Logan leaned far back in the manager's chair my hand running down long my face as I looked up at the ceiling. After a moment, Logan leaned forward my elbows on the manager's desk chin on my intercrossed fingers as he looked at the newspaper clippings again. Logan's mind raced about the decision he had to make that day and he swirled around in the chair and stood leaning on his forearm looking out the window.

He tapped his forehead against his forearm a couple times thinking what…am…I…suppose…to…do each time he tapped his head.

Unable to make up his mind he grabbed his shirt over is heart and pulled and in a flurry, his cloths disappeared. His Ninja Academy uniform from The Dragon Storm Ninja academy that looked somewhat like Sensei Watanabe's old uniform replaced them. It had its usual black with his patches over his heart and his black sash with colored tips.

He left the office for the obstacle course's starting position and crouched ready for the invisible starter. He bobbed up and down three times then darted forward into the course. He leapt rolled dodged flipped and handspring through it as fast as he could until he came to the end in less than thirty seconds.

After a couple more times through the course, he stopped still breathing normally and sipped some water. Suddenly he stood straight as he remembered something.

What about Tommy if any one deserves to be honored it should be him giving up his powers like he did I don't think that I could do it he thought and his cloths turned back to normal.

He took a couple steps back from the railing then darted forward and flipped over it to land on his feet. He walked outside and checked around then started running and streaked away. When he got to the city, he leapt up still streaking and jumping form the midsection of the buildings.

He soon came to the neighborhood where Tommy lived with is adopted family and stopped behind a tree. He looked around the tree and saw a SUV pull up to the driveway and Tommy, a girl with blonde hair about a few years younger than Tommy and him, and a tall bulky man with retreating black hair and a good-sized mustache climb out. He watched them climb the stairs and into the house and even from this distance, he could see Tommy looked a little distracted.

Logan pulled his head back sighed and leap up on to the nearest house's roof as quietly as possible. He looked back at Tommy's house, darted along the roof, and leapt from roof to roof until he reached it. He crept along to just over Tommy's bedroom and froze when he heard voices.

"Tommy what's on your mind you seemed distracted?"

"It's ok dad it's…nothing"

"Tommy I love you like you were my own and I know something is eating at you…"

"Dad I'm fine really ok"

"Ok but are you sure you don't want to go to the celebration today in the park?"

"Yeah…I'm sure"

Logan shook his head a living example of grinning and baring it; he thought and detached his dragon gem.

He looked around making sure no one was watching him then morphed quietly and pressed the side of the side of his hand two fingers pointed up over his chest and concentrated.

He gritted his teeth as he felt a little weird and he looked own at his hand as it slowly disappeared it to thin air. He looked at the rest of him vanish until the only thing he could see was the tiled roof.

He shook his head as he started feeling a little tired that always feels weird he thought as he changed his voice and phased through the roof.

He landed silently in Tommy's room just behind the door that now was opened and he to suck it into to stop the door from moving. He breathed slowly as Tommy continued to reassure his father then finally closed the door, walked to his desk, and sat down his elbows on his desk his head in his hands. Logan leaned against the wall arms crossed and released the spell and he reappeared like shimmering water.

After a few seconds. "Your father may not know but I think I know what's eating you up my friend," Logan said, and Tommy spun around.

Tommy shook his head and sighed. "I should have known you'd be here especially after that article today," he said, leaning back.

Logan nodded. "Yeah I heard about that and that they want me to be there it doesn't seem right that you won't be there," he said.

Tommy looked at him. "I'm not a ranger any more Red Dragon you earned your place on that platform," he said.

Logan stood straight at this. "So did you more than me," Logan said, then glanced out the window as the Mitchell's car drove away.

Logan sighed. "Looks like it's almost time for the ceremony and you got a beautiful sister," he said.

Tommy nodded and smiled. "Yeah Dana is she hopes to be a doctor one day," he said, standing up.

Logan looked at him. "Tommy you should go you deserve it even if you're not going to be on the platform," he said, and Tommy looked at him long and hard.

