Months passed and Christmas was in full swing again with everybody back in the holiday spirit, the year slowly drawing to a close and the world prepared to welcome the new year coming soon. Even the citizens of Pine Ridge were getting into the spirit of the season as stockings were hung all over and Christmas decorations from strings of garland of all colors, ornaments of different colors, shapes, materials, and sizes being hung on trees, trees themselves being prepped up and picked out across every building and street corner, everybody was having the time of their lives.

With Javi, the Black Dino Fury Ranger, he was busily performing his version of the classic holiday song, "Jingle Bells", to any passersby and shoppers on a keyboard at a shopping mall while the children happily lined up to have their pictures taken with Santa Claus and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. As he sang and jammed away, however, he didn't notice a strangely dressed man coming over and placing a small gold star outlined in purple in his keyboard case amongst the money he was earning before the man quickly left without a word.

Javi - Jingle, Jingle bells, jingle bells~

jingle all the way~

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh~!

"Thank you! Merry Christmas," he smiled as the crowd that gathered clapped for him before his stepsister, Izzy, came jogging in and saw him wrapping up his musical number.

"Hey, bro! Anyone give you coal while you're playing?" she joked as came over to him.

"You mean like you did when I was eleven, Sis? Nope, it's been great, actually," Javi grinned back.

Izzy smirked before she looked at his keyboard and noticed that one of the keys was jammed before she noted, "Hey, I thought you finally found a replacement for this key."

Javi sighed sadly; when he discovered the broken key, he looked all over to find a new one so he could develop a perfect tune for his keyboard but always came up empty no matter how hard he tried.

"Nah... I've looked all over for one but the music shops I searched don't make them anymore," he replied.

"That's a shame... Anyway, you got your Secret Santa present ready, right?" Izzy emphasized.

Javi gulped as he sheepishly admitted, "I, uh...… Well, h-haven't finished my, gift shopping yet, or like, uh, started...…"

Unamused by her stepbrother's forgetfulness over the matter, Izzy hits her brother in the right shoulder as she scolded him, "How could you forget? Amelia's group calendar has reminded us twice a week for the last three months. We're exchanging them at the base in an hour! Even Sarah and her friends were better with their Secret Santas when they told us about their last Christmas party with the Beast Morphers Rangers AND when they took their Pokémon to the North Pole with You-Know-Who! And, that was before she got herself busy with that new Ranger Academy she spearheaded amongst her other duties! Also, I'm sure you haven't forgotten that she told us she prepared a whole army of Secret Santas for more than 200 members of her giant family AND us, right?"

"Sure, I know! I'm gonna go get a gift right now," Javi quipped.

"Mm-hmm," Izzy smirked as she shook her head at him before she left to continue her run, unknowingly passing Slyther and Mucus who were hiding and eavesdropping on them the whole time.

"Hear that, Slyther? The Rangers AND the Sun Princess and her family will be exchanging presents in their base. Our perfectly peachy plan is coming together!" Mucus chuckled, grinning slyly.

"Those rangers will pay for defeating Void King and humiliating Void Queen! And, it'll be twice the fun for us all when the princess and her family come over to play!" Slyther agreed, sharing Mucus' devious grin.

Soon, it was time for Santa (the real deal) to leave as he hoisted his sack over his right shoulder and prepared to make his run while Javi prepared to look for a gift he could give to one of his friends as his Secret Santa at the Dino Fury base.

"Merry Christmas, Santa," Javi wished happily to the big man as he prepared to do his last-minute Christmas shopping.

"And you, Javi, and thanks for that wonderful music you played," the jolly man thanked.

"Sure... Hey, can I ask you something? I need to buy a gift for a friend but I don't know exactly what I'm going to get."

"Oh, I understand. Finding the perfect present is a tricky thing. Why, I've been doing it forever and I'm still thinking."

"Well, what was the best gift you ever got?"

"One year, Mrs. Claus gave me these wonderful gloves; they were the perfect gift for keeping my hands warm through my long sleigh runs in the night. Brrr!"

"Gloves?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Hmm...… You know, that's a great gift! And, the stores are still open so I got my work cut out."

"Oh, I may be able to save you the trouble, young man," smiled Santa as he pulled out what looked like an ordinary sketchbook except it had a little twist of Christmas magic to it.

"My elves gave me this magical sketchbook. Now, I don't love technology and I can never make Bluetooth work, ever. But, they say this is easy; I can draw the idea of a gift, sprinkle a little magic, and it becomes the real thing. Seems pretty powerful, huh? Would you like me to make some gloves?"

intrigued, Javi thought for a moment until he made his decision, "Wow, so it kinda works like Sarah's Animus Magic - being able to make anything come to life and become real...… Now, that is an amazing sketchbook but, no thanks. I don't need help, I know exactly what I'm going to get. I've earned enough to buy the rest."

Santa smiled knowingly but kept his hopes for Javi high as he beamed, "Then, good luck, Javi."

Javi smiled back as he left to get the gifts he needed for his friends, "Bye, Santa!"

"Bye!"

However, as they did during his conversation with Izzy, Mucus and Slyther eavesdropped on Javi's entire chat with Santa from start to finish and yet another naughty idea flew into their heads regarding his magic sketchbook.

"Wow! A book that can create anything!"

"Now, THAT is what I want for Christmas! Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!"

Over at the Dino Fury base below Dinohenge, Izzy, Zayto, Aiyon, Amelia, and Ollie along with Willow and Flint were finishing setting up Christmas decorations including the tree. Speaking of the tree, Zayto was putting up one of the ornaments with the blue Dino Fury Ranger carefully directing him as they went along. As the Dino Fury Rangers were going to host a Christmas party this time, Sarah, Race, and Tsukumaro had enchanted the base to be larger than it originally was so it could fit everybody coming in.

"A little to the left, dude," he informed as Zayto carefully moved his chosen decoration to the left at a spot where it could go on the tree perfectly just as Javi finally returned.

"There you are!" Zayto grinned at him just as Race, the little princess, her family (Pokémon, Mythicals, dragons, pets, and blood and adoptive), and their friends and their own families (including Ash and Delia, all of whom had reunited for the holidays) arrived just in time (the Mythicals and the larger Pokémon being given copies of the Gift of the Mystic so they can all fit inside the base as Flint could).

"ALOLA SURPRISE!" Sarah, Ash, Kiawe, Lana, Mallow, Lillie, Sophocles, Race, and Asha screamed excitedly, surprising the Dino Fury Rangers.

"Merry Christmas/Merry Christmas/Merry Christmas!" everybody else in their party cheered.

"Sarah, Race!"

"Ash, Mallow, Kiawe!"

"Lana, Sophocles, Lillie!"

"Hey, guys!"

"You made it! Finally!"

"What's up?" the Dino Fury team laughed as they shared hugs, handshakes, and high-fives, greeting their old friends warmly.

"Oh! How have you been, you guys?"

"We missed you!" Mallow and Lana asked heartily as Sally happily ran/stumbled over to Cindy and Penny as they greeted each other and Willow cuddled against Asha with Flint greeting the group warmly, having made himself at home with the Dino Fury team and Solon in Pine Ridge.

"Great! Congratulations on graduating months ago, by the way!"

"You were going places with what you're doing now that you're out of school!" Amelia and Ollie grinned back in reply.

"Glad you all could come to our party!" Izzy concurred, grinning from ear to ear as she wrapped her right arm around Ash in a side hug.

"Of course, we came! I mean, who else would we want to spend Christmas with this year?" laughed Ash.

"You guys and Solon, obviously!" added Pikachu, joining in Ash's laughter.

"Yeah!"

"Our very first Christmas!"

"Together!" Tot, Nano, and Mini beamed happily.

"This is gonna be great, dudes! Christmas with you guys, Power Rangers of all people? And, with a cybernetic dinosaur? Sign us up!" Mudbud complimented eagerly.

"Mm-hmm!" agreed the other Buddies wholeheartedly.

"That's for sure, I just adore holiday shopping at its finest!" squealed Rosebud excitedly as she wore a small Christmas hat of her own.

"Me, too!"

"Me, three!"

"Me, Four!" Zap, Splattertail, and Googles cheered as they scampered around the base gleefully with Petunia joining them while she happily cooed, laughed, clapped her hands, and babbled.

"Dinosaurs and Christmas, who can go wrong with a wild combo like that?"

"Exciting, too!" Liberty and Jupiter added, sharing everybody's holiday sentiments.

"Yeah," Gleam grinned softly.

"Well, apart from us saving the world as usual and keeping Void King, Void Queen, and their forces along with the Sporix on their toes, what about you guys? How are you all getting on since graduating? Especially given our last Mighty Adventure together in Adventure City, huh?" Zayto puzzled with a grin, causing Sarah and her party to snigger as they recalled the events of PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie (i.e. PAW Patrol 2: Little Pups Can Do Big Things).

"Capital on all fronts, Mr. Zayto. We and the kids are all doing well, especially Sir Ash with his new role as a research assistant with a new friend of his," Tsukumaro informed gayly.

"New friend?" Aiyon asked, intrigued.

"His' name's Goh and he's staying with his parents for Christmas while Mom, Pikachu, and I decided to come here instead. But, we didn't tell him about you being Power Rangers so you don't have to worry. Besides, this is gonna be a blast!" Ash replied.

"A really big blast with a Power Ranger holiday twist!" Pikachu concurred.

"Ash told us all along with Prof. Kukui and Burnet that he and Goh are research buddies at the Cerise Laboratory in Vermillion City and they're trying to discover all kinds of Pokémon and amazing things that revolve around them that were undiscovered before," Lillie commented.

"Which also includes looking more into the Dynamax and Gigantamax Phenomenon in the Galar Region with Professor Magnolia and Sonia's help!" grinned Sophocles matter-of-factly.

"That's great!"

"Congratulations, Ash!" Javi and Izzy complimented Ash who chuckled as he bashfully scratched his head.

"And, what's this about you starting a Ranger Academy in Dragonstone and preparing to head for the Paldea Region to study again, Sarah?" grinned Ollie as he looked at Sarah (since news about her Ranger Academy had spread like wildfire the moment it was announced and opened to the public).

"Well, you're right, Ollie. Even I'm surprised by how big the academy has gotten in addition to the other businesses I took over from Giovanni and I wanted to find out more about Link, Zelda, and this little guy with us ever since it showed up."

The little princess showed the turtle-like Pokémon in her arms as it looked around the base and cooed excitedly, extremely curious as to where it was with its new family and what everything in the Dino Fury team's base does.

"AND, she's put together a Christmas party you guys and Solon will be hosting and she's got a show in store for us later," Race added.

"A Christmas party and a show? Sweet!" grinned Aiyon, excited about him, Zayto, and Solon celebrating their first-ever Christmas party on Earth.

"You guys really went to town with that tree you've put up," Asha chuckled, looking at the Dino Fury team's Christmas tree.

"Oh, it's wonderful!"

"You young'uns did a remarkable job decorating the place as well," Delilah and Doug added, looking around the base and seeing the decorations that had been put up in addition to the tree.

"Thanks but Willow and Flint were a big help along with Solon," Zayto chuckled modestly.

"And, believe it or not, I got just the right topper for it," Javi grinned as he brought the star that was placed in his keyboard case.

