Monday, January 31, 2022, 3:01 a.m.
I wake up to my phone ringing. I look at my phone and see my best friend TJ Sundermen is calling me. TJ is the nerdy type who loves computers. He's 35, caucasion with dark brown hair built tall and lanky (6'3" and 180 pounds). I look at the time and realize is 3 in the morning. I answer the phone anyway. "Hey TJ what's up? Its 3 a.m. man. Is everything alright?"
"Hey Jake." By the way my name is Jake Andrew Suhr. I am 34, also caucasion with dark brown hair though recently dyed a bright red color and I mean red not redhead orange color. I'm tall but big in the stomach (6'2" 370 pounds). "Remember the project I've been working on lately? The one I told you was a surprise?" "Um yeah. What about it though?" "I finally finished it. Can you meet me at the radio station on Delhi?" Delhi is the street near where we live that has a long stretch of road with a grocery store and several fast food restaurants and other businesses including his non-profit local radio station for the Delhi Township that he started. "Yeah I guess. Let me get dressed. Be there in 10 minutes."
I arrive at the radio station and look for TJ but instead I see what looks like the DeLorean from my favorite movie trilogy ever! "Hey Jake there you are." "TJ is this what I think it is?" "Yep. I know you are a huge fan of Back to the Future and I kept thinking with my love of computers and tech that maybe I could recreate it like in the movie but better. I even had my mechanic friends help me modernize it to include better horse power as well as fully functioning windows since before only the small section in bottom middle area would go up and down. I felt that seemed pointless unless you needed to slide your driver's license and insurance through it to hand to a cop after being pulled over." I was so surprised that I felt I was speaking Marty's lines. "I can't believe you made a time machine...out of THE DeLorean. But why would you make this? Not that I am complaining or not happy or interested mind you." He was like, "See I figured it would be a fun project because I love tech and computers and knew you loved scifi movies and just thought how cool would it be if I could actually make that." I then asked, "Wait this sucker isn't nuclear is it?" TJ was like, "What? No no no. It's electrical but for time travel it does require 1.21 Gigawatts of power which it achieves by pouring carbonated drinks such as your favorite Diet Pepsi into a tank as fuel not unlike pouring gasoline into a tank for fueling gasoline cars. That is then burned as fuel to power up the Flux Capictor which I made to look just as it was in the movie." Laughing at that piece of knowledge I said, "Let me guess when this baby hits 88MPH, I'm gonna see some serious shit?" He was like, "Oh yeah. LOL" "Dude lets hit the pike and get that baby up to speed. Shouldn't have to worry about the cops since we know where they usually are hiding not to mention they can't follow us to the future haha."
He and I get in the DeLorean. Me in the driver seat and him in the passenger seat. "By the way, Jake, when I said I modernized the car, I also meant that the car was converted from Manuel to Automatic since neither of us know how to drive a Manuel." "Dude that is perfect. Ok so I see the panel here, just like in the movie, shows us the time of when we are, when we're going to arrive and when we were. Our current time shows January 31st, 2022 at precisely 3:40 a.m. So lets really see what the future holds for humanity and in our case tech including my favorite hobby... videogames. I'm inputting our destination time for January 31st, 2122 at let's say 2:30 p.m. By the way in the movie it seemed they got lucky so please tell me you have the car set to place us somewhere that is not going to make us crash or worse merge us with another object when we time travel because I don't have to tell you why that would be bad." TJ tells me that he thought of that and made sure to add that little safety feature to the DeLorean's computer system he installed. "OK. Time circuits on. Flux Capacitor um Fluxing." I put the car in drive and hit the gas?...electric?...oh hell I hit the accelator pedal! We are quickly gaining speed. Within seconds we are at 20 then 40 then 60 mph. At this point we actually see a Delhi cop behind us with his lights flashing. I guess at some point we drove past one after all. We now are at 80 mph. I look over at TJ for a second before looking back at the road and I say "Let's see if Delhi's finest can do 90!"
Saturday, January 31, 2122, 2:30 p.m.
