"You don't have to go out there guys. You don't have to prove anything. You've done enough."

"They're right though. They have every right to be pissed off. We're just going out there to calm them down."

"It's not fair that you guys have to take the fall."

"Hey, we went public. It's the price we have to pay."

"Well, we'll be out there watching. Good luck."

Kira hugged each of the Overdrive Rangers before running into the audience as the Rangers took their seats. Since the downfall of humanity at the hands of Venjix, the military wanted to interview the Rangers. They wanted answers for why none of the recent Power Rangers tried to stop him. And because the Overdrive Rangers were the only ones to go public with their identities, they were the ones taking the fall.

"We'll start with the leader," the mayor said. "Mr. Mackenzie Hartford?"

"Um... actually, this time, the leader was um, yeah, it was me," Kaylee corrected, standing up.

"Is it not usually the red one?" the mayor frowned, looking down at his papers.

"Uh, yeah," Kaylee smiled. "But um, yeah."

Ronny leaned over and whispered to her friend, all while laughing on the inside.

"Good job. You've always had a way with words."

"Why were you chosen as leader, instead of red?" the mayor asked.

"Um," Kaylee had to think fast. She couldn't tell them she was on Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder and Mystic Force before helping the Overdrive team. She looked out into the audience and saw Kira pumping her fist in the air, "Pure skills."

"Excuse me?" the mayor frowned.

"My skills," Kaylee repeated. "Mr. Hartford chose us based on skills we had acquired. Will was an international spy, Dax was a stunt man, Ronny was a stock car driver and Rose was super smart. Mack was chosen cause he had skills and he was determined to be the red dude, and I was chosen because I had previous training in martial arts."

"Where did you train?"

"Adam Park's dojo," Kaylee lied, looking over at Adam. He nodded, silently telling her he would back her story up. "He's an awesome sensei."

"Were your Ranger Powers still active?"

"No. We lost our Powers in our final battle against Flurious."

"What about your civilian powers?" the mayor asked. That's when Kaylee noticed the bodyguards look up at her and the team. The military had recently begun arresting humans with superpowers, afraid they might be working with Venjix, or at least have a deal to wipe out the human race, leaving only super powered humans and computers. The blonde looked over at her team. If she admitted that they still had powers, they would be thrown in jail.

"We lost them with age," Kaylee said. "Mack lost his powers shortly after losing his Ranger powers. Will can no longer hear or see anything more than you and me. Dax hasn't jumped anywhere near high in ages. Ronny... really, do you think this old buzzard can run, even at regular speed anymore? And you can see Rose, can't you?"

"The alien, Tyzonn, where is he?"

"He went back to his home planet; haven't heard from him in ages."

"What about you?" the mayor asked. "If I remember correctly, the Green Overdrive Ranger had several powers."

The mayor reached into a folder and pulled out a paper.

"Semi-spontaneous regeneration, teleportation, shrinking and time travelling."

"Can't heal, Zwop, Zw- zwip, or zwoom," Kaylee lied.

"Test her," the mayor ordered. He turned to one of the bodyguard, who pulled out a pocket knife.

"Hello!" Kaylee frowned, jumping back, "Are you trying to emo me?"

"It's the only way to see if you're lying," the mayor said. "Don't worry, it's nothing fatal."

"You are not slicing my arm open to watch it heal!" Kaylee yelled, "Even if I did have my powers, you wouldn't be able to see it heal. I heal normally, just a little faster."

"Officer Drew, leave her," the mayor frowned. "We've done tests on your powers and have discovered they are hereditary. So would you mind if-"

"Touch my daughter and you die," Kaylee threatened, jumping out of her seat. Mack reached up, touching her shoulder and holding her back.

"Chances are, she has the ability to heal, and you had her when you were... twenty-four? Am I right?"

"Twenty-three, turning twenty-four... why?"

"Last anyone saw, you used your powers at the age of twenty-six, when you witnessed a bank robbery. If your powers are hereditary, then your daughter would surely have them."

"It's not sure thing!" Kaylee yelled.

"Again, Mrs Brooks, the tests. It has been confirmed that humans only need one chromosome to be modified to possess super abilities. You have both your X chromosomes that have been modified, therefore any child you produce will have powers. Boy, or girl."

