a/n-some of you reviewed that you think i could write another sequel to this. if you have any ideas, tell me! i had this idea for a sorta sequel, but it really isn't a sequel. it would be like a mini series of a bunch of one-shot stories about either the twins ranger team members, or maybe even the kids of the old rangers. i had a few ideas for those. and maybe i'll start writing them once i'm done with this.

anyway, about kim, all that i'll say for now is that people can learn from their mistakes, and most of the time she was just tuning tommy out(in the future).

disclaimer-no! i wont say it!

Chapter Forty Four-Revelations-wait wasn't that already a chapter title? oh well.

Kim grimmaced slightly. "At least let me wait until Jason and Kat get here. It'll be easier if I tell all of you at the same time."

"Fine." Tommy finally relented. "But you better tell the truth."

Oh you are so dead, Ann Trinity Oliver! Kim thought to herself. Yeah, he's really worshipping the ground I walk on.

Silence reigned over the whole group while they waited for Jason and Kat to get there. So, the whole house was basically silent for the next fifteen minutes or so. Then finally, Jason and Kat showed up. Tommy went upstairs to let them in and bring them down to the command center.

The only thing that stoppped the pair of them from rushing over and tackling Kim to the ground out of happiness, was the looks that were on everyone's faces. Especially Tommy's, when he looked at Kim. It was a look of pure mistrust. After Jason and Kat had made their way into the command center, Tommy turned back to where Kim was standing.

"I believe there was something you were going to explain to us." He said in what would best be described as a cold voice. Or, as Kim called it in her head, Tommy's evil green ranger voice.

Kim sighed. "I don't see why you don't believe me, but here goes nothing. While I was in that coma, part of me did this weird time travel sort of thing. But, as was apparent to all of you who saw me in the past three years, I didn't take my body with me. Anyway, in this future, I met the most amazing teenagers. They were the bravest people I have ever met. You see, they were raised by two people whom they had come to refer to as their aunt and uncle. Their mother was dead, and their father had been under an evil spell for the past thirteen years. These two teenagers, were my children. Ann and David."

This pronouncement was met by total silence from everyone in the room. Kim took this as a sign that they believed her so far, and continued on with her story.

"Apparently, shortly after my return from the future, I woke up from my coma. A few days later, a new evil surfaced, took myself and my family hostage, put my fiance under her spell, mistreated my children, and forced my friends to unknowingly kill me. At that same time, the newest Ninjetti rangers had teamed up with the old rangers, and were trying to free the four of us. It was too late for me to be saved, and at the same time I was killed, so was Kira."

Seven heads turned sharply to face Kira, whose face had drained of all color.

"When I died, the spell on Tommy was broken for a brief moment, and he seized the opportunity to free his children. After they returned to Earth, he fell under the spell once more, and served this evil empress for the next thirteen years. Meanwhile, the twins were being raised by none other than Trini and Billy Cranston. Billy, being the genius he is, was able to build a time machine to go back to the past. It was the twins intent to go and save their parents, and Kira, thus saving the lives of everyone they had ever known from their childhood. And so, they went back, and everything was changed. The twins knew that in doing so, they would be erased from the entire time stream. But that didn't happen.

"Instead, they were sent to the future they had helped to create. There, everyone was happy, and their families were whole once more. These twins, who were in the future that wasn't theirs, had no idea what their purpose was, and therefore missed their chance to have everything stay the same. For they missed their time to go back to the day that Billy had sent them before, to keep everything the same. So, nothing was changed from the way they had originally known it. But this time, they came up with a better plan. A plan that would break the time loop they had created in going back to the past. They would send a message back, but with someone who belonged there. And that, was me.

"That is how I knew everything." Kim explained. "I've learned everything in the future. And I am here now to make sure everything happens the way it didn't happen before."

No one spoke for a moment. Then, the silence was broken by Conner.

"Well," He began, "That makes sense. I don't know how we could have doubted you in the first place."

"Thanks Conner." Kim said.

"But what about me?" Kira asked. "Am I going to die?"

"No." Kim said sharply. "That's why I am here. And don't you say a word about how if you were dead in the future, so that means you have to die now, so nothing is changed. Let me tell you something, if you were meant to die, then Ann and David wouldn't have seen you alive and well, married, and with a little baby boy, in the future they travelled to by accident."

"I had a little boy?" Kira asked softly in awe. Kim smiled at her and nodded.

"Hrmph." Conner said.

Kim rolled her eyes at him. "Oh, grow up! The baby has to have a father, doesn't he? And didn't I say Kira was married? Who do you suppose the lucky guy was?"

Both Conner and Kira blushed furiously at that comment. Ethan, Trent, and Hayley shared a smirk at this. Tommy however, was still standing there, quite motionlessly, and without a sound. There was also a look of pain on his face.

"I'm so sorry Kim." He said softly. A small smile played across her lips.

"You better be." She replied in equally soft tones. "Just remember for future reference that I can tell the truth, OK? And while we're on the subject, I do have ears, and I can listen."

"Um...ok." Tommy replied uncertainly.