"Ooh, whatcha got, Javi?" Aiyon beamed as he saw the star while Javi placed it on top of the tree.

"Aww, nice touch," Izzy grinned.

"Now, it's complete," the Black Dino Fury Ranger commented proudly before he turned to Sarah. "So, Sarah, it's almost time. Are you and your folks ready to celebrate your first Christmas together?"

"Are we ever!" Sarah grinned, beaming from ear to ear as it would be the first Christmas she'd be spending with her blood parents in over 500 years.

"Let's not forget this being your and Race's first Christmas married!"

"Our wedding bells are still ringing for you!" Ollie and Amelia cooed cheekily, recalling when they and the others were told about Sarah and her family and friends' adventure in the Wish story from the Great Big Book of Disney and finding out that Sarah and Race were officially married as a result.

"Aww!" grinned Zayto, Aiyon, Javi, and Izzy cutely at the pair.

"Very funny, you guys," Sarah snarked playfully, knowing that the Dino Fury Rangers were only goofing around and that it was all in good fun between them.

"Speaking of Solon, what happened to our cyber dino of the hour, anyway?" Liberty piped up, looking around and seeing no sign of Aiyon and Zayto's oldest friend.

"Yeah, where's Solon? She's gonna flip when she sees that we're all here!" Braixen nodded as she excitedly twirled her stick (while taking great care not to set it alight and burn the base).

"She's over in another part of the base, didn't want to spoil anything for her if she gets the drop on us," Izzy replied, still grinning.

"Hey, Lillie, we heard that you went on a journey through Kanto after graduating. How's that coming along for you and Snowy?" Javi asked the Ice Type graduate.

"It's wonderful and it's been a lot of fun since I crossed paths with Ash and Goh a few times through! Even Snowy was enjoying herself," Lillie smiled brightly as the baby turtle Pokémon in Sarah's arms happily cooed and reached out, wanting to explore more of the base and touch anything or meet the Dino Fury Rangers as it finally noticed them.

Even Race's own baby turtle Pokémon (which had awakened during the gang and the PAW Patrol's Mighty Pups misadventure in Adventure City in their final confrontation with their enemies) resting in his arms mimicked its twin's actions, sharing its cat's curiosity as Zayto then asked, "Did you find anything about those little guys, by the way?"

"Nope, not yet," Race replied as he gently rubbed his baby turtle Pokémon's head.

"Other than the fact that they're both incredibly curious and inquisitive for Pokémon of their age, wandering around back home and the dome, wanting to see everything at once while our backs are turned, nothing else, really," Sarah admitted as the baby turtle Pokémon cooed and tilted their heads innocently before they nuzzled their human parents.

"And, in case you're wondering about our Secret Santas, look what we got!" Ash said as he and the gang placed their respective gifts around the tree.

"Sweet! The more the merrier!" Aiyon chirped eagerly.

"Oh! Of course, I almost forgot! Sarah, guys, you're not gonna believe this," Amelia realized as she brought over two mailbags and dumped whatever was inside them to reveal two giant clusters of Christmas cards that came from fans of the Dino Fury and Ultra Rescue teams. "Check out all of these wonderful Christmas cards Buzzblast collected from Power Rangers fans!"

"Oh, wow!"

"All of these cards?!"

"For us?"

"Saying 'Thanks!' and 'Merry Christmas!' to all of us?"

"Look at them!"

"Awesome!" the gang grinned excitedly as they, Aiyon, Izzy, and Zayto checked out a few of the cards from fans thanking them for saving the world from the Sporix, Team Eclipse, Lothor, and Evox and wishing them and everyone else they fought with a merry Christmas and happy holidays.

"What a hodge-pocket!" Race whistled, impressed by the number of Christmas cards sent to both Power Ranger teams.

"Look at them all!"

"That's so sweet!"

"Amazing!"

"Fascinating," Salamence, Star, Kit, and Houndoom remarked in awe.

"So much love for our teams!"

"Thanks for bringing them, Amelia," smiled Zayto thankfully.

"And, it'll be even better once we begin our party and have our Christmas feast!" Mallow put in excitedly as everybody cheered over the thought of food at their Christmas party.

"Hey, where is Solon? Is she ready to come in, yet? I'm ready to open up these presents!" Aiyon commented, ready to see what was inside everybody's Secret Santas and wondering if the motherly Solonosaurus was ready to join them.

"Oh, wait! Did you sort your gift out?" Izzy quizzed, looking at her stepbrother.

"Oh, yeah! Sure did," Javi beamed, going over to a small bag he picked up containing the gift he intended for Solon and pulling out a pair of blue human globs with beige fur on the bottom. "Solon is going to love these."

"Uh, Javi, I don't think those gloves are her shape and size," Kiawe replied skeptically.

"Yeah, those are human gloves. Solon has claws," Ollie agreed, sharing Kiawe's skepticism and shocking Javi as he realized his mistake too late.

"Aww, man! I knew I'd blow it! I've always been bad at picking gifts, Santa's the real expert; I should've accepted his help when I had the chance."

"You can't blame yourself; you gave it your best shot. Whatever gift you have in mind for Solon, I'm sure she's going to love it," Sarah reassured.

"Yeah. I mean, if Santa had the same problem as you did, he'd get your plight," Race nodded sympathetically.

"I understand, too. After all, like us, he's only human and he also makes mistakes he can learn from every once in a while," Lillie put in with a knowing smile.

"Who's Santa?" puzzled Aiyon given that he, Zayto, and Solon had no idea about Santa Claus and never met him once.

"Santa Claus, the guy responsible for bringing toys to everyone who had been good every year," informed Race.

"Let me guess, you guys either never celebrated Christmas before coming here or you did and you and the Rafkonians had your version of Santa Claus back at Rafkon?" Lana inquired.

Aiyon was surprised as he pulled out a power sander and told everyone (much to their amusement as they chuckled at him), "Santa is a person?! I had no idea! Oh, man, I thought you said we had to get secret sander gifts, so... I got a power sander! Now, I know why the human at the hardware store was so confused."

Despite that, Javi was still feeling down about not having a Secret Santa for Solon as he continued to lament, "Well, I'm from Earth so I don't have your excuse. What do I do? Solon did so much for all of us, she deserves a nice gift from me, from all of us...…."

"Don't worry, bro. We'll cover for you and find a nice gift for you to give to Solon," Amelia reassured.

"Stay here and stall her 'til we get back," Izzy added.

"If you want, I can have Tsukumaro, Gleam, Jupiter, Mint, and my parents stay and help you, Flint, and Willow keep her busy. I'm sure she's got a lot of questions for them and she'll want to learn more about magic from the Wizarding World," Sarah stated with a grin.

"Yes, the princess and I talked things over with the owner of Olivander's at Diagon Alley weeks before coming here and helped me set up this Secret Santa gift of mine for her. We'll make sure she doesn't know about your present for her missing," Tsukumaro agreed, showing Javi his Secret Santa for Solon.

"You guys are the best," Javi beamed gratefully before Zayto and the others teleported out of the base to take care of his Secret Santa predicament.

"Where'd everybody go? I thought we were gonna open presents. You guys are too old for playing Hide-And-Seek now, aren't you?" Solon grinned as she came into the main room, excited for everybody's Secret Santas.

"Good day, Ms. Solon, and a merry Christmas to you," Tsukumaro greeted.

"Hi, Ms. Solon!" Gleam, Mint, and Jupiter chirped happily as they rushed over to hug her.

"Oh, ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! Merry Christmas, kids!" the Solonsaurus laughed before she came over to Doug, Delilah, and their old advisor and bowed. "Your Majesties, Tsukumaro."

"Ms. Solon, lovely to see you again."

"Yes, it's wonderful to see you after so long, especially for Christmas. As for our daughter and the rest of our entourage, they're out in town with the rest of your friends," Sarah's blood parents replied, giving her a handshake and a loving hug.

"We're here to keep you company while they're gone!" added Ginger.

"Yeah, uh... We ran out of gingerbread. So, the others went to get more, at the, uh...… The gingerbread store," Javi lied.

Solon was puzzled, "Huh?"

"The kids and our family will be back soon. For now, let's have a chat and a bit of fun until then. I got a Secret Santa ready for you," Tsukumaro continued, covering for Javi's lie as he placed his present for the dinosaur around the tree with the other Secret Santas.

"Really? Oh, I can hardly wait! Especially regarding your magic, I've always wondered what it was like to use it when you first showed me a few spells at Aulani."

"So, Ms. Solon, if it's alright with you, would you like to join us in partaking in these Christmas carols?" Doug inquired.

"Oh, if only I was musical like Javi. Knowing how to play all of those different songs is impressive and with a missing key, too. But, please, no Christmas carols; it makes me sad that I can't sing along with you and the others."

"Really? Whatever do you mean?" Delilah questioned, curious.

"Well, I get too nervous to remember the words. Something that you humans call 'Stage Fright'; It makes it tough for me to feel the Christmas spirit and I don't know how I'd do in front of a crowd since Sarah's got a show ready later today," the Solonsaurus admitted before she noticed the pile of Christmas cards in front of her. "Oh, what's all this stuff?"

"Oh, these? These are called Christmas cards," Tsukumaro informed as he picked up a card addressed to Zayto and Aiyon.

"Our daughter's team and yours have made quite a name for themselves and many fans from around the world have sent these to thank us for everything we did and to wish us a merry Christmas as well," Doug added as he read a card for Kiawe.

"Let's see what we got," Javi nodded as he picked up a card that had the words "Power Rangers" on it with some of the letters spelled backward.

"Oh, how lovely! Cards like these are much more personal than emails," Solon beamed as she began to help look through the cards just as Tsukumaro noticed the card Javi was preparing to open and noticed something off about it.

"Wait! Young Javi, put that card-!" Tsukumaro cried in alarm only to be too late as the Black Dino Fury Ranger opened the card, causing it to send out a strange wave of power that caused some of the electronics in the base to spark wildly.

"Bloody hell! What the devil's happening?!" Doug shouted, startled as Ginger, Mint, and Gleam hid behind Solon in fright and Javi dropped the card he was holding.

"What just happened?!" gasped Solon as everybody looked around.

"Hey, look!" Delilah gawked as she pointed at a hologram of Mucus that appeared from the open card Javi discarded.

"*I wanna sound mean and tough! Okay, I'm ready. Is it recording? Oh, it is! Ooh!*" giggled the adolescent Sporix with a mischievous grin, surprising the royals and shocking Javi and Solon.

"Huh?!"

"That's Mucus! She's back but how ?!" they balked, aghast.

"Ahem! Ho-ho-ho, Rangers~! I hope you're feeling spiffy hopping by at your place because Slyther and I are hoping you got our special gift. It's so big and bad that it'll light up your base like a Christmas tree, KABOOM! But, you can't have a gift without a card so we sent this to disable your comms and teleporters! There's no escaping now and unless your magical friends are present with you (which I hope they're not), merry explosives, Rangers! He-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he! And...cut."

The card's hologram of Mucus then flashed to show a countdown, showing that Javi, Solon, and their current party only have ten minutes until they and the base blow up.

"It's a countdown! We only have ten minutes to stop the explosion before the whole base blows up sky-high!" Javi balked in horror.

"Slyther and Mucus?"

