"We did it!" Hopping up and down and nearly giddy with joy, all that could pretty much be seen of Ris was her wide, wide grin. "We did it! We got the Zords, we kicked the monster's ass and we didn't even have to form the Megazord! We did it! We rule." She stopped jumping up and down and instead began to perform a weird dance. "Oh yeah, we rule. We kick ass!" To demonstrate her skill in that, she performed a roundhouse kick, only to have momentum swing her round and send her crashing into Jay, who sitting on the counter.

The others burst out laughing. "Great...um…whatever that was, Ris." Jeanie said. "Very celebratory."

David, sitting with Eva on the floor, looked up at a very pleased looking Dayton. "We did good?" He asked.

"Yes," Dayton said. "You did good."

"We did better than good," Ris burst out from her new perch on top of Jay. "We kicked ass."

"I think we got the message Ris," Jay said in a dry voice. "Now please. Get off me."

She ignored him. "But Trev, most of all. She pointed at her cousin, leaning on the wall, with his arms and ankles crossed and a wide grin on his face. "Trev kicked big ass."

"Hey." David said. "I'm the one who finished off the freak."

"Yeah. But Trev's the one who got the Zords from their secret hiding place…where ever it was. And he made the earth shake!"

"Actually," Jeanie said. "I'm pretty sure that was all the cavern's doing."

"Rangers." With a soft voice, Dayton easily commanded their attention. "You did magnificently. And Marissa is right, we must give thanks to Trevor. Not only did he manage to retrieve the Zords, he also managed to find his Power in the process."

"Yeah, yeah," Jeanie rolled her eyes and reached out to push him. "Don't get too big a head," she warned him.

"Where are the Zords now Dayton?" Eva asked. "Is Trev going to call on his Power every time we need them?"

At that, Trev started. "God, I hope not," he blurted out. "It was hard enough last time."

"And scary," Ris added. "I don't want to go through that again, even if it is cool."

"Do not worry," Dayton smiled. "The Zords are safe in a hanger specially designed for them. They will use portals to go to you when they are needed."

"Wait a minute…" Jeanie narrowed her eyes at him. "Was this…hanger already in place – where ever the hell it is – when we left."

"No."

"Then, how the hell…?"

Dayton smiled. "Magic," was all he said, and all he would say, no matter how they badgered him.

Finally, David sat back, arms behind him to brace him. "Well, fine. I'll buy that. For now," he added.

Eva rolled her eyes at him. "Even after all we've been through – hell, all we've done, you're still not sure about magic?" She asked him.

"Oh, I'm perfectly sure about it," he teased her, leaning forwards. "I'm just not sure about magic that builds hangers in three frozen hours…if that makes any sense," he added thoughtfully.

She tapped the middle of his forehead and grinned. "Whatever." She said.

Jay coughed and David's head snapped round to glare at him. The black ranger only grinned in reply. Jeanie rolled her eyes. Trev smirked. Ris laughed aloud. "Jeez, guys," he mumbled, and had Eva looking at all of them, puzzled.

"What?" She asked.

"Nothing," Jeanie said in an airy voice and had the blue ranger frowning at her.

"What?" She repeated.

"Nothing," Trev echoed Jeanie's answer. "Hey, do you want to try motocross today?"

"Uh…I don't know," Eva said warily. "I'm not too big into dirt bikes."

"Come on," Ris, galvanised by the mention of her favourite sport, finally bounced off Jay to grab Eva's wrist. "It'll be fun! You'll see."

"Don't worry," David chuckled as Eva's expression. "You won't be on one of the big bikes. It'll be a mini one. Does your dad still have the training bike Uncle Dustin gave him?" He asked Trev.

Trev's smirk widened into a grin. "Sure," he said. "I think I'll be able to dig it up and I know he'll be glad to lend it to us."

"Uh…I have to practice. Right Dayton?" Eva asked in a half despairing voice, twisting round to stare pleadingly at their mentor as she was dragged by Ris to the entrance of the secret base.

"I think," he said. "It is best if you relax with some recreational activities."

"Come on Eva," Jeanie said with a chuckle, following her out and slipping a friendly arm around her shoulders. "You've fought wicked Frissons, faced off with an ancient evil and helped to destroy a big bad monster. What's a little motocross added to the mix?"

"Oh man," Eva groaned in defeat as they dragged her out the base.

Watching them, Dayton couldn't help but smile sadly. He knew that come the future, days of freedom for the Rangers would be far and few in between.
