Final Chapter: So it's come to end. I will admit, it was a little tricky to find the proper ending for this season that we didn't get in the show. After watching Gokaiger, I finally found the perfect scenario.
This final chapter will also explain how the Legendary Rangers got their powers back to fight in the war, and why the Rangers morphers were repaired in the last chapter. Originally there was going to be a scene involving Jake and Gia, but I decided to scrape it.
So now without further ado, I present to you now the final chapter.
Chapter 9: The Legacy Continues
Outside the city, Orion was repairing a damaged Armada ship in the clearing of the forest.
After saving the world and defeating the Emperor, the Rangers returned home to their families and friends. That was two days ago, and now Orion felt it was time for him to depart once again. Thankfully, he managed to find a slightly damaged Armada Ship outside the city, which he had now managed to restore. He could not, however, bring himself say good-bye to his friends a second time, so kept his project a secret from them.
Orion took one last look around the grassy area, then toward the peaceful city several miles away.
"I'm really going to miss this place." Orion sighed as he prepared to board his ship.
"Orion, wait!"
Orion turned around to see his five human friends racing towards him.
Orion laughed to himself as he got off his ship. He should have known they'd come and find him, but he was glad they did.
"Guys, what are you doing here?" Orion exclaimed as he hugged everyone.
"You weren't thinking about leaving without saying good-bye, were you?" Emma smiled, stepping forward.
"I know, I know, I should have told you." Orion admitted. "But I didn't think I could handle saying good-bye to you guys a second time."
"Well, how about we don't say good-bye?" Gia suggested.
"What do you mean?" Orion asked, slightly confused.
The five rangers exchanged glances and smiles with each other.
"Orion, you helped us when we needed it most." Noah stated as he stepped forward. "And you're going to need help to repair your planet and rescue survivors. And that's why…."
"We're going to come with you!" Emma squealed excitedly.
Orion's eyes bulged with shock.
"Come with me? To Andresia?" Orion repeated.
"We talked it over with our families, and they all support us." Emma went on.
"Whoa, guys, hold on." Orion blurted out. "I really appreciate the offer, but I can't ask you guys do that. This planet needs you more than I do."
"Actually, now that the Armada's gone, the Earth doesn't really need us anymore." Gia pointed out.
"What are you talking about?" Orion asked, puzzled by her statement. "What if some other evil force invades Earth and you guys aren't here to stop them?"
Troy stepped forward to the Silver Ranger, placing his hand on Orion's shoulder. "Orion, you're forgetting one of the main traditions of being a Power Ranger: when you defeat the enemy that you were chosen to protect the Earth from, it's time to pass the torch to a new generation. The Legendary Rangers went through this passage for years, and now it's our turn to move on. With the Armada gone, we have to leave protecting the world from evil to a new generation."
"And besides, you helped us save our planet." Emma pointed out. "And we're going to return the favor by helping you rebuild your world."
"It won't be easy." Jake said. "But as long as we're together, anything's possible."
"You guys!" Orion sniffled. "You are all the best friends I ever had!"
The rangers circled Orion around for a group hug.
That afternoon the rangers walked into the city as they made their way to the Skyship, which had been repaired by the gang. As they walked down the streets of the city, many people gathered around and applauded them. The six teens, acting as professional as they could, simply waved at the adoring crowd of people as they finally approached the Sky Ship.
"Still feel the new kid?" Jake joked, elbowing Troy.
Troy looked up to the Black Ranger. "Never felt like one after I met you guys."
The Rangers came up to the Skyship, which opened its hull door. The Rangers turned around once more and waved good-bye to their families and friends.
"Bye! Bye!" Gia waved to the people. "We'll miss you!"
"Don't worry, Dad!" Emma waved. "We'll be back in a few months."
"Hey, Mr. Burley, I'll bring you a space rock when we come back." Noah called out to his teacher.
With a final wave of applause, the Rangers turned around and entered the entrance to the Skyship. They trekked to the top of the ship-like Zord. Just as they were about to turn the corner to the steering room, the five Rangers stopped in their tracks.
"Guys, what's wrong?" Orion asked, as he was at the back.
Orion looked forward and noticed a humanoid figure standing in front of the Rangers.
"Robo Knight!" Emma cried out.
"Well done, Rangers." Robo Knight stated. "You have eliminated all traces of the alien Armada. The Earth is safe once again."
The five Mega Rangers gathered around their old ally, patting him on the back and saying how much they missed him.
"It is good to be back, Rangers." Robo Knight stated.
Orion smiled and pulled something from his jacket as he approached the Knight. The other five rangers dispersed as they clear path for Orion to face Robo Knight.