"Aren't those two the dastardly ruffians you two and the rest of your team cross paths with on multiple occasions who are part of Void King and Void Queen's assault force as you so told our baby and her friends?" puzzled Doug and Delilah.

"The very same, Your Highnesses. But, nobody's seen either of them since we first destroyed Void Knight until he returned along with Void Queen and everything else in between on our end," Solon answered worriedly.

"Yeah, since everything had been quiet since Sarah and her friends graduated and there was no Sporix activity for a while, I thought they were gone!" Javi agreed.

"The computer! Maybe it can tell us just how badly we've been hit," Solon suggested as she went to the base's supercomputer only to get nothing as she tried to work it, proving Mucus' previous declaration right. "All of our comms and teleporting systems are down. We're stuck in here with a ticking time bomb! We need to find it and fast but where do we start?"

"Mucus mentioned that she and Slyther sent us a gift...… What if they somehow smuggled in a Secret Santa of their own?" Delilah suggested, greatly concerned as they went to the present pile.

"Y-You mean, one of these gifts here could be a bomb?" Gleam stuttered nervously.

"It's the only way they could've slipped the bomb in there without us knowing," Solon replied, seeing the logic behind their only clue. "So, which one of these gifts here is rigged to blow?"

"Let's check Izzy's first and see if it's the bomb we're looking for," replied Mint as Tsukumaro looked through the gifts and found a blue box that had black and white diamonds on it.

"Forgive us, Ms. Izzy. Well then, let's see," the old advisor prayed, carefully opening the box to reveal an electronics kit.

"An electronics kit? I thought you said your sister was an athlete, not a mechanic! So, why get this doohickey for her?" Jupiter questioned Javi, stumped over the unorthodox gift for the Green Dino Fury Ranger as she raised an eyebrow at him.

Javi smiled as he reminisced on the time when Izzy was struggling through electronics class in school and how Ollie helped her learn more about them after she lied about her troubles with mechanics, "When Izzy was struggling with her electronics class, it was Ollie who helped her out of her rut. His advice on electronics is now invaluable to her..."

(Flashback)

"Human circuits have electricity flowing through wires at different voltages. This machine works the same way; it's just the parts of it that look different," Ollie demonstrated as he took off one wire and the machine he and Izzy were working on turned off.

"Everything turned off," Izzy noted, amazed.

"Right. Now, see this bit here?"

"She ended up acing her test as a result."

"That's amazing!"

"Don't mention it."

(End Flashback)

"Only Ollie could've gotten this for Izzy. It's totally not the explosive," he concluded as Tsukumaro used his magic to repackage Ollie's Secret Santa for Izzy.

"Let's try the gift for Ollie next," Solon suggested, pointing everybody towards one of the larger boxes which had ghost-themed wrapping paper on it.

"Nice wrapping paper," Gleam giggled.

"Aren't we weeks past Halloween by now?" Jupiter questioned, skeptical about the ghost-themed wrapping paper.

"Yeah, but you gotta admit, it's pretty cute," Javi chuckled.

"Hopefully, it doesn't come with a cute explosion since the wrapping paper's the least of our worries," Solon remarked as she opened the box and revealed the Secret Santa to be a white rain poncho that had black eyes on the hood.

"Oh, my... What an interesting jacket, is that what they call a rain poncho?"

"But, why in Godric Gryffindor's name would anybody want to give that thing to Ollie considering how out of place it is during this time? It's made to look like a children's ghost," puzzled Delilah and Tsukumaro in confusion as the old advisor examined the poncho.

Solon chuckled in amusement as she told everyone, "Amelia once told me how she and Ollie met each other last year. She thought she saw a ghost on her way to Dinohedge and tried to catch it but it was Ollie wearing this poncho!"

(Flashback)

Several moments before Ollie and Amelia first met Solon and Zayto along with Void King (back when he was Void Knight), Amelia was out in the forest alone as she was planning to write a report on Dinohedge. On the way there, she thought she saw a ghost in the forest leading to it and she fired a net from her ghost-capturing device. However, she ended up snagging Ollie by accident as he was wearing the very same poncho that was to be his Secret Santa months later.

"Sorry! I thought you were somebody else! Hold on, I'll deactivate it," the Pink Dino Fury Ranger apologized, trying to deactivate her device only to give the poor Blue Dino Fury Ranger an electric shock as she pressed the wrong button on it.

"WRONG BUTTON! AARGH! AAUGH!" Ollie wailed in pain as Amelia realized her mistake and finally touched the right button to turn it off, leaving him stunned and disgruntled. "That thing really smarts!"

"Come on, it can't hurt that much," Amelia winced, embarrassed.

(End Flashback)

"She knows exactly how to push Ollie's buttons," grinned Javi, wanting to laugh despite the seriousness of their current predicament. "So, that's two safe gifts down, just four more to go."

"And, we don't have much time; I just hope the others and the princess will find out the trouble we're all in and act accordingly," Tsukumaru hoped as he carefully repackaged Amelia's poncho for Ollie.

"Well, what the devil are we all doing standing around here? Let's get hunting," Doug informed, getting nods from everybody as they continued to look through the Secret Santas, hoping they would find the bomb in time.

Meanwhile, back at Pine Ridge's shopping district, unaware of the danger present in the Dino Fury base, Sarah, her family, and their entire party were continuing their gift-hunting to find Javi's Secret Santa for Solon. All the while, the other dragonets with them were bounding around the district as they looked through all of the windows showing Christmas displays that were set up as well as the jewelry, candy, and toys shown in their own display set-ups, their eyes glittering with joy and anticipation.

"Does Solon like hot cocoa?" Amelia asked as she picked up a coffee cup.

"Who doesn't love that stuff?" joked Ash just as Zayto's Wrist Com rang.

"Hey, Zayto, it's a call from Santa. I wonder how he's doing with his deliveries," Sarah noted.

"Well, let's find out," Zayto suggested as he activated his Wrist Com and answered Santa's call. "Hey, Santa, is everything okay?"

"I'm afraid not, Rangers; I fear we may be in trouble. My sketchbook has gone missing, I think it may have been stolen. I can use it to create any gift but it would be very dangerous and spell disaster for everybody should it fall into the wrong hands," the big man replied worriedly.

"Somebody stole Santa's sketchbook?!"

"Somebody's getting a one-way ticket to his naughty list this year."

"But, who's stupid enough to steal it from under his nose?" Dusk, Luna, and Tyson remarked.

"This can't be right; if his sketchbook does end up in the wrong hands, not only would it spell trouble but every kid in the world won't get their gifts by Christmas Day! And, the thief would weasel his or her way onto his nice list as a result!" Ghost (Dragapult) grumbled, deeply concerned.

"And, get all the presents they want out of it," added a gravely concerned Audino.

"But, who, out of all the people, Pokémon, and creatures in the world, would foolishly make off with Mr. Santa's sketchbook and do everybody harm with it?" Sarah's Magearna questioned.

"Only a monster would," Amelia answered gravely.

Santa could only agree as he instructed, "That, I can agree. I need your help to get my sketchbook back from the thieves. If you can't and they start causing trouble, you must destroy it before they can hurt anybody with what they create out of it."

"Don't worry, Santa, we'll get it back. If anything, those thieves have no idea what a little bit of Christmas magic can do," Sarah vowed on everyone's behalf.

"Bemish!" Petunia giggled.

"We're on our way, Santa," Zayto agreed as he ended the call.

"So much for our last-minute Secret Santa shopping for Solon," Izzy sighed.

"Mama, what are we gonna do?" Nebby asked.

"We've got to find out who stole Santa's sketchbook and get it back before they could hurt somebody with what they draw out of it," Mallow concurred.

"Well, they couldn't have gone far. I say we split up and inquire about the book's whereabouts and those of the thieves; form a grid and start checking shop to shop," Lillie suggested.

"Where should we start, though?" Sophocles reminded before the group heard a pair of devious laughs and turned to find Mucus and Slyther as the latter grinned 'Great Work!' to the former.

"No way!"

"Impossible!"

"But, how?!"

"Mucus and Slyther?"

"They're still alive!" Ash, Sarah, Race, Zayto, and Aiyon balked as everyone stared in shock at them, catching the pair by surprise once they saw the heroes.

"Huh?!" the mischievous pair gawked, looking aghast at their oversight.

"The Rangers! And, the princess and her family and friends, too! What are they doing here?" Slyther remarked, taken aback as he leered in annoyance at Mucus for their mistake. "Mucus, I thought you said they were all trapped in their base!"

"Well, we were trapped in another dimension at one point and we got it! So, how'd you think we escaped our bomb?" Mucus retorted, shocking everybody further.

"A BOMB?!" Sarah and her team screamed in horror.

"Wait, wait, wait! Sis, didn't we also leave your folks, Gleam, Mint, Tsukumaro, and Jupiter with Javi so they can stall Solon while we looked for his Secret Santa?" Asha gulped, realizing a fatal mistake on their part.

"Wait... You're right! Oh, no, if that's the case, I've trapped them, Javi, and Solon with the bomb they planted! Oh, man! What have I done?!" Sarah screamed as she clutched her head in a panic, horrified by what she had unintentionally done.

"Now, now, now! Don't panic, Island Girl! Don't lose your head now, there's still time! We got to contact them and find out about the bomb!" Race replied, knowing what they needed to do.

"You're right, Race!" Zayto nodded as he made a frantic call for Solon, Javi, and their party but to no avail, not knowing about the unknown device jamming the Dino Fury base's teleporting and communication systems. "Guys, are you there? Your Majesties, Javi, Solon?! No answer...…"

"There's no response?!"

"Are you saying...THEY'RE STUCK WITH THE BOMB AND WE'RE ALL ON OUR OWN NOW?!" panicked Donphan and Altaria as they held and shook Zayto and Aiyon frantically.

"Now, now, children! All is not lost; remember, the princess' godfather is most adept in magic. They've no idea they're not the only ones with a twist of magic at hand," Zweice quickly informed as quietly as he could so Mucus and Slyther wouldn't hear.

"Yeah."

"The old man's stubborn, he'll get them out somehow," Inferhound and Silvally agreed.

"Prepare the sketchbook!" Slyther announced as Mucus revealed Santa's sketchbook, denoting to everyone that they were the thieves all along. "Who's up for an art lesson?"

"THIEVES!" Snowflake, Snowy, Danny, Danielle, Curly, Togedemaru, Vikavolt, and Pikachu raged when they saw the sketchbook in Mucus' hands.

"You meanies! That sketchbook's not yours!"

"It belongs to Mr. Santa Claus! Now, give it back!" Nebby and Nebula snapped angrily.

"I've seen many lows pulled off by the most outrageous criminals and stupidest villains before but even by trickster standards, you dorks are the lowest!" Zorua concurred furiously.

"You got yourselves a one-way ticket to Santa's naughty list, for sure!"

"And, that's two giant sacks of coal we're gonna give to you on his behalf!" remarked an angry Andres and Whisker.

"YOU'RE BOTH A DISGRACE TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS!"

"The nerve of you guys, stealing one of Santa's means of fulfilling the wishes of all the children in the world who had been good all year just so you can cause trouble again on behalf of Void King and Void Queen! Unforgivable! GET READY!" Totem Marowak and Blitz barked at the two Sporix minions.

"Guess we found our thieves," grumbled Ollie as Mucus and Slyther began their evil work.