Very slowly, he nodded. "Ok but if I go you go," he said, and held out his hand.

Logan and Tommy looked at each other for a while. "Done," Logan, said, and they grasped hands.

Tommy put on a smile. "Now the question is how to get there my father already left with Dana," he said.

Logan smiled behind his helmet. "I think I can take care of that," he said.

He placed a hand on his temple. "Dragon Rider Cycle activate," he muttered then took Tommy's upper arm in hand

"Come on we have to get to the roof it'll met us there," Logan said, then phased them up to the roof.

Logan watched with a smile as Tommy shook himself and looked at him. "Boy that felt weird how do you get used to that?" he asked.

Logan chuckled. "A lot of practice and not eating before you do it," he said, and then they looked up and saw the Dragon Rider Cycle come out of the sky.

It landed right in front of them, they climbed on, and Tommy wrapped his arms around Logan's waist.

Before they took off Logan looked at Tommy. "You ready?" he asked and Tommy nodded.

Logan turned back to the sky and twisted his wrist they launched off the roof and into the sky. When they leveled off Logan looked back at Tommy's face and grinned, as it looked a mix between exhilaration and fear. Logan gave a chuckle they turned toward the park then froze as his morpher started to vibrate and he heard the roar of an earthquake down below.

He let swerved to a stop in midair and pressed the sides and an image that terrified him appeared. It showed Rita's Palace descend to earth and he looked up to see it come down and crash into a building. A few seconds later a red beam shot from the top the two followed it and watched as in a fiery blaze a giant human looking Zord with a giant horn on it forehead, temples, and blades on its forearms.

Cyclopsis Goldar's personal War Zord how could I have been so stupid he thought then the two shot to the ground.

They landed in the middle of the disserted street, Tommy hopped off, and Logan looked at him. "Tommy get to safety then after head for the park it's not far your father will bring you home," he said, then shot back into the sky.

As he leveled off again he watched as Megazord came in a since strolling down the block. He landed on a roof, hopped off, ran to the edge, grasped the wall, and watched the two Zords face off. For a moment, the two just looked at each other.

Then without warning, the two stepped forward and with a lot of force that sent sparks off Megazord's armor. They took a step beyond each other then punched Megazord again and kicked it sending Megazord several steps back. Then punch after punch Megazord retreated further back under the barrage of blows that kept coming and coming.

Then after a blow that sent Megazord back a few steps slots opened on Cyclopsis chest and missiles fired from them. Megazord was knocked to the ground then giant lighting like lasers shot from Cyclopsis shoulders and nailed both buildings and Megazord. After a moment, Megazord staggered to its feet and finally nailed Cyclopsis with a blow and was rewarded with a horrendous blow from a giant laser in Cyclopsis's horn.

A moment later Dragonzord stepped up to the plate and fired its finger missiles and the blow didn't even faze Cyclopsis. Dragonzord then swung around trying to nail Cyclopsis who ducked under it and kicked it hard in the chest. Megazord then took a few steps in but was stopped in its tracks as Cyclopsis turned to face Megazord then was lifted into the air as Cyclopsis lifted its arms. Cyclopsis then swung Megazord around and slammed it into Dragonzord and the two slowly climbed to their feet.

Then Megazord and Dragonzord quickly changed to Dragonzord in Fighting Mode. It a Tyrannosaurus Zord stepped up and Tyrannosaurus Zord struck first with a haze weapon that Cyclopsis sent right back launching onto its back. Dragonzord in Fighting Mode shot forward and sent its glowing horn at Cyclopsis and who caught it and like with Tyrannosaurus Zord sent it right back at it and sent Dragonzord in Fighting Mode hurtling off its feet after a missile barrage.

Then Cyclopsis walked right up to the down Dragonzord in Fighting Mode and began stomping it. Then Cyclopsis kicked it away then, as Cyclopsis was about to finish the Ranger it was suddenly bombarded by laser fire. Logan looked and whooped when he saw Titanus come rolling up.

The Rangers quickly formed Ultrazord and bombarded Cyclopsis with every weapon they had. Cyclopsis exploded and its head flew off in another direction.

