Chapter Twenty Eight

It was done, Tommy was done. The battle with Turbanshell was his last battle as a Power Ranger and he did not regret any of it. He was proud to be a Power Ranger, to save the world, to have friends that would remain for the rest of his life. He was a better person for his experiences.

At the Youth Center, Billy and Trini have their own table. While Kim, Zack, Jason, and Tommy sat at the table next to them.

"Zordon said the Dark Rangers were returned home with absolutely no memories of what happened," Trini informed them.

"That's cool," Jason said.

The said bullies entered the Youth Center and order some drinks from Ernie.

"There they are." the Black Ranger said drawing the other's attention to the group.

"You know what?" Kim said. "Maybe, what they need are some friends."

"Yeah," Jason agreed. "Come on."

They walk over to the bullies and when the bully in red went to pay for the drinks, Jason stepped in to stop him.

"I got this one," he said reaching for his wallet.

"Thanks man," said the other teen in red.

"No problem" Jason said as he paid for the order. "What do you say we start over?"

He held out his hand for the boy to shake.

"Ok, whatever" the former Red Dark Ranger said and took Jason's hand.

The Power Rangers spent most of the after getting to know the former bullies.

Later that day, at the Command Center, Zordon was praising the Rangers.

"Once again, you've done great work, Rangers," he said. "Congratulations."

"So, I take it the Command Center is back to normal?" Trini asked.

" Yes, Trini," Zordon confirmed. "The force field disincarnated as soon as Tommy destroyed Zedd's crystal.

"You saved us," Alpha said to Tommy.

" Yeah, man, you saved us too," Zack said. "Thanks."

"You fought Turbanshell, Goldar, and even went into lord Zedd's chamber without even having your powers," Kimberly listed his amazing accomplishments.

"You're a true hero, Tommy," Billy praised.

"Thanks, guys," Tommy said. "You know there was a moment back there I almost gave up, but then I realized it's not just the costume and the power that gives me strength, but it's what I am inside that really empowers me.

" You'll always be one of us, Tommy," Jason comforted the former Green Ranger.

"Yeah," the Yellow Ranger agreed.

"Man," Tommy sighed. "I'll miss you guys when we're out on school break. But I'll hold you all close to me heart."