Slyther ~ A not-so-itsy-bitsy spider climbed out of Santa's book~

In tune with Slyther's song, Mucus drew a spider that jumped from the pages of Santa's sketchbook and grew into the size of a giant Sporix beast and Megazord instantly.

"That's one crazy sketchbook!" Amelia gulped.

"And, if they somehow made it more powerful compared to the Sporix beasts you guys fought before, I think you're gonna need some crazy magic from me to bail you out. Look," Sarah suggested, seeing the magically drawn spider create a clone of itself to fight alongside it.

"Aww, man, double Christmas trouble?" Aiyon groaned.

"Well, we won't let it ruin our holiday!" Zayto reassured as the gathered rangers decided to morph.

"It's Morphin' Time!" he and Sarah shouted as Aiyon, Amelia, Ollie, Izzy, Ash, Race, Mallow, Lillie, Kiawe, Lana, and Sophocles stood together, brought out their morphers, and brought out their respective keys.

"Dino Fury Key, activate!" the Dino Fury Rangers shouted as they opened and inserted their Dino Fury Keys into their Dino Morphers before they and the Ultra Rescue Rangers (who inserted their Poke-X Keys into their Morphers) bellowed, "Link to Morphin Grid!"

Once they were all morphed, the seven rangers stood together with their sabers and swords at hand as they all roared (while Asha and the rest of her and Sarah's family stood behind), "Dino Fury Power!"

"Rangers forever, defenders together! Power Rangers Ultra Rescue!"

At that moment, with its newly discovered cloning ability, the spider monster created a second clone to join it and the first, making them a triple threat that they would have to tackle before they could continue their Secret Santa hunt for Javi's gift for Solon.

"Oh, come on! Three, now?!"

"No way, there's even more?" groaned Sophocles and Lana, seeing the second clone.

"How are we gonna tackle all three of them at once AND get Santa's sketchbook back?" Izzy questioned.

"Like this, one team's gonna have to deal with the big bad bugs using the Zords including King and the BioZords. The other will stay here and try to get the sketchbook back from our resident class clowns," Sarah suggested before Petunia giggled cutely as she spread her tiny wings and flew towards one of the monsters, shocking everybody.

"Petunia!" gasped Amelia.

"PENTUNA! Come back!" Kiawe cried.

"Ha! That little pipsqueak, just what does she think she can do against our lovely web-makers?" sniggered Slyther smugly.

However, underestimating the baby dragon proved to be a mistake as Petunia, still oblivious to the danger she was in, giggled and babbled in front of the first clone and breathed her Transformation Dragonfire, turning it into a giant piece of cake.

"What?!" Slyther and Mucus balked, seeing Petunia turn towards the second clone and use her Dragonfire magic again to turn it into an ice cream sundae, getting howls of laughter out of Sarah's younger Pokemon and Aiyon (finding the situation hilarious).

The original spider monster, however, didn't see the funny side like the now-annoyed Mucus and Slyther as it roared indignantly and used its cloning ability to produce four clones this time and surround the little dragon in a star formation. Petunia, however, giggled and babbled again as she clapped her hands, thinking that everything the clone had done was for show.

"Oh, no! Now, there's five of them!"

"Of all the times it had to make clones again!" Ollie and Mallow freaked.

"PETUNIA!"

"She can't handle those monsters by herself!" Sarah and Lana screamed, seeing how defenseless the baby dragon was despite her continuing to think the battle was a game.

"Then, we need to rescue her and fast! Without Solon, I'm gonna have to call the Zords myself. Sarah, you think you can help us take these walking web beanstalks with King and your Fury Zords?" Zayto asked the princess.

"Sure, Zayto. I need to get Petunia out of there and fast!" Sarah nodded as she brought out her Beast-X King Zord activator and key and summoned her primary Zord to Pine Ridge in addition to her Fury Zords. "Come on, King! Let's Roll! Deploy Beast-X King Zord, now! Summon Fury Zords: Mufasa, Askari!"

"Count me in, Zayto, I'll give you guys and Island Girl a hand with Carno and Chasa! Carno, Chasa, awaken!" Race hollered, summoning Carno and Chasa to the city to help deal with the monsters and save Petunia.

"Good, thanks. The rest of you, try and get Santa's sketchbook back! We're going in!" Zayto informed the others that are staying behind as he summoned the Dino Fury Zords and he and his team prepared to jump into battle. "Zord Deployment Override, Password: 'Zayto is Cool'. Send in the T-Rex Champion, Dimetra Blazing, and Mosa Razor Zords!"

"Solar, you're driving King! I'll man Mufasa and Askari!" the princess ordered her Beast Bot who nodded knowingly as she got into Mufasa's cockpit and combined him and Askari to make the Pathera Fury Megazord again. "Zords, combined! Pathera Fury Megazord, unleashed!"

"Got it, see ya up there! Come on, King!" the lion Beast Bot shouted as he went to King and linked himself to his giant counterpart, going into Battle Mode. "Solar, linked! Beast-X King Zord Battle Mode, ready!"

"Wait for me, guys! Chasa, Carno, combine powers!" Race shouted as Carno and Chasa combined to form the Blizzard Force Megazord. "Blizzard Force Megazord!"

"Zords, combine!" Zayto and Aiyon shouted, bringing out and flipping the keys of their chosen Zords open before combining the T-Rex Champion, Mosa Razor, and Dimetra Blazing Zords to form a version of the Dino Fury team's Primal Ultrazord to deal with the monsters and save Petunia.

"Fusion Ultra Zord!" the Dino Fury team exclaimed as the five rangers teleported into the cockpit and linked their weapons with their Megazord. "Linked!"

"Let's finish this quick so we can help Javi and the others!"

"And, get back to opening presents!" Aiyon added.

"Huh?" his team quipped.

"Uh, Aiyon, I don't mean to blow up at you like this but DID YOU FORGET THAT SOLON AND JAVI AND MY FAMILY WITH THEM ARE GONNA DIE IF THAT STUPID BOMB BLOWS UP AND PETUNIA'S STILL OUT THERE!?" Sarah screamed angrily at the Gold Dino Fury Ranger, scaring the Dino Fury team as they jumped after hearing her through their Megazords' communication systems.

"Chill, Island Girl! They're not gonna die! If we get Petunia and destroy those creeps fast enough, we can make it back!" Race shouted reassuringly despite sharing his future wife's sentiments.

"Uh... Sorry, but yeah, saving our friends and Sarah's folks is the most important thing," Aiyon corrected.

"You know, Sarah can be scary sometimes when she's mad like that..."

"I agree," gulped Amelia and Ollie, wincing.

"There's no time to waste," Izzy added.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's snag Petunia back and trash those eight-legged hot potatoes coming at her!" Race called before he, Sarah, Solar, and the Dino Fury team began to fight the monsters targeting the female baby dragon.

While Ash and the rest of the Ultra Rescue Rangers, Asha, their Pokémon, and Sarah's family braced themselves for the tough mission of getting Santa's sketchbook back from Mucus and Slyther before they continued to make any more trouble, Zayto, his team, Race, Solar, and Sarah were beginning to make short work of the monsters and reaching Petunia, hoping they would return to the base in time to help deal with their bomb predicament.

Back at the Dino Fury base, the timer Mucus left Javi, Solon, and their party continued to down (i.e. the group now has less than six minutes to stop the bomb threat) but they were having no luck so far. They looked through nearly all of the Secret Santas gathered and they were coming down to the last four (the remaining gifts their friends got for each other as well), having run dry with the other gifts (which they managed to carefully repackage after opening and reminiscing on old times that led them to where they are now as people and rangers (or dinosaurs in Solon's case)).

"Less than six minutes to go until it blows!" Javi stated urgently.

"Ms. Solon, we're running out of time and it's something we don't have on our side right now!" Doug reminded.

"Try this one, Your Majesty," Solon replied, holding out another gift in her claws and allowing him to open it as freezing mist came out, surprising them as they flinched and got the others' attention. "Whoa, frosty!"

"What is it?" the king quizzed until he looked at the label and saw that the container was meant for Aiyon. "Oh, remarkable..."

"Oh, homemade ice cream for Aiyon. Of course, he loves the stuff!" Javi grinned broadly, remembering when Aiyon first had ice cream after waking up from his slumber.

(Flashback)

"Aiyon helped save a runaway ice cream cart when we were at the beach one time."

During his first-ever outing at the beach with his friends, old and new, Aiyon noticed the ice cream cart running away and he tried to stop it before it could hurt somebody in its path. Seeing that it was rolling down the hill at a fast pace and his strength wouldn't do it given the inertia at play, he jumped onto the cart and used its umbrella as a kickstand to slow it down and stop it just in time.

"After that, he was offered free ice cream. He took full advantage of the offer...…"

"I'll start with strawberry, make it a triple scoop!" Aiyon beamed at the ice cream man who was grateful to him for saving his cart.

(End Flashback)

"Hang about, Doug, what flavor does it say on the label?" puzzled Tsukumaro as Doug turned the container to the label, allowing everyone to see that it was an exotic kind of flavor the humans knew nothing about barring Aiyon, Zayto, and Solon.

"Hmm, Ms. Solon, do you know what flavor this is? It says...… It's 'Flargon-flavored', strange," the Alolan king put in, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, I just remembered! Flargon is a Rafkon delicacy; only Zayto would know that! It must be from him," the Solonosaurus deduced knowingly.

Javi, the royals, their advisor, Mint, Gleam, and Jupiter smiled warmly for Zayto getting the perfect Secret Santa for Aiyon as they carefully repackaged the container and moved on to the next Secret Santa which had a green and white crisscross pattern and reindeer silhouettes on it.

"You gotta give us a taste of that, Ms. Solon," Jupiter offered eagerly.

"Maybe another time, Jupiter," Solon replied bashfully before she recomposed herself and took a look at the gift Javi brought up. "Okay, this one's for Zayto."

"Must be from Izzy by the looks of it," Gleam theorized as Javi opened it and found what looked to be a small punching bag and a black gym t-shirt that sported a logo named "Izzy's Gym" on the back.

"Oh, my... A hand-stitched punching bag and a gym shirt with some...uh, unique needlework," Solon noted in surprise as she observed the punching bag and gym shirt.

"It says 'Izzy's Gym' at the back. Why does it have that on it?" Mint questioned, not understanding the logo.

"Oh, right! You all didn't know about that, too; I know what this is. You see, before Aiyon returned, Izzy and Zayto both joined the same gym that a notorious gym coach named Bella ran," Javi recalled, remembering the time when Izzy fell victim to a gym scam run by Bella, the con woman gym coach.

(Flashback)

Shortly after Izzy and Zayto entered Bella's gym and started training, joined by the former's girlfriend, Fern, and another new member, the Red Dino Fury Ranger started to notice something off as he was training, his suspicions stemming from the moment he accidentally blew up one of the punching bags as he was working on his punches and Bella watched the whole thing.

"Impressive, kid. But, if you break another one, you'll have to pay for it," she told him as she went off.

"All members must buy my official training uniform, no exceptions," she added after the two rangers, the student, and Fern completed their first day of training, directing everyone to the gym uniforms she had with her.

"We have to buy a uniform? Even the membership was expensive," Zayto frowned at Izzy, growing suspicious of Bella and what she was doing.

"Come on, it'll be worth it," Izzy denied.