Logan sighed as he leaned against the wall maybe they didn't need me he thought.

His head shot up when red lighting surrounded Titanus after it ejected Megadragonzord. Titanus began to sink into the ground and Megadragonzord grabbed it to try to pull it back up but was zapped by the red lighting. In a matter of seconds, Titanus disappeared underground.

Logan stared dumbstruck or maybe they do he thought.

He saw a small flash of light to the left and saw Rita appear on a building rooftop wand in hand.

How can she go out in public in a hat like that? He thought as he ran forward and leapt up high into the air.

He cleared the space between the buildings and she started to chant when he reached her and nailed her wand out of her hand with a flying sidekick. After landing with her behind him, he spun around fist at the ready for the strike. He faced her over makeup face and his fist froze less than a millimeter from her face.

She stared at him as the electric current shot through his arm, he staggered back, and he looked at her as he flexed his hand. "You are so lucky," he muttered then slammed his elbow into the putty behind him.

He then wrapped his arm around the arm of a second putting it into a lock at his side. Then he kicked it first in the gut then in the head, repeated the blows for more time before rolling forward with the putty, and kicked it again in the gut. He rolled back on his feet and turned to look back a Rita as he heard chanting in the dark language of power.

The sky grew darker, he turned to look at the fallen head of Cyclopsis still lying in the ground, and it looked like it got an upgrade. Lighting struck it in a flash of light reformed and above it in what looked like a falling red star Lokar appeared in the sky.

We're in trouble Logan thought.

He threw a putty over his shoulder, spun around, and was nailed by a shot from Rita's wand. He was launched off his feet and through the wall of the neighboring building and came to a skidding stop almost all the way through the building. He clutched his chest as he gritted his teeth in pain and he looked out the cracked window that stopped him through the hole in his visor.

"Ok that really hurt," he muttered as he pulled himself to his feet and winced.

He looked out the window at Lokar and Cyclopsis as the rangers retreated from Megadragonzord after it was thrown to the grown from a double attack. He breathed in gasps as he almost staggered as he clutched his chest and the hole in us helmet began to seal itself.

He checked he was alone and crossed his arms. "Power down," he muttered and he demorphed and collapsed down to one knee.

He pulled his shirt to see the broken ribs. "I need a vacation," he muttered then muttered the spell and watched as the healing spell sapped his strength.

When it was finished, he got wobbly to his feet and took a step forward before falling flat on his back passed out. He jerked awake at the sound of an explosion and twisted around onto his chest to look out the window. He watched in shock as Cyclopsis severed Megazord's arm, Dragonzord's tail and both were brought down in a shower of sparks

As the Megazord and Dragonzord began to disappear piece-by-piece until the last bit of them is gone. "DRAGON RIDERS UNITE! HA!"

He took a step back then burst through the glass and landed to the pavement below. He landed hard on one knee and hand breaking the pavement under him and he looked up and darted down the street. He summoned the Dragon Rider Cycle and flipped onto it one thought secured in his mind.

I have to find them

He tore to each of their houses eliminating them one at a time until he finally came to Billy's. He tore down the street and Billy's house came in sight and he saw Golder and a few putties outside the garage. He hopped his feet onto the seat of his bike hands still grasping the accelerator then as he turned in, he leapt off.

The putties wielded around the face the bike just before it hit them full on and the bike hit the wall in a shower of sparks. Goldar turned to face him but was nailed by a flying sidekick to his chest. Logan back flipped off the blow and landing on his bent knees.

Goldar quickly climbed to his feet staring at him. "You! Impossible Empress Rita destroyed you!" he shouted.

Logan grinned back. "She gave it her best shot but I'm a little disappointed in you Goldar I thought you were a warrior with honor," he said.

"I AM A WARRIOR WITH HONOR!" Goldar roared back.

"Then prove it Goldar fight a morphed Ranger one on one not gang up on them when they're powerless," Logan said, drawing his Draco Blaster.

