The White Falcon and the Pink Crane

Disclaimers: I own nothing of the characters or the show which belong to Haim Saban and Disney. The story-line belongs to me, everything else belongs to Saban and the Disney company.

Warnings: From here now there is going to be a repeat of the same conversation and decisions. As they show the duo the amount of anger that Rocky is holding in at them, for not coming back when they needed them most. Seeing why she was so furious at them they see why she turned to their doubles and the fact that this is before she and Billy lay into them both.

So there going to be is an edit to the show verse as they rewound their memories back to the day. That they switched powers then, as if they never lost their powers as Ninjetti and the show verse never happened. As the Ninjetti, Kat, Tanya and Jason see the editing of the quintet's Zeo beginning. And the team heard the decision as she and Tommy chose their current option.

The first part and most of the second of the Zeo Beginning is going to be rewritten as though Kim was there the entire time for it. Starting from that day leading into the letter and they come to a decision and a new way. Regarding their relationship as they decide what to do about things for their team now. Making a decision on their current stature and where to take it between them.

Chapter 24: The Anger Of The Crane, Rex And Wolf I

"This situation reminded me of the day when he named me leader of the team, but though Billy was there, I wished you and Jason were too. A new beginning for me, like when I switched colors and he gave me Saba as my activation as Leader. Before we added the trio next and gain our Ninjetti powers, same thing. The ones I wanted there for it were you, Billy and Jase', my quartet." Tommy said as they watched the episode.

As Tommy put himself on the left next to Adam as they went into their new alignment, with Kat on the right and him on the left. As Kim and Billy stood of to the right as they began the ceremony then as Zordon said it then. As he looked between them as he started it. "Power rangers a new day has dawned for us, and the time has come for you to accept the powers of the Zeo crystal, these are your Zeo-nizers."

"They will allow you to morph and call upon your Zeo powers, value them and and protect them like you did your morphers and Power coins."he said and Kim smiled at the start of the new beginning then as she listened to her mentor. "Alright here goes, good luck guys."Billy said and the quintet smiled at him then as Zordon went further at that gently remark as they got into position then for the ceremony.

Before the crystal broke apart and each of their crystal and colors appeared over their heads then as he said it. "Rangers your courage and sacrifice has brought us the Zeo crystal, it will bestow upon you powers beyond your imagination. Katherine from this moment you will be known as Zeo Ranger I, pink, Tanya. You will be Zeo Ranger II, yellow, Rocky you will be Zeo Ranger III, blue, Adam."

"The power of Zeo Ranger IV, belongs to you." he said as the last crystal glowed and Tommy was bathed in a red light. "And you, Tommy, from this moment on you will be Zeo Ranger V, Red." he finished as he turned into the leader of the Quintet and Alpha said it with a smile then. "They are amazing Billy, Kimberly."he said and they nodded in agreement as the quintet removed their new helmets then gently.

"Rangers the power of the Zeo crystals now rests in you, how do you feel?" Zordon asked and Tommy said it gently."Aw man, I feel totally energized." he said and Adam nodded smiling."Me too." he said and Zordon said it gently to that."Well you have many new tools at your disposal, those will be revealed in time, I am very proud of all of you, you have now become the Power Rangers Zeo."

"The next level in the fight against evil." he said and Billy smiled then. "Okay guys this is the first test with your new powers, good luck." he said and they nodded."Thanks for everything, Billy." he said and Billy nodded as she looked at Tommy. "Go get 'em, tiger." she said and he grinned at that remark, at the reminder of his first upgrade and Zordon chuckled at the remark as James smiled at the reminder.

"Nice way of encouraging my son to get back in the game, baby, if this doesn't make it any clearer, nothing ever does. He has you to come back to when the fight is over and once again they're victorious. He's about to get a heck of a lot stronger as he throws everything he has at these Cog's and Mondo's lieutenants now finally." Melissa said smiling at the look on Tommy's face at her encouragement then to him.

"The weight of possible failure was making it hard to breathe, but with me there, I gave him the strength to keep going. He could do it, but knowing my belief in him was all he needed to make him strong again. We had a situation like this before on the island of illusion, first him to me, then me to him. He needs me to keep going, listen to you heart and because of you I got the strength to start." Kim said and they nodded smiling then.

"There is more to life when we listen to our heart and because of you, I got the strength to start." Tommy said smiling as she leaned into him smiling. "Everyday of our lives." he added and she smiled. "I want to find you there, want to hold on tight." she said wrapping her arms around his and he left his head on hers. And his parents smiled at the way they were together as James sighed as he looked at Preston who nodded to him.

"Guys jump over the fight and take us right to the command center, the end of the episode is being filmed in the command chamber. Before they decide to take a step back and the team is ressurrected with the original trio and Aisha returning to duty part time." James said and the tv flashed in white to answer him, as 3 hours later they were hanging out in the command chamber, looking at the tubes holding who they used to be.

"What a day, we switch from being our old selves to new colors, we learn we still have the link open and both of you girls are gone and off the team now." Rocky said as he rested his hand on the window of the tube that contained his uniform. "This new uniform is not me, that is me." Tommy said as he was looking at his own and Adam nodded sadly as he looked at his uniform, feeling the pain at that loss.