Later, when Slyther appeared and started causing trouble as he usually did, two episodes into his mission given to him by Void Knight after making his debut, he fired a blast from his staff. The Dino Fury rangers managed to dodge in time but the blast ended up creating a whole in the gym jacket Izzy got from Bella much to her disgruntlement.

"Oh, man! It's brand new!"

"She was that bad, huh?" Jupiter winced.

"That greedy coach was the worst, she was always looking for ways to scam money out of people..."

"Hey, I, uh... I noticed that your uniform is torn, I can't have that in my gym. You'll have to buy a new one," Bella told Izzy when she returned to her gym and the con woman noticed her damaged uniform.

"Oh, well, it's kind of expensive... I'm sure I can fix it later," she replied.

But, Bella shot her down as she sweetly told Izzy, "You're the perfect athlete, your uniform should be perfect, too."

Javi sighed, remembering clearly how greedy Bella was and only cared about money and not the well-being of her students and what his stepsister had to go through during her short-lived tenure with her. When she came to Bella to get a new uniform from her and met her in her office, the con woman gym coach offered her a chance to work as a trainer so that they could earn more money for the gym. However, when she noticed that Bella had put on a watch belonging to another friend of hers, Adrian (who had reluctantly given it to her so he could get a uniform as he only had enough money for her gym membership), Izzy suddenly realized that Zayto was right.

Bella was only interested in money and she was never truthful in anything and everything she said to her students, it was all a big fat lie and a giant scam just so she could make off with all their money including her own. Angered and disappointed by this heartbreaking revelation, and humiliated that she even fell for such an elaborate scheme, she furiously bought back Adrian's watch and firmly declined Bella's offer to become a trainer.

"My friend thought you were just in it for and after the money. He was right, you're not the coach I thought you were."

Bella was stunned as she asked, "...Excuse me?!"

After that, Izzy added more salt to the wound she had given the con woman by running training sessions herself for free (and for the students themselves), shocking Bella, and leaving her high and dry as she deserved for her scamming.

"Starting today, I'll be doing group training sessions - for free," she spat.

Angered and humiliated in return, Bella went off in a huff as she spat to her former students, "None of you are ever getting your money back, okay?! Not even a single penny! HMPH!"

"Okay, let's start with stretches," Izzy smiled, ready to begin her free training rounds with her students (who were much happier to be training with her as their coach including Fern and Adrian) to the delight of her friends and stepbrother.

(End Flashback)

"Bloody witch, she's a disgrace to gym trainers in your world," Tsukumaro snarled, wanting to give Bella a piece of his mind and make her return the victims' money if he ever met the con woman gym coach himself.

"What a hag!"

"Yeah, she's a sore loser!"

"She can't accept the fact that she's not good enough to be a gym coach given what you told us!" Jupiter, Gleam, and Mint concurred, also furious at Bella for her shameless scamming.

"Still, it's good that your stepsister did the right thing when she uncovered her plan, Young Javi."

"You and your father must be very proud of her," Delilah and Doug smiled warmly as they all repackaged Izzy's Secret Santa for Zayto, getting a knowing and happy nod from the Black Ranger (also feeling proud of Izzy).

"You and the others should also feel proud knowing that she followed her heart on the matter once the truth came out, Ms. Solon," Tsukumaro said to Solon, now smiling over Izzy's brave act and what she was doing for her students and her friends.

"Oh, yes. Izzy's become a good trainer herself since that day, she must've made this new gear for Zayto. How thoughtful," nodded Solon happily as Javi found one last gift that had yet to be opened.

"Only one gift left," he noted as he brought it up only to open it and find the missing key he needed to fix his keyboard much to his surprise. "Oh, wow... My missing key!"

"Yep! I custom-made it for your keyboard! I hope it fits," Solon grinned as he smiled with delight, realizing that his missing key was Solon's Secret Santa to him.

Deciding to test her Secret Santa out, Javi went over to his keyboard and placed it on the empty key slot. He pressed it and from out of the keyboard came a beautiful and clean F# note; Javi was delighted and touched by what Solon had done, her key fit into his keyboard and he could play it in full again while doing his musical numbers.

"That's an amazing gift, Solon," he thanked.

"Solon, what a wonderful thing you did for Young Javi."

"That's the sweetest thing anybody could do," smiled Doug and Delilah warmly, impressed by Solon's gift from the heart to Javi.

"Cool!"

"I can't wait to hear it thanks to Solon!"

"You should play it later, Javi!" chirped Jupiter, Mint, and Gleam excitedly to the Black Ranger.

"Young Javi, I think you now understand what this means," added Tsukumaro with a warm smile before he turned to Solon and extended his old friends' sentiments to her. "Ms. Solon, if you can do something as warm, real, and bright as that, you truly are one of a kind."

"Oh, you're welcome, everyone. But, I'm afraid it won't be much use if we can't find that bomb in time."

Javi nodded as he thought back to Mucus' message, "Right... Mucus said that the explosive was a gift but the only gift left was Aiyon's power sander and that's something only he would get. And, none of the Secret Santas from Sarah and the others are the bomb. Which one is it?"

Tsukumaro looked around he noticed the star on the tree and asked Javi, "Young Javi... That star you've placed on the tree earlier, where on earth did you get it?"

Suddenly, a light went off in Javi's head as he looked back at the star and his eyes widened, telling the old advisor, "That's it! Tsukumaro, you're right! I didn't buy that when I was leaving the shopping district in town earlier! The star on the tree! Someone dropped it in my case while I was playing my carols!"

"It's a gift! The guy that left it must've been Slyther in disguise!" Solon gasped in realization. "Javi, Tsukumaro, that must be it!"

"How do we get rid of it?" Javi questioned.

"Only 30 seconds until it blows!" Solon added, seeing Mucus' card timer counting down to the last 30 seconds.

"Wait! We don't have to get rid of it!"

"Yeah, we got an idea!"

"Just leave it to us!" Mint, Gleam, and Jupiter suggested, all three of them getting a brain blast that can save the base as well as their entire party and destroy the bomb in one go.

"What are you going to do?" the Solonosaurus questioned worriedly.

The three dragonets winked at her as they got together in front of the tree and Slyther and Mucus' "gift" as their horns began to glow (with Gleam, Jupiter, and Mint covering them in pink, sapphire blue, and aquamarine auras respectively). Then, once they were fully charged, they fired their combined magic at the star, blasting it and transforming the bomb into a glowing golden star as it shimmered brightly in rainbow colors (while the tree also gained two streams of red and gold garland wrapped around it).

"Whoa..." the Black Ranger, Alolan royals, and Solonosaurus breathed in awe and wonder just as the base's systems were back online following the bomb's end and Mucus' card time shut down.

"Phew! That was close!" Tsukumaro breathed with relief.

"Too close for us!" Delilah rebuked sharply.

"No kidding!" agreed Solon before she looked around the base and, to her surprise, saw it completely operational again. "But, our systems... T-They're back online!"

Seeing a ray of hope now thanks to Mint, Gleam, and Jupiter, Tsukumaro, Doug, Delilah, and the dragonets in question began to clean up their mess and reorganize everyone's Secret Santas while Javi activated his Wrist Com to get into contact with Sarah, Zayto, and the others again.

"Guys, Sarah, Race! Does anyone copy?" he asked.

Back on the battlefield, the Blizzard Force and Pathera Fury Megazords along with the Fusion Ultrazord were continuing to right the spider clones while doing their best to protect Petunia when they heard Javi's voice.

"So glad to hear your voice! Hang tight, we've gotta catch a spider!" Zayto answered, relieved to hear Javi again while the Fuzion Ultrazord did a back flip to dodge two of the clones attacking it and kicked them in the face.

"Mega Fury Saber!" he continued, placing his Chromafury Saber back in its slot and summoning the Mega Fury Saber for a Megazord finisher before he, Aiyon, Ollie, Amelia, and Izzy shouted as they struck the clones together and destroyed them, "Fusion Ultra Strike!"

"Check this out, Tarantula Head! I think it's time for you to chill out and pack it in with a little Christmas Snowstorm! Blizzard Force Megazord, Snow Crystal!" Race roared, using the Blizzard Force Megazord's Snow Crystal finisher as it glowed a rainbow color before snow crystals surrounded it and it fired them at his spider clone.

"Hang on, Petunia! Pathera Fury Megazord, full power!" Sarah finished, using her Roar of the Elders as her Megazord's finisher to destroy the last two clones and finally rescue Petunia who finally noticed her human mother and her Megazord and babbled happily, clapping for them.

"D'oh! Well, that's what you get for relying on an eight-legged freak. I should've started with something scary, like a clown," grumbled Slyther in annoyance as he and Mucus fended off Sarah's team and family from the rooftops and he held Santa's sketchbook.

"Don't even think about it! You're not drawing another thing on that book," snapped Asha as she held her Prism Shooter in Knight Mode just as Sarah, Zayto, his team, Solar, and Race disembarked from their Megazords and King, joining them to confront the duo again (with Petunia flying alongside her human mother).

"What?" Slyther blinked only to be shocked further as he saw Javi (now morphed) teleporting himself, Mint, Jupiter, Gleam, Doug, Delilah, and Tsukumaro from the base soon after. "What?!"

"Mom, Dad, Tsukumaro, girls!" Sarah cried with relief as she hugged her parents, godfather, and the dragonets with them.

"Momma!" Mint, Gleam, and Jupiter squealed as they joined in the group hug.

"Are you alright?"

"We are, honey. Don't worry," Delilah soothed, patting her daughter gently.

"We're back and ready for action!" Javi grinned.

"And, your and Mucus' inconceivable holiday wrecking has been vanquished, Slyther," Tsukumaro huffed as he took out his sword and pointed it at the Sporix magician.

"Oh, great! This is not turning out to be a good Christmas for us!" gulped Mucus.

"That's what you think, old man! Hengemen!" smirked Slyther as he summoned some Hengemen to assist him, signaling the reunited Dino Fury team and Sarah's friends to bring out their Power/Boost Keys and make short work out of them while Delilah, Sarah, and Doug took out their swords (eager for some payback and their parents stayed with the rest of their family and Asha kept her Prism Shooter out in Knight Mode).

Donning their Battle Armor from the Blazing, Muscle, Mist, Shield, Electro, Sprint, Zekrom Electro, Kyurem Ice, Suicune, Entei, Calyrex, and Raikou keys, the two teams charged into battle as the majority of the Hengemen went after them.

"Blazing Fury Slash!"

"Flamethrower!"

"Ice Burn!"

"Muscle Flex!" shouted Zayto, Kiawe, Lillie, and Amelia as they clobbered their Hengemen platoon with fire, ice, and muscle from the Blazing and Muscle Dino Boost Keys and the Entei and Kyurem Ice Power Keys.

"Sprint Streak!"

"Volt Tackle!" Sophocles and Ollie bellowed as they attacked the Hengemen Izzy and Mallow were able to defend against using the Shield Boost Key and Safeguard from the Calyrex Power Key with the powers of their Spring Boost and Raikou Power Keys.

"Mist Spritz!"

"Hydro Pump!"

"Thunderbolt!"

"Mosa Electro Blast!" Javi, Lana, Ash, and Aiyon boomed, using the Mist Boost and Mosa Electro Keys and the Suicune and Zekrom Electro Power Keys to shock and confuse the Hengemen coming at them thus reducing them to nothing but rubble.

