A/N: hey everyone! Thanks for the reviews! I don't know about that little death threat I received, but hopefully this will get me off the hook. I'm sorry if my tease was a little misleading...NO the Time Force Rangers aren't coming back to help...but some of their powers are...

"Great," Xander said to himself as he walked along what seemed like the endless paths of the Animarium. He stopped and looked around once more. He was getting VERY frustrated... both at Evie and himself.

He knew she was her own person and liked to go off on her own little adventures, but he couldn't help but worry about her. After all that had happened today he wasn't about to loose her too.

"Evelina!" he cried as he turned back. "Evelina Jennifer Meyers! If you're out there say something!" he yelled.

"Careful what you wish for."

Xander turned around and was face to face with Evie. Surprisingly, there was a grin on her face.

"Where were you?" he asked as he reached for her. Evie pulled away and began walking the path back to the temple.

"What? Are you my keeper now?" she turned to him. "First you tell me that I can't go somewhere, now you're asking me where I was when YOU'RE the reason I left in the first place? Let me tell you something Xander Eric Collins, if you think that for one minute that you can-"

Evie was cut off as Xander grabbed her tightly to him and crushed her lips into his. Evie began to protest, but slowly sank into his embrace.

After a moment or two, Xander broke it and hugged her to him. "Evie, I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier. If something ever happened to you, I don't know what I would do with myself. After what happened today and everything..."

Evie just clung tighter to him. "I know," she whispered. "Just hold me, okay?"

Xander smiled and kissed her forehead as he held her. Evie began laughing a little and Xander pulled away to look at her.

"What?" he asked.

Evie looked him up and down. "I didn't know you were THAT happy to see me," she said seductively. Xander raised an eyebrow and then realized what was going on.

He pulled away and reached into his pocket.

"Xan!" Evie cried.

"Geeze Evie... you're sick," he said as he pulled out his father's discarded crono morpher. Evie's face went a deep red and she bit her lip.

Xander just laughed and gently ran a hand down her face. They both then turned their attention to the device he held in his hands. A nostalgic look came to their faces.

Growing up they had always seen Wes, Jen, and Eric wearing them... protecting Silver Hills when necessary. Xander unconsciously placed it on his left wrist and smiled at Evie. It was then that she remembered the gift she had just been given by the Yellow Eagle.

But before either one of them could say anything though...

"DNA CONFIRRMED."

Both of them stood there in shock for a few moments.

"T-this is impossible," Xander muttered. Evie carefully reached into her pocket and pulled out her gem.

"Not that impossible."

With that, they took off running back to the temple.

At the temple, Lindy and Leo had returned, as well as Ethan, Kyle, Andy, Nicky, Sam, Jack, and Brady. When they arrived, the nine of them immediately fell into defensive stances when they saw the unfamiliar figure with the Princess.

Shayla stood in front of Merrick and put her hands up. "He's a friend," she said turning to him. "A very old friend... Leo, Melinda, you've met him once before."

Merrick stared at disbelief at the two people in front of him. The last time he had seen them was when they were merely infants.

Just as Merrick was about to approach them Evie and Xander came bursting into the group.

"And I believe you know Evelina and Xander as well," Shayla said to Merrick. Again Merrick was speechless. To see these young people in front of him made him want a family of his own all the more...

"It's true... I am Merrick Battalion. I fought alongside your parents," he said to the four.

"Whoa. Time out," Brady said as he stepped through. "You're Merrick?"

Merrick nodded and turned to him.

"Yes. And you are?" he asked grinning. Brady stood right up to him.

"Private Brady Wesley Meyers of the Silver Guardians," he said proudly. At that comment his sisters and cousins all groaned and sat down.

"Freakishly Uncle Eric," Andy commented as she too sat down.

"Yeah Brady. You sound just like him," Ethan said as he jabbed him in the ribs. Merrick and Shayla just smiled and sat as well.

"Ah yes... the wiseass of the Meyers children," Merrick said, which caused everyone to laugh.

After the laughter had died down a little Merrick and Shayla got serious. She looked around at the teens and could tell who had received the gems of the Wild Zords. She held a bundle in her hands and unraveled it.

"I know that six of you have been chosen by the Wild Zords, and they chose you because they know that you will do everything you can to protect the earth as well as each other." She took the jackets and growl phones and handed them to their new owners.

'Noble Tiger,' Lindy read on the jacket that had been worn by Alyssa.

'Surging Shark,' Ethan said in his head.

'Iron Bison,' Jack read on the patch.

'Howling Wolf,' Sam said in her head as she smiled at Merrick. Merrick bowed his head in respect to her and smiled.

Evie took her mother's yellow vest. 'Soaring Eagle.'

And finally she came to Leo. 'Blazing Lion,' he read proudly.

Shayla smiled. "The powers given to you all today will hopefully be enough to destroy Master Org... when the others return from the academy, we should know more."

"Princess, we have another power source too," Xander said as he raised his wrist.

Merrick grabbed Xander's wrist gently. "How?"

"My DNA matches my dad's and unlocked it," he said.

All eyes turned to Brady then.

"Don't you have your dad's morpher too?" Sam asked. Brady immediately reached into his pocket and removed it.

"You think it'll work?" he asked. "Pop's got a voice lock on it."

"But Brady, you sound JUST like pop, especially when you yell," Evie piped up. Brady grinned and strapped it to his wrist.

"We'll see soon enough," Brady said.

There was a bit of a silence then before Xander remembered something.

"I... I still have my mom's morpher too... if mine's unlocked, then that means this one is too," he said.

"All we need to do is find someone to use it," Andy said looking from her brother to Nicky... they were the only ones present without a morpher of some sort.

"Well, I don't know about you guys, but pink is so not my color," Kyle said. At that everyone laughed a little.

"Then it's Nicky or Andy," Ethan said. Again there was silence.

Finally Andy stood, took the morpher from Xander and handed it to Nicky.

"It's yours," she said. Nicky turned it away.

"I... I can't take it. They all know you better and you're WAY better at this whole saving the world thing..." Nicky stammered.

"No Nick... I WANT you to have it," Andy said as she placed it in her hands.

"But... what if you need it. If anything happened to you-"

"Kyle and I can use our Ninja Powers if we need to," she protested. "Plus I need you to watch out for my cousin," she said in a hushed tone. Nicky glanced over at Brady who was smiling at her.

Slowly, Nicky looked up to everyone. "Are you all sure about this?"

Everyone nodded in unison and she accepted.

"Thank you," she said as she hugged Andy. She looked over to Xander. "Thank you for trusting me with this. I won't let you down."

Xander nodded his head to her and smiled.

"Master Org's in for a big surprise next time he decides to show himself," Merrick said.

"You're not kidding."

Everyone turned and saw Owen, Jake, Charlie, Kanoi, Sky, and Cody all standing in a row sporting new accessories as well.

"How the hell did THAT happen?" Jack asked his brother.

Once that question was out, the entire Animarium seemed to erupt in conversation. Merrick and Shayla stepped aside and knew that this would work... it just had to...

A/N: Okay so now the Wild Force, Time Force, and Ninja Storm rangers are back! (Just a newer generation) Will the combined forces be enough? What about all the couples? Are the parents alright? Find out next time!!!
