For the last time, I own no part of PRSPD or any associated characters. This chapter is a cross between a chapter and an epilogue so it's very brief and factual with not many details on emotions. Enjoy.

When I next woke up I was on Earth. It was a strange place to be at first – houses? Cars? Roads? Shops? – what was wrong with these people? Why couldn't they use natural resources or their own bodies?

As I'd woken, in my Travotel bed, my first sight had been my brother, sitting next to me, worried. I'd been cleaned and patched up – all of the dried blood scrubbed from my limbs. I have memories of Cruger asking Xena if I could be taken to safety, and Xena deploying my brother to stay with me and that they'd catch up soon, but every time that I ask, both of them say that I was probably dreaming.

It was so hard to adjust to to begin with. But soon the horrors of my past life, of the battle, sickness, my children, faded to contemplations, then to nightmares, then to dreams, and eventually to distant thoughts which did not bother me. And for some reason I felt free. Free of my hateful mother, my evil leader and my parental history. It was all just another persons life story now.

Eventually I plucked up the courage to ask Cruger why he'd come to our planet, and he told me his story. Of Sirius, of his wife, of the first SPD, who'd been bought together by a band of commanders who'd been monitering the sirian attack. He told us how he was the only remaining Sirian and how he'd been employed into the SPD staff and assigned the task of rescuing as many of us as he could.

"I saw you Kat, and I knew you needed help. A woman your age, with long black hair, was standing over you, crying, She knew you needed help too. Felix wanted to stay with you, but the girl was stubborn, and insisted the rest of the tribe would look after themselves." Cruger explained.

"That sounds like a typical Xena." I sighed.

"My next task is hard. I'm going to become the commander of an Earth Base for SPD and somehow, bring together an invincible group of five people to defend Earth from a similar fate. It'll also be my job to employ people who'll be able to develop technology to make them invincible. Personally, I will not battle anymore."

Following his life as a healer, my brother went to find out how humans healed each other on this planet, and quickly became an apprentice doctor/surgeon at Newtech hospital. He was provided with accommodation and moved out.

Then it was just me and Cruger. We learned a lot about each other in that half-year. Cruger began to open up to me, even more so than before, and I quickly discovered that he had a recurrent nightmare, and exactly how I could comfort him. I told him all about my hard life, my dead kids, and we learned to lean on each other.

It wasn't long before I went through the same 'C.O.P.E' tests (Citizens of planet Earth tests) as my brother had. English, math, pysics, chemistry, biology and forensics. The government promised me that they'd use my results to find me a good job and a house.

"Katherine…" they came to me a week later.

"Please call me Kat." I interrupted.

"…Kat. We've found your results in the tests to be extremely outstanding, especially in sciences: physics, chemistry and forensics. We believe you would make a brilliant scientists – either an inventor or forensic scientist. We are offering you a scholarship into the Surbur City Academy, to get a degree in Physics, Chemistry, Forensics and ICT. It is for people your age, but it is worth so much more than any degree at university or college. Think about it."

I did think.

"Cruger?" I asked one day. "You know your SPD project is all about preventing the Earth being destroyed? Well… I'd like to help. Be part of SPD Earth station. Earth is my home now, and if I go to the academy and get the degree… I can invent things you want like zwords or morphers, scanning programmes and do forensics. Please!"

He agreed.

And the rest, I believe is quite well known.

I earned my degree in 1999, when I was 18 and a half. I moved into the brilliant delta base and stocked my own 3 labs. I became well known and famous for all the software and other things I designed and invented.

By 2000 me and my hired team of scientists (who were mainly older than me in human terms but they didn't mind – I had almost double their qualifications!) were working on the morphers and in 2001 (I turned 17 for one thing) we experienced the human gene alternation, after exposing ourselves to the cellular enhancers.

Later still, Jack, Sky, Bridge, Z and Syd were born, and thus the legacy of the rangers began….

Whoo well I am so glad that that is over! True, I could probably have come up with a bit better ending but, still I was pushed for time and it was the best I could think of.

If you enjoyed that, then look out for my next book in the series. I don't know what it will be called yet (probably the same as this book with a 2 stuck on the end lol) which is going to be set just after the power rangers have defeated Gruummn and its about how Kat gets on now that Isinia is back and she becomes a mother again thanks to… hang on, I'm saying way too much! You're just gonna have to wait aren't you?