"He just made Kaylee and I sound like breeding animals!" Dustin whispered to Tori.

"Shh!"

The body guard turned on Hayden and grabbed her arm.

"Mom!" Hayden screamed.

"Get. The. Fuck. Away. From. My. Daughter," Kaylee yelled.

"Sir," a red head spoke up, turning to the mayor.

"Not now, Hayley!" the mayor said.

"Look, if Kaylee's right, then you would be hurting an innocent girl. Do you really need that on your record? With half the human population as a witness?"

"I'm trying to protect the city!" The mayor yelled back.

"JUNGLE BEAST, SPIRIT UNLEASHED!"

A yellow glow shone from the middle of the crowd before the Yellow Jungle Fury Ranger jumped out. She pulled Hayden away and disappeared.

The mayor's jaw dropped in shock.

"They still live!" he yelled out. "Everyone, follow that yellow Ranger!"

While the officers, soldiers and the bodyguard ran after the yellow Ranger, the mayor turned back to Ronny. Both were yellow, both must have known each other.

"Friend of yours?" he asked.

"Never met her before," Ronny lied. "We've never had to team up with them. That team worked alone."

"Speaking of team ups," the mayor smirked. "Your team was fortunate enough to receive help from seven past Rangers."

"We never saw them out of uniform," Rose answered.

"LIAR!" the mayor yelled. "That same week, witnesses saw seven visitors at the Hartford mansion."

"Yeah," Tori said, standing up and walking over to the Rangers' table. "I was one of them."

Kaylee turned to her sister and frowned.

"You don't have to help me," she whispered.

"I was visiting my sister for a while," Tori said. "Kira, Kelly and Kaylee were close, so I brought them along with me."

"What about the others. We've identified them as..."

"Thomas Oliver, Adams Parks, Bridge Carson and Xander Bly," Tori said. "Tommy was Kaylee's grade twelve science teacher. Adam was her sensei, Bridge was a new friend and Xander and Bridge go way back. They were spending the weekend together when I called Bridge."

"This wouldn't happen to be the same Bridge back in Newtech?" the mayor frowned.

"Nope, a different one. The resemblance is scary, I know," Tori smiled.

"Explain to me the relationship you have with your sister," the mayor asked.

"Protective," Tori eyed the mayor as her eyebrows shot up. Bad sign for the next person who got in her way.

"Okay, you can have a seat Mrs. Bradley," the mayor told her.

"Look," Will said, standing up. Kaylee turned to him and pushed him back down as she spoke up.

"When Venjix attacked, I called this team: First asking if they were okay, then to ask them to help me rescue any civilians that got in Venjix's path. Before we could even try, Venjix had taken over the world."

"What about the Ranger who just rescued your daughter?"

"Like Ronny said. They worked alone."

"Mrs. Brooks, you know..."

"I'll work for you," Kaylee offered. "Just leave my team, and my daughter alone."

"What are you going to do for us?" the mayor asked.

Kaylee reached into her bag and pulled out seven morphers.

"I made these... just in case something like this were to happen... I can make a team, if you wish. We can fight Venjix and take back the world."

"And you'll be in charge of this whole process?" the mayor frowned. "You'll find seven teens that are willing to put their lives at risk for the world?"

"No problem," Kaylee smirked, exchanging glances with Kira and Tori. "I have a few in mind already."

"Alright, so let me get this straight," the mayor sighed. "You guys only know of each other as the Rangers. You have no idea who that yellow Ranger was and you never saw the retro Rangers out of uniform."

"Um, yes, no and no," Kaylee answered, lying each time. "Would we really lie to you? We've spend years trying to protect you guys. We wouldn't endanger you now! Not like this."

"Look Kaylee, can I just ask one more question," the mayor asked. "Then I'll let you and your team go."

"Okay..."

"Ninja Storm Blue, Yellow and Red," the mayor started. Kaylee looked down at her friends and saw Shane, Dustin and Tori shift uncomfortably in their seats. "Know anything about them and their past. After all, even without knowing the blue one out of uniform, you probably got to talking."

"A little."

