Warnings: With this chapter it's just going to be the single song now and they're going to the lodge the following morning to go skiing. But the mission is going to just get a brief shot, as the nine switch positions in team dynamics for a bit, before we hit October and Jason Returns after that.

Chapter 21: The Adult Lion And Sabertooth Tiger Get The Truth

"I take it that's Kalina doing the purring at the moment?" Andrea asked with an amused smile on her face as their parents heard the gentle purring coming out of her daughter. "Yeah that's her, our bonds are that of sisterhood, your daughters are now my quartet, Aunt Andrea. But your position is omega's second, you're her second in command right behind Aunt Janet, but it's Aunt Janet, you and Aunt Erica now for mom."

"With us, it's Sha', Kat and Tanya in my case, but beta, alpha's third and secondary beta now." she said and Andrea and Erica both nodded. "And the alpha's third is the best friend of the omega, to repeat my remark. I just took Mei's place as your mother's best friend, though we haven't even met yet here. Alright kitten, I know you're about to go back on duty soon enough, but do me a favor and try to keep it under control."

"Because once was enough regarding your winding up at the hospital, twice and I'm not going to make it to my next birthday, alright baby, just be careful guys." she said and the nine all nodded. "God I swear that was enough to give us all a heart attack at the time last year, we can't take that twice right now. But you guys need to be more careful, your parents and I have enough to be concerned about here at the moment."

"Without you landing yourselves in the emergency room, because of your job right now, baby how serious is your power level at?" James asked and she sighed. "They cut her powers in half, and we just learned the added bad news, though Kim, Jase, Aisha and I are retired at the current moment, we're still at power ranger stage. She can't over do it, without it putting her on the mat right now, but we gained once piece of good news."

"We can recharge her with our powers so she can fight the troops, but she can't fight the monsters, not till she's gets a secondary boost to her powers. But the plan was temporary till she came home and she's on the next upgrade while this one gets reactivated Uncle Jim." Billy told him and the seven covered their eyes at that. "I swear to god, if they cause her to drain herself completely they're in deep shit for it here."

"But either way, with us we'd have to repair the damage once you told us what the heck happened and why. But if I have to deal with her ending up back in my station and those two are the reason for why she and my son look like they've been put through the workout from hell. Yet again, and they're in serious trouble for it with us adult Rangers and I'm not kidding here." Melissa said firmly and James and Jake nodded in agreement.

"You know I never considered what my leaving would do to the six of you, because the six of you never wanted me to leave, I may have been his girlfriend. But to you three, I was your sister, and in your case, your best friend girls. But the four of you all shared that same thought guys, I never wanted to let you go at the time. I've had that question spinning in my mind since I left at the time, leaving you behind back then."

"When I left, I had that weight lying in my heart, thinking about us at our starting point, when the seven of us came together as friends and a team. After Kat was free of the spell finally, and wondering what and when it changed at the time. I mean after seven months I was having a tough time in trying to keep this up, till last month. And I finally drew the line and decided to talk to Carter and Patrick and here's the added catch now."

"It wasn't till I wrote 3/4's of it did I hear from Shalimar as she told me the truth now, that though we ended things. Or just set it on hold as we chose this now, and rebuilt what went wrong now, but I belonged to you and vice versa Tommy. To coin that another way, why'd I let you go at the time, I never wanted to leave, I never wanted to let go. Out there on my own, I was standing alone for the first time in 15 years now."

"And it's because the trio were in Geneva, you guys were here and I was now all alone finally in a new town, new place and in my head I was looking back at the start of things. The start of it, the beginning when I created a new gang, out of 2/5's of the original one for 18 months and just before I leave we added a new member now. When we, the seven of us had finally come together now, and I know you never wanted to let go."

"Not now when we fixed our bonds between us and Kat either, Kat was free of the spell I was fully recovered. And to your parents, they weren't ready to let me out of their sight now at the moment until they were sure, but for you guys, the though of letting me go now was hard. But for my safety, you had to, but what if I never left, and you tried harder to find that way to bring back me on duty and we could change what happened."

"Regarding what caused this in their first place, I mean if we brought Kat in to join us, before Rita put her under that spell. Then we wouldn't be dealing with the fact we were now separated at the moment. In the end and that's the question we had to ask ourselves, guys, if I stayed. If we tried harder and we could turn that clock around, but now we may never know that now, but the road of life had many paths now."

"And some lead to a broken heart and others a new chance at happiness and instead of letting go, we chose the road to happiness. We took that chance and look at us now, the seven of us are back together. For you and me baby, we took that chance we decided to make it last forever now, by us finally deciding enough was enough now." Kim said as she looked at them, and the trio all nodded to her gently at the remark at that.

"I think that says everything that needs to be said right now, regarding this, 'what if' 'what if you never left, 'if the six of us tried harder to bring your powers back to full.'. And finally 'what if we could turn that clock around and get to Kat before Rita had', which is the same as it was regarding me. I mean we had that same problem, and Jason lost total concentration now at the moment regarding that when I lost my powers finally."

"But as you said, you and I are two sides of that same coin and it's the same for Jason and Kat. But though they disconnected the link between you and your power coin, that doesn't mean things change, you're not sidelined now finally. Now that we know that all its going to take is another trip back to Phaedos. And you're back to full strength again, but we did for you, what we couldn't for me and the circle has been cut finally."

"Though Tanya and Jason just joined the team now as it is right now, that doesn't change the fact. Here, that last year the six of us were the ones who suffered a trauma we still can't get over." Tommy said and she nodded. "Yeah that's exactly my point, what if I never left, if we found and tried harder in some other way to bring my powers back up to full. And we got to Kat, before Rita did now at the time right now at the moment."

"But the seven of us tried for nine months in keeping up a long distance bond, but we reached the limit that we drew the line finally. And I came back and instead of breaking up, we chose to set things on hold, and my coming to see you guys every day. And we all chose the road to that happiness while for Zack and Trini. Its resulted in a severe heart ache now, but it's no use fighting over me now regarding bonds of friendship."