"The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or the Ninjetti 6, we can't be gone completely, there must be some way to know that we can still do it?" Adam said as they looked at their old uniforms. "There is Adam, the power coins were a conduit, we are inside you, just a few weeks, since they turned us into cubs. But you can still morph, just call out and we will do the rest, this was a test."

"One we needed you to understand as she realized your link was still open, and came to you, even without the morphers and power coins. You can still call on us, Shal is a little weak, still but she can still do it in Kim's case."Lexa said and they nodded. "Zordon, bring Aisha back for a couple hours, one chance to keep us linked and then we tell Jason." Kim said and he nodded to the request then gently.

As a yellow flash lit up the room. "Whoa, are you guys missing me already, I've been gone only a few hours?" she said and they chuckled as that did it. "We tapped the link it still works Sha'." Kim told her and she smiled as she moved to her and gave her a hug. "One chance, we grab that boulder and turn back time to our original time-line now, so you to Trini and back and then Tanya, Aisha, but here it is."

"Lexa just told us that the power coins are conduit, so we can try this without the morphers and we start up again, you, Kim and I are retired supposedly. But when is a ranger not a ranger, and we just got the answer to that question. But she put her's back on you have your's on and I'm wearing mine. So when is a ranger not a ranger here." Billy added and she nodded as she got it then gently.

"We're only retired once we choose to stop wearing these, we're not retired at all, alright, so if Lexa paged you, Kimberly channeled your powers. Just to give her enough energy to get her communicator, activated it and came here. To report in, who was it who caused you guys to change colors?" she asked and he explained it. "The Machine Empire." Tommy said and she nodded to him at the news.

"Uh oh, I've seen that look on Jason before, when he's close to exploding out of anger, or just holding in a lot of pain. The last time I saw it was when we were cubs and he lashed out as a result of Kim ending up in the hospital thanks to Ken and Jenson. Taking that anger out on a punching bag till he collapsed out of exhaustion, emotional exhaustion." Jamie said looking at the image of his brother's successor and they nodded gently.

"He's been wanting to say this ever since Kim's hospitalization after collapsing from the first time, but Uncle Nathan told my parents this wasn't the first time. To Tommy and Billy, let alone Kat, they decided to wait there in the waiting for for her to wake up. Just wait for it, but honestly, guys, where the hell were you guys when we needed you right now?" Aisha said to the duo and Jason crossed his arms as the duo swallowed hard.

As Kim gave Rocky a hug and he pulled her into him tightly and she nodded as she buried her face into his neck. "That was us, Kim and me, when we were growing up, she knew I needed her, but after Jenson, this was her response. IN attempt to corral the amount of anger and grief in me, before it exploded. I felt that when Tommy's time as the green ended and they were close to being next." Jason said and Rocky nodded firmly.

"Zedd and Rita finally pushed him one too far where the girls were concerned, and her dropping into check now. Was enough he finally said what needed to be said as he hated the duo, but this was the birth of the song that Tommy created. If things continued in the same direction they were heading, but with all I lost my heart is breaking. I don't want to make the same mistakes, Zedd, Rita and her family and now Mondo took everything."

"And I mean everything, away from us, starting with Crane." Adam said and he felt his own anger boiling in him at the fact thry took the girls from them. And then wrecked their lives as power rangers as Tommy and Billy moved to sit in a single line. "Zedd and Rita have a lot to account for and someone is going to pay if they ever come back. And I mean every word of that." Tommy added and the adult Ninjetti nodded to him then.

"Rocky, are you alright?" Zordon asked him and he shook his head. "Guys we say this together, as we all feel this, they just tore apart our gang of seven and most of all. Our ninjetti team, they tore apart our team in an attempt to get rid of us right now. But honestly the people we blame are the judges of the qualifying rounds. With them the junior good will talks judges for taking Jason away and most of all is the duo now."

"We were beginning to doubt our dreams were going to come true, we blame them and committees for tearing apart our team. We were sick of hiding the fact that everything was fine and we don't want to win this war before we graduate. If we can't play it our way now and said way is bringing the girls home now and putting our team. The Ninjetti 6, back in one piece and our team of seven also back in one piece now finally."

"But enough is enough lf this." Rocky said and they nodded. "Honestly, no I'm not, until Ivan came into the picture everything was fine. We were adjusting to being rangers, but in 10 months things went from fine, to okay. As even though Kim was gone, we still had Kat and Aisha, but now we don't even have our 7, and now we just been..." he said, shaking as he looked at his old uniform then.

"Our team of 7 was standing up against the odds repeatedly leading into Vile, but you give us a boost, but not even that is enough. I hated her family ever since they arrived, but now not only to do they tear apart her team trio. Her and the guys, but then they do it with mine they tear apart my trio. My trio from our childhood and my girlfriend is in Kenya now." he said, feeling it growing in him.

