Summary: The Fight for Justice continues with Kimberly and Kira joining in the battle. Maleificent has not yet managed to gather the power of the Red and Blue Dino Gem's, but it seems the Rangers are throwing the power to him. Meanwhile, S.P.D has been contacted by Commander Kruger and Kat Manx; the news they delivered was not good. It appears the Maleificent's arrival in the timeline could have serious consequences should Maleificent be allowed to face Vertox. The new orders: Delete on Sight.

A/N: Oh the suspense! I think I'm getting better at writing, don't you? TT I hope so. I'm really tired to give this story depth so none of you get bored. I'm glad you're hanging with me. It means a lot to me TT

Tommy cursed silently and gave a sigh. Turning, he stood in the door way of the dojo and glanced in at the futuristic rangers. "Yes, there is someone here."

"Spying on us?" Syd growled and folded her arms. "Where's your manners?"

Tommy frowned deeply at the woman and folded his arms. "Have you know I was on my way to bed when I heard you guys talking. I wanted to see if you needed any assistance and then I heard something about deleting something and permission from the High Courts." It was a complete lie but the faces of the S.P.D rangers told they bought it.

Jack rolled his eyes. "Whatever, we heard Conner yelling. What's up?"

Tommy gasped and glanced at his morpher. "Conner, this is Tommy, you read?"

"No, but I do."

"Kimberly? What's up, why was Conner screaming?" Tommy frowned, glancing at the S.P.D rangers. He hadn't heard her leave.

"Two Words: The Warlock."

Jack glanced at the Rangers. "That's our cue." He said and pulled out his morpher.

Tommy nodded. "Right. Back ups on the way." He flicked his wrist as the brachio morpher appeared. "You guy's ready?"

Jack nodded sternly as the other rangers retrieved their morphers. The past and future rangers lined up together and a strange hue consumed flooded the room. "Dino Thunder," Tommy said, throwing his arms out in front of him. Jack and the other's took a step forward, raising their morphers. "S.P.D!" Tommy jammed the key into the morpher and twisted. "Power up!" The S.P.D Rangers drew their arms back as the energy began to dance around their bodies. The house rumbled slightly as the sky over head darkened for a moment. "EMERGENCY!"

The final cry echoed through the Dojo as the brilliant colors flashed through the room. Energy began to swirl in a cyclone around the rangers as their bodies were pumped to the maximum. Their respective suits enveloped their bodies and with a flash of rainbow light, they were gone…

Billy sighed frustrated and ran hand through his long hair. Hayley watched him for a moment and then glanced down at the computer. For the last week or two they'd been working on the conjunction device for the Megazord as well as the new zords. Things had been going along nice until all the other side projects came up. Glancing at Billy, she sighed as well, staring at the desk.

"Billy, can I ask you a question?" She tapped the pen against the desk and looked at him.

"What's up?" He said, typing away at the computer. He squinted and began type in another line of code.

"Why did you yell at Kira a few weeks ago? His typing stopped. "I mean, was it really that evil of her to learn about her heritage?"

Billy sighed and shook his head. "No, the past is just hard for me, that's all." He said and looked at the computer again. "Things about the past I don't want to remember any more, Hayley."

"Like?" She questioned, wanting to push it further. If it was as bad as he lead on, it would be best to talk about it.

He sighed and held his head with one hand as the other ran through his hair. "On the original ranger team, Trini and I developed a very…loving bond." He began, glancing up at the wall. "We loved each other, but we never showed it all to the other rangers. If any thing, the only people who knew was possibly Kimberly and maybe Jason as well. But I'm not sure. She was a very secretive girl."

"What's so bad about the Bond of Love?" Her pen was silent now, confused by his statement.

"The fact that it was broken, Hayley." He said, turning to face her. "Trini died in a car crash a few years back…and now a days, the nostalgia is really painful rather then happy."

Hayley looked at the desk, feeling bad about bringing the whole situation up. "Oh…I'm sorry, Billy. If I had known…"

"No, it's already. I should apologize to Kira. She really didn't know either." He said and turned to face the computer. "Anyway, have you got the next set of code to feed me?"