"Robo Knight, I believe this belongs to you." Orion stated as he held out the Robo Knight Ranger key in his hand.
Robo Knight looked down at the key and took it from Orion's hand.
"Yes and thank you, Silver Ranger." Robo Knight answered as he took the key. "You have exceeded all expectations of the Sixth Rangers. You have done well."
"Thank you for that, Robo Knight." Orion smiled. "And for saving me life."
Robo Knight." Troy said as stepped forward
"Yes, Red Ranger?" Robo Knight answered turning to face Troy.
"There's-There's just a few things I don't understand." Troy said. "How did you come back during our last battle? Your entire life-force was gone when we found you in your Lion Zord mode."
"Yeah, and how did the Legendary Rangers get their powers back?" Noah added.
"It is actually quite simple, Rangers." Robo Knight answered.
Flashback
"Say goodbye, Gosei!" Vrak laughed as he slashed Gosei's Head, splitting it in half.
"The Ranger keys that Gosei kept with him in the Command Center contained the full extent of the Legendary Rangers' powers, including my own." Robo Knight's voice explained as the flashback scene continued. "By destroying Gosei, Vrak inadvertently triggered Gosei's fail-safe plan."
End Flashback
"Plan?" Troy repeated.
"Yes. In the unforeseen event that Gosei was destroyed, the Legendary Ranger keys were to release the powers contained within them and return to their previous owners, no matter their location." Robo Knight went on. "That is why I was able to be restored after giving my life force to you, Silver Ranger. The Legendary Rangers were given their powers back as well, allowing them to fight by our side against the Armada."
"But then they sacrificed their powers to destroy the Armada." Jake pointed out. "And then our Ranger keys were restored along with the Legendary keys when we fought the emperor."
"Correct, Black Ranger." Robo Knight stated. "But you must understand that such powers of good can never truly be destroyed; only transferred. When we and the other Rangers unleashed our power to destroy the Armada fleet, they were simply transferred back into the Morphing Grid. However, when you all stood up to the Emperor, proclaiming your will to protect the Earth and the entire universe from the forces of evil, the Morphing Grid reacted, causing your strong human emotions to restore your morphers, along with the Ranger powers."
"We did that?" Emma cooed. "That's amazing!"
"And now I must ask you to complete one more task before you depart, Rangers." Robo Knight went on.
"Sure anything, Robo Knight." Troy assured.
Robo Knight summoned a treasure chest, which contained all the Legendary Ranger keys. "Return the Legendary Ranger keys to their rightful owners."
Troy took the treasure chest, nodding his head to Robo Knight in acknowledgment.
"We will, Robo Knight." Troy told him. "Besides, after that last fight against the Emperor, we've lost the ability to morph into Legendary Rangers anymore."
"Yeah, even our Super modes are gone." Noah added.
"Good, and now I bid farewell to you all." Robo Knight stated before turning around and walking away.
"Hey, Robo Knight." Gia spoke up. "Why don't you come with us to Andresia?"
Robo Knight stopped in his tracks and turned to face the Rangers once more.
"I am sorry, Yellow Ranger, but I must remain here." Robo Knight answered as he turned to face the setting sun in the distance. "With Gosei gone, the Earth no longer has a guardian. Even though my mission to protect the Earth is complete, a new candidate must assume Gosei's role. And as his creation, I must oblige that favor."
"We're going to miss you, Robo Knight." Noah confessed.
Emma, being the emotional one, rushed forward and wrapped her arms around the robot, who was taken aback by the gesture.
"Robo Knight, you are more than a machine." Emma sniffled. "You are our friend."
"What is this strange sensation in my circuitry?" Robo Knight asked. "It feels as though my battery cell has been impaled with a sword."
"It means you feel sad." Gia answered as she pulled Emma aside.
"I feel sad?" Robo Knight repeated, sounding confused about what Gia said. "Why should I feel sad? I am fully functional, the Earth is free of threats, and you humans are alive."
"You're sad because we're leaving you." Troy answered. "It's always sad when friends have to leave each other."
"You are my friends?" Robo Knight asked, in a confused tone.
"Friends forever." Troy corrected him.
Jake smiled and held his fist out.
"Let's do this right, guys." Jake grinned.
Gia and Emma smiled placing their fists beside his. Noah and Troy did so as well.
Orion stared at the five, oblivious to what they were doing. Robo Knight simply stood motionless.
Emma, noticing the two teammates' confusion, decided to explain. "This is our team cheer. Ball your hands into fists and hold them out with ours."
Robo Knight held up his hand, examining it closely before balling it into a fist and holding it out next to Emma's. Orion followed suit.