"Because that song could go the same way for them, 'here I stand alone, with this weight upon my heart, and it will not go away, in my head I keep on looking back right to the start. And wondering what it was that made you change.'. We changed because we grew up, made new friends suffered a bunch of life changing decisions and got hurt. But for you, me and Billy that's the song regarding us and them, Jason made his choice."

"And it's us, the fact that he chose, without thinking twice about it right now that he chose us as his family. But here's the piece we never told you before Tommy, he and Billy, their fathers were the best of friends from the time they were 2 years old. But they and my mom all shared this connection, like the duo and I did. While Uncle Peter and Aunt Mei met them when they were twelve, but though 8 years, same exact things now."

"Our parents, the duo their fathers, me my mother, they've been friends since they were two, and it went from one generation to the next." she said and he nodded as he looked at the look of brotherly bonds between their fathers and hid a smile as he said it. "That's the bond you have, ever since I moved to town, I never could figure that out. You guys were always together, but the four of us created a quartet when I arrived."

"But our colors, red, blue and green, if were the triplets in that Donald Duck cartoon, that's us altogether." Tommy said and their fathers chuckled as the trio exchanged smiles as Nathan said it for three of them as he looked at him gently. "So we didn't have to think twice in this regarding you and my baby girl. But the ones most loyal to your parents in our original team were us, son." Nathan told him and he nodded smiling.

"Well that explains a lot in why Jason took both sides without thinking twice about it and as did Billy now." Tommy said and they nodded. "Unfortunately with the fact that we didn't meet Peter and Mei till a few years later, it's going to result in taking sides. Though with the adult versions they're completely focused, with their kids, they're too hung up on Walker and Barnes to think straight right now." Preston added and he nodded firmly.

"Which brings it to the next set of lyrics now in this situation here, but for 2 years since they left we've been trying to keep this up with them. Until now, and to us, it's we've been trying to uphold a long distance bond of being the original team with them. And since the midpoint of year one of their leaving and we turned to the trio. But that's the catch, and we've had that question spinning in our heads since they left at the moment."

"You see I tried but I had to draw the line, and still this question keeps on spinning in my mind, what if I never let you go, would you be the person I used to know. If I stayed, if you tried and we could turn back time, but I guess we'll never know.'. And the song was right, had they stayed here and we tried harder. And turn that clock back to the day we got the sword, and Zordon left the door open, but they chose to leave at the moment."

"But what if they stayed, we tried harder in the argument and we could turn that around back then. But none of us know the answer to that question now, in us Dino Rangers now, because what happened has become sealed in stone. The added problem was none of us knew why we were connecting to Aisha and the guys this fast. Till we got the answer to that question, when I got thrown into 1894 and met your grandparents."

"But our animals were searching for theirs since we hit your turning into the white ranger, but Thomas was the white ranger of our grandparents team. While the quartet all dressed in the same colors you do now, my soul was searching for you. And when I found you, that was it, there was no going back. But our Ninjetti animals had been searching each other out since I ran into your grandparents now at the time."

"Ten added months after that, our bonds were now completely tightly as we became the next generation. And we moved on, as things changed course we added a new color to the team, and though Jason came back and you and he decided to share in our case, Rocky. But the duo chose differently, and it's the act of having their hearts broken, because they lost us now, because we've tried for two years and we drew the line."

"Finally, that we were tired of waiting to hear from them and we moved on now, with their replacements. And the duo have their colors, and the bond we created as a result of grandparents now. To Adam and Aisha, while in our case, it's the same and we got the answer to that question on Monday now as a result. And it's by choosing to see each other, finally after nine months, that we took the chance and made it last forever now."

"I mean once in a lifetime means no second chances now and we took that chance and made this last forever now. But now the Dino Rangers has 2/3's of the team as Ninjetti, we got the news we can reactivate soon enough as our original selves and Billy, Aisha and I are back to full power in a few months. We fixed all three problems, I mean I'm coming home every day, our powers are getting strong and soon enough here."

"We're back on the job, but either way every question in that song got answered, I took it back and you're still mine honey. While our bonds as brothers and sisters are now so strong nothing is getting between us now." she said and they nodded softly. "We know, but you got the answer to that question, simply by coming to see us on Monday. We tried for months to keep this up in dealing with being separated, because as Ninjetti."

"With our connection in its infancy, it was becoming to hard to keep this up and we drew the line. As dad and Uncle Jim said, you tried, but at a certain time we have to draw the line at trying. But we never wanted to let you go, and if you stayed, if we tried harder and we could turn back time. Well we got the answers to those questions now, and it's you're not retired, you and he get a second chance and we see each other every day."

"For us the questions got answered, for Zack and Trini they can't be, because what's done is done. Its history, it's over it's happened, and we can't change the past, in their case now. In ours, we had to see each other again, none of us realized we still had our powers, but in the end. It's they brought us back together, us as a group of seven, like always." Rocky said to her and she looked at him as Jason said it to her softly at that.

Pulling her into a hug, she pressed her forehead to Rocky's as the original trio saw their colors intertwine and Preston hid a smile at that. Before she did the same with Adam and the ninja duo smiled as they got it. "Spirit sibling bond Pres', by doing this, she belongs to my son and Rocky." Dillon said, before they saw her turn to Jason and pressed her forehead to his and Preston smiled as their colors automatically intertwined together.

"They just snapped their connection back into place here at the moment, more than just adoptive siblings. Their bonds as Rangers just got put back into place and they're back together, I'm guessing Zack never thought to do this with her. When they saw each other on Monday at the time though, and that's a fatal mistake. Because by not, the cord is fraying and if this keeps up its going to snap." James said to him and he nodded to him.

"Yeah and in which case she's right, what if your kids never left, they tried harder in the argument of their not leaving. Let alone we could turn back time to the day of the peace talks selection process. And their friendship could be salvaged, but now it's sealed in stone and we may never know the answer to those questions. But we do in our children's cases, because we got the answers to that in one week." Jake added and she nodded.