Within a few seconds, the DeLorean hits 88mph and after a second of a flash of light we see we are on a road that is semi empty and the car slows down on its own to ensure our safety. "TJ...we time traveled. Dude you fucking did it man!" "Jake I don't mean to doubt my invention but how do you know we really are in 2122?" "Well for one some cars are not on the ground but in the fucking air! I guess it helps to keep traffic down because it adds more lanes so to speak. Also so much has changed. I mean we didn't change where we are other than the year and time yet this area looks so much different. I mean look at these restaurants. Some I have heard of like McDonald's and KFC and our favorite chili place Skyline Chili is here still but they all have these signs that are just floating in mid air. Plus several other restaurants exist that I have not heard of before like Fish n' Fry, Steak Burger and Cosmic Pizzeria."
"So Jake before we left I forgot to mention but I left some of our currency from our time and several decades in the past in the trunk in case it's needed but thinking of the future, I put money into a digital currency or digital credits just in case its the way of currenty in the future since it seemed it was going that way in our time. I figured the money by the time we get to the future would compound and build up so much with interest and such so much so that we could afford any cost of items with inflation included. I made it so that we can access it whenever even decades into the future. No bank or human person needed to use it. We just spend it by accessing the currency digitally from the source it was saved and stored at." "That is smart man. Well lets see if Skyline is just as good as it used to be."
"Dude 100 years from our time and they still are amazing and delicious. Hey you wanna go check out what kind of tech they have here in the future?" "Yeah dude let's go to this science convention that I overheard someone at Skyline talk about when you were in the restroom." We drive over to this science convention where they have a lot of cool tech. We go and try several of them. There were some super advanced computers that my friend was totally geeking out over. Meanwhile I was checking out this gaming tech that was super advanced as well. Its what in our time we would call Full Dive Simulation or FDS. I tried it out and was able to do whatever I wanted like fly around, heal super fast and even change myself to how I wanted to look. In fact, a secret about me is that for the longest time I wished to be a woman in which I decided my name would be Kate Elizabeth Suhr. I made my self a lot slimmer as a woman of my height would look like if she were not necessarily athletic but not overweight either. Just the right amount of curvyness. I made sure I had D breasts but nothing too big like F or G cup sizes. When I exited the game, I was able to save my 'character' and was told that there was another machine that allowed people to change theirselves down to the DNA to include things like gender or even fantastical things such as flying or fast healing all traits that I made my 'character' possess. I got in that machine and told the person who controls it for me to use the character I created in the FDS game which of course included the abilities of flying and super healing as well. I paid with the digital currency credits that TJ was talking about and within 10 minutes in the machine, I walk out and was surprised at the woman I became. I'm not sure which made me excited and happier. Being a woman finally in everyway I've ever dreamed of or being able to fly. Needless to say I was for sure the happiest I've ever been.
I head over to the tech TJ was looking at and was like "Dude I fucking love the future!" He turns to me and says, "Um do I know you?" "Oh of course duh! You don't recognize me. Ok so I am or rather was Jake. Before you say that is impossible I want you to remember where or rather when we are. I found this cool FDS gaming machine that not only allowed you to play a game Matrix like style but also after, if you wish, you could input that character into another body changing machine that actually alters your DNA. After like 10 minutes I was changed into this." "OK I believe you since no one else would know when we came from as time travel isn't something they've created from what I have seen but why would you want to make those changes?" "So I've not told many about this but I've really felt inside that I should have been a woman and I've always hoped to become one. To be honest that and the video game was what I was hoping for when we time traveled. I mean time traveling on its own is super cool but this was what I was truly hoping would be possible." "Dude I had no idea. Well I'm happy you can live your as your true self and you look very beautiful. I'm truly am happy for you. If you don't mind me asking though, do you like guys, girls, or both? Not judging of course. I'm just curious." "You're ok. I don't find men attractive but I do love women. I think they are gorgeous! It's just that I have longed to be one myself for such a long time."
As we were about to leave, I noticed this machine that at first glance I thought was a microwave but the person who was talking about it, said it was designed to look like microwaves of the 21st century but with a more modern look and that it actually created food and drinks. Any thing you would want to eat or drink. Just press the voice button and say what you want and it will create it for you in 30 seconds. He said it doesn't use electricty but rather it utilizes the air that is already surrounding it for power and the source of what generates the food and drinks is a never ending source that they discovered in the early 22nd century that they call Infinitium. TJ and I both agreed we need to buy one each though best to keep it a secret and just tell people its a futuristic looking microwave.