Goldar watched as he held it up then tossed it aside. "No blasters no magic no putties just you the sword and me," Logan said, then summoned the Dragon Sword and got down on his knees.

Goldar looked at him for a second then did the same and they laid their swords at their sides and bowed to each other. Then as then as they sat up straight Goldar grasped his sword and slashed at Logan's head. Logan rolled back onto his feet away from it grasping the Dragon Sword in a fighting stance. Goldar rolled after him and slashed down at his head which Logan parried and swung a big circle then slashed Goldar twice across the chest.

He and Goldar clutched his chest as they circled each other Logan's mind on the fight.

"Billy how much longer?" Jason demanded as he watched the two.

"One minute and thirty seconds"

Goldar glared at Logan. "I will destroy you for that you little incest," he growled.

"Your all talk no show Goldar," Logan muttered back.

Goldar roared at this and attacked with slash to the chest, which Logan parried and struck at Goldar's head, which was parried. For a full minute, their swords were blurred strikes and parries as they both tried to strike each other and not showing it when they did. Then Goldar and Logan nailed each other across the chest and they both fell to the ground hard, Logan rolled back onto his feet in a low crouched position the other rangers behind him.

Goldar rolled on to his feet and glare at him as they clutched the striked area with one hand breathing hard.

"Hey guys I did it there functional," Billy said, and Logan sighed in relief

"IMPOSSIBLE," Goldar roared and charged them.

Stepping forward Logan slashed Goldar across the chest and up across the face as he stood straight up.

Goldar stumbled and Logan turned to face the others. "GET OUT OF HERE NOW," he yelled and they teleported away.

Goldar glared at where they had been and he bent his head back. "NOOOOOOOOO!" he roared and in a burst of flame vanished.

For a second Logan stood there then his sword slipped from his fingers and he fell to one knee grasping hi9s side from one of the points Goldar had struck.

He may mostly be talk but when he wants to, he can bring it he thought as he picked up his sword and blaster and pulled himself onto his bike.

He tore back down the road and when he reached, the city converted The Dragon Rider Cycle to flight mode and tore into the sky.

He skidded to a stop in midair when Lokar and Cyclopsis came into view and they turned to look at him here we go again he thought and turned the bike to face them.

"WAIT RED DRAGON"

Logan's head whipped around and he smiled at the sight of the Zords coming. "THEY'RE OURS," Jason's voice said.

"MY PLEASURE!" Logan yelled back at them and landed on the nearest rooftop.

He leapt off, darted to the side, and watched as all the Zords fired their weapons on Cyclopsis and nailed each shot with a shower of sparks. Then after Tyrannosaurus Zord faced off against Cyclopsis, they quickly formed Megazord and called the Power Sword. After Megazord was nailed a couple of times Logan herd the Dragon Dagger and Cyclopsis stumbled back as Dragonzord's missiles nailed him. The two Zords faced off against Cyclopsis who swung both arm blades at Megazord who parried the blow and Dragon Zord whipped its tail around cutting the blades from Cyclopsis's arms.

Then as he watch them begin to watch them from Dragonzord in Fighting Mode he streaked jumped to the head of Megazord and opened the hatch at the top of the head. He dropped down to a dark room with wires all around him and a shining blue light in front of him. He pressed it and the other Rangers whipped around to look at him as he stepped inside.

"Mid if I hitch a ride I can't let you guys have all the fun," he said.

After a second, Jason nodded. "Take that seat," and he indicated the chair in the way back.

Logan moved toward then looked at Kimberley who was looking from it to him this is Tommy's position he thought.

"I'll stand," he said, and stood in front of the controls and gripped them.

Man, I missed this Logan thought as they struck Cyclopsis in the chest a couple of times with their staff.

Then they were nailed by Lokar's hair laser and were knocked back into a building and Logan off is feet into the back wall.

Now that I don't miss he thought, as he climbed to his feet and returned to his post rubbing the back of his head.

"TITANUS NOW!" Jason yelled.

Dragonzord in Fighting Mode was dismantled as Titanus came into view, Megazord was reformed, and they leapt up forming Megadragonzord.

