Since it was a great feeling to get the reviews I finished this story, I have started more it will just take time.
"Hope comes at a high price as does victory, nothing can be won without sacrifice, to be a Ranger you must give something of your self up. It's just something you have to learn to deal with. Forever we will deal with it to no end. Things happened and we've had to change our ways. We all had our own paths to tread and things to do. Nothing came easy to us. A lot was lost and a lot was gain, but each day was a struggle mostly not to say I'm done and walk away. I don't know who I'd be if I hadn't been a Power Ranger. I'm not sure if I'd have such wonderful friends other wise nor able to endure what I have. We all have given each other the strength we've need more than anything. Done things together and for each other at prices we cannot begin to list. That is our way, that is the essence of being a Power Ranger it is to lose so much, but gain so much more. We guard all that is good against all that is evil. You take on a lot of responsibility by being a Ranger, just remember you don't have to shoulder the blame alone." Chris said, and sat back eyes down cast into her drink, thinking. Everyone else looked at each other or off into space thinking.
"Dude, that was some trip." Dustin Brooks said.
"Yeah it defiantly was." Kimberly said.
"So it's been?" Ethan questioned.
"GAAWW... over ten years, we've all changed in ways we couldn't have imagined back then, nor see coming." Jason stated as he lean forward on his knees.
"ACK! You make me feel old" Kim said.
"OH so the fact that there are people with two and three year olds, not to mention at least one or two pregnant doesn't?" Chris retorted.
"No, cause you have to chase the little ones around." Kim said, "Gotta be young for that."
"There's logic I hadn't considered." Chris replied. There were giggles around the room.
"Ten years, there have been Rangers on Earth for ten years." Ethan said sitting up, "That is a big crazy thing if you think about it."
"Total" Trent said as he shook his head and looked over at the quite yellow ranger.
"Ten years and we're still fighting." Kira comment with down cast eyes.
"Yes, and they'll be fight in a thousand years." Jen said from were she was seated beside Wesley.
"They were fighting over ten thousand years ago as well. The fight of good verse evil has always existed and will always existed, there is no futility in it." Tommy said, speaking more to the youngest rangers than to any one else.
"There is no Futility in fighting evil, because once a force is defeated people can go to bed without worry and without fear. They know that some extraordinary force of evil won't attack them in there sleep." Cole said becoming vocal for the first time in a while.
"But still..." Kira said.
"There unfortunately has to be a balance between one or the other, it suxs but there has to be one. Remember this works both ways. For every good evil defeats another force takes it place. Good vs Evil is just the way there is no true reason as to why. It's like why is an orange is orange. Its the way our eyes perceive it sure. That's the way the neurons work okay. But why? We may never know." Chris said looking at the young girl. "We just have to suck it up and say 'damn it, its either me or no body' that is our way. Be proud Kira, be proud of yourself and in what you've done. Don't worry too much about the Rest, there isn't much any of us can do about it."
"I for one am proud of who I am and what I've been." Rocky said, "Allow me introduce myself though you all know who I am. Rocky DeSantos: I took over for Jason as the Red Morphin Ranger, then later became the Blue Zeo Ranger number 3. I now hold the Red Turbo Powers, Red Lightning."

"Christal Zitana Steele of Earth Purple Morphin Ranger, Guardian of Earth till my last breath."
"I think that goes for everyone." Chad said.
"I know it does, that is the way we are." Chris said looking around at everyone.
"So who besides Rocky, Jason, Tommy, and Tj are hungry?" Kimberly asked.
"Why besides those guys?" Kelsey asked.
"They're always hungry" Trini responded prompting laughter.
"It's true." Kat said. Chris sat back and watched everyone talk about getting a meal together to prevent chaos, and the first time in a LONG time she was content and happy. She leaned forward to join their discussion. For her it was time to stop reliving old pains and rejoin life in a new way, for today she would start to live again. After all it was the first day of the rest of her life.