As we were leaving TJ suddenly realized something important and asked, "So what about when we're back in our time? Like how will you show or proove to those who know you formerly as Jake but now are still you but somehow a woman named Kate? What about the government? How will you explain it?" "Shit! I didn't even think of that. I just knew I couldn't pass up this opportunity. Well as far as everyone I know, I guess I can just try to prove it to them by telling them things only I would know. Maybe you could tell them its true and add to the credibility of it all." "As for the government, I'm not really sure. Fuck!" "Don't worry Kate. None of that will be necessary." I turn around to see who said that and notice a strange lady who said she recognized us and that she was supposed to give me a briefcase that I was not to open til I got back to my time. "How do you know we are from the past? What do you mean that won't be necessary? What do you mean wait til we are back to open the briefcase and what is in there anyways?" "When you open it back in your time and when the time is right, you will see a hologram of me telling you about what you will find inside it. When you get back to your time, open it and you will know everything you need to know. Trust me. You will need it. But wait til the time is right. You'll know when that time comes. If I don't give this to you it will create a paradox but I can't say much more at this time." "Oh....okay? I guess I'll take it then. I'm assuming that it contains the secret of how to get around the government and my friends not believing I am me but now female." "Actually no. The briefcase contains something else that is bigger than just you and TJ though it does include the two of you...and others. No as far as your friends and the government I have something else for you. If you insert this USB drive into your computer when you get back to your time, it will automatically update all the files and documents pertaining to you as Jake Andrew Suhr a male to now become Kate Elizabeth Suhr a female. Unless they knew you as a male before, no one will notice there was a change. Next time you get your license updated, the system will see you as female. Your vehicle will be registered in your new name and gender as well. As for your friends, well just show them this video which I was able to get for you from the body changing machine. It shows you entering the machine and then exiting as a female. They usually ask if you want to keep the video as a keepsake of sorts but must have forgotten this time. You can your friends and family that its a top secret experimental tech machine that you were asked to participate in since you are on sites like BigCloset and were seen as someone who would be interested to participate in the experiment machine. Just let them know they have to keep the secret for believabilty sake." "Thank you...I mean this is so amazing. Thank you very much" "No thank you. Um you'll see why soon enough. You, TJ and others have much importance and greatness soon to come. OK I gotta go...By Kate and TJ. It was an honor to meet you both in person."
We get back into the DeLorean. "OK TJ. The future was awesome and a bit overwhelming to say the least but I am glad we came. Let's head home..err our home time I mean. The current time is 8 p.m. and we departed last at 3:40 a.m. We don't want to arrive at that time because we will just reappear where we disappeared and the cop will be behind us. Let's actually input the destination time to before you even called me. That will allow us to not be anywhere near the cop or our earlier selves not that we'd recognize me anyways but still. We want to make sure they don't see us or it could cause a paradox just like the one that strange lady was talking about. If they see us, they may not drive into the future which would cause so many problems. The consequences of which are unfathomable but for sure bad to say the least. OK. You called me at 3:01 a.m. and I arrived about 3:11 a.m. so I'm setting the time for 3:20 a.m. When we get back, we'll park somewhere and wait for ourselves to leave the radio station and time travel to the future and then we will go around the front and inside your radio station."
Monday, January 31, 2022, 3:20 a.m.
"Dude. We did it! We're back!" TJ said. "Man I loved the future but it feels good to be back in our time. OK let's head to the area behind your radio station so we can be out of sight and after they leave we will head inside. Also we probably should cover the DeLorean so the cop doesn't somehow find us and give us a ticket despite not knowing how we disappeared in front of him and reappeared here later." "Great idea. Definitely don't want a ticket or to have to try and explain how or what happened. Eventually he'll probably just assume it didn't happen or something. Plus no one would believe him I'm sure."