She nodded her head and picked up the paper. She smiled, peering at him for a moment. This was the beginning of a very happy relationship…

Kimberly flipped over the sword and landed almost perfectly; as perfect as one can be for a gymnast. She spun around and swept the warlock off his feet and Kira descended from the sky with her blast going. Laser after laser after laser pelted the warlock, slamming him harder against the ground. Kimberly flipped away, drawing her own blaster and added to the fire. The bright flashed illuminated the darkening forest and the smoke billowed high into the sky.

Kira drove her foot hard into the Warlocks chest and flipped away, unleashing another volley of laser fire. Kim sprang into the air, Thundermax saber at the ready and charged down towards their foe. Her mighty battle cry echoed through the forest and she swung sword at her foe, prepared to deliver the final strike.

Instead a Grand Fireball mashed into her chest and sent her flying into the sky.

"Kim!" Kira cried, reaching into the sky. She could hear Kim's painful cries as the fireball tore at her suit. She slipped off the fireball and fell towards the ground, clutching her chest. Kira jolted forward, jumping branch to branch and at the last second, sprang into the air. She caught Kim with a disgruntled oof and landed on another branch.

"Impressive." Maleificent said, slowly standing. To see that Kira was unharmed, her grinned wider. "Most impressive."

Kimberly hissed against barred teeth and squeezed her saber tightly. Kira snapped the blaster out as it fell into blade mode. Kim jumped to another branch and raised the saber, preparing to strike. For a moment, Maleificent watched the rangers, preparing to make his own move.

"Energy Orb, Full power!" Maleificent gasped and whirled around. His eyes went wide as the massive orb consumed his being, sending electrical sparks slamming into his body. The orb enclosed around him and deep into his body and suddenly exploded. The fire raced through the forest, scorching the snow and trees. The other rangers dropped down from the trees; each carrying their sword.

"Kimberly?" Tommy called, looking around. "Kira? You guy's here?"

Kira and Kim dropped down from the trees as Ethan, Conner and finally Trent began to stir from within the snow. Kira powered down and ran over to her boyfriends side, easing him up. Tommy helped Trent up as Kim rushed to Trents side. Each of them looked battered and bruised from the fight they had with Maleificent. Each of them stared at the crater in the middle of the battlefield as the most billowed into the air.

Suddenly, a white light burst forth and its rays raced into the sky. All eyes were transfixed on the sphere as it circled over their heads, covering them a pixie-white dust. It moved to Trent again and swirled around his morpher before disappeared into the gem itself. He inhaled powerfully, feeling invigorated again as the costume rematerialized. He sighed and powered down shortly after and fell against Kimberly. She wrapped an arm around him to keep him standing.

"Is it over?" Conner asked wearily, peering at the smoking crater. A golden beam exploded into the sky, splitting the clouds apart. Conner sighed and let his head fall. "Didn't think so."

Jack growled beneath his mask and waved his hands. They spread out before the Dino Rangers and fell into stance. "Stay back, Dino Rangers. This is our fight." He said sternly, withdrawing the Deltamax Strikers. There was a moment of silence as Maleificent wobbled on his feet. Blood streamed down his face as he clutched his ribs.

"This is it, Rangers! Prepare…prepare to meet your doom…" he hissed and shakily held up the sword.

The rangers did what was asked and took a step back. There was silence on the battle field as the S.P.D Rangers closed in on Maleificent, preparing for the final strike. Suddenly, with the cracking of a twig, the rangers struck. Maleificent twisted with a blinding speed and caught the rangers across the chest.

Except for one.

Jack fell into a roll and slashed out with his saber. Maleificent howled with pain as he lurched forward into rising Deltamax Saber. More blood arched through the air and coated the snow. The Dino Rangers eyes were transfixed by the savage display from the S.P.D rangers. Tommy knew the orders they had and what they must do. He looked away, peering at the white snow as Maleificent's painful screams echoed long throughout the forest. He knew the other Dino Rangers were just as shocked and bewildered as he was; not knowing what to do or think.

"It's their job." He said simply. He could hear the sighs escape them and the heads fall. He didn't have to look up. He could feel it. Clutching his Brachio Staff, he looked up at Maleificent, seeing him pant as the S.P.D Rangers took stance before him.

