Tommy pushed the door open, allowing the others to go in before them. He sighed, seeing Kira sitting on the couch, scanning through various pictures. She'd found his stash of ranger pictures. Kim, the last being in, stopped at the doorway and followed his gaze before frowning as well. "Good luck. You'll probably be bombarded with questions." She said and kissed him on the check. He sighed and nodded. Slapping her ass, she yelped and moved in as Tommy shut the door behind him.

"Before you ask any questions, Kira, I've got something to say." He turned to look back and Kimberly and shrugged. "Call the others in here. This is an announcement that everyone should hear. That includes Rocky and the others." He looked back at Kira then down at the picture in her hand. It was a giant photo of the Turbo, Zeo, Morphin and Space rangers all together. The picture had been taken sometime in '99 when all of the rangers were on Earth. Seeing the picture brought back a great deal of memories; memories he wished he could relive again.

"What's up, Thomas?" Tommy jumped and turned around, hiding the picture. Rocky and the others had gathered around; Billy and Hayley standing in the back. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair and glanced back at the rest of the pictures.

"I've come to the conclusion it's time for the Dino Rangers to meet their heritage." Kim's eyes went wide. "I'm going to be setting up a Ranger Reunion come Summer time and I want to get as many people there as I can." He gasped and choked as Kira threw her arms around him, nearly squeezing him.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, and thank you!" Kira shouted, hugging him tightly. Suddenly she pulled back and snarled. "It's about time. We've been rangers for nearly 2 years and the only thing you do is let us meet a few of the past rangers." She kicked him hard in the shin, sending him straight to the ground. "JERK!"

Tommy moaned loudly as everyone roared with laughter. Already this day was going to the way side…

Kira stood at the window, peering out into the darkened forest. On the outside she looked genuinely excited. Hell, who wouldn't be? She was about to meet her predecessor's, but deep in the core of her being, she was completely terrified. She was bout to meet her predecessor's; people whose legacy she'd been carrying on. What bothered her the most was not how she would look but how she should and would act. These people she was going meet set rules for being a power ranger; rules for the next generation.

Suddenly, two strong arms encompassed her and pulled her close. She gasped and looked back to find Conner. She smiled and leaned back against his chest, smiling. She no longer felt scared or worried, but instead complete and whole. Conner looked out the window, peering up at the full moon. It's soft, pale light illuminated the lovers with its heavenly glow. The moon seemed to be talking to him, almost as if it was alive.

"Kira…do you remember when I said I'd be by your side forever?" He turned her around and laid a kiss gently on her forehead. "Well…I meant every word of it. No matter the consequences or actions I must take or face, I'll always be here to protect you…to love you, Kira Ford…" he took and deep breath and then shook his head. "Or should I say…Kira McKnight?"

She gasped and her eyes went wide as a ring slipped onto her finger. Her eyes swelled with tears as she knew only one answer. Throwing her arms around his neck, he pulled her closer to him and smiled lightly. "I love you so much, Kira." He whispered, enjoying the warmth of her body. "I love you so, damn much…"

Kimberly smiled as she stood in the doorway. Conner glanced her way and smiled, waving slightly. She nodded back and quickly disappeared into the shadows. Finally, the circle was complete now and forever…

No one knew Conner and Kira were getting married, except for Dr. O and Kimberly. Many had questioned Kira about the accessory, but she merely shrugged it off as a promise ring; a simple show of Conner's love. Not only that, a nice amount of sickness was traveling through the Oliver Homestead. Both Kim and Kira had come down with a nasty flu, leaving them bid-ridden lots of times. The thankful part of it all: Christmas time.

"This sucks." Kira complained, wiping her nose. "Sick on Christmas Eve; of all the times. How much worse can this get?"

"Oh, don't say that." Kim said, sniffling. "It could get a lot worse, girl."

At that moment the door opened and rush of cold air washed through the house. Kira and Kim shuttered against their blankets and screamed bloody murder for the door to be shut. Conner and Tommy stepped into the living room and glanced between the two sick women. A grin slipped across their faces as they held up a couple bags.

"First things first: food." Tommy said and set his bags down, pulling out several take-out boxes. "Chicken Noodle for Kimberly and Conner got you…Cheese and Broccoli for you, Kira." Both of them thanked Tommy and Conner and greedily dug into their soup, grinning. Tommy searched through the bags and began to stock Conner's arms full of Christmas ornaments. "Later today, Conner and I are going out to get a tree."

The girls looked at each other then up at their lovers. "Wow. Is Tommy actually decorating the house this year?" Kimberly clutched her heart, faking a heart attack. "This is a first, handsome."

Tommy rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, yeah; you're sick and I thought I'd treat you to a better Christmas this year." Kira couldn't help but smile as Kimberly turned a flush red.

"Oh, don't think you're getting out from under it lightly." Conner said calmly and leaned down, pecking his fiancée on the cheek. "I have a special gift to give you later tonight." He whispered and took a step back. It was Kim's turn to grin as Kira blushed. Tommy grinned and pivoted before heading into the kitchen. Conner bowed respectfully before the two woman and disappeared into the darkness of the kitchen.

