Author Notes: This is a continuation one-shot from my original one-shot A Friend for Angel, and its sequels, Leaving the Past Behind, Found Again, From Out Of The Blue, and Journey To The Past. You don't necessarily have to read those to understand this but it might help if you did. This is a crossover between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Power Rangers.

Memorial Lake, California

"Are you sure this is the place? It's only a lake." The young blonde woman asked her friend. The guy nodded.

"I'm positive. The old legends say that the lake holds an invisible island that contains the remains of the Scoobies and possibly the Guardians." The brunette told her. The blonde frowned.

"Those are just silly legends, Jay, they aren't true." She argued. Jay shrugged.

"Believe what you want to but Grandfather told me the tale who heard it from his great grandfather before he died. He said that the last of the fallen warriors, the Guardians, may still be walking around. No one knows exactly what happened to them after the Key and the Son died protecting the old city of Los Angeles when the Gildeans attacked. It's said they still hang around the lake." He explained, scanning the horizon. The young woman frowned.

"Again, that was just an olds wives tale grandfather told you to get you to sleep." She argued. Jay smirked, spotting something. He went over and gently cleared away the bramble covering a small monument close to the ground. He dusted the plaque off as his companion looked over his shoulder to read it.

"Kimberly Ann Hart-Holloway-McLaren

Kim

The Crane

31 October 3935"

As his companion stared at the plaque in complete shock, Jay glanced around and spotted another monument a small ways off. He hurried over and cleared it of growth.

"William James Holloway

Spike

The Warrior

19 September 3298"

After a few minutes of searching, Jay and his companion found the last four monuments of the legendary Guardians. Five feet from The Warrior's monument was the Red Witches, then the Champion's, The Son's, and just beyond that was the Key's.

Willow Marie Rosenberg-McLaren

Just in front of and between the monuments for The Red Witch and The Champion's monuments, sat another monument close to the ground. Jay cleared it reverently, knowing instinctively what it was.

"Here rests the Heroes of the Night

Accepting their scared duty, they have fought, bled and died for the Earth.

We ask that if these monuments are ever found, that they remain where they are and kept hidden by their discoverers

To the warriors, the champions that follow us, we give you our blessings

Jenny, Kendra, Doyle, Joyce, Tara, the Fallen Potentials, te Fallen Slayers, Anya, Cordelia, Fred, Wesley, Gunn, Illyria, Faith, Robin, Andrew, Oz, Sam, Graham, Giles, Xander, Buffy, Riley, Connor, Dawn, Willow, Spike, Kimberly, and Angel."

The two young adults stood in awe as they stared at the monuments once again shining in the sunlight. Molded to the main plaque were metal etchings of all the warriors and Jay smiled when he recognized The Crane from the picture album his grandfather had shown him.

"He was telling the truth. Great Grandfather Jason really was best friends with the Crane." The young man whispered. He turned to his companion.

"We can't tell anyone about this, Kimber. Great grandfather would have wanted them to rest in peace." He told his twin sister. Kimber Scott nodded.

"We tell no one what we found. We respect their wishes." She agreed. Just then, an unfamiliar tone came from Jay's pocket. He pulled out a strange metal device and flipped it open.

"Red and Pink here." He answered as his twin sister moved closer.

"Red, Pink, we have a situation in Angel Grove. A giant turtle is attempting to eat the Ranger memorial. Again." Zandra, the granddaughter of the legendary Zordon of Eltar, told her students dryly. Jay and Kimber rolled their eyes.

"They really should choose another memorial to try and eat. This is getting old. We're on our way. Red and Pink out." He shut the communication device off. Glancing back at the monuments, he smiled. He turned back to Kimber.

"We have their blessings. Better not let them down." He told her. She nodded and they got in position.

"It's morphin time!

"Pterodactyl!"

"Tyrannosaurus!"

As the two ranger's teleported away, neither noticed the wisps of smoke that became the spirits of Kimberly and Jason. The former pink ranger smirked at her life-long best friend who sighed.

"If we were still alive, you'd owe me twenty bucks."