As for the remaining Hengemen, with Asha, Tsukumaro, and Race joining them (the latter holding out his Bio Lion Talon on his right hand and his Pyroar Fang held on his left given their current melee combat scenario), Sarah and her blood parents took them on in a varied display of swordsmanship.

When the heroes, Delilah, Tsukumaro, and Doug finally reduced the number of Hengemen down to the last twelve standing before them, Petunia surprised everybody again by flying in front of them before giggling and using her Dragonfire to blast them and turn them into tiny cupcakes.

"Huh?! Oh, why, you little-! Why do you have to be such a nuisance? You're an even bigger pain compared to Mucus!" Slyther grumbled again after seeing the last of his Hengemen transformed and done for.

"Stop this right now, Slyther! You're already ruining everybody's Christmas with your parlor tricks! Now, hand over Santa's sketchbook or else!" Sarah warned as everybody confronted him again.

"But, tricks are my thing, Solgaleo Ranger! Observe!" Slyther smirked as he hurled Santa's sketchbook into the air and enlarged it to create a final giant that could stop them for good. "All these pages I can fill with monsters but what next? Ah! I've got it, I'll draw the greatest monster of them all! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

His ego boosted from his greatest idea yet, he then doodled a giant copy of himself to deal with the heroes as he declared, "Welcome to the stage, Giant Me!"

"OH, COME ON! WHEN IS MR. EGOTISTICAL GONNA GET HIS ASS KNOCKED OFF OF HIS POWER DIATRIBE!?" raged Chi-Yu in annoyance.

"Hello, Small Me! Shall I sprinkle some pain?" smirked Slyther's gigantic counterpart.

"That's it! I've had it with that show-and-tell ripoff!"

"Yeah, I think it's time WE get in on the Megazord action now!" snapped Ash and Kiawe as the gang nodded in agreement, wanting to stop Slyther's madness now.

"Sarah, Race, ready for Round 2 of 'Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots'?" Lillie asked the married royals.

"Bring it on!"

"Count me in!" the pair nodded as Sarah gently grabbed Petunia and took her to her parents, leaving her in her blood mother's arms.

"Now, Petunia, stay here with Mom and Dad and the rest of our family so Slyther's doppelganger can't reach you," she warned as she rejoined her friends and they prepared to go big with their own Megazord.

"Sarah, Race, guys, wait!"

"What are you doing?!" gasped Zayto and Amelia as they and the Dino Fury Rangers were taken aback at their fellow rangers/successors volunteering to fight Slyther again via their Megazord before they could go back into their Dino Fury Zords for another fight.

"We need Ultra PAW Megazord power, now!"

Summoning their Ultra Rescue vehicles and driving toward Mucus' partner-in-crime, the eight Ultra Rescue Rangers reassembled their Megazord as they were going to take the fight to Slyther's gigantic counterpart now in Zayto and his friends' stead. As they did so, Race and Sarah were unaware that they unintentionally picked up a few stowaways who snuck into their Night Light Cruiser and Pika-Runner just to be with them.

"Ultra PAW Megazord, battle-ready!"

"Don't forget me! Come on, King! Up and at 'em!" Solar shouted as he rejoined King and got back into Battle Mode with him. "Beast-X King Zord: Battle Mode, ready!"

"Whoa, I'll betcha Slyther got their gears grinding from what I'm seeing, much more compared to what those three Guzzlord months ago did when they invaded Manalo Stadium."

"Yeah, they're not having it good right now with his cheap magic," Ollie and Izzy remarked.

"With how he's using Santa's sketchbook to cause trouble, I don't blame them," Javi replied sympathetically.

"Okay, guys, Slyther still has Santa's sketchbook on him! Whatever we do, we need to get it back or destroy it to make sure he doesn't go agro with monsters to make again!" Sarah informed.

"Right!" the gang and Race agreed knowing what they must do.

"Ready, Solar?" Sarah asked her Beast Bot.

"Let's get 'im!" they all roared, running towards Slyther's doppelganger as their final battle with him for the day began, hoping to get the sketchbook back or destroy it should he not give it up.

"Step right up!" Slyther sneered, switching between defense and offense as he defended himself against the Ultra PAW Megazord and King, putting a comedic twist to the battle as he commented on each of his moves including firing energy waves at the Ultra Rescue team. "Duck, block! Dodge! Whammo!"

"Hand over the book, Slyther! This is your last warning!" Ash demanded.

"Too bad! You'll have to take it from me if you can!" the Sporix magician sneered again.

"This isn't working, he's really grating on us and we can't get a clear shot at him to make him let go of the book!" Solar shouted from King.

"We gotta find a way to distract him and when he's down, make him drop the book while he's not looking," Lillie suggested.

"How do we do that?" Lana asked just as a solution came in the form of the two baby turtle Pokémon appearing with the group in the cockpit from atop Race and Sarah's seats, the two of them cooing curiously as they looked around.

The Ultra Rescue Rangers gasped in surprise and shock as they weren't expecting them to appear as they did, Sarah and Race being the most shocked as they spluttered, "D-H-Hey, you?!"

"What are you two doing here?!"

The group's shock, however, caused them to be distracted for a moment which allowed Slyther to get a hit on them, knocking their Megazord back and causing them to get rocked inside. The baby turtle Pokémon were also started by the sudden and rocking motion until they saw their human caretakers nearly hurt, both of them quickly turning towards Slyther's doppelganger as they saw him being the culprit behind their humans' near miss.

Angered by this, the two baby turtle Pokémon growled and cooed furiously at him as he attacked them and their caretakers and friends once more, now causing them to roar angrily and transform.

The two baby Pokémon let out a bright light as they shielded the Ultra PAW Megazord from the doppelganger's attack and popped out of the cockpit to stand atop the Megazord's head, changing forms as Sarah's turtle Pokémon regained the form it used when it helped Blitz and Sarah win their exhibition match and their rematch against Kukui and Tapu Koko. Amazingly, Race's baby turtle Pokémon transformed into the same Pokémon, the two of them looking virtually identical (which would make it hard for anybody to tell them apart unless he and Sarah were with them).

"AHHH! Gadzooks! Shapeshifting Zords and now, shapeshifting magical turtles?" spluttered Slyther's doppelganger with his surprise at the newcomers leaving him completely distracted as they cooed and took advantage of his moment of weakness, firing a barrage of stars that led him to scream, "Ow!" in pain multiple times and make him lose Santa's sketchbook when he threw it in the air.

"The book!"

"It's gonna fall!"

"Somebody catch it, we're gonna lose Santa's book!" Tsukumaro, Javi, and Amelia screamed as everybody else gasped.

Luckily, a quick-thinking Petunia flew up to the book and caught it in her hands after it shrunk back to its normal size, making her giggle and babble happily and causing the heroes and Sarah's entire family to cheer for her success.

"Bwook!" Petunia cooed, giggling again as she held it out for everyone to see.

"Look, Petunia caught the book!"

"She did it!"

"Alright, Petunia!"

"You did it, Petunia!"

"Thank goodness!"

"You're a hero!" the gang cheered.

"Don't forget our babies that made it possible!" Race reminded, impressed.

"Yeah, I'm surprised they were able to save you guys from Slyther's copycat clobbering you like that!" Solar added.

"Yeah, thanks, you two! You as well, Petunia, we'll take it from here!" Sarah thanked the little trio as she, her team, and Solar prepared to finish the doppelganger off.

"Ultra PAW Megazord, Power Sword! Now!"

"Right! Let's go, King!"

"Power Sword, Raging Torrent!"

"King Spear, Scepter Slash!"

Through King and the Megazord's finishers, the Ultra Rescue Rangers and Solar managed to destroy Slyther's doppelganger and save Christmas and Santa's sketchbook for everyone (causing everybody on their side to cheer loudly again).

"You're down!"

"Buh-bye!"

"We rock, we rule!" the gang smirked.

"Slyther the Not-So-Friendly Giant, eliminated!" Solar smirked as King and the Ultra PAW Megazord stood at ease, the heroes' latest victory leaving a bitter taste in the real Slyther and Mucus' mouths.

"Aww, man! I guess I know what I want for Christmas next year: no more Power Rangers!" Mucus pouted.

After everybody had a wild and crazy day battling against Slyther and Mucus, the heroes and Sarah's family all returned to the Dino Fury base to finally get their Christmas party started. They even managed to contact Santa and tell him that they managed to save his sketchbook much to his delight as he made his way over and was told everything by Sarah and Javi.

"And, so that's that. We got your sketchbook back before Mucus and Slyther can make off with it again and it's thanks to Petunia and my and Race's new Pokémon," Sarah finished as she held her turtle Pokémon in her arms again.

"Sorry that we had to cut it close, Santa. But, here it is," added Javi as he and Sarah returned the intact magical sketchbook to the big man.

"Ho-ho-ho-ho! Why, thank you, Javi, Princess. You two and everyone involved in saving Christmas has done more than enough to ensure that we all have happy holidays this year. In fact..." Santa began heartily before he looked at his sketchbook thoughtfully and decided to hand it to Sarah.

"Whoa, really? But, I thought you would want it back, Santa."

"I prefer to make presents the traditional way - with elves. But, the most important thing is that the bad guys didn't get my book. I'm sure you'll do a lot of good with my book safely in your hands rather than mine, Princess."

"Cool!"

"Hooray!"

"Yeah, Mommy!"

"Pretty book!"

"Yippee!" Aster, Finch, Macaw, Azure, and Spice cheered, fluttering their wings happily.

"Wow... Thanks, Santa, you're the greatest. I promise to take care of it," Sarah smiled warmly as she and Santa shared a hug and had a few good chuckles.

"We're happy to help, all of us. Merry Christmas!" Zayto replied happily as he and the others beamed brightly.

"Hey, can we exchange our gifts now?" Javi questioned, realizing that it was time for the Secret Santas to be given.

"Yes, finally!" Aiyon grinned broadly as everybody went to find their gifts and Amelia handed Ollie the poncho she worked on much to the Blue Ranger's surprise.

"So, that's where my poncho disappeared to! I hope I don't have to run into any more ghost hunters. Thanks, Amelia," he joked, feeling grateful for Amelia's gift and the touch-up she did on it.

"You're welcome," Amelia smiled.

"Whoa, the tree looks beautiful, especially with the star!"

"Yeah, who did all of this to it?" Zayto and Izzy gasped in awe, finally seeing the bomb-devoid star and the new garland wrapped around the Christmas tree.

"It's a long story, m'dears."

"A very, very long story," Tsukumaro and Mint, Jupiter, and Gleam joked, getting chuckles out of everyone.

With the gang's Secret Santas, they were each given a surprise of their own. Ash's Secret Santa for Lillie was a tiny Cubchoo which she instantly adored; with Kiawe, his Secret Santa for Sophocles turned out to be his favorite treat from him and his family: Moo-Moo Milk Ice Cream; Sophocles' Secret Santa was for Mallow and he had chosen a tablet to help her with keeping track of, updating, and adjusting the menus in her family restaurant (much to her delight); Mallow's Secret Santa, which she picked out for Gladion, was some homemade Pokémon food from her family's Pokémon menu; and, finally, Lana's Secret Santa for Ash is a Mystic Water Necklace for any of his Water Pokémon at Prof. Oak's lab.

