Disclaimer: I do not own the Power Rangers, but growing up I always thought I would become one...

Summary: Well, I decided to finally get the last installment of the Jessica Hartgrove series finally written/started. it's been three years since I last updated the series, just basically because I am now all grown up and have a life and also because I've been focusing on other works of fanfiction, mostly American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, and Harry Potter as you can tell.

Anywho, Part three takes place where Turbo ended. The gang's current enemy is still Divatox, and they are preparing for graduation, Rocky and Jessie's wedding, and deciding whether they should stay rangers a few more years or pass on their powers. Also, Tommy's adoptive father and mother got a divorce not too long ago, and when Jessie cleans out the attic, she stumbles upon something that may change her and Tommy's lives forever. What the Rangers don't know, is that Zordon has news to give them that will be heartbreaking, and end an era. As new villain threatens Divatox's place, and also the universe, the rangers must finally face the truth that this could truly be the end.

Chapter 1: Graduation Blues

Angel Grove High School

Angel Grove, California

Friday, June 5th, 1997

A gentle breeze cooled the hot sticky summer air. Ten teenagers and a five year old were gathered around several boxes of decorations that had been set on folding chairs in the Angel Grove High courtyard.

"Mommy, is it true you and Daddy had to battle an evil lady?" asked five year old Alexandra DeSantos.

"Shh, Lexie, and yes, we all did," said eighteen year old Jessica Hartgrove as she handed several rolls of streamers to her best friend Aisha Campbell.

"I wish Tommy was here," said Kat. "I wish he wasn't doing that stupid racing, he could get hurt!"

"I think it's cool he's racing stock cars," said Kimberly Hart. "Besides, he already drives the red lightning car." Jason Lee nodded in agreement as he wrapped his arms around Kim and nuzzled her shoulder. She playfully slapped him.

"Not now, you hormonal man," whsipered Kim. "There's a kid standing right in front of you!"

"Ugh, you two are worse that Rocky and Jess," quipped Tanya Sloane.

"Bite me," said Rocky DeSantos as he shoved a candy bar into his mouth and helped his best friend Adam Park hang up the "Happy Graduation" and "Angel Grove Class of 1998" signs over the stage. Jessica rolled her eyes as the two boys picked up a couple of fake swords that had been stuck in the box to place up on stage as a decoration (and must have been left from their recent production of Romeo and Juliet) and were now re-performing their fight scene as Mercutio and Tybalt. Rocky had been Mercutio and Adam had been Tybalt. Tommy had been Romeo but since he was not there, Jason, who had been Benvolio, was saying the lines for him.

"Boys," groaned Jillian Hartgrove, Jessica's twin sister as she helped Billy Cranston hang up a roll of streamers.

"Good King of Cats, nothing but one of your nine lives that I mean to make bold withal, and as you shall use me hereafter, dry-beat the rest of the eight! Will you pluck your sword out of his pilcher by the ears? Make haste, lest mine be about your ears ere it be out!" cried Rocky.

"I am for you," said Adam as he drew the sword. They continued on, and a few of the other students joined the group to watch the re-enactment of the play take place. Even Principal Kaplan was watching on in amusement as the two seniors did their fight scene. Adam pretended to wound Rocky and the crowd laughed as Rocky clutched himself.

"Away Tybalt!" joked one of the other seniors and everyone laughed as the scene went on.

"I am hurt! A plague be cursed on both your houses!" cried Rocky.

"What, art thou hurt?" asked Jason.

"Ay, ay, a scratch, a scratch. Marry, 'tis enough. Where is my page?—Go, villein, fetch a surgeon! They have made worms' meat of me," said Rocky.

"Help me into some house, Benvolio, Or I shall faint. A plague o' both your houses!" Rocky then "died" and the crowd cheered as Adam laughed while helping up Rocky.

"Nice you guys, so mature," stated Katherine as she and Jessica rolled their eyes. Just then their communicators beeped and the six rangers stood there with their former teammates.

"Well, looks like we have to go," said Jessica.

"We'll cover for you," said Jason.

"Watch Lexie for us, will you Aisha?" asked Jessica.

"Of course girl," said Aisha. "Go guys, hurry!"

The six teens nodded and quickly vacated the area and hid behind a large and tall set of bushes.

"Go ahead Dad," said Jessica.

"Rangers, please come to the power chamber," said Zordon.

"Is it Divatox?" asked Rocky.

"No, I have some important news I must share with you in person," said Zordon. "Tommy has already been notified and is on his way here."

"We're on our way," said Jessica. The six teens disappeared in six colors of light and were gone.

in the power chamber, Alpha sighed.

"Ay ay ay Zordon, the Rangers will be so heartbroken!"

"I know Alpha," said Zordon, "but we must prepare!"

The six rangers landed in the power chamber and found Tommy standing there with Alpha. Kat smiled and made her way over to her handsome yet sweaty boyfriend and he greeted her with a kiss.

"Ugh, you need a shower, mister," said Kat.

"Well, it does get hot in those cars," said Tommy.

"Rangers, I have some grave news," said Zordon.

"What is it?" asked Jill.