"Should we tell them?" Kim asked in a whisper and looked down at the white stick in her hand. Kira shrugged lightly, looking at hers as well.

"Nah. Save it as a Christmas gift." She said and curled up under the blanket before nuzzling her pillow. She sighed lightly and closed her eyes. "Besides…I like all the attention."

Kim rolled her eyes and curled up under her blanket as well. The funny thing was, she couldn't disagree with her. In fact, she loved the catering and wished it would go on forever. But alas, the true catering would come in a few months. She just smiled at that thought and fell asleep.

Adam Park, indeed unusual, was well respected by many people; especially amongst the Ranger family. He was well known for his keen influence over his Ninja Powers and often is the go-to man for advice. Unlike Sensai Watanabe, he wasn't so spiritual, but many found the two had in common more then meets the eye. One of Adam's many pastimes was meditation; something he had learned from Sensai Watanabe himself. And over the years, he'd become very good at it.

Today was no exception.

Adam lit the last of his candles and turned to face the small circle he left open for his meditation. He took in a deep breath and knelt down in the circle. He took one last look at the darkened room, making sure no one was around to disturb him and then closed his eyes. Focusing his mind and thoughts, he called upon the spirit hidden within him. He could hear the frogs call echoing within him and he found himself sucked into a sudden vortex.

If one could accurately describe what Adam saw it would be a swirling vortex of colors, shapes of all sizes and memories. It was an endless sea of complex puzzles that one needed to accurately piece together and solve. This was Adam's way of taking his most complex problems and finding a solution to them.

Today was different.

The swirling vortex did not come and instead, it was replaced with a line of wave, hate, fear and anger. The sudden, intense feelings overwhelmed Adam and sucked him into the very depth of its stomach. He could feel himself swirling round and round; almost ready to puke. But he couldn't because for some reason it wouldn't come. Almost as abruptly as it began, it ended and he found himself "standing" in the black void.

"Ok, that was different." Adam said, hearing his voice echoing through the darkness. "Where in Gods name am I?"

"Certainly not Kansas, my friend."

Adam twisted, falling into stance and glared at the comer. Suddenly, his eyes went wide and he took a step back; not quite believing what he was seeing. Standing before him was a Power Ranger. But it wasn't just any Power Ranger; it was a Power Ranger he didn't recognize. The suit looked much cleaner and sleeker in its design. The color was a crimson red and its entire left torso was black with a jagged, white line separating the colors. Oddly, it almost seemed to be forming a 1.

"W-Who are you?" Adam asked, clenching his sweaty fists tighter together. He didn't exactly like his odds, even it was only one and one.

"I am your histories future, should you succeed." The Ranger said calmly, looking away. "I can not tell you why or when your foe will attack, for I do not know. All I can say is, you must stop him if you wish for Earth to have a future."

Adam's brows furrowed as he eased his stance and glancing side to side, expecting to see another image. Nothing came however, and the Red Ranger was still silent and prone. "Who are you and who do you speak of?"

"My name is Jack Landors, the futures Red Ranger. I work for a special police force called Space Patrol Delta; there are six of us. However, we are not…or I should say, we could not defeat one of our enemies. In death, I used the last of my energy to send a message to you. You must stop the Warlock Maleificent before he can…Augh!" Jack fell to his knees, clutching his chest. Adam rushed to his aid, but Jack shook his head and pushed him away. "H-He will attack s-soon after New Years of 2006…you must s-stop him when you confront him…i-if you do not…then there is no future…"

"But what is he after?" Adam asked, kneeling down before the Ranger. He felt so helpless, not being able to do something.

Jack looked up to Adam, clutching his chest harder and let out a painful wheeze. "H-He seeks a certain r-raw material t-to create a Doomsday D-Device known as "Infernus." S-Should he be allowed to a-acquire the m-material…Earth is doomed."

Adam stood up and nodded his head. "You have my word Jack, we will stop him."

Jack held out his shaking hand, clutching Adam's shirt. "O-One…l-last…request…c-contact…m-my future self…f-for…b-back…UP!" Adam gasped, watching as the Ranger shattered into tiny, red-white crystals and sank into the darkness. He stood there, staring at the "ground," trying to absorb everything he'd just heard. For the first time in his life he had just received a premonition of some sorts; a warning from the future.

Adam gasped fore air as his eyes shot open and he found the comforting stone walls of the lab surrounding him. He looked down at the candles and sighed. He had to tell the rangers everything…

Can anyone say Dino Thunder – S.P.D Team-Up? It sure stinks of it. Yeah, I know, it's a lame plot, but hell, it works, aye? Oh, and don't you dare think of the woman Maleificent from Snow White either. This is a different Maleificent. Although, I was tempted to use that Maleificent because Disney owns both PR and Snow White but I decided against it. Just wouldn't seem right XD Anyway, I hope you guys are enjoying this so far. This story is a long way from completion.

May the Powers Protect You.
