Zeltar fly's in the air hitting the ground. A phoenix fly's from him as he de-morphs, it circles the air, and screeches. Thrax laughs as he slowly walks towards Zeltar gripping his sword, as the blade drags on the dirt.
"This ends now Zeltar" He says as he brings his sword into the air, the blade shinning off the sun's rays.
"To ashes" Zeltar yells as the phoenix screeches and fly's towards him, growing with flames and rage as it hits Zeltar exploding on impact. Zeltars eyes open wide as the flames surround him, covering his body. Thrax steps back and joins Opinhues, Kordon, and Kingatom. They stand and watch the flames rise.

The sound of jeeps echos through the destroyed streets of Reefside. The rangers slowly turn to see army jeeps and soldiers approach. General Jordan steps out of the jeep approaching the Rangers.
"We need to talk" He says to them as the Ranger look at him with shock, "The United States would like to present the Power Rangers with a job offer of keeping those things. Out of the here" He adds as he shows them a vanilla folder.
"No we don't need any of that" Tommy says as he pulls the folder. "Years ago we took an oath... a pledge. To protect the earth, out of Love, Compassion, and we did that. So we'll keep doing that no matter what."
"So as a wise man said to us" Tommy says as he looks at of the Rangers
