About the best the Silver Guardians can do is keep the Cyclobots under control. This man Jackson Porter was the original head of the Silver Guardians. HE was injured early on. After that this guy we haven’t figured out his identity yet took over. Our main check though has been on this guy Eric Myers. The sergeant ordered a full background check done on him. He is an old friend of Wesley Collins’s. He is looked upon by most of the local squad as a loose cannon. Ambitious for sure," Bruce said while showing pictures of the various individuals.

"Why do I have a feeling this Myers guy deserves a visit from me?" sport coat muttered.

"Good question Robert. Too bad Jessica isn’t here with us," suit said.

"I know Roger but she couldn’t get away. AS it is I had to play an official business card to get Chief Robinson to give me time off to come here," Robert said.

Robert then took a close look at the picture of Eric which was recent enough that it included a certain device on Eric’s wrist which most definitely wasn’t standard CGD issue weaponry.

Right then the three individuals walked past a limousine within which was Mr. Collins.

"Hold up guys. Roger cover me," Robert said. "Well Well look who managed to make bail."

"Yes I was that lucky," Mr. Collins said.

"How about taking a couple minutes to talk to us. How much time have the various Silver Guardians spent in Law Enforcement Training?" Robert asked.

"A few of them might be former police officers. Most of them I really can’t say. Besides they are a private security firm. They are hired by people to protect their property from this guy Ransik and his gang," Mr. Collins said.

"In exchange for Money probably. You realize that what the Silver Guardians is doing is kind of quasi legal since they are no Law Enforcement Training yet they are supposed to arrest individuals for committing crimes. Especially the Mutants that Ransik sends out. I think not," Robert said. "It looks to me as if you are once again interfering with official government business. You have two choices Collins. Either disband the Silver Guardians or risk being locked up for a time for interfering with official government business."

"You can’t make it stick My friend," Collins said.

"Maybe he can’t but I can," Roger said.

"Ah yes Agent Case the same goofball who arrested me last time. I hope you have a decent warrant this time," Collins said.

"IF it should prove necessary I will," Roger said.

"Mr. Collins you mind if we talk alone for a few minutes?" Robert asked.

"I’d rather not but ok," Mr. Collins said.

They then sat down inside Mr. Collins’s limousine.

"How is your relationship with your son lately?"

"Not god," Mr. Collins said. "He is still running around trying to protect the city as a ranger. That and working at the Odd Jobs shop with his teammates. You want to know the strange part?"

"Sure," Robert said.

"Even if it’s not the path I had chosen for him I’d proud of what he does."

"I don’t blame you Wes is really making a difference as a ranger. Something he might not have done for years if he followed your path. Besides who knows he might find his path is only a detour after Ransik is behind bars he might return to your path," Robert said. "I have an idea what your going through. My dad would probably be thrilled if I became an engineer yet I became a chemist. I was on a good path too when I was called away from Research to work Forensics. Yet everytime I go into battle no matter what the enemy is a Bank Robber, a common terrorist, or even Scum like Wes and his Friends are protecting the World from. After all Ransik isn’t after just Silver Hills he wants to rule the future by conquering the present."

"I see," Mr. Collins said.

The three Brigaders then headed for Nick of Time Odd Jobs. Inside Jen was working the counter.

"Hi Guys," Jen said.

"Jen, how much do you know about Eric Myers?" Roger asked.

"Well he is part thief. After all he stole the Quantum Controller from an archeological dig being conducted by an archeologist named Dr. Hammond. Thing is the Controller really belongs to Time Force. He refuses to turn the Morpher as it is now over to us," Jen said.

"I wonder," Robert said keeping his actual suspicions concerning a retired 56^th Battalion member to himself. "Sergeant, Roger and I have ordered the Silver Guardians be disbanded otherwise Mr. Collins would face some additional interference charges. We may need Eric’s help."

"Lots of luck. He won’t listen to reason," Wes said as he entered still in uniform.

"I’ll try to talk to him," Robert said. "Maybe I can get through to him. Maybe even through to your dad."

"Well Good luck," Wes said.

Robert soon pulled up to Bio Lab.

"Hello there," a guard in the front lobby said.

"I’m General Abernathy to see Commander Myers," Robert said.

"Hold on one second General," the guard said.

Robert kept his ring ready just in case he had to Power Up in a hurry. Eventually a female guardian with a blond pigtail walked up to him.

"General Abernathy?" She asked.

"That would be me," Robert said flashing an ID card Roger had made up with Robert’s Cover identity.

"Commander Myers sent me to escort you to his office."

"I thank you Ma’am," Robert said.

Fairly soon Robert was Escorted to Eric’s outer office. He quickly Stunned the guardian with a phaser and Powered up into Plastica.

"Ah Plastica I’m waiting to greet a General Abernathy," Eric said when Plastica walked in.