"In my case, we fixed that problem, because I decided, it's my family over my love life and I just snapped my bond with her and the guys back into place. And I'm about to make five new friends with the quintet, but for the duo. She's completely correct, what if we never left, if they tried harder in the debate over leaving. And we could turn back time to the day of the selection process, and no, we can't answer those questions now."

"Because it's already sealed in stone, and it's history, it's over, it's happened and we can't change it now no matter how much they want to. Sis, I understand the feelings now, but I'm still your Rex, nothing's changed and nothing ever will. You got the answers to your question for the five of us, but him. He has to be the one to answer them, once he gets his head on straight." Jason said to her and she wrapped her arms around him.

"And in which case I'm still the man you know as are they, we're still your brothers and mate, nothing's changed. Because once we activate our new regime on Monday, the acts just tighten up further now. You don't have to keep second guessing yourself now, you have the answer to those questions. And we took the chance and we're happy we have you back and we know you feel the same now." Tommy added to her softly, smiling.

"Yeah I know and I took it back and you're still mine, we took this chance and made the change, but I think that's the mistake Scrooge took at the time. If he could change things, he would have, but look at what his choices resulted in. He lost his girlfriend forever and he was left alone for life with her suffering a broken heart. We took it back and made the change and we're together forever now at the moment and with it.

"I think if I said we could take another chance in bringing it back to the start again, I don't know if he'd take the chance. Or if he prayed he never left my side at the time, to him he was always my protector until you came into the picture, Tommy. With you it's a matter of love, him it's a matter of friendship and sibling bonds 12 years together. And with that, I belong to Adam now as we're Ninjetti now, but that's the point now."

"And that's actually the problem right now, it's not you five that have to answer that question, these questions, it's Zack now. I mean I'm the female leader of the team and your animals omega, but Darren never imprinted on her. And until he decided who he wishes to imprint on, Zack is stuck now, to Darren. I'm his entire world, and with that that's the point of this song now." she said and they nodded as Billy answered her gently.

"Maybe, but though I imprinted on Kat, you're my omega, you're my entire world, her my everything and together you make up my entire life. But I'm a pack animal, but you always mattered more to me since we were the last two of our childhood gang left here. To me though I wish you never left, I was relieved when you came home and we could talk this over, you're my sister, my omega, my entire world, I'm never letting go."

"But to us we never needed to question this, because by you coming to see us on Monday, every question in that song got answered now. You never let us go and we're still those men you know still now. And even if you stayed, before Mondo came into the picture, we never knew whether we still had our powers after the conduit was destroyed. But now we do, we can get you back to full power, and keep you strong as well now."

"We have the answer to in regarding turning back the clock as well, because what spell's Rita left on her, all it takes is being in your precense. And the three of us are ourselves again, but turning back the clock and we take the chance. And make it last by returning to Phaedos, you get a second boost and you're back finally. We have the answers to those questions, it's going to be fine." Billy said and she tightened her arms around him.

"That question was always at the forefront for all of us, we tried for nine months in trying to deal with being separated from you and you from us till finally we drew the line on Monday. You came to see us and while you and Tommy decided on a step back, we all decided to tighten our bonds as Ninjetti. And in the end we got the answer to that question, we're still the men you know, and we never changed and never will here, Kim."

"We're your brothers and sisters, nothing's going to change and nothing ever will now for us, we got the answer to those questions, and in that particular song and look at us. We're now wearing our medallions, in power coin size finally, you fixed your relationship by deciding to see us every day and with it now. We're about to return to our original colors again, while adding 3 more to the rainbow." Adam said to her smiling then.

"Well I see why the Christmas Carol was such a big deal because with what we've seen so far now, it's that Zack is the one dealing with it now. He's gone from being the guy we knew as kids when we were just starting out, to dealing with the fact, that, in 2 1/2 years, everything that mattered to him, he's lost it and he's in a soul searching exercise. But the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future was the point of this conversation."

"And for 10 years it was always a quintet, and to him, Billy and me, nothing mattered more to us then you girls. After we became a team the bonds tightened up further, and the results are, now, that with the addition of a six ranger. That things change, you don't need us in the way you did before. Because you have Tommy now, as your imprint, and he's the one protecting you now with us gone." Jason said and she nodded to him.

"Yeah that's an understatement right now and it's the added side effect of being a father at the moment, son. Till you kids reach 12 years old, we: us and you, are the only men in our daughters lives, till they meet the right one and once that happens. Though she loves us, but not in that same way anymore, which is the case now. Though she loves us, as her brothers and uncles, her father, she doesn't depend on us for protection."

"Because she has her boyfriend and, if her father-one-in-law is a cop or soldier, she has them to protect her now. But that's the added side effect of growing up now, as men, either fathers or brothers, though in our case, uncles. She'll always love us, just not in the same way anymore, though I know she'd never give us up that quickly. With our gang being a team now and with those words in mind right now, honey, what is that?"

"What are those medallions around your necks exactly baby, if this is why our kids are getting jealous?" Peter asked and she sighed as she removed her's, before two more appeared on the table and he grabbed them to see the cords in orange and silver. "Whoa, wait these look like the power coins on the tv show and ..., no, no you're not serious, baby you guys are the...?" Mei started to say and she nodded to her gently.

"We are Aunt Mei, I'm the original pink ranger, Billy and Jason the original red and blue, your kids are the original black and yellow and Tommy finished off the team. And as the original green, but that's not the case anymore, because the Desantoses, Parks and Campbells were living in Angel Grove, 1894. I got the quintet together and took my place as their pink ranger, but their quintet, now are my sextet's past lives now."

"We were meant to become the Ninjetti six power team, you guys: you, Uncle Peter and Uncle Preston, were meant to become the second Ninjetti team. Along with you three are Aunts Andrea and Erica and the finishing touch to your team is Uncle Doug. But as we were first, this connected the guys and me to the trio's past lives trio. But all in all, this is why your kids are getting jealous, because I belong to their replacements now."