Watching Tommy, she heard a slam, and turned in time to see Rocky slam his hand on the tube again. "Sure we get new powers, but what's the point, what's the point of continuing the fight when we don't have everyone of us here. And ladies, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but frankly I'm pissed right now. And no, it's survivor's guilt, they just wrecked our lives as power rangers now."

"And it all started when they let Ivan loose at the time, it's been close to 15 months, since Billy was cloned. And those 15 months were enough to leave the bond so tightened, we were happy at the time starting our lives as a new sextet. But then Rito arrives and we're tested repeatedly, before they steal her power coin and blackmail us into working for them, for three months now since."

"She had to take it easy and ration her powers, before Billy told us the last time he saw that and that scared the hell out of us, first Tommy and now her. She may have been strengthening her skills, but then we're told now. That Anderson attacked her in the locker room, following that is she is so overworked. That she collapses and ends up in the hospital next, at the time that month too."

"To protect her, we tell her she has to go to Miami, and then Vile arrives next, before we get our real zords back. As they try to turn Kat evil a second time and then they turn us into children and destroy our power coins. Before we have to go on this blasted quest to gather new powers and the source is the crystal. That we had to hide from Vile in the first place and then top it off now is this."

"The worst part of this is we lose you girls, we were happy as Ninjetti when we started out, 18 months as a team. I hate those guys, first Kim and then you, damn it, if they ever come back. And I'm going to barbecue them both and Goldar and Rito with them. But she loses her power coin, and is nearly killed, we get blackmailed to work for them and she collapses and ends up in the E.R.."

"Blame the world, I blame the duo for putting her in the hospital and to protect her, she has to leave and they take you away from us next. How much can you take, before you're ready to explode, damn it!" the trio snapped together, shaking in anger and pain as they looked at Kim's uniform as he was trying keep from collapsing. As he turned to Kim, and pulled her into a hug and she pressed her forehead to his then.

"I get it Rocky, I know you guys miss me, I know that, but with them out of the picture and we're close to finding out on whether we can change back. We can reverse 3/4's by turning back the clock on the rock, I am your Ninjetti pink. It's okay brother, it's okay, shh, it's going to be okay." she said and he buried his face into her shoulder as he hugged her tightly at as he said it finally to her at that.

"You girls are my entire life, but seriously how much can you take, they took everything away from me. When I found you, and I know I'm not the only one thinking that either." Rocky said as the tears ran down his face and she nodded. "Do Zack and Trini not understand the fear I suffered and the pain now too. The power coin was enough to scare the heck out of me, but you depended on me."

"All that time after you ended up in the hospital, that did it, I hated them, ever since, you're my world. They never suffered the fear of realization you were getting weaker by the minute, or the fact that they were blackmailed. And into to manning the shogun zords to keep you alive, and then three months. Of keeping your power levels at minimal are enough, before this gets worse now."

"Just why didn't they come back when we needed them, at least Jason kept in touch." he said and she nodded. "And that is going to be a nail in their coffin now, remember, by turning your grandparents into power rangers. And us into Ninjetti, I belong to you and Aisha now, so make sure we stay linked is by this. Run a test if we still can do it, let's try it without the power coins this time."

"Guys let's give it a shot." Kim said and they nodded to her. "It's morphin time, The Falcon!" "The Frog!" "The Crane!" "The Wolf!" "The Bear!" "The Ape!" They called out one after another and their old uniforms appeared on them and they smiled in delight. "Whoo yeah alright, still Ninjetti, and the link is open!" Rocky shouted in delighted relief and Zordon smiled in delight and the ro-test with her news to them.

"There it is, they never destroyed us, we can write up a permission slip with the duo and her family and Goldar out of the picture. I can come home and you get us both back now finally, after school and practice in my case. And her after her tutoring and training, so back to Ninjetti 7 again forever, but first. Now we got to get Jason and tell him soon." she said and the trio smiled at the idea and remark.

"Our old uniforms are not retired we can still morph back into them, a little weak. In your case maybe, but so what, we can bring you back, honey." Tommy said and she nodded and then smiled at that. "Of course, why didn't I think of that sooner, Billy, Zordon said he can't keep recharging us. But Jason did it, he did all four of us, Zordon, bring Jason here, we have to test something now."

"But you said you can't recharge him anymore after Zedd drained what was left of his powers, But Jason contradicted that remark after they tried to do the same thing to us, well if you channel all four years of powers together. Then that should bring me back to full power and we keep this up. In the recharging until I come home next year, Kat has this upgrade, I'll take the next one."

"I can go Ninjetti, but Billy, Aisha and I are not retired, so though the team is split with you guys in the field still. We're back together starting now, but you got a sextet in two ways again now boys. Reason is and here's my idea of changing things around until we got a new helper giving us a hand. But we split the shifts with the girls and Rocky and have Jason added to the team again."

"Jason told me this the other day, but he misses being a power ranger right now." she said and Zordon nodded to the news. "And he is not the only one, you do too as well, Kimberly, if you reported in after they destroyed the center?" he asked and Kim nodded to him. "Yeah I do and frankly, the more back up rangers you got and the chance we have of winning now." she said and he nodded to her.