"Dino Thunder. Power up." Conner whispered as the red energy suit consumed him again. Trent, Kira and Kim stared at him in disbelief.

"White Ranger. Dino Power." The white light engulf Trent once again as he unsheathed the Drago sword.

Kira looked to Trent then to Conner. She glanced Kim and gave her a nod. Raising her morpher, she sighed and glared. "Dino Thunder. Power up."

Kimberly watched as the suit appeared over her form and as she stood tall beside her boyfriend. Glancing at Tommy, he had already morphed. She sighed and raised her own morpher. "Dino Thunder. Power up."

The S.P.D rangers glanced over their shoulders to see the Dino Rangers standing there in full uniform. Tommy slashed his saber and they fell into stance behind them. "Dino Rangers! S.P.D Rangers! Fall into line!"

Jack and the other's too their respective places beside the Dino Rangers and fell into stance. Maleificent's eyes went wide at the line of Rangers; the line of rangers that called for his demise. He lowered his head and sighed, clutching his blade. Suddenly, his head snapped up to see the rangers charging forward. His eyes flashed a blood red and he raised his own blade before meeting the Rangers in the last dance…

Silence.

That was the current trend of the Oliver Homestead as Tommy held Kimberly close to him. Conner sat on the couch nearest to them, rubbing Kira's back so very lightly. Across from them, Trent was stretched out on the second couch, staring blankly at the ceiling. None of them knew what to think, or do anymore. They had killed someone and this time…it wasn't out of defense…and it wasn't like killing a monster. This time it seemed like murder. No, they knew it wasn't, but the pain felt so real, so powerful. They watched as the Warlock died, screaming out his last, belittling comments before his body was torn apart by the energy orb.

Trent glanced at Dr. O and Kimberly then to Conner and Kira. Ethan was in the basement, helping Hayley and Billy configuration the teleportation unit for a time in the future. He sighed heavily and closed his eyes. "Do you think we did the right thing, Dr. O?" He questioned, breaking the eerie silence.

For a moment, Tommy didn't say anything, but his eyes flickered over to him for acknowledgement. "Only you can decide what is right and what is wrong, Trent. If you followed me into battle…then you thought it was right." He shrugged lightly and shook his head. "I don't know what else to say but that."

"I believe we did the right thing. Our resume includes saving the world…and by…killing…Maleificent, we lived upon to that priority." Conner interjected, letting his fingers glide slowly through Kira's hair. She cooed at the soft feeling.

"But what your job or boss says…is it always the right thing?" Tommy said, raising a brow. "If Kira turned into the Evil Yellow Ranger and I told you to kill her…or if she becomes a very serious threat to the world, would you kill her? Just because I or your job says so?"

Conner looked down at Kira; she waited for his reaction. He could see the sadness in her eyes. "I'd never harm, Kira, Dr. O. You should know that by now…"

"See? You have to do what you think is right; even if it means disobeying orders sometimes, Conner." Tommy said and sighed, looking at the floor. "Even if it means killing another human…"

Everyone returned to their silence at that and fell into their own thoughts. None really wanted to believe what they had done today, but everyone knew they had. With deep heavy sighs, they cleared their thoughts as they heard the footsteps approaching. A moment later, Jack appeared in the room; the other Rangers following behind.

"We…don't really know what to say." Jack said, glancing at the exhausted and battered rangers. "We contacted Kat and Commander Kruger; they've figured out how to open a dimensional portal, so we will be returning home."

Tommy smiled and tried to stand but just fell down again. Jack shook his head, smiling. "No need to get up for our sake. I…we…just want to say thank you. If hadn't been for you guys, we may not have beaten Maleificent."

"It was our pleasure." Kimberly whispered, smiling as Tommy held her close. "We are just glad we were of some service to you."

Jack gave one last respectful bow and then the S.P.D rangers snapped a crisp and powerful salute. They held it for a moment and then let it fall before making their way outside where the portal awaited them.

No one said a word. They all glanced between each other and Tommy gave them a small nod and that was it. Lights out in the Oliver homestead…

Tomorrow, was Christmas…