"As we already had this problem, when we went from six to nine, the six of us had a bond from the day we saved Jacob from going down that hill. But the duo are getting jealous, because they don't want to share us, the guys and me, with Adam and Aisha. Because to them, they still think they're the black and yellow rangers, that we're still in the first 18 months of our time as power ranger, after Tommy joined the team."

"But the ones who were around for my accident nine months ago was Adam and Aisha, and believe me, this was enough to scare them and their parents out of their wits at the time. But that's the reason I decided, I nearly decided, to quit my gymnastics, and it's because of Billy, I stay here, and I stay with what's left of my childhood quintet. I don't and I'm all alone after that, and he's suffering the very same dilemma as well."

"That's why I came back, I had to see the guys and Kat, she didn't realize it, but her spirit animal, Kalina, had bonded to me, she's the third member of my girl trio. Before I connected to Tanya and that did it, we created a quartet and the duo are jealous now that they've been replaced. But it's because of what you once taught us, change is part of evolution, and you can't stop the change, the guys and me, we grew up now."

"Made new friends, got offered two life changing decisions and in the middle of it got hurt. Billy and me, we're the ones they don't want to share, because they're still stuck in the past 11 years. But we grew up, made new friends, got offered two life changing decisions and in the middle of it got hurt. For him, it was because of the explosion at the command center and the fact that he got the news he's graduating early now."

"For me, it's mom getting transferred to Paris and my getting chosen by my coach, and I lost my power coin, and collapsed and got the chance to get into the Pan Globals. We're no longer those kids you remember growing up, we changed and grew up with our powers and made and created a new quintet out of this. Tommy, Billy and I made new friends and everything's changed and not as it once was at the moment, for us now."

"If things changed this much, it's time to change the rules, and with the fact you all busted us, we're free to act as who we really are now with you. But we all chose never to live that lie again and frankly none of us want to fight this war, if we can't play it our way now." she said and they both nodded in understanding. "So this is what you meant when you said that, as that song was really saying why they lost now in you and the duo."

"Until two years ago you never been away from home and though in a different town, the one constant was you always had each other. Till now and the advanced training now has you on your own, with us at your side and. You're wishing we could change that. But that explains why the quintet are showing resentment?" Mei asked and she nodded. "Yeah alright that's enough of this, Zack needs to get that now." Peter said to her firmly at that.

"With you guys, you're both much stronger then they are, because you're completely focused, you kept the bond we had, because I kept coming to see you guys. As my parental quintet, you're mom's best friends and you raised me and Billy. That's the connection we have and it's like it always was. With them that's not the case anymore, because they got too caught up in what's going on over there now, as you taught us."

"Friendship is a two way street, and though we both sent them tons of letters and called them, nearly every day, we've only heard from the duo a handful of times. And in both ways, that's the reason for this, and for why the friendship has gone from friendship, to resentment. But they stopped trying and we both decided we had enough and finally drew the line now." she told them and they both nodded as they pulled them into a hug.

Burying her head into Peter's shoulder, he gently rocked her at that. "Well that sums it up in everything we need to know now. You guys are the Power Rangers, so let me take a guess, but you started dressing in these colors. Ever since the power rangers appeared and not long after that you started wearing the watches that were lined with their colors. And when you disappeared on us the power rangers appeared and when the fight's over."

"They disappeared and you came back, you guys are the mighty morphin power rangers, but your clothes marked the color of each ranger. Alright, so they asked your new quartet to take care of you and they have done it so much. They replaced our kids, and in everything our children used to have with you both. And now it's turned into a squabbling match, two sets of the same colors and while the Reds decided to share."

"The black and yellow's are fighting over you and Billy right now, alright that's enough of this, your parents and I had this exact same problem till we fixed that. And the adult ninja trio and we and Preston agreed we can co-exist with each other and share your parents and we're the best of friends as a result. But we got to get this under control and fast, before it puts you back in the hospital baby." Mei said to her gently and she nodded.

"So the first season and the first half of the second season it was you guys all this time, that was why you always dressed in these colors, and disappeared on us. You guys are the original power team, before the trio and Kat came into the picture?" She said to her and she, Jason and Billy all nodded. "We are mom, fact of the matter is Zordon chose us, because we already had a bond and said bond was we've been friends all our lives."

"Our childhood gang became the chosen ones to wield the powers and a gang became a team, before Tommy came into the picture. And we went from a quintet to a sextet and we've stayed that way ever since in the trio's cases now. But we decided to swap off now, if we get called in this weekend, I'm taking the red ranger, Kim: Pink, Billy: Blue, Aisha: Yellow and Tommy, back to being dressed in green once again, so this way."

"The nine of us each get a turn and speaking of which, hey Dame, is Billy able to use the zeonizers now?" Jason asked and the wolf spirit sitting there next to Kat explained that to them gently. "Yeah, I fixed the abnormality, he's ready to morph back into his uniform once again, next once he takes on these powers. So he's dressing in a darker tinge of his normal blue though, but here's the real problem now."

"But ever since the guys, Lexa and I got unlocked at the time, Kim has been the trio's original pink ranger ever since. So this continues and crosses the line and I don't have to hear the words. But they cross that line and she's choosing the trio now and Kat is your new pink and Kim belongs to them, to Rocky and Adam now as their pink ranger." he said and the adult quintet exchanged looks at that.

"They cross that line and Kimberly and her mother belong to us after that?" Jake repeated and he nodded. "Added side effects dad, but when we took on these powers, we became the red, black and yellow permanently after that. And Kim is our original pink ranger, so there's no changing these facts now, they gave up their chance to stay in their colors forever. And with that, 80% of the gang chose her without thinking twice about it at the moment as well too."

"But to us it's the act of her being connected to us now, there's no point in fighting over her when the powers themselves made their claim. As to that right now, though Damian, Elena and I are pack animals, we chose once we heard the added truth. Regarding that letter and it's a no choice needed, no choosing side we choose both sides, but the duo, that's exactly the problem right now."