"ULTRAZORD POWER UP," they yelled as one.

They landed on Titanus and Logan's station lit up like a Christmas tree. "You guys have had it!" Jason yelled.

"LOCK ON AND FIRE"

"GOLDAR SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FREIND," Logan yelled as they took aim at Cyclopsis and fired all weapons.

They nailed all sots and in a flash of red light and blue lighting Cyclopsis exploded. They started cheering like crazy people and grasped and high fived each other's hand. They then leapt from Ultrazord to the rooftop that had Logan's bike and they watch as Rita's Palace rocketed back into space.

Logan and Jason grasped hands at the sight of it then Logan waved it good-bye. "Come again soon we could use the exercise!" he yelled up to it and the others laughed.

When it was out of sight, Logan sighed and climbed onto his bike. "Wait".

Logan looked up as Jason walked up to him. "Thanks for everything today and for...," he said, then hesitated.

Logan nodded understanding. "it was just that one time Jason I could never truly take Tommy's place Ranger or not he's a part of your Team," he said, ten started the engine and wheeled it around.

"You coming to the ceremony?"

Logan looked slightly over his shoulder. "We'll see Trini," he said, then rocketed into the sky.

A few seconds later he was hovering over the Park as the crowd began to reappear.

Looks like half the city turned up he thought

Then he looked at the stage and stared at Bulk and Skull on stage. "What ha, ha are they Ha, Ha, Wearing? Is that Ha, Ha underwear he as Ha, Ha over is pants," he said, in a fit of laughter as the two kissed the stage and was shepherded off by the Mayor.

Then he spotted the Rangers teleport in and Ernie point them out to the group who all turned to face them and cheer. He watched them walk through the crowd and the group cleared a path for them. He quickly spotted Tommy in the crowd and they Rangers one by one grasped his hand.

Now or never Logan thought as he took a deep breath and cracked is neck.

He thrust s hand to the side calling on his power and flicked his wrist

The Portal opened in front of him and down below in that crowed and the Rangers below turned to face. He climbed onto his feet and stepped through to the portal on the ground. He looked at the crowd around him as they and the other Rangers stared then the crowd started cheering again and he waved around grinning like an idiot behind his helmet.

This I could get used to he thought as he walked forward and some screaming girls from school charged him Ashley in the front.

He was suddenly bombarded with questions and statements that came so fast he only got some.

"CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH"

"I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN"

"DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFREIND?"

"DO YOU WANT ONE?"

"CAN YOU SAVE ME SOME TIME?"

When he finally got free his helmet a little fogged and lipstick marks covering parts of it he grasped Tommy's hand.

"Your Fan Club... ha, ha and you came"

Logan chuckled. "I always keep a promise and did not want that no matter how enjoyable it was," he muttered back under the cover of the screaming girls.

He walked to the other Rangers who grasped his hand at they walked waving up to the stage which he finally noticed had a giant poster of Jason's team with the Power Blaster and him with the Dragon Sword and The Dragon Rider Cycle behind him behind it.

They lined up in order of their posters and the Mayor took her place. "As the Mayor of Angel Grove City it is with great pride that I stand before you here today in the presence of true heroes," she said, and waved at Logan and the other Rangers and the crowd cheered again.

"They have risked their lives countless times for the safety of our city and its people. They are true examples of good triumphing over evil and now it is time to thank them. They are The Power Rangers and The Red Dragon Ranger!," she called into the mike and the crowd cheer even louder as they stepped forward waving some more and Logan giving the thumbs up and looking at Tommy every now and then as the newspaper cameras flashed and the news cameras rolled.

Then the group except Logan formed a circle and placed their hands in the middle and Logan hesitated.

Jason looked up at him and nodded. So very slowly, Logan stepped between Jason and Kimberly putting his hand on top.

They all looked at each other. "On three?" Jason asked

"On three," they said, together.

"ONE...! TWO...! THREE...! POWER RANGERS," they yelled as one and leapt up into the air throwing their hands up.
