Controlled (book 1 in World between worlds)

Chapter six

Seeing that only one of the Winchesters were awake made everyone in the command center on edge. The only other alter ego that was left was Dean and his mind was still with that alter ego, all they were looking at was nothing more than a shell.

"But this is impossible," Trini said. "I thought we defeated both of them."

"It turns out that you have only destroyed the Navy Ranger, but that only means one thing." Castiel said.

"If Dean is still trapped as an alter ego," Sam explained. "You guys will have to be careful," he continued. "When my brother and I were jumped by other hunters a few years ago, they had to make sure they killed both me and my brother otherwise Dean would be hunting them down to the ends of the earth to get revenge," he kept going. "If the alter ego is anything like my brother, he won't stop until you five are destroyed." The rangers took all of this information in and wondered how else they could destroy Dean's alter ego. If he could survive their power blaster than what else was he capable of?

"Is there any way to outsmart him?" Billy asked. "I realized that the only way we were able to destroy the navy ranger was by using the art of the silent fist, but I don't know if it will work again," after saying that Billy suddenly got an idea. "Sam, how much do you remember?"

"I don't remember much, all I remember was getting sent into this world and going up against some witch who blasted my brother and I with a staff. Then I remembered waking up in that strange world," Sam answered and continued. "But I might know one way, I can pretend to be my alter ego and take him out, I don't like it but I've seen Dean take out monsters as a ten-year-old, this might be the only way."

"Ten years old?" Zach and Kimberly said at once, shocked after hearing that and the rangers glanced at Castiel wondering if that was true, when Castiel nodded, they finally understood why they were strong.

"You mean your father really taught a ten-year-old?" Trini asked. Sam nodded, not wanting to explain his tragic backstory to a bunch of teenagers he barely knew. He didn't like this plan because it involved lying and killing his brother, okay it wasn't really his brother but that didn't make things easier.

"Zordon, can he still use the power coin?" Jason asked.

"Only one more time, since it was connected to his alter ego, he can only use it once more before the coin is useless," Zordon explained. "So use it sparingly Sam, if you aren't careful it could kill you."

"Never thought I would say this but I'm going after a power ranger, which is the weirdest thing I've ever said," Sam said. "You guys are actually pretty cool." right on cue, the alarm had gone off in the command center causing Sam to flinch and cover his ears. Everyone turned toward the viewing globe and saw two different scenes one was at the wall where Baboo, Squat, and Goldar were readying the spell to summon Anna. In another scene, Alter Dean was blowing up anything he saw. He wanted revenge, that much Sam did remember, and it didn't look pretty if the alter ego was not destroyed then Dean would be trapped in Angel Grove for the rest of his life and they needed to get back to their world to stop their own malevolent entities that wanted to take over the world. "That's not good, I haven't seen him this angry since I went behind his back and worked with a demon."

"You worked with a demon?" Kimberly asked.

"It was a very complicated situation," Castiel answered before Sam could. "And he feels an immense amount of regret, in the meantime, you have to stop Rita from using the gate."

"You guys go stop her, I'll try to stop my brother, but someone will have to stay here in case Dean wakes up." Sam said worriedly. "I've already lost my mom and my dad, I can't lose my brother, he's the only family I have left aside from Cass that is."

"I thank you for that Sam," Castiel responded. "I will stay back with Dean, I think he will be confused once he wakes up." With that being said, the rangers morphed and teleported to the wall to stop Rita's henchmen from summoning Anna. While Sam was teleported from the command center and headed straight for the site which alternate Dean was currently in the process of attacking everything. Sam's stomach twisted and his heart sank seeing his brother like this. Even if it was Dean's alter ego, it was still his face, now Sam understood how Dean felt when he was possessed by Meg, and the demon made him do horrible things. Sam closed his eyes and changed his expression to match the evil ranger in front of him. Alter Dean took out his spinoblade preparing to attack anything, taking a risk Sam jumped in front of him.

"Having fun without me?" Sam asked.

"Sammy?" Alternate Dean said. "But how you were destroyed."

"Please they just grazed me," Sam answered as he rolled his eyes hoping that Alternate Dean would buy his act. "I just had to let them believe they destroyed me so I could find out how to beat them," he continued. "We have to stop them, big brother." Alter Dean paused and slowly approached Sam, unsure of how he should react.

"How do I know it's really you?" Dean asked and figured that it would be best to test him. He looked over at one of the civilians who was hiding behind a slide. "Why don't you morph and attack that person over there." Sam didn't want to hurt anyone but he couldn't blow his cover so he used his power coin to morph. He didn't feel any negative effects of it but he had feeling he would after he demorphed, Sam ran up to the civilian with his weapon. She looked up at him with terror in her eyes begging him not to hurt her, that look somehow snapped him out of his thoughts and he turned striking his weapon at alternate Dean instead.

"Rule number one of hunting Dean, don't trust anyone." Sam said. He told the woman to run away and she did much to his enemy's fury. Dean had a feeling that Sam wasn't to be trusted, it was way too easy and his hesitation to attack the civilian. Alternate Dean had flown back and groaned, smoke protruding from his suit. He growled and summoned his weapon. No way was he going to let Sam beat him. He attacked his own brother and the two fought, engaged in a battle, Sam fought back twice as hard overpowering his brother. Dean did a flying kick and hit Sam in the chest, but rather than sending him sprawled on the ground, he had easily blocked the blow by crossing his arms over his chest in an "X" form only sending him on his heels before Sam returned the favor and sent Dean careening into a tree. Sam walked over to him ready to land a final strike so that he could finally have his brother back, but to his shock, Alter Dean caught his weapon before he could finish his attack.

"Don't forget that I always kicked your ass as kids." He said. Sam was disarmed and Dean knocked him over using his own blade, Sam was injured but didn't give up quickly returning the favor by grabbing Dean's legs causing him to slip.

"I'll just have to use new ones then," Sam said as he stood back up. "I won't let you do this Dean, can't you see this is wrong?"

"You're the one who's wrong Sammy." Dean said and pulled out his blade before running at his brother and striking downwards, in response, Sam blocked it with his own blade. "This is better than how we fought originally, Rita is going to have so much fun ruling the universe."

"Then I'm sorry," Sam answered with a sad tone. He pulled away from Dean and taking inspiration from the rangers he jumped into the air tapping into the power of his coin to complete one last strike. "Carnotaurus final strike!" He exclaimed using every ounce of power he had to land a blow. It paid off as alternate Dean was forced to demorph and his body glowed a bright maroon color as he dropped to the ground, to make sure that he was really gone Sam shot the evil ranger in the head. Sam turned around as his brother's alter ego exploded and he demorphed in the process.