"But Jason has to know this, he's the leader of the secondary squad now." she said and Zordon nodded and a red flash lit up the room as Jason appeared then and Tommy, Kim and Billy moved to him at that. "Jason, boy am I glad to see you." she said and he smiled as he hugged her tightly. "Missed you too baby sister, hey guys, Aisha, so what's going on exactly." he asked and they smiled at the question.

"Long story, but Jason, you remember when you used your powers to recharge us and the duo?" she asked and he nodded. "We're running a field test in how much power is needed to bring her back to full power again. Jase', this is Kat Hilliard and our newest ranger, Tanya Sloan." Tommy said and he turned to the girls and smiled as they saw a gentle demeanor in him and then smiled as they got it.

"Nice to meet you ladies, my name is Jason Lee Scott." he said and they nodded with a smile to him. "We just had the command center attacked for the fourth time in three years and the duo moved us down here now." Billy told him and he nodded. "Nice move, the room looks like a war room or NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain." he said and Zordon chuckled at the diagnosis then as he said it then.

"Hey Zordon, good to see you again, I missed you." he said and Zordon smiled. "You too my young Rex, how are things going in Geneva?" he asked and Jason sighed. "I feel completely out of place with the junior politicians, though that maybe because I'm a soldier. My place is here with the power ranger military this is where I belong now." he said and Zordon nodded in understanding then.

"I understand Jason and it may come time for you to reactivate, but Kimberly gave a fast contingency plan to me. And that would and should help, do you still wear your communicator." he asked and Jason pulled it out of his back pocket as he put his back on and in response his color went cherry red. "I never go anywhere without it, and the duo still wear their's." he said and Zordon nodded to him.

"Are you willing to go back to being the leader of the original team as Tommy is now leading the Zeo rangers. But your position is back up missions like what the trio did before you left." he said and Jason smiled in delight. "Yeah I would be glad to Zordon, I can return to duty, if Kim and Billy need me, I can do that." he said and they smiled in delight at that news and Zordon nodded as he said it to him then.

"Then it's time I returned these to the three of you and Aisha, this one is back in your hands." he said and as their dino ranger power coins appeared in their hands as the quartet felt a slight boost and they nodded smiling then. "Hang on to mine until I need it, or we try it now and we give her enough of power boost. And to last five months between charges." Adam said and he nodded in agreement to that gently.

"Better start dressing in our old colors and mix them with the new ones." Adam added and he nodded in agreement, before the tv flashed purple and then they heard her cat spirit say it. "Adam, Kat is close to reaching her level, Kat, I am your spirit animal, my form is a cat, my name is Kalina. So Kimberly's nickname for you is accurate, just call out and I will do the rest." she said and Kat nodded to that.

"Kat like us, Ninjetti then your animal, just relax and let it flow through you." Kim said and she closed her eyes as she reached deeply into herself, before she felt it. As her cat attached itself to her and they became one. "Ninjetti, the Cat!" she called out and there was a purple flash at that, as the sextet waited for it and then they saw her. As standing in front of them was a new ninja with a gold medallion on her chest then.

As she appeared in her new robes in a dark violet purple and the quintet smiled in delight. "Yeah alright, well there you go Kitty, the Purple Cat Ninjetti Ranger, welcome home, Sis." Kim said and she hugged her. "Thank you, well no longer in your shadow, but what's the side effect?" she asked and they heard a new voice. "You and Kim are completely equal, your powers as the purple ranger."

"And hers as the pink ranger are matched up completely, but you carried her powers like my human carried Tommy's. So you know every facet of her powers, if something happens only you can stop her. But hopefully it never comes to that." he said and she nodded as Tommy, Jason and Billy closed their eyes. "Who said that?" Tanya asked and Kim sighed as she recognized the voice as she said it then.

"Our brother's T-Rex, that's me and Billy, our childhood quintet and my adopted twin brother, which was where nickname Rex came from. But he's the original leader of the team and Rocky's predecessor, in truth. Jason's color is cherry red when he started out, but the duo are the best of friends. And they and Billy are my quartet, but we are the Dino rangers." Kim said and the duo nodded to her.

"Then that means Zack and Trini..." Adam asked and she nodded. "There is no black colored clothed duckling and no yellow clothed duckling on the tv show. We're dinosaurs and the duo are from the ice age, so as a result this brought us together. The guys and me are first, Jason is next in that if his upgrade, the one that matches this one, starts failing on him." she explained to the quintet at that.

"So either the Dino ranger quartet with you and Jason here or the Zeo, with you and me swapping turns, they got the best of both worlds with you active again." Kat said and she nodded as the duo smiled and they nodded to her. "Thanks for the heads up, Rex, so we're the female version of you and Tommy now, right, starting now?" she asked and they heard a gentle tone to her at that that question

"Yeah, Kim that is exactly what I'm saying, but when the time comes, it might be time to bring me home for good. But in the meantime, just tell my human, before you tell Darren and Bella next okay." he said and she nodded. "Tell us what?" Adam asked and she nodded and the sextet surrounded her. "Tommy would you say for us to concentrate, you as a ranger, me as a gymnast now and two."