As for Sarah with her Secret Santas for her family (save for Tsukumaro), she brought out her wand and levitated several boxes over to her parents (blood and adoptive) and her grandparents.

"Honey, what are these things?" Delilah questioned.

"What in Arceus' name did you get for all of us?" Doug added curiously as he examined the boxes given to him.

"How should I know? Open them and you'll find out," she replied cryptically, allowing them to unwrap and open their presents as everybody else turned to them (starting with the bigger boxes).

To their and everyone else's surprise, when they opened the larger boxes, they found six custom-made cloaks made for them, designed after the cloaks worn by students in the Hogwarts Legacy game:

- Nikki's cloak was a Merlin's Cloak, a blue and gold cloak that had a hood and was lined with real gold all over to give it a beautiful and majestic aura in appearance with the collar being a light-silver color with lines of gold on either side (but still lightweight and viable enough for her to move around freely)

- James' Hogwarts Legacy cloak was an Illustrious Emerald Silk robe that came with a wand handle which was the Regal Blue Wand Handle, an enchanting wand handle in stylish shades of gold and aquamarine

- Doug's cloak was the Gryffindor Relic House Uniform in a stunning shade of red with golden images of a griffin and metal epaulets on the sides and a flurry collar (which denotes his daring attitude, courage, chivalry, and determination to help others in need)

- Delilah's cloak, on the other hand, is the Hufflepuff Relic House Uniform which is a beautiful dark-blue cloak that has gold images of Hufflepuff House's mascot, a ferret, at the back (denoting her loyalty to her family and friends, the hard work she did for her family and Alola, her honesty, and her compassion)

- David and Donna (former queen) instead got elegant Striped Ravenclaw and Gryffindor House cloaks riddled with glistening sapphire and gold stripes

But, the custom Hogwarts Legacy cloaks weren't the only things Sarah got for her blood and adoptive families; along with the cloaks, there were the items in the smaller boxes, the six adults opening them to reveal six Singapore-style necklaces that had charms shaped like Phoe-Phoe and a special wand for each of them.

Speaking of the wands that came with their necklaces, each wand was made for them differently:

- Nikki's wand was made of English Oak that had a core of Unicorn Hair

- James' wand was constructed out of Pear Wood and had a Unicorn Hair core as well (which he slipped on the new wand handle Sarah had given him snuggly, giving it a much more elegant and regal appearance)

- Doug and Delilah were an interesting case as they were both given Elder Wands but they were in their respective Hogwarts house colors so everybody could tell them apart

- And, finally, Donna (former queen) and David are given wands made out of Reed Wood but they are also colored in the respective colors of their Hogwarts house for anybody to tell them apart from one another

"Bloody hell," Tsukumaro breathed, completely floored by his charge's Secret Santa for his old friends, their parents, Nikki, and James while everyone else gasped and muttered in amazement.

"Sarah, these are great!"

"Thank you, Ponchita..." James and Nikki thanked, smiling.

"Honey...…"

"W-We don't know what to say," Delilah and Doug sniffed, both of them feeling like crying from the gifts they were given.

"...I'm just happy you two, Granny, and Gramps are back and I wanted to mark your return to our home and my life with those wands, necklaces, and cloaks. It's also to say 'Thanks' to Asha's parents for taking me in and raising me when you left me in the future to save me from Lothor," Sarah admitted warmly.

"Oh, pumpkin...…"

"...Baby, we think these just might be the best gifts you've ever given us," cried Donna (former queen) and David happily as they, their children, and Sarah shared a group hug.

Everybody cooed at the heartwarming sight and as Javi watched on, he recalled everything that happened throughout the day and what he once thought as he made his last-minute shopping run to find his Secret Santa for Solon.

He watched as the others continued to give their Secret Santas to each other while he thought about what he went through with Tsukumaro, Solon, Mint, Jupiter, Gleam, Delilah, and Doug after Mucus and Slyther trapped them in the base, seeing the old advisor being given a Secret Santa by Nikki which was a 7-year-old female Golden Retriever/Akita Inu Mix puppy named Darla.

Darla had a dark brown fur coat with chocolate brown spots with lighter shades of brought found on her paws and the tip of her tail. In addition, she sported a black snout and eyebrows of the same color while she showed a white arrowhead marking on her chest and had fluffy ears and a fluffy tail which were both in a rich chocolate brown.

"Ms. Nikki...… I-I don't know what to say, she's such a doll," breathed Tsukumaro, amazed as he gently carried Darla out of the elegantly designed shoebox she was in.

"I adopted her just for you, Tsukumaro. I felt that it was time you had another pet and magical creature of your own besides Phoe-Phoe," Nikki replied sweetly.

True to his word, Tsukumaro's Secret Santa was indeed for Solon; the old advisor took into account the fact that she had claws and her immense interest in his former world's magic so he decided to give her his first-ever wand (a beginner's wand made from a phoenix core build allowing for a good range of magic to be cast by its wielder) and two books from his days at Hogwarts when he attended the Care of Magical Creatures class (which was one of his personal favorites): Book of Spells by Miranda Goshawk and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander.

"Oh, Tsukumaro... These are amazing! My own wand, a Hogwarts spellbook, and a book on the Wizarding World's most marvelous creatures?" Solon gushed in awe.

"I knew how fascinated you are with my world's magic ever since I told you about Hogwarts, Ms. Solon. So, despite knowing that you have claws, I feel like it's time you become a witch in your own right. That is why I'm giving you my first wand from my early days at Hogwarts and leaving you with two copies of my books that are most vital to me; the spellbook being a crucial guide in performing all kinds of spells and my favorite book from the Care of Magical Creatures class that allowed me to understand more about the beasts from my world. Use them well," the old advisor smiled.

He then held her right shoulder tenderly as he also told her, "I have a feeling that with my, the princess', and Young Race's help and a few lessons to begin showing your magical prowess, whenever you're ready to learn, you will be the most remarkable and unique witch of this age or any other."

"Oh, you're so sweet, Tsukumaro. I love your world's magic, thank you," Solon smiled as she and Tsukumaro shared a warm hug and the latter chuckled while the Dino Fury Rangers congratulated her after they saw everything.

With Sarah, her Secret Santa for Race was a new necklace that was shorter compared to the Gift of Faith but had an Amethyst gemstone held by two golden wing-shaped clasps which were attached to a heavy golden chain and a golden crown that had tiny blue diamonds at the tips (the crown being a physical sign of his new royal heritage given his marriage with the little princess).

"Geez, Island Girl...… I'm impressed and while this may be a bit much, you shouldn't have," the former BF Champion said as he smiled warmly and gently ruffled his wife's hair while patting her head.

"Since we're four months into our marriage and you're officially an in-law of my family, I thought I'd get you something for everyone to denote you as my prince and my husband if you wanted," Sarah replied.

Race continued to smile as he warmly told his wife, "What did I ever do to deserve a woman such as you?"

"Oh, Sarah! Time for your Secret Santa from all of us~!" Ash grinned, surprising the little princess as she turned to the Kanto trainer.

"Huh? What are you talking about, Ash?" she quizzed, confused by what he meant. "I already have everything I need; I don't need another gift, you know."

Zayto and the others just grinned as the Red Dino Fury Ranger concurred with Ash's sentiments, "You may not think so but it's never too late for us to give you a Secret Santa regardless."

"But, I already have you all, my family and I reunited, all the Pokémon, mythicals, and dragons with us, Race... You're not making any sense, I don't need another gift."

"Not with what we're thinking you're not," Lillie smirked cheekily.

Sarah sighed in defeat, seeing as she was not going to talk her way out if her friends were being so persistent about the matter at hand, "Alright, I'll bite. What did you all get for me?"

"Right here, hi~" cooed a calm yet soothing female voice before Sarah turned and saw that the owner of the voice was a female tiger (that talks) coming from behind her.

Now, by this point, Sarah is no stranger to talking to animals given her ability to speak with most of them and a majority of Pokémon in fluent English but even she was taken aback when she closely looked at the tiger; instead of the traditional orange, black, and white colors many tigers from different regions of the world are known for, the powerful and elegant tiger before her had purple fur and she had blue hair with white streaks on her head that swooped down from her right side.

In addition, she had a white underbelly, white socks, and a white muzzle, and yet, the most striking thing about her is that she had a unicorn horn and a Cutie Mark on her flanks in the shape of a blue lightning bolt.

"...Uh, I'm sorry, what?"

"TIGER!"

"Wow, a horned tiger!"

"Cool!"

"A real, live tiger with a unicorn horn?! Fascinating," gasped a stunned Silvally, Chien, Ting Lu, Chi-Yu, and Wo-Chien.

"Oh, great. As If I don't have enough pipsqueaks to lose my mind over...…" Eternatus sulked.

"Who is she?"

"I don't know, I've never seen a purple tiger before."

"And, tigers don't usually have unicorn horns."

"Is she friendly?" Buneary, Gogoat, Prinplup, and Quilava puzzled curiously as they looked at the horned tiger.

"My name's Chill, Lightning Chill. What's your rap?" the tiger greeted coolly, holding out a paw to Sarah.

"Okay, am I going crazy or is she speaking like a hipster just as R.J. did?" Frosmoth blinked in bewilderment.

"You're not dreaming, I heard her, too," replied Appletun, feeling just as astonished.

"Oh, no!" groaned Ollie albeit playfully.

"Uh, yeah, nice to meet you, Chill," Sarah said as she shook hands/paws with Lightning Chill before turning to Ash and the gang. "Ash, where did you guys get her? What were you thinking?"

"When we heard from Marena about your multi-tasking breaking you down as it did and told her about getting a Secret Santa for you, she introduced us to Lightning and we knew she'd be perfect for you," Ash said, continuing to grin.

"Hey, she's a great deal!"

"Yeah, maybe she can finally help you learn how to chill out and quit running around like a headless chicken on steroids," joked Lana and Mallow.

Sarah was soon irked by this as she asked them darkly, "...What did you call me?"

"Oh, right! Javi, how did your gift hunting go?" Santa asked Javi while everybody laughed, wondering about his gift for Solon.

"Copying your idea was a bust," the Black Ranger admitted until he continued, "But, after going through the presents today and getting a very thoughtful gift from Solon, I think I learned the secret. And, it's something I'm sure Tsukumaro can agree on when I saw him giving her a thoughtful gift of his own and Sarah can vouch for that with those necklaces, wands, and cloaks for her parents and grandparents just now, 'Great gifts come from the heart'. Which is why, I now know which gift I'm going to give."

Santa smiled proudly at Javi as he watched her approach his set-up keyboard and pick up his Christmas songbook, seeing and knowing the perfect kind of gift he now wanted to give to the maternal cybernetic dinosaur.

"Hey, Javi?" Solon quizzed as she turned to him and he got her attention, wondering about his Secret Santa until he spoke first.

"I'm your Secret Santa. Merry Christmas, Solon," he told her happily, presenting her with his songbook much to her surprise.

"Your songbook? Oh, my, how come?"

"You told Delilah, Doug, Jupiter, Tsukumaro, Gleam, Mint, and I you get nervous and you forget the words of songs. And, after going through everyone's presents and getting that missing key from you, I thought about your stage fright problem. When Izzy and I were little, our family sang carols with this songbook. It always helped me to get into the Christmas spirit, now it'll do the same for you."