"The fact that they're too hung up on Darren's ex mate is exactly the problem, and as a result. It's they're taking sides in something that Shalimar told us to stay out of, but with Shalimar telling us immediately that ends the taking sides notion. And we take both sides and I think Curt contacted him, right after the letter arrived, but that sums it up." they heard as a red flash appeared at that.

As they saw a gorilla the size of the duo that were already there and he nodded. "Jesse?" Maria asked and he nodded. "Yeah mom, it's me, like I said, I chose her without thinking twice about it, but she needs me and Rex most. And in addition to Damian now, Rex and I decided we're sharing in being the big brother to her. But as I'm the one wearing his new shade, I'm her Ninjetti red now as a result."

"But there's no point in arguing over her, when Lexa, Tobin and I took on these powers and came out. It connected us together forever, she, Damian and Brennan belong to us now and while Rex and I decided we were sharing. Darren and Bella are fighting over them with Tobin and Lexa, but the fight is futile, our humans are now their sextet, for life." he said and the trio nodded firmly.

"Added issues regarding this problem right now, are that Janet and I already had this discussion with you two. And yet they just took it back in the fact that by not calling every day, not writing they did this to themselves, Peter, Mei. But this is what we meant, for Janet and me, for Jake, Nathan, Andy and Jim, we just had the life scared out of us. Regarding this, because we didn't tel you that truth till now at the moment."

"But the kids told us she was suffering the added weakened effects of being over worked and pushing to hard in her gymnastics. And the kids and Zordon decided she was only being called in when necessary, Gunther saw it immediately. And he decided to slow down her training, but five interruptions in one day, that did it finally. When she collapsed nine months ago and we're scared out of our minds that it's going to happen again here."

"But if we don't get this under control now, that could happen, with us busting the kids that brings the real truth to the fore. She's the youngest of the sextet. But when we started getting together every day, we started acting like adoptive parents Janet especially. And if they break her heart, then it's going to cause Draco to go back on the rampage, and if he gets his hands on that dagger, it's going to start all over again."

"That's the reason for the letter, to prevent Draco from going back on the rampage." Dillon told him and his eyes narrowed. "Draco, who is Draco?" Ron asked and Kim answered that question. "He's the green ranger that got unleashed on the town after the Olivers moved here. To put the bluntly, the way you see dad, and Tommy, is he's the good green ranger, this is what Dragon is like when he's completely himself right now."

"When turned to the darkside, stay out of his way, because he's Darth Vader without the mask. The 5 of us, us originals, had known this for three years since we met Tommy, but if turned evil or placed under a spell of that caliber. And he gets his hands on the dagger it's going to start all over again and by that I mean. It's when we had him going on a rampage throughout the business district, Uncle Peter, Aunt Mei, do you remember that."

"The Dragonzord going on a rampage downtown until the five of us showed up and briefly neutralized him. Before the green ranger joined the team?" she asked and their eyes widened as they got it. "That wasn't my son, that was his alter ego?!" James said quickly and she nodded. "Yes, I know and we've been trying to keep him out of range of the duo ever since, I'm his weakspot, so guess what's going to happen if he wakes up."

"And the reason being they broke my heart and just barely landed me in mom's care?" she said and the sextet nodded as they got it. "Draco, oh god, you mean to tell me if Rita gets her hands on him, or Mondo does. And it's going to start all over again, if he gets his hands on the dragon dagger?!" Mei said in shock at the news. "Yeah that's exactly what we're saying, and she's trying to prevent a third rampage by keeping him focused."

"This was the only option, she's the only one who can prevent another rampage downtown. But of ten, only five have the knowledge regarding Draco and Jason is the only one who's an exact match in fighting abilities with him." Jake told her and they nodded. "What's the danger regarding that dagger exactly anyway?" Erica asked and James answered that question as he felt his heart turn over at the memory.

"The added effect of it is it's a flute, it calls Dragon in from the pier and it controls him in his zord form. Which is the Dragonzord, alright, alright, imagine we were the kids and I was now transformed back into my original uniform. And I had the flute and he's going on a rampage through the business district until Preston neutralized him. Before getting into a fight with me until he destroyed the sword keeping me under Rita's spell."

"The added side effect of being free of that spell is that every time I lose my temper, my eyes start glowing green. When I'm pissed or I'm turned evil, and placed under a spell of that caliber. The only one who can keep up with me, and match me, move for move, is Preston and this is to be your first fight with me as a truly evil me. And the only one who can get through to me is Carrie, okay." he said and the quartet closed their eyes at that.

"Jesus, no wonder she's worried sick about this, alright I get the point, what now exactly, the duo are not focusing on this danger. And are too hung up on Walker to think straight right now?" Andrea asked and he sighed. Before he could answer they heard five roars, a wolf howl, two bird screeches, a croak and a furious meow. "Did someone leave the tv going right now?" Jamie said quickly and the twins quickly looked up at that.

"Oh man!" Tony said as he grabbed the remote as he turned it all the way up. "Three, two, one." Kim said and Rocky quickly shouted out the words, as they heard a low growl beginning to build up. "Cover up guys, now." he said as they all heard a furious dinosaur roar as they covered their ears as he pressed the play button as they heard an echo to cover up the noise as it died down and their parents dropped their hands at that.

"Jeez, well if that doesn't do it nothing will, smart move son, great two birds, Jim and Carrie, five roars, but that's Erica, Peter, Mei, Jake and Janet. A meow, that's Andy, a croak, that's Dillon, a howl and that's Nathan and I'm the last of the eleven of us to go off at the moment here in that. Dang it, out of the nine of us in the room, I'm the loudest of us at the moment, because I'm a fully grown buck, what now exactly baby?"