"With you being a third degree black belt always in the competitions, to help your concentration and mine, and without anymore injuries here. To return to the days, when you came home to the team for your second duration. Just after you and I spent that much time together?" she asked and he nodded to her. "If it means keeping me focused and I see you every day, then yeah, it is, honey."

"But I see what you're saying, you went to my parents and mom asked this and they said for us to take a step back." he said and and she nodded. "Yeah they did, but back to the days during your second term as Dragon. When we were close to becoming a couple and leading into your color switch." she said and he nodded as he hugged her tightly at that as he answered her then smiling as he said it then.

"Yeah, that works better, with the duo gone for who knows how long it's safe for you to come home every day now. So we return to those days and I have you back if Billy is going on a intergalactic mission, you're with me. And we rebuild the original bond and make it stronger then ever, I agree with this. Go ahead and tell them, one step back until you come home." he said and she nodded to him.

"Look guys, before you say anything, I need to make this clear, but I went to your parents for advice and they said until I come home. And for good, to cool things down, but nothing is going to change for you, I promise. This is between me and him, but we got two options and the first means ending it. 2) is where I come home every day after practice and school, and here on weekends."

"Summer, holidays and spring and fall break, so we return to the days when we introduced each other to our parents, when still Dragon." she said and Tommy nodded as he thought it over and smiled at that. "The Coach made that suggestion as well huh?" he asked and she nodded. "Yeah, but here's a question for you, how can I have the time to be seeing anyone else, when I'm always with you guys."

"Any guys that are there at the training center are Patrick's age and finally, Coach has prohibited fraterizations with the boys team, or boys period?" she asked and Tanya nodded. "You don't and the reason is you're always with us, we see what you're saying and you're right, you don't have the time at all." she said and the trio nodded as Adam realized it then in her conversation with Billy earlier.

"That's what you were talking to Billy about when we realized there was only enough room for five. You told him first then told us, because all of us are with Tommy, Aisha's parents and Rex's parents are your godparents. Okay I get it, tell the ones with him and the adopted relatives first, we get it. And we understand, but now that the duo are out of the picture, you can come home."

"It's safe now and with our new powers, we can protect you anyway." he said and Rocky and Kat nodded. "Yeah we agree with him, if this means we get to see you every day after practice, then we're all for it. Mondo doesn't know what you are to him or us, so we take advantage of that starting now." Rocky said and Kat nodded in agreement that she got her best friend back this soon after Aisha left that day.

"So that was the meaning of what would have been a bombshell later, so who is this met someone else?" Jason asked and she explained that. "Guys you recall the foodfight at the parents day get together after Tommy returned to the team?" she asked and they both nodded. "Well the reason for that is your fathers know something that dad never wanted them to find out, as to why now."

"This is connected to Jenson and my ending up in the hospital when we were little, well dad had an affair with a woman named Mary Grayson. I ran into my half brother, his name is Carter Grayson, he's in Miami. And he's Patrick's best friend and room mate." she said and they nodded in shock to the news. "Did you and he get a blood test done to confirm that, Kim?" Billy asked and she nodded to him.

"Yeah and it came back positive, I called mom, before Vile turned back the clock, and she confirmed our theory. He had an affair with Mary, and a one night stand resulted in Carter, the fight. It was over child support so pay child support or she was divorcing him." she said and they nodded to her gently. "So that is everything we need to know: the met someone else is a family member."

"Your brother is three years older then we and too old for you, you guys, you and Tommy, were friends before you became a couple and the brother. It was time to bring me home, as only I can help him recover here. Especially if he gets hit a second time, with you not here, so that letter everything but your training. Everything is a lie, okay got it." Jason said and Aisha nodded as the quintet nodded.

"Indeed, it was time for that to come out now, and we just prevented what would have fractured this team. But now it is time to test the limit of your powers, Adam, Aisha, combine with the boys for the first step to that test. With the amount tested, then we see how much is needed to last her. Long enough until this letter does it's job, or at least till it is time to tell your parents."

"Though if we add your parents thats enough recharge until you come home and return to duty for good." Zordon said and they nodded as the team got started then. "We call upon the powers of all those combined." "Dragonzord" "Triceratops" "Mastadon" "Sabretooth Tiger" "Tyrannosaurus" Jason said and he looked at the duo then, as her coin started glowing a light pink and he smiled at that response.

"Alright Thunderzord upgrade" he said and they both nodded. "Again." Billy said and they nodded. "She's is at 50% strength Billy, you give the next three and she's up to 150%, that will last three months, and four if we add your parents. In all powers again, keep going." Alpha said and they nodded as they exchanged smiles as Tommy did it this time as he repeated the words, this time with a change in the name.

"We call upon the powers of all those combined, White Tiger" "Lion Thunderzord " "Unicorn Thunderzord" "Griffin Thunderzord" "Red Dragon Thunderzord" Jason said and the eight went to their's then. "Alpha what's the level at now that we've done two of four?" he asked and he quickly answered him. "Let me check her color meter first, Tommy, Jason." he said and they nodded to him.

