A/n: Hello! I'm back, obviously, and have much to tell you...

not about my vacation, if you want to know about that, click the homepage link on my profile.

But I do have things to tell you about this story, and it's sequel.

After much thinking (aka, on an impulse) I decided to wrap this story up with this chapter, and start it's sequel, Third Future Uncertain. I may change the title, but it'll still be something like that. So anyways, Here's the last chapter, and the chapter after this will be a teaser for it's sequel.

Oh, and one more thing. The end part about the containment cards is purely made up. I needed a way to explain how they worked, and this sounded as good as any.

Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers SPD.

Chapter Eight

Syrea watched the Cadets of SPD do their morning training exercises in the early morning light. It made her happy to be free to roam about the Base, and to be around people again. It was even better because the people were treating her with respect and trust.

It had been only two weeks since Anubis 'Doggie' Cruger found his wife guilty of treason, and put her in a containment card that was now stored in high level security along with Grumm's card.

However, ever since then, Cruger had reverted to the way he was directly after the destruction of Sirius, recluse and depressed.

Well, that's what the rumors were saying anyways.

Personally, she didn't know. She had been trying her best to stay away from him and Dr. Manx. Now that Isinia was no longer a threat to the future, Syrea wasn't sure what to do. Should she go back to her time? Could she even go back? She knew that time had changed drastically enough that she might not even exist.

Her blue cat-like ears laid flat against her head, showing her contempt for time traveling.

"On the other hand," She thought, "I could stay here. But I'm not sure that would be okay."

"But I would really like to."

XxxxxxX

Meanwhile, back inside the Base, the same question was running though the mind of Doggie Cruger.

He was pushing aside the grief, guilt, and disbelief of Isinia's betrayal (which, according to Kat, who knew what he was doing, wasn't good for him). But he had a base to run, and didn't have the time to deal with these emotions. Plus, he had a young hybrid who had no place to go. A hybrid he felt somewhat responsible for.

"To be blunt, We don't have the technology to send her back to her time."

Cruger looked over to see Kat Manx stand in in the doorway of his Private quarters. He wasn't surprised that she was there, or the fact that she knew what he was thinking about. She had a habit of knowing what was troubling him, and often stopped by to see what she could do to help.

Even if, at the time, he didn't want the help.

"So, she is stuck here then?"

Kat nodded her head as she stepped inside. "Yes. But I don't believe she'll mind it that much."She stopped in front of him, and looked at him the way she did when she was trying to figure out something. "The only problem is, though, is what are we going to do with her here. No one around the base will think twice about her, but General Birdy certainly will."

He sighed, knowing she was right, like usual. No one in the SPD base on Earth minded if Syrea stayed. In fact, he knew much of the younger cadets were starting to really like the young woman since most of the time she acted like they did.

But Birdy, the commander of all the SPD bases, would more than likely have a problem with it.

After thinking a few moments about it, Cruger spoke. "I'll tell him the truth, of course. Syrea managed to help advert a serious disaster, and cannot return to her time. And, if need be, I'll claim guardianship and all responsibilities for her."

Kat thought about it for a moment, before nodding. "Very well, but may I add one thing?"

Cruger nodded, "Of course."

"I want guardianship and responsibilities for her as well. She is, after all, my daughter as well."

He smiled at her. "Very well, Kat."

Isinia paced back and forth inside her containment card. Which, from the inside, looked like a small white room with a small window in one wall, showing the outside world. Food and other things necessary for life weren't needed in the small alternative dimension inside the card.

As Isinia paced, she thought about the two people who were the most responsible for her ending up in here. Kat Manx, who over heard her plans and chased her, sending the whole base on alert. And Syrea, who stopped her from getting to Grumm and escaping, but most importantly, tipped everyone off about her in the first place.

All of this made her swear revenge on the two, if she ever got out that is.

Isinia stopped as the room shook, meaning someone was moving the containment card.

"I give you a simple job, and look what happens. You get yourself caught!" The person who held the card said. "I'm tempted to leave both of you here."

Isinia heard Grumm talk from somewhere near, meaning his containment card was close to hers. "We both did as you commanded, so if anyone is to blame, it's YOU!"

Silently, she agreed with him, but didn't dare say it out loud.

"Silence Grumm!" the person said as they pressed something that beeped in response.

Less than two seconds later, a Security guard came into the room, making his usual rounds, and saw no change in the room. He smirked as he saw both Grumm and Isinia acting quieter than usual. " 'bout time the two of you accepted you fate."

However, as he turned to leave, he didn't see the two images flicker, showing two things that were definitely not Grumm or Isinia.

Ending Authors note:

My very first multiple chapter SPD fic done. Actually, I think this is my first multi chapter story I finished period.

But none the less, the series isn't over. After all, I wrote that little cliff hanger at the end, did I not? The next chapter, as I said before, is a little preview of things to come in the sequel, which might start sometime later this month. But don't go flaming me if it isn't.

Not that any of you will. I'm surprised I haven't gotten a single flame for this.

Not that I'm complaining.

So, As my last note in this story, I thank all of those who read this story all the way through, and doubly thank all those who read and reviewed. Especially the ones who reviewed all the chapters!

So, Thank you!

See ya in the sequel!