"You’ll have plenty of time to wait for him if you don’t do two things Eric. A give the order to disband the Silver Guardians since I doubt your boss will and two return that morpher to Time Force," Plastica ordered.

"Where would you make me wait for this General?" Eric wondered.

"Try in Leavenworth," Plastica said. "Right now, You Jack Porter, John Doe, and Mr. Collins are all up on possible charges or interfering in official Government Business. You of course are also up on possible Grand Larceny Charges for stealing your morpher."

"I would Love to know how you got past the guard at the desk," Eric said.

"I have my ways Eric," Plastica said as the female agent stuck her head in.
"Commander, We have to Deploy now," she said.

"Thanks Jane," Eric said. "Well Plastica, looks like Duty Calls," Eric said.

Soon as Eric was out of sight Plastica opened a communications Frequency.

"Roger, get a SWAT Team Ready. Also see if you can get a few Warrants Ready."

The Mutant in this case Looked like a Raccoon with a Skunks Tail and Smell.

"Oh man this is not good," Jen said.

"I know not even our helmets can keep the smell out," Wes said. "Where is a giant thing of Glade when you need it."

"Best part is it’s not only keeping us busy but the Silver Guardians as well," Lucas commented as the guardians were having trouble breathing.

"What’s with this guy Wes?" Eric asked as he walked up with his beret on.

"We don’t know. We can’t get close enough to fight him," Wes said.

"Well another two shoes looks to be walking around as I saw that doofus Plastica when he paid me a visit. Something about ordering the Silver Guardians disbanded because we lacked proper authority," Eric said.

"We’ll need all the help we can get on this one," Trip pointed out. "Circuit, Plastica is somewhere nearby see if you can find him and let him know we are dealing with a very foul gas."

"You got it Trip," The robotic owl called out.

A Short time later a Guy in Gray Armor which looked like real clunky diving gear complete to Tanks walked or rather hobbled up since he was wearing flippers. A few guardians were laughing at his movements.

"Sorry the minute word reached me of a foul gas being involved I threw on the only suit of armor I had which had a self contained breathing apparatus. I knew I would have to rely on a special supply of air," Plastica said. "Commander Myers, your men seem to have a problem with discipline."

"Oh go blow it up your pipe Plastica, I don’t need your reticule," Eric snapped.

"Plastica, thing it will be easy to take this guy out?" Jen wondered.

"I don’t know Jen. His gaseous odor alone is problematic. Agent Case is getting a SWAT TEAM ready but it will take time because of the gas. WE can’t use normal attacks," Plastica said.

"What if we used the Time Flyers individually instead of as the Time Jet or as a MegaZord. That might allow us to take him out without worrying about his stench," Trip said.

"I don’t know we take to the air and the Silver Guardians might get in the way a little too much," Plastica said.

"Glad to have your vote of confidence. IF you all decide to take to the air I have equipment I can utilize to join you," Eric said.

"I hope so Commander Myers because I’m going to keep my eye on you," Plastica said as his communicator went off.

"Boss is everything OK?" I/Oca’s voice could be heard.

"Not exactly my friend. I feel like a fish out of water having to use Aquatic Mode Battle Armor to fight a land battle due to a mutant with some serious odor problems. It’s even effects the Sergeant and her squad," Plastica responded.

"We are sending an assault team, should they utilize anything special?" I/Oca wondered.

"Yes anything like Scuba Gear which has it’s own Air supply we can’t relay on normal air due to the odor," Plastica said.

"OK I’m going to see if I can pull strings to get Jessica free just in case she needs to call Headset," I/Oca said for the benefit of any non cleared personnel around like Eric.

Fairly soon the First wave of Assault troops had arrived. They were decked out in Breathing gear like Firemen would wear. The Rangers then took to the Time Flyers and Eric to The Time Force Eagle. Plastica meanwhile switched to Supersized as the next thing they new Gasseron had removed his DNA Patch and grew.

"Time Force Megazord Mode Red," Wes Called out.

"Q-Rex Megazord Mode," Eric called out.

Fairly soon the Time Force Megazord was in it’s Red Mode. The Quantasaurus Rex was also on Hand.

"You Rangers better watch out that I don’t decide to suffocate you," Gasseron called out.

"Don’t bet on it," Wes said as the Sun Eclipsed to reveal the Shadow Winger arriving. "Shadow Force Megazord Mode Red."

The Shadow Winger then Combined with the Time Force Megazord.

"Blizzard Slash," Wes called out.

Fairly soon Gasseron was defeated.

"Whoa glad that’s over with," Katie said after Gasseron was reincarcerated in a Cryo tube.

"Robert, you tell Roger that the Silver Guardians will begin Police Training and as such will be laying low for a while. While it isn’t the disbandment you requested I think it will make a good compromise," Eric said.