Checking the color, they saw it shifting off light pink to her tinge then and they smiled. "That second one has her at her normal tinge of right after I switched colors, so the next jolt should bring her to hot pink, again." Tommy said and Alpha nodded. "She's at 75% percent strength, your ninja powers and the Zeo will finish the job." he said and the eight nodded as they kept going then as they did it at that.

"Tanya, your animal is a lioness, like Shal thought, her name is Elena, so with you carrying the heart of Ninjetti, concentrate as hard as you can and call it out after I do." Rex told her and she nodded. "Alright the eight of us this time." Adaam said and she nodded. "Yeah, just give me a minute." she said as she closed down and started searching, before she felt it then as her lion attached herself to her.

"We call upon the powers of all those combined. The Falcon" "The Frog" "The Wolf" The Bear" "The Ape" "The Cat" "The Tyrannosaurus" "The Lioness" They shouted out one after another as the jets entered her power coin turning it hot pink as 2 more and then a 3rd entered it in orange, silver and black and they nodded. "Zack, Trini and whoever our youngest is." Rocky said in relief that they were helping then.

"Alright time for the last one, just double it with the Zeo powers, they're the strongest of the four, let's do it." Adam said and they nodded as Kat went first this time. "Zeo Ranger I, Pink" "Zeo Ranger II, Yellow" "Zeo Ranger III, Blue" "Zeo Ranger IV, Green" "Zeo Ranger V, Red" Tommy shouted and their crystals all lit up as the power coin started glowing from a hot pink to a deep reddish pink then.

Before Alpha quickly called out at that, before Zordon did it for him. "Rangers, enough, you got her plenty, but we just came to the diagnosis in recharging her. The way is this: if you and your parents give her 75% charge. I can give her the last 25% charge and she has enough to last 4 month as we do this twice more. Until she returns home now." he said and they nodded in delight at that remark in relief.

"Yeah alright, we're back, we did it now!" Rocky shouted as they went into a group hug then. "Go ahead Kim, give it a shot." Aisha said and she nodded. "It's morphin time!" she shouted as she called it out. "Ninjetti the Crane!" she shouted and in response her uniform appeared on her and they smiled in delight at that. And as they saw her uniform glowing in happiness then and they chuckled at that response.

"Billy, Jason, Kimberly, Aisha, I bestow to you the shark cycles once again, though a little weak, you can still fight the troops. But remember you are a team and still need each other, go now and may the power protect you all." he said and they nodded. "Aw man it's good to be back in a team again, only now, starting now, we are the Ninjetti 9." Tommy said and they nodded and smiled then.

"Back to being partners man?" Jason said and Tommy nodded. "Yeah back to being partners, we got each other's backs, always, brothers and partners. Girls, Jason is my best friend and equal in everything, this was why Kim suggested. In bringing him back in, he's got the skill to match me move for move. But the gold armor is the symbol of the equally as powerful ranger and total equal."

"To the red, this was me when we started out." he said as they saw a green uniform with gold armor on it and they nodded. As they saw a red uniform that was three shades darker to Rocky's and they nodded as they got it. "This was why you said not to destroy Dragon in his zord form?" Aisha asked and he nodded as that opened the door for them finally as Jason switched subjects as he looked between them.

"Hey guys, let's do it." Jason said and realizing what he meant they smiled and nodded as he held his hand out and Tanya looked at them and they nodded and they clapped their's on top of his. "Power Rangers!" they shouted out together and their parents smiled. "I like that version better, then what is going on lately right now." Andrea said smiling and the sextet nodded in agreement to her thoughts then.

"Us too, so tell me, why didn't you come back when we needed you exactly right now, I told you, through Billy, to get back over here after she had her power coin stolen. Did you break direct orders on purpose?" Tommy asked and they swallowed hard at that. "They did what, and your rank is your a colonel, if that what the gold armor on the uniforms means now?" Mei said slowly and they paled at her remark and the trio nodded.

"I was held up at trying to get a ticket for the next flight back in from Geneva, I take it Aunt Carrie, like me, was laid up, as every seat on the next plane back to L.A. was full?" Jason asked and the trio nodded to confirm that. "That is the sense of being a good leader, in keeping your team mate company as they recovered. But again why didn't you return, is all you can think about is the alpha?" James asked and they paled at that.

Looking at her then as she wiped the tears of her face as she pulled Billy into hug and he tightened his arms around her as she buried her head into his neck. As she hung on, shaking in agony then at how close she came to losing her twin then. "Do you get it now damn it you, it was too damn close that day, I felt the blast nearly kill him. I felt it when the guys and Kat were nearly killed." she said as her eyes narrowed in fury at the duo.

"You gave it up damn it, three times in three years Tommy and I had the life scared out of us because we were injured or worse. But this last one did it for me, not just him or Billy, but all of them at once, Aisha was in Kenya, I thought my friends were killed. And by the duo and her family damn it you don't get it, you never did, and how could you. How could you, you're not linked to me on that level, they are, the sextet are."