"A war has broken out on Eltar, and I am needed there," said Zordon. "A special guest will be joining us soon. I have been granted my freedom from this chamber, as a thank you in return for saving this guest's life."

A flash of gold light appeared in the power chamber and the seven teens smiled and excidely greeted the visitor.

"LERIGOT!" they cried.

"In return for saving him, Yara and Bethel, Lerigot has granted my freedom. But I will return to Eltar, as I can not survive on Earth or any other part of the universe in human form through Lerigot's magic."

"You mean, you'll be like Dulcea?" asked Adam. (A.N., Ninjor never existed, I made the first movie fit in with the series as it should have been done.)

"Yes Tommy," said Zordon.

"Dulcea?" frowned Tanya, Kat, Jessica and Jill.

"A good friend who helped us a couple years ago," said Tommy.

"Oh yeah, the one who gave you the ninja powers," said Kat.

"Right," said Rocky.

"Rangers, we must leave now," said Alpha. "Our portal is just opening. If we wait too long, it will close and we will never be able to get there."

"You mean you're going too Alpha?" asked Tanya.

"Zordon needs me to help him," said Alpha. "Oh ay ay ay, I'm going to cry."

"Oh don't cry, Alpha," said Jessica. "You'll rust your circuits. And I think I'm going to cry."

"Will we ever see you again, Zordon?" asked Tommy.

"You may one day," said Zordon. "I bid you farewell rangers. Your new leader will be here shortly." With that, a flash of light shone and Alpha, Zordon and Lerigot were gone.

"They're gone," said Kat.

"I can't believe it," said Jill. "I was just getting to know him as not only my leader, but my father."

"So was I, Sis," said Jessica. "So was I."

Just then, another flash of light appeared and a human being stood in front of them. She had long brown hair and utterly resembled Jessica and Jill.

"Hello Rangers. I am your new leader. I am Sarah. Sarah of Eltar."

"Mom?" whispered Jessica.

"Hello girls," said Sarah. Jill and Jessica both broke down and cried and embraced their biological mother in a hug.

"You're alive, you're really alive!" whispered Jessica. "Dad never told us you were still alive."

"I'm really here," said Sarah, embracing her daughters. "My darlings, it's been eighteen earth years since I last saw you both. That's when I'd left you with Richard and Lisa."

"We're graduating high school today, Mummy," said Jill. "Will you come to our ceremony?"

"I would be honored to go, but someone needs to stay here. No worries, I will watch your ceremony from the viewing screen."

"Mom and Dad are going to freak when they know you're alive," said Jessica, still wiping tears from her eyes. "They will be so happy to come up here and see you."

"You mean they know you guys are Rangers?"

"Yeah, all of our parents know," said Tommy. "After all the stuff happened with Master Vile turning back time, we had to explain how we went from teenagers to second graders and back to teens."

"Un believeable," said Tanya. "You guys never told me that story."

"I like to try and forget that," said Rocky. "I was back in boy's underwear, ugh!"

"Oh, Mom, this is Rocky DeSantos," said Jessica, taking his hand. "He's my fiance. We're getting married this summer."

Sarah smiled.

"Yes, your father did mention that. I'm pleased to meet you Rocky. I'm pleased to meet you all. Now, you have to go back to your school. Hurry, your ceremony is starting very soon."

An hour later, the rangers, except Tommy since he had graduated early, were all back at the high school in their graduation gowns. Tommy had decided to stay for the ceremony after all so he, Aisha, Billy, Jill, Kim and Jason stood in the back with the friends and family that had gathered to witness the ceremony. Richard Hartgrove, his ex-wife, and Lexie sat behind the graduates on the right side. Jessica fingered her Valedictorian medal that hung around her neck and smiled up at Rocky as he laced his hands through hers. Principal Kaplan began to speak.

"Welcome Graduates, students, faculty, family and friends, to the 1997 graduation ceremonies here at Angel Grove High School. Before we pass out the diplomas, I would like to introduce our first speaker. She is this year's class valedictorian, a member of the dance team, choir, and orchestra, as well as our very first student to be chosen as a student teacher for next fall. With a G.P.A. of 4.4, please welcome, Miss Jessica Hartgrove."

The crowd cheered as Jessica smiled and walked up to the stage to begin her speech.

"Thank you Mr. Kaplan. Friends, family, fellow students, the members of the school board and faculty, and my fellow graduates of the Class of 1997, it has been a long journey for me. When I was in eighth grade, my life changed drastically. I found myself in a situation that I just simply could not get out of."

Jessica paused a moment before smiling back to Lexie, who waved and she waved back. A few people chuckled.

"I was only 14, and I found myself pregnant. Pregnant, scared, confused and at first I thought I was going to be in serious trouble. But I wasn't. My mother and father, who had never biologically had their own children, had decided to come clean that my twin sister and I had been adopted from our real parents, who were unable to care for us as infants. So when I told them that I was going to have a baby, my father cried. He had said that hearing that had made his day. Why would you ask that a fourteen year old telling her parents and sister she was going to have a baby would make a father completely happy? Because one, he had just lost his job due to downsizing, two, he was suffering from colon cancer at the time and now cancer free for almost 5 years, and three, he was sterile."