"You know the most about this?" Preston asked as he looked at her gently. "Preston's right Kim, you know the most regarding the real reason you wrote that letter, what now baby?" Andrea repeated and she sighed. "The spell is neutralized in my presence Aunt Andrea, but..., that maybe our only chance, by forcefully dragging them here. As you guys busted us, you know the truth now and with it, we have to do this repeatedly."

"Alright hang on, I think we can fix this problem." Kim said as she activated her communicator. "Whatcha you doing exactly?" Tony asked and she smiled. "You remember us constantly going to our mentor, for advice these last four years?" she asked and the trio nodded. "Well, you're seeing the duo teleport into the room like you saw us for the original 18 months guys." he said and they nodded as she got on line with their mentor.

"So we're hearing his voice for real then in the way we saw it on tv all this time sis?" Jamie asked and she nodded. "Yeah Zordon turned into a father for us since we became ranger and my double wasn't exaggerating that when she said he'd become father to the eleven of us. As for Dulcea, she's our Ninjetti mentor and surrogate mother now, but both of them made a difference in our lives." she said and he nodded as she said it.

"Zordon, as we already discussed here, we're not playing with the powers, but if I know the duo they never removed their communicator. So with that, the rules got altered, Billy created our communicators and the rules stated that there's no taking advantage of the powers or telling our loved ones who we are. But our parents busted us, as did the guys younger brothers, so with that in mind right now, we can do a show and tell this way."

"So nine of eleven possibly know our identities, and their parents already figured it out now as well, so they're seeing us as who we are now. The original team is being the one targeted and it's time we make that clear now to these two, so with at in mind. Drag the duo to Jason's house, and terminate the link so they can't leave. But life lessons 101: what is a true friend and relationships 101: long distance relationships."

"Because we're giving the full riot act with their parents before we do it again with mom and Aunt Janet. The duo's adult versions just figured it out now, so that's everyone still in Angel Grove that deserves to know that. As for added field duty like we discussed, if Mondo starts up again this weekend as well." she said and they heard a deep voice answer her as the adult nine exchanged looks at this as they got it immediately.

"Alright Kimberly, as we decided it's not toying with the powers and to keep them from screwing with your relationship. It's we have to bend the rules, but as I was monitoring your conversations with the adult 7 and I already know that your brothers caught you as well boys, I'll let that go. But until the others figure it out, do it like we decided, alright." he said and she nodded to the request.

"No problem Zordon, but my coach, Ernie, and Lieutenant Stone also figured it out, and if Mrs. Applebee has well. Then that's everyone that needed and needs to know regarding this at the moment, but 1) we agreed not to take advantage of our powers. 2) never escalate the attack or fight if we can't win. 3) until we get caught by the adults we just do it duel layer like we discussed, 4) we can use our communicators to get around."

"5) we can train in our robes now when off duty as everyone at school sees this as we're the decoys, until they put two and two together. Though the added short term memory, is they're going to think they're retired until we reveal that truth. Said truth and I've already figured it out, as did the eight, but so long as we wear our communicators we stay active forever." she said and they heard him answer her with a gentle tone.

His tone holding a proud paternal smile in it, as their parents hid their's as he answered her smiling at that. "Yes that's exactly what I have in mind and I got on the line with Dulcea and Ninjor, and they're working on your power coins, Rangers. As soon as the spell is broken on Katherine, you nine are back, once again. With you, boys if you start fighting it hard enough the spell is going to break."

"Preston, Andrea, Erica, with you three gaining strength the more your children are together with the sextet, the stronger they grow in their powers. But the quintet and I have decided that if any of you or their adult friends. Their teachers, figure it out, they can drop the act of being decoys and act like themselves now." he said and they nodded as the trio exchanged looks at that news.

"Hold it, you mean once we as their parents, family and adult friends bust the eleven, they can be themselves with us now?" Erica said and he immediately answered her. "Yes Erica, that's exactly what I mean, as for Zack and Trini, I've already had that conversation with them. But the spell that Rita infused Kat with is interfering with thinking rationally right now and with those words in mind right now."

"I know the five of you are worried about her going back into the field again, but the eight can recharge her until she gains the next upgrade. But she belongs to your sons and Aisha as their pink ranger, because the permanent conversion was they took on these powers. And they're permanently the black and yellow rangers after that, so there is no use fighting over her or the boys."

"Dillon, you, Janet and Jacob are the adult version of your children, you're now the Ninjeti six power team with your version of the pink, blue and white Ninjetti. When they took on the great power last year that ended the fight over the trio, you took their places and colors now. And the trio are now your team mates, permanently now, the bond she's got with you five and Andrea now."

"Nothing can be done to break that bond now, including Rita and Zedd, but I must say this now, that whatever those two say or do, it's of their own free will. If Tommy has that relapse and with Kimberly, it's on their heads if she collapses out of draining herself down that dangerously. But whether they know it or not, as long as they continue to wear their communicators."

"They stay Rangers and if the duo have a relapse, they're the ones getting tried for treason now. Because they aided and abetted our enemies, by not listening and causing Tommy to have that relapse. And Kimberly regarding draining herself until it puts her back in the hospital. I know you are worried about that, but as you saw with Tommy, I can't keep recharging her, it is dangerous."

"However the Rangers can, and it's by use of combining their powers together, and like they did when I channeled too much into Tommy after Rita put you as the ransom, Nathan, Mei, Preston, Peter." he said as they saw the episode in question and the adult quartet exchanged shocked looks at the memory. "That's the reason for why you guys were so relieved to see us when you arrived at Ernie's."

"To you, and her, it was a question of us or your powers and you chose us and..." Preston said as Tommy pulled the power coin out of his pocket. "We gave her our power coins, but I was still holding Tommy's, and we got his powers connected back to his body. And by the jolt the forcefield around the box holding our power coins gave him. And that reactivated his powers and we were back to be a sextet again at the time."

"But though his powers were slightly weaker, with Rita they obtained the necessary jolt to take down her monsters, but five Rangers was enough to beat her. But with Zedd, his powers were getting weaker every day after that, because he's more powerful than Rita. So after he drained the last drop, Zordon created the white tiger thunderzord upgrade and Tommy was chosen as the carrier of the powers." Jason said and Zordon finished it.

