Here's a fic that popped up while I was writing the other one. It's a short look at what would have happened if Ziggy hadn't made the choice he did in "Go for the Green". (Now can the other muses have my brain back, Ziggy?)

Playing Keepaway

This definitely had not been Ziggy's plan. He had distracted her, and Dillon did get there in time, but still, there he was in a tug of war with some Venjix Attackbot who called herself "Tenaya 7" over the Series Green morpher. It probably didn't help that the morpher had suddenly attached itself to his arm, as if he was supposed to activate it.

Ha! Fat chance! Sure, if there was no choice, he would, but he had confidence that Dillon would throw her off. There was no way he was activating the morpher, knowing it would bind him to it. Permanently. Ziggy might have been a little slow at times, but he wasn't stupid. He was no hero, he wasn't going to be a Ranger, he wasn't going to piss off Dr. K, he was going to get out of this with his skin intact.

With some effort, he pulled his wrist free of Tenaya 7's grasp. The effort threw him backwards, but at least the morpher was still attached to him. He dodged her strike, her attempt to get a hold of the morpher once more, playing keepaway until Dillon recovered.

And when Dillon did, Ziggy got out of there, because he had made a promise, and he was going to keep it.