Jessica briefly pause before continuing.

"My adoptive father, who was the reason my adoptive mother could not get pregnant, was happy for me. Happy that I would be able to go through a miracle that he and my mother never got to. But I had never told my baby's father the truth, for I was ashamed. And then I got a n overseas phone call from my seventeen year old cousin in italy that her mother, my "aunt", was dying from cancer and that they needed someone to come help with the children. I explained my situation to her, and she allowed to let me come live with her until I was ready to return to America with the baby. I told the baby's father that my aunt in Italy was dying, and that the family was sending me to take care of her chikdren until further arrangements could be made. I wasn't to go right away, since the children were staying with my cousin. The next several weeks past and no one really seemed to notice the changes in my body, except for my sister. And then, at a choir competition, I thought I had lost my sister. There had been an explosion at the choir hall after the competition, but it had only been a distraction to kidnap my sister. I thought she was dead, and thought so up until recently. When I was in Italy, I helped take care of my cousins, and also my grandmother homeschooled me in every subject possible. Latin, italian, Math, English, Science, you name it you got it."

Rocky smiled at Jess as he knew what was coming next.

"And then, on May 3rd of that year, I went into labor. it had been something I have never experienced before in my life. The pain was unbearable, and I was silently praying for my mother, my REAL mother, everytime I had a contraction. Midnight rolled around and no baby had arrived. Thankfully I was in Rome, so I was able to be in a hospital for the birth. And then, at 1:15 A.M. May 4th, I started feeling my baby making it's way into the world. it was a great feeling.I was so focused on holding her, I didn't even feel the pain I was in. And at a quarter to 2 in the morning, my baby girl arrived, screaming for me. My miracle was here. My Alexandria Jessica DeSantos. Over the next few years I raised Lexie into a beautiful toddler. This past winter, I had to return back to the states because my adoptive parents had gotten a divorce, and my dad needed help emptying out the house of things that we no longer needed. He was moving to an apartment, big enough for him, me and Lexie, but I talked him out of the apartment altogether. I knew the memories of the wonderful years he spent with Mum in that house would be unbearable, but I casually reminded him that Lexie had been apart of the house too, and I wanted her to grow up where I did. So we stayed. I'd only been home for a few hours, and had reunited with my two best friends, one of them the love of my life and father of my daughter, Rocky Desantos and Adam Park. I'd also made new friends, out of Tommy Oliver, Katherine Hilliard, Tanya Sloane, and BIlly Cranston. I'd also made friends with Kimberly Hart, who was back from the Pan Global Games. But there was one thing I had gotten for Christmas, that I was not expecting, besides the ring people!"

Everyone laughed as Rocky groaned and placed his head in his hands as Jess flashed the stunning engagement ring.

"The thing I got for Christmas, that I had wanted most, was finding my real father. My birth mother and father had been apart for many years, since the day they'd concieved me and Jill. They were apart of a special group that was in danger, and was the reason why my sister and I were given away. It was not a cult they were in, but a very special military group that was very secretive, and still is to this day. It's been six months since I've been home, and today, for the first time, I met my birth mother, Sarah. We haven't spent any quality time together yet, but there will be plenty of chances to later on, as she is no longer apart of this group. So some of you may be asking why I am giving you my life story. Well, there are people out there who didn't think I could do this, and I'm up here giving this speech because I DID do it. I pushed myself to be the best and here I am. So thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout the last few years and to my fellow students, maybe you be successful in your endevors. Thank you and congratulations."

The first people on their feet were the current and ex rangers, cheering so loudly you could have been at a rock concert. The rest of the class followed suit and the families and faculty followed them. Jessica smiled and waved them off sarcastically and returned to her seat, earning a kiss from Rocky. Mr. Kaplan smiled as he returned to the podium.

"Thank you Jessica for that lovely speech. And now, we shall pass out the diplomas."

"Well, what do we have here?" quipped Divatox as she peered through her periscope. "The rangers are having a commencement ceremony...this calls for a plan! ELGAR!"

"Yes Auntie D?" asked Elgar.

"Whip me up a monster to send to those pesky power pukes for their graduation."

Divatox was combing her hair and looking at herself in the mirror.

"You got it!"

And now, if you'll move your tassels to the other side, graduates," Mr . Kaplan began after all of the diplomas were handed out. The students followed his orders and Mr. Kaplan nodded.

"Congratulations to the class of 1997. Class graduated!"

The courtyard burst into cheers as everyone celebrated. Rocky and Jessica were kissing, as were Tanya and Adam. Kat rolled her eyes as she hugged one of her debate team members and then the five rangers hugged each other. As they celebrated with their families, their communicators beeped and the parents shared a knowing look. The rangers winked and disappeared off into the courtyard and the Hilliards, Sloans, Richard and Lisa, and Maria DeSantos smiled as they saw seven streaks of light disappear into the sky several moments later.

"Be careful kids," said Richard Hartgrove.

"Yeah, be careful," said Maria.
