Satan you know where I lie
Gently I go into that good night
All our lives get complicated
Search for pleasures over rated
Never armed our souls
For what the future would hold
We were innocent
We were innocent
Angels lend me your might
Forfeit all my lives to get one just right
All those colors long since faded
And all our smiles are confiscated
Never were we told we'd be bought and sold
We were innocent
This prayer is for me tonight

"SPD Freeze!" boomed a voice from the other side of the room, standing near a warp hole, two Rangers stood, lazers aimed at Tommy. The one who had spoke was the Red Ranger with the number one on his chest and the one who had fired the lazer had been the Yellow Ranger with the number four.
"Who are you?" Ethan demanded, morpher awakening and set to battle.
"I am Jack Landers, SPD Red, we are from the year 2020 and we cannot let you harm that child," the Red Ranger said, powering down to reveal himself, as did the yellow Ranger. "This is Z Delargo," he added.
"Why can't we? Its going to kill her!" Hayley insisted, Z shook her head frantically.
"No, we need this child to survive, its been foretold that the child who was born of the Power would be our only hope. We have to take her to our Command Center now before she gets too far along," Z said, and with a flash, two more Z's stood at her side.
"Woah! You can duplicate yourself," Billy stated, his scifi gene kicking in at the sight of her power.
"Yeah she can but this isn't the time to go into our genetics, we have to get Kira to come with us now," Jack said, as he and the Z's began to surround Kira.
"She's not going alone," Tommy growled, at them, the fury in his voice so strong it frightened just about everyone in the room.
"Ok, but we have to go now," Z said, noting that the head was beginning to crown.
"What are you going to do?" Jason asked, the second black Red Ranger in Ranger history looked to him.
"We're going to contact our Commander and he'll teleport us back," Jack said, Kim spoke up.
"When are you going to bring them back?" she asked, Z looked at them as the teleportation began. "It might only be him," came her soft answer, and then they were gone.
Tommy blinked hard in the bright lights surrounded him and he was standing in a medical room. A large, extremely tall blue alien dog was staring down at him, with determination and respect in his eyes.
"I figured you would accompany my Rangers, Dr. Oliver, welcome to the Space Patrol Delta's Command Center," the dog began, Tommy stared at him, wondering how he could possibly be known by the alien. "You have been in the Ranger's history for a long time and I'm honored by your presence, I will allow you to stay at Kira's side and when everything is done, you may return home. I am Commander Anubus Cruger," he added as an after thought.
"Apparently you already know who I am," Tommy stated, instantly looking to Kira who cried out in pain and then reached for his hand. "I'm here, I'm here," he said to her and took her hand in his.
"Tommy," she moaned through clenched teeth, she squeezed her eyes shut and let out another squeal of pain.
"What's going to happen to her? The child?" Tommy asked, Cruger looked to him, his eyes grave.
"The child will develop and grow until he reaches 19 which will take 4 days and then will help us fight in a major battle and we will win," he stated.
"What about Kira?" Tommy demanded and Kira squeezed his hand harder and muffled her scream.
"Its time," Kat called, as she began to coach Kira, "Push Kira," she said calmly, Tommy had to do a double take at her, realizing she had cat ears growing out of the top of her head.
"That is Kat Manx, a key elemet to our team, she helped create the SPD equipment and technology, everything we have is because of her," then Tommy noticed that beside Jack and Z, three more Rangers had entered the medical bay. A blonde, and two brunette males, one immediately changed from a happy small grin to a look of absolute fear. The other male remained stoic while the girl looked grossed out. "Sydney Drew, Sky Tate and Bridge Carson. What is it Bridge?" Cruger asked as he noticed Bridge's facial expressions were becoming more and more horror filled.
"So much evil, there is so much evil in this room, but its not exactly evil. It's a void, an essence, nothingness and everything; it's the most amazing thing…" he murmured as Kira let out another scream.
"One more push," Kat coached, then Kira's petra scream filled the room, the yellow energy ripping through the air. Then it was abruptly cut off by a sob as her child was born. "It's a boy," Kat announced, whisking the child away to clean it. There were no cries from the newborn, though it was in perfect health it never uttered a cry. Kira lay moaning on the table, bloody and barely breathing.
"Kira, are you ok?" Tommy asked, stroking her cheek, Kira's eyes slow met his and then they closed and the monitors around her began to sound. There was a curse from Kat as she hurried back, she placed the child onto Kira's chest and weakly Kira wrapped her arms around her son.
"Adrian, the dark one," in a weak and whispery voice as Kira closed her eyes again. This time Tommy was pushed away, the child being placed in his arms.
Tommy looked down at the child staring into his big brown eyes; Adrian seemed to be studying him.
"The dark one, that is what your mother called you, so that is what you shall be, I hope you are worth what pain you've caused her," he whispered, feeling horrible as soon as the words left his lips.