"But it was after I heard from Dulcea, my friend who was a ninja master that I quickly learned the added reason. And for why he was getting so weak now after they saved me and restored the command center. But the Rangers powers come from their spirit animals now. But to put this gently, your personality traits, and your abilities come from your animals, so to put this gently now."

"Without their animals they cease to be Rangers and without them their animals become like the ones at the zoo, completely flesh and blood. Your animals are your main source of power, if the connection gets severed, or weakened. Then you start to lose your grip on your abilities till you lose your powers completely which explains how Tommy lost his two years ago."

"Before he became the white ranger and the owner of the falcon powers." he said and they nodded. "Was that why Tommy was getting so weak, they disconnected the link between him and Dragon, before he took on the white ranger powers. And Tiger became his primary after that?" Jamie said and he answered him gently. "Yes Jamie it is, Dragon, your Dragon, is the good green ranger, his alter ego is Draco."

"Draco is the green ranger that did damage to 2/3's of the business district, before we destroyed the sword keeping him under Rita's spell. Tommy had no control over his actions because he was under Rita's influence. And he owned the power and chose to fight against her ever since. But that is why your original power team is being targeted, she wants her green ranger back now."

"That is why Kimberly came back to visit now, he's undergoing a soul searching exercise right now. In fact ever since he took on the Zeo powers, he's lost in who he once was, because of two things. But: 1) because he was once the leader of a sextet. He'd grown used to being in a sextet when working on the job of protecting the town these last 3 1/2 years as a power ranger, at the time."

"And now he's the leader of a quintet and his two original team mates are off the team and he always had Kimberly and Billy with him. Since the very beginning he's had Kimberly and Billy always at his side since he started. And thanks to Zedd, Rita and the machine empire they're not anymore as a result. And as a result he's beyond lonely without his original pink and blue now."

"And reason 2) is because he was always dressed in green or white and now he is in color he doesn't recognize himself in. Kimberly understands this, because she's his imprint, but the only ones who really understand his loss of power on two occasions are her, Jason and Billy. And it's because they were around for his entire career as the green ranger, and that's the problem in her eyes."

"Because though your children say they can understand in her loss of powers and her being this weak. They can't, because now their powers are connected to their life force, and trying to break the link is the reason she ended up in the hospital. But that's why they're holding this much resentment at your children, Mei, Peter, because though Tommy collapsed after losing his powers then."

"They weren't around to see her suffering a repeat of her childhood hospitalization nor were they around to see her collapse right off the balance beam. Let alone had to be the one to get her power coin back, as to why that is. Those spots are hold here by Kat and Billy and that fear is getting worse by the day, the positions are that of a pack behavior traits now and with it."

"Katherine, Billy and Aisha are her alpha's third and fourth, her best friends, and the trio, let alone Tommy, Rocky and Adam are scared out of their minds. That once she reactivates, that she gets called in so much she's going to work herself until it does now. Now that the quartet decided to reactivate, especially if it happens again right now, but we're doing this in the way we did it before."

"She won't be called in until we really need her, but she's going to have enough charge to fight the enemy troops. Let alone Scorpina, Goldar and Rito, but until she gets a secondary boost to her ninja powers. It's she's no longer fighting any monsters, though to save Tommy. And I know she's thinking this right now, she'd do what he did, and drain every drop to keep from losing him now."

"But that's the reason for the resentment right now." he said and the adult nine all nodded. "Alright, I understand that now, but I can guess the reason you didn't want us or anyone learning you chose a group of teenagers. Is because we were likely to have a heart attack when we found out said teenagers are no older than 14 years old?" Preston asked and they heard a sigh as he answered him gently as the quartet exchanged looks.

"Indeed Preston, that's it exactly, because at this age you still were dealing with the acts of..., alright. But do you recall the second Star Trek series and the doctor's son was now working his part time job under her husband's former commander. And she thought he'd taken on too many many responsibilities when he was only fifteen?" he asked and they all nodded to his question gently.

As the group looked at their own children and sighed at the remark. "Yeah, and I understand her feelings regarding that now, but our children's original responsibilities. Prior to that were school, chores and looking after their younger brothers and sisters, but I'd consider this an even bigger job then that. Though if my son and Carrie's daughter have a baby sometime in the next two years and that's an even bigger responsibility."

"Then the original parts, how long before they turn the torch over to someone else, so they can retire exactly?" James asked and he heard him explain that to them. "After they gain the next upgrade, but it takes choosing the right people to get a correct match. But your children had a connection from the day I chose them. But though they pass that upgrade to the next candidates later on."

"They have to fix the connection between them, and though the Ninjetti Six is in one piece. Your team, the Dino ranger team, has to be fixed in order for your children, Mei, Peter, to gain their full control over their Ninjetti powers. But Ninjor, Dulcea and I have a way to fix that, if this results in Justin activating before he's ready to right now." he said and they nodded as Preston said it firmly.

"Yeah alright, thank you for clarifying that, but regarding her powers and this issue of the letter, then enough is enough. Zordon, if you have a link to their communicators, get the duo and bring them here. Right now, because as the original sextet, we're the ones who this concerns right now." Preston said with a firm tone as two beams in yellow and black appeared in the living room at that and the adult quintet nodded as he said it firmly.

"Well there's the next clue now, but you got a link to Zordon, you're dressed in your colors, you're wearing these radios and you just started wearing your medallions. Well with that in mind right now, alright you two, care to explain to us why you're taking sides in something that's absolutely of your business right now?" Preston asked sternly as the duo both turned at his voice and they looked at Kim and the trio at that in shock.

Seeing her and the trio with their arms crossed, they got it. "Guys, Kat, Aisha, Tanya, you better stand by, this is between us and our original team." Tommy said and the quintet nodded. "Nice touch isn't it, that the fact that your parents see the power blast, see you dressed in your original colors. And seeing you beam into the room like our identities, you connecting the dots right now to why we brought you home, you two?"