"They attacked the city of Reefside, when you and your sister were living in it. You would no doubt question her about it."

"How do... you snuck a peek at my personal files!" Kaylee yelled. "I've never met you before today! How the hell would you know where I lived!"

"When you failed to protect mankind from Venjix, I did a little research on all of you. You attended Reefside high when the Dino Thunder Rangers were around. You lived in Blue Bay when the Ninja storm team saved the city. You were present in Briarwood when Mystic force appeared. You were also around Ocean Bluff when the Jungle Fury team defeated Dai Shi. Strange, is it not?"

"Okay, either I misunderstood you, or you lied when you asked me to ask one more question!" Kaylee yelled.

"True or false?"

"Another damn question!"

"ANSWER THE QUESTION!"

"TRUE!" Kaylee yelled. Ronny and Mack each grabbed her arms, hoping she would calm down before she spilled her secrets. "I was there every time there was a team of Rangers! What do you want me to do about it? I bring horrible luck!"

"My friends have also noticed a few things about a certain green Ranger."

"Like what?" Kaylee asked.

"Whenever you're present on city cameras, the green Ranger is missing from battle," the mayor said, showing footage from each city.

"Yeah, so?"

"And..." the mayor continued. "Dino Green was the first Ranger to Zwop."

"Yeah... I know."

"Then, for a while, there was a zwopping green Mystic force. Then you, with Operation Overdrive, had Zwop. Finally..."

The mayor turned to the TV, as every head in the room followed.

"You claim not to know the Jungle Fury, yet, the green Ranger working with them was a Zwopper."

"So, green Rangers have the same power. Both Rose and the Black Dino Ranger could become invisible. Ronny and Red Dino could both run at super speed."

"Same city, same power, Mrs. Brooks, you realise that if you're lying to us, we hold the right to imprison you, in high security."

"I know."

"We have enough proof to claim that you worked alongside Dino Thunder, Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury."

"Yeah, I know..."

Kira couldn't take this. No one threatened Kaylee and got away with it. She got out of her seat and crawled through the crowd until she was under Kaylee's table. She looked through Kaylee's bag and found exactly what she needed.

"Please work," she begged, grabbing Kaylee's Dino Morpher and sneaking off.

"Mrs. Brooks, if you are lying, then you have lied about your powers, and your Ranger teams."

"I swear... I'm not lying!" Kaylee whispered, finally sitting down in her seat.

"Mrs. Brooks!"

"Dear God, man!" Kaylee yelled. "First you lie and say one more question, and now you're going all Boston Legal on me!"

"The truth."

Kaylee opened her mouth to speak, but a loud roar cut her off. Her eyes widened as she brought her hands up to her throat.

"That wasn't me... was it?" she asked Mack. He shrugged before the doors blew open and the Green Dino Ranger walked in.

Kaylee's wide eyes turned to the spot where Kira was supposed to be sitting, but saw it was empty.

"Uh-oh," she muttered.

"It's another one of them... but I thought... where did you come from?" the mayor stuttered.

"Where else?" the Green Ranger asked, smirking under her helmet. "Now, how could Kaylee be both here, and here, at the same time?"

The mayor looked at the green Ranger, then at Kaylee. "I guess... I guess that kills our theories."

"Can we go?" Kaylee asked. "You've kill the one question limit."

"Killed?" Will laughed. "It's more like... destroyed."

"I guess... I guess we're good," the mayor said as he walked out, poking the Green Ranger as he did. The city soon followed behind him, all leaving until only the Overdrive Rangers, Tori, Dustin and Kira were left.

"DUDE!" Dustin yelled. "Who the hell are you?"

He looked over at the Green Ranger, and poked her.

"Will you stop?" the Ranger snapped, whacking him on the back of the head.

"KIRA!" He hugged the yellow... or green Ranger, thankful she had pulled his wife out of danger. "Now, how?"

"No idea, but it worked!" Kira laughed. "By the way, Kayl, your suit, extra wedgie!"

"I know," Kaylee giggled, hugging her friend. "Aren't you going to power down? I hit my head on my own helmet."

Kaylee rubbed the side of her head as she continued to look at Kira.

