Two and a Half Years Later...

Mako quickly walked home after what was really a quiet day. Mako wished it was at least somewhat hectic because the quiet day made the wait more unbearable for the three most important people in her life.

"Mommy!" came the little voices of two of those important people.

Godzilla would've called the smile on Mako's face huge as she ran towards the two little girls Mako loved most of all, closer to the age of two than one. The daughter Kotoha borne, Suzuka, was just starting to walk and was still awkward on her feet, as the numerous bandages on her legs showed. Not that it took the smile from Suzuka's face. It would bug her for a second or two, but she would then get herself up and try again. The daughter from Mako, despite only starting to walk after Suzuka, already had Mako's gracefulness. Rin was also already learning Mako's cooking crafts and was actually a pro at pudding and without making too big a mess. It didn't matter: they were both the most perfect girls a mother could ask for and Mako was more than happy to hug them both.

"Did you two have a good day?" Mako said with a smile. Both girls talked excitedly, in a mix of Japanese and baby, about their day, about making cookies, watching cartoons, greeting customers, "Take-chan-tachi" coming...

"Shh." Rin said, like Suzuka revealed a huge, matter of life and death secret.

"Oops." Suzuka said. "I fib. No Take-chan." she finished.

"Oh, that happens." Mako said, not fooled for a moment as Kotoha came out the door and towards her.

"Mako, I'm so glad you're home." Kotoha said after giving Mako a kiss. "We have a large group looking for something and you..." Kotoha saw the look of pure joy and mischievous smile on Mako's face and knew. "Who told?"

"Well, Suzuka said something, but she said it was a fib, so I know nothing." Mako said as she carried her little ladies into the shop.

Although she knew what to expect, Mako was still ecstatic to see Takeru, Ryunosuke, Chiaki, Genta, Hikoma, Karou, Urara, Urara's son Isamu, her's and Kotoha's parents, Shirou and Jan, all together and as happy to see Mako as she was to see them, a fact made clear as it took ten minutes to give a hug to each member of her extended family. They were about to gather into the living room when Suzuka and Rin gasped loudly.

"The Gokaiger ship." both yelled at the top of their lungs.

All the former Rangers and the parents ran to the windows, some climbing on top of each other to get a look and saw it was indeed the red flying pirate ship known as the Gokai Galleon. They noticed shining dots flying away from the ship. Curious, Takeru and Shirou led all of the Rangers out. Rin and Suzuka followed them, not stopped by the adults because, in their hearts, they knew there wasn't something to fear. They watched the ship sail away as more dots shot away. Jan noticed one of those dots went to Ryo/Ryuuranger's gyoza restaurant.

"We're getting our powers back." Jan shouted.

Sure enough, ten of those dots came hurling at them. They slowed down quickly as each dot went to each Ranger's hand. They all looked and saw that each had a Ranger Key of their lost power. Just a second later, the Keys glowed and were absorbed into each Ranger. They all felt the same thing and knew... although that didn't preclude a test to make sure.

"Ippitsu Sōjō!" all seven Shinkengers shouted.

"Boil Over, Power of the Beast! Beast On!" Jan shouted.

"Heavenly Saints, Grant me the use of Magic. Mahou Henshin, Maagi Magi Magiiro ." Urara said

"Fever!" Shirou shouted.

Doing their respective transformation moves, they became their Ranger forms once again. Although each wore a helmet, nothing short of a mecha standing in the way could hide the happiness and gratitude to the Gokaigers each of them felt. There was hugging, laughing, dancing, and a failed kiss by Shinken Pink and Shinken Yellow. They were so excited that they failed to notice the presence of two astonished and dumbstruck little girls.

"Grandmas. Grandpas." Rin and Suzuka asked as the grandparents came out with Isamu. "Why do they have the Gokaigers' powers?"

"The Gokaigers got those powers from them." Isamu said with a smile. "They're the original Shinkengers, GekiRed, MagiBlue, and Battle Kenya."

Shinken Yellow and Shinken Pink realized the stares and went to grab their children. Rin and Suzuka continued to stare in awe and pride.

"Let me tell you how I met mommy pink." Kotoha said as she began the tale, helped by Mako and their extended family. And Rin and Suzuka, although having to keep quiet on all their identities, would be forever proud of having a family of heroes.

As trite as it sounds, and it doesn't mean there weren't a few rough patches down the road, they lived happily ever after.