"Because your parents have already figured it out by learning through the tv show and what the heck has been going on to us ever since Rita appeared on the moon. Well let me tell you, compared to Tommy, I'm the one in a more dangerous situation right now. His powers are not connected to his life force, and he's not the one who ended up in the emergency room 9 months ago." she said to them sternly and they swallowed at that.

"You say you know how the duo feel, well to us it's don't insult our intelligence in that right now, or did you forget who ended up in the hospital 9 years ago. Who they're obsessed with in using to turn our sixth ranger back to the darkside, who saved your asses on ten occasions. Who you asked the duo to take care of and who knows every facet weakness in these spells, Darren, why don't you and Bella show yourselves now."

"But I want you Siberian huskie puppy sized, okay guys." he said and two flashes in Orange and silver appeared then as a green flash appeared as well as they saw a lion and black Panther cub and a Sabertooth tiger cub sitting in front of them. "Alright don't tell me, you're Justin's Panther aren't you?" she asked, looking at the cub smiling and they saw a look of love in his eyes at her as he answered her smiling at that.

"Yeah sis, I am, my name is Logan, I'm the final piece of your team big brother, but the second my human makes his choice. Not only do I get unlocked, but as does my father. Though dad will not take it well that Bella and Darren's humans are taking sides in something that is none of their business right now." he said and Jason nodded with a bemused look on his face and Jamie nodded in agreement.

"Not that I blame your father for that, it's family business only, so you're the youngest member to my side of the power team. Right now I really hope we don't have to bring you in till after we pass the torch over to someone else, little brother. But we do, and these two are in serious trouble for it right now." Jason said to him with a bemused look on his face as he looked at his father who the same look on his face as Jamie said it.

"And while I'm on the subject, just what gives you the right to takes sides when none of this is your business, we're her brothers, we're allowed to know. Aisha is adopted as well, she's family, so with that fact in mind. Is it just because she told us first that you're taking sides right now, or is it because you're ticked off that she did what you didn't and you're throwing your resentment on her?" Jamie added as he leaned into her side then.

"Kim, have you lost your mind, what are you doing?!" Zack said in shock and Mei answered that. "It's too late young man we already figured it out tonight, and that's nine of eleven right now." she told him and Kim looked at her. "You two Aunt Mei, you know now?" she asked and the adult duo nodded. "Seeing them beam into the room in those colors was enough of a clue and hearing his voice is enough to help as well baby."

"And with that, we can put two and two together and we're seeing this as you're the power rangers, or, more accurately, you're the mighty morphin power rangers. And in both versions now, so this was why you kept disappearing on us at the weirdest times. Well now that we know that, that brings it to why we brought you both home young man, Zachary I believe we already had this conversation before you left at the time."

"So care to tell me why you're throwing the fact that she did what you didn't as a reason to be holding a grudge at her and the boys. Because the only ones who deserved to take sides in this were the girls, because they only just met her in the last nine months. While in the case of the duo, it's the same, they just met her two years ago, but then as did Aisha, but the trio became their new gang after you, Jason Lee and Trinity left."

"Us on the other hand, we've been together since you Cubs were four years old, so tell me, why take sides when they said stay out of it." Peter said sternly and he swallowed hard at that. "Dad let them both have it, but the look on their faces last night was beyond afraid." Jason told him and he nodded. "Well your father did my and her mother's talking for both of us right now, but your father when he loses his temper now, son."

"I never want that temper on me and whatever they said or were thinking turned it on our cubs last night." Peter said with bemused smile as he looked at his son, who was looking at him shaking, she exchanged looks with Billy and he nodded. "Two things involved in this right now Wolf?" Tommy asked and he nodded. "Yes, one is the alpha male syndrome and the other is short term memory." he said to him firmly at that.

"When separated it's a case of short term memory, in my presence you guys are back to normal. When not you can't remember we had this conversation, and Andromeda takes control, when I'm with you it goes neutral?" she said and Billy nodded. "Affirmative, it's the act of us being in your presence, we act like normal with you. And when not Adromeda has us, time's up, we must bring them home, now, before it gets worse."

"I'm not having you getting any worse Crane, my crane." he said and she smiled as she answered him. "My werewolf." she said and Jason looked at them. "Like we guessed one piece is the pack behavior imperative and the other is when I'm not around here. Is that Andromeda is bringing out the added side effects, it's as we guessed. But when turned evil or under a spell that turns you evil, you say the truth no matter how much it hurts."

"In the case of the person you're bashing, it's not me he's ticked off at, he's pissed she's dumped him for Jake at the moment and he's throwing that anger at me. And she's furious she broke his heart and with the fact we caught her, before Curt called him. That's saves this from getting anymore out of hand then it has already. So with that in mind right now at the moment, the adult gang has to be the one to lay into these two."

"Because no matter how many times we tell them that truth, it's they got it stuck in their minds I'm dating college guys. Said college guys are my brother and his best friend and said best friend is my adoptive cousin. But consider this now, I'm always with Tommy after school and practice. So when would I have the time to be dating anyone exactly right now?" she asked and the duo swallowed at the remark as she finished that.

"To them, it's easier to believe the lie then what I did was for the best and I did what he didn't do, but that did it now and I made it clear. They choose that choice, they lose me anyway, but you needed to know this as Uncle Preston did your talking for you." she and the duo paled as their adult versions crossed their arms at that. "Thank you for telling us cub, alright Pres', we'll take it from here." Mei said and they swallowed hard at that news.

"So why don't you put this in a rational step baby girl, you told us this at dinner, how could you possibly have the time to be dating anyone else. Once we get these papers signed and your my daughter." Melissa asked and she nodded as Trini saw the necklace and paled. "Your eyes are not playing tricks on you, that was promise necklace, she belongs to my son, forever." James said as she hugged him tightly and he smiled at her.