Conner and Ethan's attention were drawn from the empty room to their morphers, which were sounding their alarms.
"What is it Hayley?" Conner asked, still confused about what was happening.
"The white Ranger is back…though he seems wounded and confused as is," she said, the two looked to the three original rangers then rushed from the house to meet the evil who had caused so much harm.
Trent stumbled out of the portal, his head spinning. Mesogog's words were ringing in his ears.
"You let this happen, I don't know why I bother keeping you around," the dinosaur mutant hissed.
"What are you moaning about now?" Trent snapped, annoyed with his supposed Lord.
"You let the girl get out, if you had stayed at your post she wouldn't have gotten out. Now she is completely gone, I've had Elsa and Zeltrax searching the entire state for her, she is gone and so is our weapon. You will now suffer for your insolence," Mesgog stated and lifted his hand and the gem atop of his head began to glow, a lazer of light went from his mind into Trent's, beginning to destroy his mind, piece by piece.
"No! Dad! Please! Stop!" Trent howled in agony, "Dad! You're killing me!" At those words Anton broke loose of Mesogog's hold. The lizard stumbled, his lazer slammed into the Dino Gem, deactivating it, and reactivating it as good instead of evil. Trent watched through pained eyes as Anton morphed back into his human form.
"Trent!" Anton gasped and immediately began to free his son.
"Dad, I feel so weird! What happened?" he asked, Anton furiously began to free Trent.
"Mesogog's power counteracted your evil powers so you're free. Go, help the others, find Kira and protect her, protect your child," Anton instructed as Trent scrambled off the table and looked to his father.
"Are you going to be ok?" Trent asked, as his father groaned and clutched his stomach.
"Trent, I can't fight him, go, get out NOW!" Anton screamed.
"I'll protect your secret dad, and I'll help you defeat him," Trent swore.
"GO!" Anton bellowed and Trent ran towards a portal that he had opened, with one last glance, he saw his father scream in agony.
Conner and Ethan approached the white Ranger, as his suit shattered, revealing Trent.
"YOU!" Conner yelled, and grabbed Trent's throat, as Ethan slammed his fist into Trent's stomach.
"How could you! You BASTARD! You will burn in hell for this!" Ethan yelled and slammed his knuckles into Trent's face.
"Guys! Stop! Please, I'm back! I'm back!" Trent moaned out, his face purpling slightly.
"It doesn't matter, you hurt Kira in a way no man should ever hurt a woman. You will pay for what you did to her with your own blood," Ethan hissed and raised his fist again.
In the Command Center Tommy was dragged from the sick bay to the break room, Cruger took Adrian and the Rangers watched as Tommy slumped to the couch, tears pouring down his face.
"What's the matter Dr. Oliver?" Syd asked, as she dropped to his side.
"I can't loose Kira," he whispered, burying his face in his hands.
"You won't," Z stated, though her voice held no emotion.
"I saw her vitals stop, she told me that she will die after she has the child," Tommy said, the Rangers exchanged looks.
"Listen, we have healers here and a high trained medical staff, they will not allow that to happen," Bridge told him, Tommy's tears stopped but that didn't bring comfort.
"You're in love with her aren't you?" Jack asked, Tommy glanced at the Red Ranger, but didn't reply. "I saw the devotion in your eyes, though she's still your student and younger than you, it doesn't matter to you does it? You fell in love with her and you don't want her to die because you still want to have a future with her," Jack observed, Tommy sighed and nodded. "I knew it," Jack stated to Z who was sitting at his side. She nodded and beamed up at him.
"You're good," she said, Jack smiled and gave her a quick kiss, "And you know it," she laughed. Tommy let a brief smile touch his lips.
"Dr. Oliver, may I have a word with you?" came a voice from the door; Kat was standing in the doorway, Adrian in her arms.
"Yes Dr. Manx?" he asked as he left the room, the two began to walk back down towards to sickbay.
"We were able to stabilize Kira, finally, we did lose her for some time, but she'll be alright but the problem maybe this little one. He is growing rapidly, he's still drinking Kira's milk but he's beginning to want more, and its not milk," Kat told him.
"Then what does he want?" Tommy asked, afraid to know the answer as they entered the hospital wing where Kira was lying half conscious on the bed.
"Blood," Kat told him and attempted to sooth the fussing infant. "Her parents blood, she won't tell me who the father is and she cannot be the only who this child feeds from. We need to know,"
Tommy sat down at Kira's side and took her hand in his; she opened her eyes and looked to him.
"Tommy," she whispered weakly, he smiled to her and leaned over to kiss her cheek.
"Hey Kira, how are you feeling?" he asked softly.
"Like death, you want to know the identity of the White Ranger is don't you?" she asked, Tommy nodded.
"I'm sorry Kira, it's the only way," Tommy apologized, then kissed her hand.
"Well…I guess its time to collect Daddy," Kira said, softly.