"I don't know how," Kira admitted. "Everything's a little different."

"It's not easy being green," Kaylee smiled.

"Just power me down before I use your own weapons against you!" Kira yelled, pulling out the spino whip.

"Actually, that doesn't hurt as much as you think," Kaylee giggled.

"Kaylee," Tori threatened. "Get her out."

"Aww, but this is fun!"

"OUT!" Tori yelled.

"Fine," Kaylee groaned, grabbing's Kira wrist and pushing a few buttons. Kira powered down and dropped to the floor. "There, happy?"

"A little," Kira smiled. "Can I untire myself now?"

"Nope," Kaylee laughed. "Different colour, different gem... ha! You could be dying right now."

"Oh, look, energy," Kira breathed before jumping up and running after the blonde.

"Not the face!" Tori called after the two. "I'll need that to identify her!"

Lily chose this moment to walk in, with Hayden beside her. Kira and Kaylee whipped by the two, with the former slowly losing her speed before stopping to lean on a wall to catch her breath.

"You okay, Kira?" Lily asked, walking up beside the yellow Ranger and placing a hand on her back.

"Kaylee was right. I am dying," Kira whispered. "I do not recommend wearing a suit that's not meant for you."

"I could have told you that," Kaylee laughed as she hugged her daughter. "Wanna know how long it took to adjust myself to all my different suits? I know they were made for me, but they all held different powers."

Kira started to breathe deeply as her surroundings started spinning.

"Okay, seriously guys, stop moving," she said as she slowly sunk down to the ground.

Hayden looked up at her mother, who nodded. The youngest blonde ran to a table and grabbed a knife.

"Don't even think about it Brooks!" Kira yelled, "If they catch you."

"They won't catch me," Hayden smiled confidently. "They all left."

Hayden knelt down beside her aunt and used the knife to cut her palm. She then cut her aunt's palm and swapped blood.

"This is always disgusting," Kira frowned, feeling Hayden bleed on her. "I remember when my girls were breaking your le-"

Kira couldn't finish her sentence without gagging. It was definitely the worst memory she had, after watching Hayden plummet to her death at the park when she was a toddler.

"There, you still dizzy?" Hayden asked as she pulled her hand away, and watched as her palm, and Kira's palm healed in seconds.

"Not anymore, thanks kiddo," Kira smiled, taking Hayden's hand as she was pulled up. When she was steady on her feet, she kissed the top of her niece's head. "Don't tell Uncle Conner about this. He'll freak out for days."

Kaylee pulled away from the group with her Dino morpher in hand. She had to admit, while she was up against the mayor, she was scared. The world had ended. There were only two cities where the survivors could be safe, if they even made it to the cities.

Kira and Conner, Ronny and David and a lot of the other Rangers were going to NewTech. Powers were accepted there, and there would be no danger of a death penalty or life imprisonment.

But Kaylee knew she had to stay in Corinth. She had to protect this city, even if it was trying to destroy people of "her kind". Every human in this dome had the right to live, and Kaylee was going to make sure they still had that right.

And the communication, defence and control systems needed protecting as well. SPD already had a team of Rangers to defend them, so Kaylee could use her team to defend this city, the people and the systems. After all, if Corinth went down, soon, NewTech would as well.

Tori, Blake, Lily and Casey were going to stay here, with a few other brave Rangers, and watch over the city with Kaylee. They were going to live like normal humans, using their powers only when it was safe, but they were prepared to do anything to protect the city.

But what worried Kaylee the most was the future. Not her own, she had lived out her days of action and adventure. She would miss them if they left, but would have the memories.

Hayden, Summer, Samantha, Michael, Dani, Heather, Greg and all the other kids... their lives had just begun.

"What if this is it?" Kaylee whispered. "What if... Venjix is too strong... he's already done what other villains failed to do. He has taken over the world. And the only thing standing between him and Corinth is me."

Author's Note: Next story to loko out for is called the Rebellion Begins. Hayden, Samantha, Summer and Mike are challenged to see who will get the RPM green, yellow and pink morphers. They fight against a team of four teenagers their age. Will they get the power, or will the other teens succeed.

Let me know what you think of this oneshot!