Kim turned back to the viewing screen. "Ok, now we have to contact all of the former Ninjetti. We're gonna need some help."

"Finally." Jason said suddenly. "I was starting to wonder what you wanted with us."

"Uh...Jason, dear." Kat said softly. "I was the one who had Ninjetti powers, not you."

"Oh, yeah."

Where is he?! He was just supposed to be watching. How hard could it be to follow two former rangers, one of which just got out of the hospital after almost three years? He's pathetic. I need some new help around here. Ugh! Where on Earth did he go? When I find Goldar, I'm gonna kill him.

Scarlette was brought from her thoughts by the sudden entrance of a young girl into her throne room.

"What are you doing in here?" Scarlette snapped.

"I want mu-mummy." The little girl stuttered. "When is she coming back?"

Scarlette looked at her younger sister reproachfully. "Mother isn't coming back. I explained this to you years ago, when they left. Mother and father have no place here now. You'd be better off just forgetting about them."

Young Crystal burst into tears. "But I want Mommy! You're a big meanie 'Lettie! I just wanna see my mommy!"

"Well you aren't gonna see her." Scarlette taunted. "Now go away. I have important business to attend to."

"Like what?"

"Like finding out where Goldar got to." Scarlette snapped.

Crystal wrinkled her nose in disgust. "I don't like him. He's a big meanie, just like you. 'Cept you're meaner." She added in an afterthought. "I don't want that big gold monkey comin' back to our castle."

"It's not a castle and it's not 'ours' as you so...nicely...oput it. It's mine and mine alone."

"Is not! Mommy said it was gonna be all mine when I got bigger. You just made mommy and daddy go away so you could have it." Crystal said, tears threatening to fall from her eyes once more. "I could kick you out."

"I wanna see you try." Scarlette hissed. "But you're just a little girl. What could you do?"

"You aren't gonna find out till it's too late." Crystal replied before stalking off, her blonde pigtails swinging behind her, shining in the light reflected in the room.

Scarlette smirked as the little girl left the room.

There could still be hope for the little brat yet. Now, back to Goldar. Where the hell is he?!

"Hey, is that Rocky?" Tanya asked, nudging her husband and indicating the man in red standing on the porch of the house they were approaching in their car.

Adam glanced at him. "Yeah, wonder why he's here. Maybe he got a call too? Now that was one weird call."

"I wonder what Tommy wants." Tanya said thougthfully. "He said something about needing the Ninjetti powers. This could get interesting. Seeing you back in uniform and all."

"You're just jealous." Adam retorted, as he stopped the car next to Tommy's Jeep.

"Right." Tanya said as she got out of the car. "Hey Rocky!"

The man on the porch spun around.

"Tanya! Adam! What are you guys doing here?"

Tanya rolled her eyes. "I'm not a guy. But Adam is here cuz Tommy called us and said that he needed all of the former Ninjetti for something. And I'm guessing that that's why you're here?"

Rocky nodded. "I've been waiting for ages for people to answer this door. The inhabitants of this house are so lazy. A third of them are never on time. And the other two-thirds are always late because their mode of transportation is the third of this household who can never be on time."

"But you forgot about the other third of the household who hasn't been using their leg muscles for the past three years, and therefore can't open the door as soon as someone rings the bell." A voice said from behind Rocky. It was Kim. While the three friends had been catching up and poking fun at Tommy for his usual tardiness, she had taken the opportunity to open the door for them.

As one, the three former rangers spun around to find the source of the voice.

"Kim!" Rocky exclaimed. "Ahh!!! You're back!"

In one swift movement, he swept her up into his arms and spun her around on the front porch. It was as he was turning her around that he noticed the two small figures standing in the shadows of the doorway.

"Uncle Rock is crazy." Ann whispered loudly to her brother, who nodded his agreement. Rocky quickly put Kim down.

"Don't worry." Adam said, giving Kim a quick hug. "You're forgiven for taking so long to open the door."

"Good."

"Welcome back Kim." Tanya said, smiling at the smaller woman before her.

"Thanks." Kim said brightly. "Now everybody follow me. We're going to the command center. We have a little problem on our hands at the moment."

The other three adults shrugged and followed her into the house.

One Hour Later

Dead silence.

That was what could be heard in the basment command center...dead silnce.

It had a taken a while, but everyone had finally shown up. Last to arrive had been Trini and Billy, who had had to close Kim's gymnastics' studio early. When everyone had assembled in the basement, Kim tried to explain everything to them, but still without actually revealing that it had involved time travel. She just tried to make it seem as if Goldar had suddenly attacked them for no reason. For some reason she couldn't help but think that Tommy would be very mad at her for revealing, well, everything so quickly.

"So we have to go to the moon palace and take away her staff?" Conner finally questioned. "Okay, why does that sound like it's gonna be really easy, but probably not be?"

"It might be easy, it might be hard." Kim shrugged. "We just need to know that we have all of your guy's support. We're really gonna need it."

"We're in." Rocky said, indicating himself and the other former Ninjetti rangers.

"So are we." Conner said, indicating himself and his teammates.

"Good." Kim said. "Next stop, the moon."