"Now when we say, 'Earth Defenders, Never Surrender, we throw our hands in the air." Emma went on.
"Why would we do that?" Orion asked.
The others smiled.
"You'll see." Troy smiled.
"Earth's Defenders….." The group shouted. "Never Surrender!"
All of them threw their hands in the air in a victorious manner.
"Well, it is time for me to go now, Rangers." Robo Knight stated. "I wish you all safe journey to Andresia."
With that said, Robo Knight morphed into his Lion Zord Mode and flew away into the horizon.
"Good-bye, Robo Knight!" Emma called out as she and the other Rangers waved. "Take good care of Tensou!"
Within seconds, Robo Knight disappeared from the Rangers sight.
Troy turned to face his friends.
"Alright, guys, you ready for this?" Troy asked.
The others nodded and followed Troy to the Steering room. They all walked toward the steering wheel, with Troy front and center.
"Alright, time to return the powers!" Troy commanded as he lifted the chest of keys toward the sky.
The chest opened and all the keys scattered throughout the sky as bright yellow lights. The Skyship then took off into the sky.
Mike and Emily both received their keys. They both waved good-bye to the Skyship before leaving hand-in-hand.
Scott received his Ranger key, as he looked up at the sky. His brother Marcus placed his hand on Scott's shoulder. Scott turned around and smiled at his older brother. With a polite nod, Marcus slowly faded away.
Dominic received his Key again. Fran walked up to him, wrapping her arms around his free arm as they both watched the Skyship.
Mack received his key as the Skyship passed him. As he looked at the key in his hand, Mack grinned.
"A treasure worth having."
Nick and Leanbow both received their keys. Without anything to say to each other, the two departed into the Enchanted Forest as Fire Heart's roar echoed.
Sky received the SPD Red Ranger key as well as the SPD Blue Key. Standing beside him was Jack and Crueger, who received his Shadow Ranger Key. Sky looked at the Red Ranger key, then at Jack. Sky held the key out to Jack. The former Red Ranger looked at his comrade in confusion.
Sky smiled. "There can only be one Red Ranger."
Jack smirked and took the key from Sky's hand.
"Glad to be back on the job." Jack grinned.
With that said, Cruger opened a wormhole and the three entered.
Ethan received his key and looked up proudly toward the Skyship.
At a Ninja Academy, Shane and Hunter received their keys and nodded at the departing Skyship. With that, the two Rangers and their group of ninja students began sparring with each other.
On the Animarium, Merrick received his key again and walks off into the forest, with Zen-Aku following close behind.
Wes received his key again, and walked off to the Silver Guardian building where Eric is waiting for him. Wes stopped for a moment when he saw the other Time Force Rangers talking with Eric. Wes smiled.
"About time."
Ryan and Dana received their keys once more, looking up at the Skyship. They waved good-bye to the Mega Rangers.
Behind them stood their father Captain Mitchell, who put his hands on one of their shoulders.
Kai and Maya get their keys back, and both smile proudly at the departing Skyship.
Andros and Zhane both received their keys and gave a proud salute to the rangers. They then jump up into the air and land on their Galaxy Gliders. They both fly off into the horizon.
Justin, sitting in Storm Blaster, received his Blue Ranger key. He waved good-bye to the Mega Rangers. Once the ship flew off, Justin started up Storm Blaster and drove down the highway.
Elsewhere, the Phantom Ranger held up his key, and saluted the Skyship with a peace hand gesture before disappearing.
Rocky and Tanya received their keys as well. Rocky waved wildly at the flying Skyship. Unfortunately, his waving pulled something in his back, leading him to crouch down in pain. Tanya rushed to his aid.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Rocky told her.
Aurico and Delphine, at their space pod, received their keys. The two nod at the Skyship and entered their pod along with their teammates.
Tommy Oliver, at the top of a building in Harwood County, received all four of his ranger keys: Green, White, Red, and Black.
"Gosei couldn't have chosen a better team of heroes." Tommy grinned as he looked at his ranger keys.
He then looked up toward the departing Skyship. "Thank you, Mega Rangers, for letting the legacy of Power Rangers to live on. The other past rangers and I may have been the Legendary rangers, but you guys are all the ones who are making legends!"
Tommy gave a final salute to the Mega Rangers, and turned to leave. As he walked away, four figures appeared behind him, all walking by his side. On his right were the Mighty Morphin Green and Red Zeo Rangers. On his left were the Mighty Morphin White and Black Dino Rangers.
Back in the Skyship
"Alright, guys, next stop, Andrasia!" Troy announced as he turned the wheel, allowing the ship to take course to the planet of Andresia.
End Notes: Well, that's it! I hoped you all enjoyed it.