"The Sextet and Tanya, damn it you two, do you not get it right now, our souls are linked together, that image in the episode says it all. One of you is bad enough, two of you is pushing it, but all of you, I lose you all and I will never recover. I am like Kristen on the dream warriors now, our souls are linked together, our emotions and souls. They are linked, they knew I felt the power blast, the coach had me in the locker room resting."

"You don't get it damn, you never did, I'm connected to the sextet on more levels then anyone is connected to someone. It wasn't just my soulmate, I nearly lose the guys and Kat with them that day after they destroyed the command center. So where the hell were you when we needed you, where exactly damn it." she said shaking in fury and grief at how close she came to losing her entire new team and her new best friend with them.

"Aunt Erica, Uncle Ron tell them the truth, in who you are." she said and they crossed their arms. "Does the name Erica Karen Goldberg-Sloan mean anything to you guys?" she asked and the duo paled as Mei and Peter looked at her in shock. "Erica, oh my god it's been 20 years, it's good to see you again!" Peter said in shocked delight as Mei smiled in relief that their new member was an old high school and college friend.

"I didn't realize that Kim walked right into me or I bumped into Carrie, as we just got back two months ago. Carrie told me she and Pierre got transferred to Paris and Janet to Rome and Brandon with her for the next year. So with the changes in team dynamics, Carrie asked Mellie, Andy and me to be the ones in charge of looking after baby omega. Until they came home and Tommy offered a single way to add human protection."

"But 18 months too soon, that's fine, but they're engaged and getting married this summer, so she's living with the Olivers until Carrie and Janet come home. And Aisha is living with me as well until the girls come home next spring break now. But we sign these permission slips and the new regime starts on Monday starting now." Erica said and they both nodded as Erica left her hand on Kim's shoulder as she let the duo have it.

"You are out of town, they, to protect me, suggested I take the advanced training and go to Miami, but then this happens, and I'm not here to protect them anymore. If it's not death, it's him getting turned again, and how much power is needed to change him back. My new team is my family, but in all honesty it was never Jason and Tanya, I can't lose them or I'll never survive the heartache." she said, slumping on the floor as she finished.

"It's the sextet, we're a group of seven now, I had no clue why Aisha was not answering the call, before I heard the quintet. And so loudly and with it, the explosion, I thought they'd been murdered by the duo this time. When no one contacted me, I was ready to come home and check to make sure, but I could split my time: half ranger, half not. As they gained these powers earlier this year." she said and that did it for the sextet then.

As Adam pulled her into a hug and she buried her head into his neck. "Guys reposition now." James snapped and the trio put themselves next to him and Andrea moved next to Jason and Erica got the idea as she sat next to Preston. "What is this?" Peter asked and Nathan explained it. "The ranks of the rangers got redefined Peter, you and Mei are his part of the team with the girls, Carrie and I are Jim's." he said as Jake gave a nod firmly.

"When we met the trio the team was split into two pieces, we could either be Ninjas or Dinos, till Ivan got let loose and that did it. The first of the nine of us and now possibly 12, are us and Carrie and Janet, we're the Ninjetti 6. But we are the first of the team with these powers, but these powers there is a downside to them. As you just saw in that image as she felt everything in the power blast." James said and Peter nodded to him.

"Well that answers the question, the ones to answer the question are all new arrivals but again right now. Because it's because of a single factor and one that they deliberately weren't here for. And when they were when they were just barely out of their kindergarten cub phase. And..., what were we here for that they weren't, and it was nine months ago, you three?!" Jake said quickly as Nathan crossed his arms then at that.

"I may not have been here for that, any of it, but she and Billy told me everything, so in a way I was here for it, all of it, everything. From the loss of your power coin, to your retirement as a ranger, I was here for it, for all of it." Jason said, as he looked at the ring he'd given her when they were twelve. "Yeah, you were, I never took this off, since you left Jason." she said and the duo paled at that as they looked at her ring then quickly.

"The engagement ring on one hand and the promise ring on the other, but that promise ring was based on friendship, of being twins, brothers and sisters. She never took it off, but get a better look on the colors on it." Jason said and she and Tanya looking at the coloring and saw two cherry red stones. And between the red stones stood a single pink, near violet one and they nodded in shock as they looked at his cherry red t-shirt at that.

"Jason gave that to you?!" Kat said in shock and they nodded. "That was a promise ring, that no matter what happened as we got older, we would stay friends forever. I kept that promise, but this was before our animals came out when we became rangers. And Rex bonded to Shal on that scale, I kept my promise, in the same way. All of you were here for her, I was as well, in spirit from start to finish." he said and she and Tanya nodded.

"So you 3: red, pink and blue were raised together from birth, before Zack and Trini came into the picture, but to you and Billy. You didn't mind, so long as she was happy that's all you cared about, after the green candle escapade. And in where they nearly lost their's in the same way he did, you recharged their power coins. Discovering the secret, we can recharge her ourselves and you wish you had." Kat said and he nodded to her.