Our past selves left so we get out of the DeLorean and cover it up then head in the radio station. We get his computer out and after turning it on, I insert the USB drive. Sure enough as the strange lady said, within seconds all files and documents showing my former name and gender are changed in front of my eyes. "Well TJ. It looks like Kate is now official. Just have to show my family and other friends plus my employment. I'll explain that I was able to have it all changed legally and just leave out the details of the USB drive." "Sweet. OK now what about the briefcase? She said to open it when we are back in our time right?" "Not exactly. She did say to wait til the time is right and that we will know it. I say we should wait til that time comes. Besides after all this time traveling, I am super tired. Plus even though I woke up at 3 a.m. and it's only 4 a.m., we've been up for several hours due to time traveling. I'm gonna go home and head to bed. I should be able to avoid my parents for the night until tomorrow when I can show them the proof I am still me but now female. I'll call you tomorrow. Good night man." "Good night Jake...I mean Kate." I smile at hearing my preferred name and head home. I'm so happy being female that I almost couldn't go to sleep but I wasn't kidding when I told TJ that I was exhausted. Soon enough I was out like a light. I was having the best dreams ever that night!
To Be Continued in Power to the Future part 2!
Author's note: This is my first work of fiction. I've wanted to come up with something but I'm not the greatest at writing stories. I wrote this story based on how I feel inside and how I wish I could be turned into a genetic female. I thought about the ways it could happen (outside of reality of course) and decided the only thing that seemed different from other stories is using time travel which allowed me to use inspiration from my favorite sci-fi movie Back to the Future of which disclaimer I don't own any of the characters or anything from the movie trilogy.
I so far have one more chapter that I have yet to write but involves using inspiration from my favorite show as a kid. If you have any tips on the story please let me know. I'm not sure how this will look after I post it but hopefully it will be printer friendly though if not let me know and let me know how to make future stories printer friendly.
Thanks, Kate :)
Monday, January 31, 2022, 12:00 p.m.
I wake up and at first think it was all just a dream. "I mean" as I start talking out loud to myself "what are the odds that one of my best friends just so happened to recreate the DeLorean and it actually travels through time! I mean that has to be my subconcious making it all up right?"
But as I started say that my voice sounded ever so strange. I get up to find a mirror and feel like I'm about to fall over as I somehow did not notice these two extra mounds of squishy flesh on my chest. Actually I would have for sure fell over except I was able to stop my self while in mid air. I balanced myself back onto my now delicate and pedicured feet. I guess I really can fly now. Neat! I then make my way over to the mirror and notice that I have what appears to be C maybe even a D cup breast size.
At first I was so scared of it all being true. I mean this was a big change for me. I quickly thought about it though and remembered this is all I could ever have wanted. I am now a genuine biological female with flight and superhuman healing to boot! I decide to take a nice hot shower and while cleaning myself up I couldn't help but explore my new body to see what experiences came with it. I get out of the shower and pat dry myself off with the towell and blowdry my hair.
I get dressed in just a pair of jeans and tshirt though its all a bit large on me now. I lost a lot of weight so I had to find some older clothes of mine before I gained a lot of the weight I used to have. After getting dressed, I went and found my parents in the living room and boy did they get a shock of a lifetime.
"Hey Mom. Hey Speedy" Speedy is my step-dad. His real name is Elmer Jr but everone calls him Speedy. "Please don't freak out."
"Who are you and how did you get in here?" Mom said. "You are trespassing!" Speedy said. "Get out before I call the police."
"WHOA! Hey relax! I promise you I am not trespassing. Look it's a long story but I am your eldest child except I am no longer your son but rather your daughter. Please call me Kate."
"What? I only have one daughter and her name is Aubree. My oldest is a boy named Jake but I don't have any daughters named Kate." "Mom it is me. I was Jake. Look ask me anything only Jake would know." "OK. When Jake was about 6 years old he got a scar on his upper right leg above the knee. It was about an 2 inches or so in length. How did he get that scar?"
"You mean this scar?" I lifted up my pant leg of my right shorts. I had on a pair of khaki shorts which was more comfortable than jeans since it was feeling warmer out today. "I got this scar because as a kid I was dumb enough to try climbing a barbed wire fence thanks to my cousin talking me into it." Mom couldn't believe it. She asked, if I am Jake then how is all of this possible?
