DISCLAIMER

Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. V.R. Troopers, Big Bad Beetleborgs, and Masked Rider belong to Haim Saban and Fox Kids. And for V.R. Troopers, Kaitlin's costume was white with red trim while Ryan and J.B. seemed to have the same type of costume, so I apologize if differentiating between them gets confusing. Reference to "A Very Ranger Christmas".

Rita's eyes widened when she saw the dinosaur heading for her, but before she could react, Kimberly had latched onto to her wrist, breaking her focus and causing the wind to die down as well as forcing the witch back to her normal size. She started to say a spell but the Saber-toothed Tiger lunged at her, swiping at her mouth. Rita screamed and tried to shake Kimberly off, but the girl held fast as the other Rangers quickly surrounded her, as did the V.R. Troopers, Beetleborgs, and Masked Rider. The Rangers all charged at the witch, each latching onto a different body part as the V.R. Troopers, Beetleborgs, and Masked Rider summoned their weapons.

"How do we fire without hitting them?" the Red Beetleborg asked.

"I don't know," the Blue Beetleborg replied.

"At this juncture, it may be that we simply must take the risk," the Masked Rider stated.

"He's right," the White V.R. Trooper agreed. They called for their weapons, gathered up their energy, and aimed it at the witch. Seeing the incoming blast, the dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures quickly released Rita and lunged out of the way mere moments before the blast hit. Then, before Rita could get her bearings, the tyrannosaurus, pterodactyl, mastodon, saber-toothed tiger, triceratops, the dragon-tiger, the brachiosaurus, dragon, the stegosaurus, and the raptor latched back onto Rita. The Masked Rider, V.R. Troopers, and the Beetleborgs watched as various shades of light enveloped the ten and then entered Rita. The witch gathered up her magic and thrust it at the Rangers' energies. For a few minutes, there were the sounds of groaning as both sides tried to gain the upper hand.

"Should we help them?" the Green Beetleborg asked.

"I don't think they need it," the Red Beetleborg replied. They turned to watch the fight. Moments later, Rita let out one last scream before there was a large explosion. Everyone looked away. Moments later, all that was left was a pile of ashes. The Rangers changed back into their normal morphed selves.

"Did that…really just happen?" the Pink Ranger asked, sounding daze.

"It would appear that we've…finally defeated Rita," the Blue Ranger replied in the same tone.

"Wow. Congratulations," the head V.R. Trooper stated.

"Yes. I'd imagine it is quite a pleasurable feeling," the Masked Rider said.

"It is," the Rangers chorused. Then, they were all teleported back to the Command Center, where everyone de-morphed.

"Hey, I saw everything from the globe! That was awesome!" Josh told them.

"Thanks," Jason said.

"I just wish I could've done to more to help," Josh said with a sigh.

"Hey, you saved my life when Rita was about to kill me. Trust me, that was big," Tommy told him.

"Yeah. You were really, really brave," Jo added, looking at him with shining eyes. Drew and Roland rolled their eyes as the older heroes looked at each other and shared knowing smirks. It seemed that the girl had a crush on the boy.

"I just can't believe we all changed like that. I mean, I know Zordon said that Kim was extremely connected to the Morphing Grid, but I didn't expect anything like that," Rocky said.

"I'll admit it was a surprise to me as well," Zordon told them.

"Will we be able to do it again?" Kimberly wondered. "Because, truthfully…that was morphinominal," she continued.

"I do not know, Kimberly. Your ability appeared to come from intense emotions when you or your teammates were in extreme danger. Whether or not you'll ever achieve this again is uncertain," Zordon replied.

"Well, it was wonderful to see you all again Rangers, but I must be getting back to Leawood," Dex stated. Then, he teleported himself out of the Command Center.

"We should probably be getting back too," Kaitlin told them.

"Yeah, Jeb's probably worried sick," Ryan agreed. "And if you ever need us again, call us," he encouraged.

"Zordon, I know in the past when people have discovered our identities, they've had to take the oath, but they're-" Kimberly's question trailed off.

"After our initial encounter with them all and seeing as how they all have their own identities to protect, we have determined that there is no reason for them to take the oath," Zordon answered.

"Well, you don't have to worry, we don't reveal your identities to anybody," Jo quickly spoke up.

"And we'll keep yours a secret as well," Jason assured.

"Well, it's good that we got this out, but how do we all get back to our towns?" Kaitlin wondered.

"The same way Zordon and I brought you here: we'll teleport you," Alpha replied.

"Oooh, I don't know if I really liked that feeling," Jo stated, biting her lip.

"Hey, relax. It didn't hurt us the last time and I'm sure we'll be fine," Josh assured, placing a comforting a hand on her shoulder. Jason started to chuckle, but let out a grunt as Katherine subtly elbowed him in the side.

"You guys all be safe and may the Power protect you," Kimberly told them.

"And you," the group chorused. Alpha pressed a button on the console and the V.R. Troopers and Beetleborgs were back in their respective cities. The Rangers watched through the globe as their new friends arrived in their cities and went about their day. Then, the Rangers all turned to each other.

"Guys, we finally did it," Kimberly said, her voice trembling with excitement.

"No more bad guys," Katherine grinned.

"Rangers, once again, you have a decision to make," Zordon told them.

"What are you talking about?" Rocky questioned.

"Now that Zedd, Rita, and her minions have been destroyed, you have the opportunity to choose to either keep your Powers to use in cases of emergency or to return to your regular lives. The decision is yours," Zordon stated. The teens each blew out a breath. Give up the powers? Forget that they had ever saved the world? They all looked at each other. Jason looked at each of his teammates. From their expressions, he could tell that they were all thinking the same thing.

"Zordon, I believe I can speak for all of us when I say we'll keep the Powers," Jason declared and the other Rangers nodded.

"We can't give up the Powers now," Trini agreed.

"What if someone else were to come along? We'd be caught unawares," Katherine stated.

"Besides-for me, at least-being a Ranger has grounded me, made me more responsible. I don't want to give that up," Rocky added.

"So like I said before, 'You can't get rid of us!'" Zack chimed in. Everyone laughed. Jason put a fist out. One-by-one, Billy, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, Tommy, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and Katherine put their hands on top of Jason's fist.

"Power Rangers!" they all cried, jumping into the air.

THE END

AUTHOR'S NOTE

I decided to use a line from "Mondo's Last Stand" and the last scene from "Doomsday Pt 2" for the ending because it fit. This scene belongs to Haim Saban and Fox Kids.