"That's why I'm pissed, I wasn't here to recharge her for a few more months, before she retired, to prevent her collapse, if we all channeled our powers together. We can give her enough power to last seven months if she rations it between charges. I left, when I should have stayed and kept her company while you guys got called in. As Curt, Derek, Jared and Aaron gave me a hand in protecting her." he said and they nodded to him.

As Kim pulled him into a hug and he closed his eyes tightly. "Brother, best friend, you're never going to lose me, not that fast, but it wasn't you, it never was you. You kept your promises, you were there for me in spirit, that's why I'm so pissed you were here for me. In fact they weren't here, in spirit or for real, they abandoned me, they abandoned me. When I needed them most." she said as the tears came into her eyes and he nodded.

"We were here for the last one, but we weren't for..." Trini started to say and her eyes widened as Rocky, Billy, Adam and Aisha crossed their arms at that remark. "Don't deny it you two, you just want to stay focused on the fact that I did what she did. To rid yourselves of the guilt that your relationship and anger, broken heart. That is your own damn fault right now Zack, and you are scorning me for your own damn decisions."

"Screw you, keep it up and you lose me anyway." she snapped at him and Peter and Mei crossed their arms at that news then. "That's what this is, the duo are pissed at themselves and are taking it out on you for his own damn decisions right now. Scorning you and Tommy as you did what he chose not to do and he's taking it out on you. And she is following his lead right now?!" Erica said in disgusted shock and they nodded.

"Yeah mom it is, and the first to know was us five and you with us, as Jason is about to return to duty and Uncle Preston with him to the adult team. But the six of us and Aisha got the news first and not needing to think twice we took both sides immediately. Double checking the letter, we saw the truth, it was a fake and she and I, our bonds. Us girls created a quartet, we chose her immediately." Tanya said and Erica nodded in relief.

As Kim crouched in front of Erica and Ron then, she said the words at that. "Tanya got the chance at meeting me on Monday and I told her everything and I mean everything. And from the powers to my bonds with the guys and Kat, she and Kat supported me too. And in the instant I told them what the heck was the reason we had to take a step back. My best female friends are not the original, but the three new arrivals in the girls."

"Giving me the strength the girls recharged me today, but their love and friendship was what kept me strong. I never was more thankful I met your daughter then I am now, she is my best friend, like Kat and Aisha are. And I'm glad I got the chance to meet you as well, Aunt Erica, Uncle Ron, part of the family, part of the whole. The team is where we belong and she answered my request to come home at the time this week."

"She made it clear, Billy, Jason and I got the act of a good first impression, but the duo blew their's as a result she likes me and got overly protective since. To her, they hurt me and she's going Nala and beating the crap out of Simba, so to speak." she said and they nodded as they hid a chuckle at the reference at that. "The Lion King gone power ranger style, nice wording, baby girl." Peter said with a bemused smile at that remark

"But to Kim, she was pissed that in her own time of need, a girl version to the Green candle, they abandoned her." Jason said to the quartet and Billy nodded. "Exactly, that's why she's so ticked at you, right now you two, you didn't come back while we were busy getting her power coin back. You weren't here to talk her out of quitting her gymnastics, nor were you here to decide to keep her company in Miami and with that right now."

"Is the fact you weren't taking her phone calls when she decided to put things on hold with Tommy, setting their relationship on hold till she came home. I don't give a damn if you're jealous, she told us first before she told you, because I chose without thinking twice about it, I chose both sides as did the quintet, and Jason. But where were you in all of this, you ignore us, you don't take our phone calls and you don't write every week."

"We have every reason to be pissed at you two right now, you weren't here when Zedd took her power coin, when she ended up in the hospital. When she needed someone to talk her out of giving it up, when she needed someone to help her stay strong. Even giving her the reassurance that nothing could ever change between us and her. Kat, Adam, Rocky, Jason, Tanya, Aisha and I said the same thing, we're never letting her go."

"We discussed this already and we realized we could turn back the clock and fix our bonds, her's with him and us with each other. But their relationship, what they do in their relationship is no business of ours, not our love life, we stay out of it. But in their words, there's more to life when we listen to our hearts and we were her strength. And by giving her the strength to start fighting back and take this leap, this jump."

"But for the first time in 15 years she's standing alone and the world is beyond scary to her, because she always had us. Her friends at her back, she's carrying this weight of home sickness around with her and it's not going away. Because she's returning to the memories of us when we became a team and is wondering, now. In what made you two change, for close to three years we tried and we had to draw the line now."

"And still that question keeps coming back up, if we never let you leave, would you be the people we knew when we were Cubs." Billy said and the duo swallowed as they saw the tears of anger in her eyes as he went on. "And then to top it right now, you two is the fact that I saw something in her latest concentration lapse. But she was in her locker room and I knew she was homesick, as to how, and why exactly right now as well."

"It's because she was crying and looking at her photos as her bracelet shifted to morse code and that was it." he said, holding up the photos of them in both versions, pictures of them with Curtis, and then the scrapbook of photos with their new friends added to the group. The ones of her, Aisha and Kat, the seven of them, as Trini went through each photograph and felt the knife being dug deeper into her heart as he went further.