"Well you see, it all started with TJ calling me last night in the early morning to see what he had been working on." I told her the rest of the story from last night's crazy adventure and told her she can have TJ come by to prove it if she didn't believe me or better yet the Food Drink Fabricator which I told her can make any food or drink desired. I told her that when the machine made me female, it left certain shall we say imperfections such as scars since I felt it would help add plausability to my story. I repeated the same story to my grandparents when I saw them later that day.
Later on after seeing my grandparents, my sister came home and before I could explain who I was and such, we saw on the news some weird space craft was hovering over us and causing havok on the city. It was at this time I told my sister that to meet me in the back yard and I will explain my identity but first I needed to grab something.
I quickly run to my room and grab the briefcase thinking to myself 'If this isn't the time I will know to need this briefcase, then I don't know when that time will ever come. This HAS to be the time the strange lady was talking about.' "Aubree trust me. Follow me to the back yard. I have to do something but I will try to explain it all to you."
We go to the back yard and I tell her that I used to be her brother but now I am her sister. Before I could go into too much detail, we both are in shock of what we see after I opened the briefcase. Inside are 9 hexagonal-ish devices each with a sort of strange wrist watch device though it does not tell time at all. Each one has a name labeled above the devices along with a hologram. The hologram says, "Kate, the time has come for you have opened the briefcase. I am now teleporting you and your sister to another location in which everything will be explained."
Suddenly, Aubree and I in what must have looked like a yellow and white pillars of light are teleported to a darkish area that has some state of the art computers and some bright lights in the corners along with a giant size tube in the center. Seconds after we arrive, we see pillars in Red, Pink, Black, Purple, Green, Orange and Blue lights materialize. The pillars of materialized light sudden become 7 of my friends that I know from either high school or work.
"Cassie, Amelia, Erika, Avery, Dan, Heather and TJ? What are you all doing here? Actually come to think of it do you know where here is Aubree?" All of us were just as confused and clueless to where or how we got there. Though subconsciously I was getting a pretty good idea.
"I have no idea. Wait! OK. I need to know something. How are you Jake and what do you mean you are now my sister? Basically prove it to me so I know without any doubt." Aubree asked. The others aside from TJ also are wondering that as well.
"OK" I start to explain the whole story and as I do so I start smiling uncontrollably while looking at my sister. "and then TJ and I arrived back here with this briefcase." "Yeah that is for sure him...err her. One thing that my brother could never do is tell me something without smiling even if it is supposed to be something serious and not remotely funny. It's like a weird tic he has only when telling me something but never with anyone else." They all then give me a hug and are happy that I am finally able to be happy as my true self.
"I'm sure you are all wondering why I brought you here." The strange lady said who I now realized was some kind of hologram/recording. She left the briefcase where the hologram was being displayed and put herself inside the giant tube in the center and continued speaking. "As you are probably aware by now, the Earth has been invaded by evil aliens whose sole goal is to conquer and enslave the Earth. In my time, you all have taken part in one way or another in helping to fight off the evil invaders and save the planet."
"I'm sorry but who are you?" Some of the girls asked. "Yeah and why us?" "Yeah what exactly are we supposed to do?"
"Sorry allow me to introduce myself. My name is Zordonna. I am from the year 2122. Kate and TJ have already met me as I had to give them the briefcase to make sure not only is the planet safe but the timeline as well."
"Wait! Hold up." I said. "How are you answering us? Up until this point I thought you were just a recording?"
"The computers you see before you are recording the conversation and which in my time has been discovered. This of course is all before I handed you the briefcase and the devices inside have been created. So all I have to do is reply to what you all say as the transcript of the recording shows and then put it in the briefcase along with the devices inside to eventually give to Kate. Before you all get confused let me explain. I know its all so confusing. Time travel rules and all. Basically as you are hearing me speak, I have yet to make the devices you see before you let alone give all of this to Kate. One day though I will have done so. No matter how long you will be fighting these aliens, all of this will one day be over with and I will be recording these voice entries to make it seem like we are talking in real time. This is how in my time you 9 have saved us all. This is how I knew I had to have the briefcase ready to be handed to Kate as I knew she would have arrived in my time."
"As far as where you all are, you are in a sort of pocket dimension that later down the line, I was able to find to collect the transcript. This is the base of where we will meet. We have a monitoring screen that we can use to see the Earth to know when exactly it is being attacked which is precursed with an alarm to alert us. As far as how you can help well I think by now Kate has a pretty good idea. Kate why don't you tell them."
"So I was right! Ok guys. So as a kid I was really obsessed with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and always hoped that could be me one day. Now it seems that has come true. Inside this briefcase is what I can only assume are our morphers and communicators. Communicators if you all are not familiar with the show allowed the Rangers to talk to each other as well as teleport. Even though the former we can do easily with phones nowadays, we cannot use our phones to teleport. Plus this will be better than our phones for speaking as it cannot be hacked due to the tech being from the future."
I start handing out the morphers to the others. "Cassie, you get the Pink Ranger's morpher and communicator. She has the power of the Pterodactyl and uses the Power Bow. Sis you have the Yellow Ranger's morpher and communicator. She has the power of the Saber-Toothed Tiger and uses Power Daggers. Avery dude you have the Blue Ranger's morpher and communicator. You have the power of the Triceratops and use the Power Lance. Dan, Black Ranger. Mastadon and Power Axe. Heather, Red Ranger. Tyrannosaurus and Power Sword."
I keep looking at the briefcase and noticed that in addition to the above 5, there are 4 more morphers. "Amelia you have the Orange Ranger's morpher and Erika you have the Purple Ranger's morpher? Hmm. The original show never had those color rangers before."
"Amelia" Zordonna says, "Orange has power of the Stegosaurus and the Power Whip Blade. Think of the weapon as the kind used by Ivy in the fighting game Soul Calibur. Erika. Purple has power of the Brachiosaurus and the Power Staff. With that weapon you can shoot out beams of pure Purple energy. In fact all of your weapons can be charged up for non-melee attacks though you also will have laser blasters you can use which also have a short knife like form to them if needed."
"Which leaves just 2." I chime in. "TJ you have the Green Ranger's morpher. It contains the power of the Dragonzord which is basically like Godzilla and with it the Dragon Dagger. In time you'll find it's more than just a weapon but rather an instrument of great power. And then there is me. I have the White Ranger's morpher. With it is the power of the Tigerzord. My weapon is an enchanted talking saber known as Saba."
"TJ if you don't mind. With your knowledge and skills in computers, I would ask that unless needed, you stay behind and help here until needed. Avery I know you are also great with computers so your help will also be much appreciated though you may be needed in the field more often." Zordonna suggested.
"OK. Everyone. Equip your communicator on your preferred wrist. Then grab your morpher and in order to morph you must call out the emblem on the power coin in your morpher aka the dinosaur that you draw your power from. In our case TJ not a dinosaur exactly but you get the idea."
"OK guys." I say as I grab my morpher and prepare to morph. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!!!"
Stay tuned for Power to the Future part 3.
*Author's note: I don't own any of the original characters from the Power Rangers that I am taking ideas from or what not. Also I wanted to say that the idea for the brief case that was handed to me (I mean my character of me) was taken from an episode of Doctor Who. In the episode, this girl and her friend watch this video that seems to be the Doctor talking to her even though its a DVD. The video helps them to survive these Weeping Angel creatures and her friend writes down everything that is said by the Doctor in the video as well as what she says in replying to the Doctor. She later sees the Doctor though the Doctor hasn't yet made that video and she hands him the transcript of their dialog which is important because that is how the DVD was able to be made and appear to be talking to her. Basically if the briefcase given to me was not ever given, I would not have been able to do what the future said I would be fated to do. Again I suck as a writer and just making this story so I can say I finally wrote a story and not keep talking myself out of writing one. This story overall is some what of a nerd fan fiction compliation of Power Rangers and Back to the Future. Hope it isn't as boring and nerdy as some of my irl friends might think. OK end of Author's note. Btw this was only meant to be a 2 parter but I feel I should make a part 3 and let this part end here.*