Deeply touched by Javi's gift to her, Solon couldn't help but smile brightly, "It's perfect! Thank you, Javi, can we sing one now?"

"You can at Sarah's Christmas party!"

"We'll be with you all the way singing along," Aiyon and Zayto put in as they and the others joined the pair.

"We can sing and play together. And, for some 'special guests' she told us about that you may remember," agreed Amelia, smiling brightly as Ollie nodded in agreement.

"Good job, Bro," Izzy complimented her stepbrother.

"Thanks, Sis," grinned Javi as the two held each other in a side hug.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Ash shouted as everybody and Santa cheered and prepared to head for Melemele Island.

Finally, the moment had arrived; with Mucus and Slyther bested once again and everything back to normal for the time being, Sarah (with Race and Tsukumaro's help) apparated everybody to Melemele Island for her Christmas party. To the surprise and delight of the Dino Fury Rangers and Solon, the "special guests" turned out to be many of their old friends with some new ones as well.

Amongst the "special guests" that were invited (as the party would be held in Hau'oli City to accommodate everybody and the citizens of Melemele joining in on the fun) were the following:

- The Eight Queens, Reader, Marena, Tom and the Rakke Town Riders (one of the new Power Ranger teams Sarah is training at her Ranger Academy), the Vikings which also included Stoick, Gobber, Henna, Edgar, and Elias (who was resurrected by Rajhu as was the case with Asha)

- Casey, Theo, Lily, R.J., Dom, Jarrod, Camille, the three surviving Pai Zhuq Masters (Finn, Swoop, and Phant), Devon, Zoe, Nate, Ravi, Ben, Betty, Steel (whom the Dino Fury team and Solon were stunned to see is now fully human), the now-General Shaw, General Burke, Muriel, and Mayor Daniels

- Sunset Shimmer, Sunny and the Mane Seven, the Royal Mane Six (including Tempest Sparkle, Glimmer Glow, Snowdrop Winterfell, Sky Bronco, Vanilla Sky, and Nuntak), Discord, Spike (G4), the Princesses of Old, and the Guardians of Harmony

- Diane and Johnathan (whom Asha was excited to see), and to the delight of Jakanee, Sarah went through the trouble of inviting Raya, Namaari, Boun, Tong, Noi and her Ongi friends, Benja, Virana, Sisu, Pengu, Amba, Jagan, and Pranee from the Great Big Book of Disney

As Christmas was also Diane's birthday, with Johnathan's birthday happening two days later, everyone also decided to celebrate their birthdays at the same time on Christmas day for both of them would be 57 years old together.

"Devon, Casey! Guys! Hey!"

"Hi, everyone!" Ollie and Amelia greeted, the Dino Fury team, Solon, and their old friends exchanging handshakes, happy words, and hugs along with the crowd of citizens and Pokémon gathered (who were just as ecstatic to see them again).

"Steel! How are ya, man?"

"Yeah, dude, congrats on becoming human!" Javi and Izzy smiled as they hugged and greeted Steel.

"Thanks, guys, it's awesome! I'm finally able to do the things Nate and the others did because of it!" Steel beamed.

"That's right!"

"And, we wouldn't have it any other way!" the Noctowl brothers agreed as Nate and his Noctowl, Brain, joined them (with Steel's Noctowl, Brawn, happily perching himself on his partner's right shoulder).

"And, it's made even more special for us because it will be his first ever Christmas as a human!" the BM Gold Ranger announced excitedly, causing the Garcia stepsiblings to extend their congratulations to Steel in delight.

"Masters," Sarah greeted, bowing to Master Swoop, Master Finn, and Master Phant as she approached them.

"Hello, Sarah. Merry Christmas," smiled Master Swoop.

"Sorry to break you from your training at this time."

"Oh, that's alright, Sarah. If anything, it gives us a chance to meet R.J. and the others again and see how they're getting on," Master Finn reassured with a smile of his own.

"Oh, right. There are a few people I want you to meet," the princess realized before she turned to her blood family watching them, waving at them to come over and meet the Pai Zhuq Masters. "Masters, I want you to meet my real family: my mom, Queen Delilah; my dad: King Doug; my granny: Donna; and, my gramps: David."

"So, you three are part of the seven masters that taught our daughter, our friends, and our family Kung Fu while they were looking for us... It is an honor for us to welcome you to our kingdom for her party, Masters," Doug smiled warmly as he and Delilah bowed to the three Pai Zhuq Masters.

"How can we ever thank you for everything you did for them, especially our baby?" Delilah asked thankfully.

"Ah, there's no need. Your daughter and her friends are the finest pupils we had in years and they're all bright. They've learned well and it fills our hearts with joy to know that they're remembering everything we taught them and applying the lessons they learned to their professions," Master Phant replied humbly

"Well, you have been a great help to them while they looked for our children. Thank you," David said, smiling.

"Devon, Zoey, Ravi, good to see you guys again," smiled Zayto as he and his friends joined the main three Beast Morphers Rangers, their Beast Bots, and General Shaw.

"Zayto, what's up?"

"How have you been?"

"You all look great!" Ravi, Zoey, and Devon grinned as they and General Shaw exchanged hugs and handshakes with their successors.

"How are things going for you all after naming Devon Commander of Grid Battleforce in your stead, General? It's been a while," smiled Ollie as he spoke with General Shaw.

"Very enlightening. Devon has proven himself to be a capable leader with everything he's learned ever since he was accepted into Grid Battleforce and I'm proud to say I've left Grid Battleforce in capable hands," Ravi's mother smiled.

"Well, it was because of you and the others, General, that helped us get to where we are now. Especially since Ravi's able to show his artistic talents with Roxy's help now that they're back together again, Zoey and Nate are together while she's spearheading our new wind and solar farms, and Steel and Blaze are now part of a movie company and making a big picture as we speak," Devon replied, grinning broadly.

"But, there's no way we'd ever miss a Christmas party like this!"

"Yeah! There's no better place for us to go and spend the holidays together than Alola where everyone here is family!"

"A family in need is a family indeed and a family is what we all are!" Cruise, Smash, and Jax added, sharing Devon, Ravi, and Zoey's enthusiasm.

"Boy, sure is great seeing you guys again!" Lana grinned as she, Lillie, and Mallow met up with the Jungle Fury Rangers, Jarrod, and Camille.

"And, how! Especially during the most wonderful time of the year and you even got the big man himself in on the fun!" Dom perked up.

"I'm sure glad we get to have fun with you guys in Alola!" Lily smiled.

"Care to explain the purple and horned tiger there?" Theo quizzed incredulously, pointing at Lighting Chill as she mingled with Sunny and her group.

"A purple tiger with the horn of a unicorn, huh? That's new," Camille quipped, curious about Lightning Chill as Sarah came up to the Jungle Fury team and Lightning Chill joined her seconds later.

"...….My Secret Santa from my friends," the little princess remarked, a little embarrassed as she blushed and her best friends giggled at her.

"Yo, dudes and dudettes. The name's Chill, Lightning Chill. Nice to meetcha," Lightning Chill grinned as the Jungle Fury team turned to her.

"Oh, no! What'll we do? We got ourselves a mini R.J.!" Lily gasped, cooing playfully over Lightning Chill's speech patterns and getting a laugh out of Theo, Dom, and Casey with Jarrod and Camille also chuckling at R.J.'s expense.

"Hey, come on, Lily, guys. Cool it, the vibes she's giving off aren't half-bad. Takes me back to the good ol' days," R.J. defended, already taking a liking to Lightning Chill.

"Yo, you speak my tongue, dude? You're not half-bad," Lightning Chill remarked with a beaming smile as she shared a fist bump with the Purple Wolf Ranger.

"Hey, Sis! What's shakin'?!" laughed Sisu as she, Pranee, Jagan, Pengu, and Amba got together with Jakanee and gave her a noogie, making the youngest of them laugh before they all shared loving hugs, nudges, and nuzzles.

"You're doing much better ever since you went with Sarah!" Pengu chuckled as he and Jakanee hugged each other.

"How's everything in Kumundra?" Jakanee asked her brother.

"Oh, you know, doing great now that everybody's not clobbering each other over the Dragon Gem and we dragons have our magic back. Having fun here, settling a scuffle there, nothing too crazy going on," Jagan joked.

"Hey, there. I'm Sunny and these are my friends: Izzy, Hitch, Misty, Zipp, and Pipp. You must be Sarah's friends from this Kumandra place she told us about," Sunny greeted Virana, Benja, their daughters, Noi and her Ongis, Boun, and Tong.

"How do you do?" Benja greeted kindly as he and Virana shook hands and hooves with her and Izzy.

"Great!"

"Yeah! Not only are we together again, we got ourselves great friends to last us for life, too! YIPPEE!" Izzy cheered, jumping up and down excitedly as Pinkie Pie looked at her and chuckled at the unicorn that supposedly got her happy-go-lucky nature from her.

"Yeah... Just try to dial the fun factor down so you don't embarrass us, okay?" Raya chuckled with an awkward smile.

"Come on, Raya, you know fun's the name of this game here. We're guests to a party celebrating this thing called 'Christmas'," said Boun, nudging Raya with a playful elbow.

"As crazy as it is, this celebration of things jolly and holly is not such a bad thing with the smiles on everyone's faces," Tong agreed, smiling at the people, Pokémon, dragons, and other creatures enjoying themselves.

"Hi, Mommy/Daddy!" chirped the Royal Mane 6 as they galloped over to Sarah and Race, hugging their legs and giving them excited grins and laughs.

"Well, hello there!"

"Have you been good while we're gone?" the married couple chuckled at them, returning their hugs and/or giving them soft noogies.

"Looks like we have both a long day and a long night ahead of us."

"And, speaking of nights, it's time for us to prepare for our Christmas show tonight with a certain dinosaur joining us and Sarah! Let's go~!" Pipp sang eagerly, reminding her friends and sister of Sarah's Christmas show and of Solon taking part in it.

"We'll look forward to it tonight," Namaari smiled warmly.

The new Mane 6 grinned brightly as they brought their hooves together and cheered loudly, "HOOVES TO HEART! YEEEEAAAAH!"

Evening came after a wild time of mingling and holiday fun for one and all, and minutes after dusk fell, the people gathered for the little princess' party flooded the streets of the main square of Hau'oli City for the show (joined by citizens and Pokemon from Poni, Akala, and Ula'Ula islands). And, as was the case, Richard and the Unova Movers were invited to participate in the big event.

Despite being given her most previous Secret Santa from Javi, Solon was nervous; her stage fright was kicking in again as she carefully peeped out from the curtains while everybody taking part in Sarah's Christmas show was wrapping up the final preparations. Granted, she was glad that she was going to sing with her friends and Dino Fury family joining her but she was afraid of choking at the last minute and forgetting the words in the process. And, worst of all, in her case, she was going to sing in front of a giant crowd.

"Oh, I don't know about this, Sarah. Are you sure you kids want me to sing these songs with you tonight?" Solon gulped as she looked over the list of songs she, Sarah, and their friends joining them were going to perform in her claws.

"Trust me, Solon. Javi and I talked it over with the others while we were rehearsing and we agreed to sing these songs with you through the songbook he gave you and the list I made," Sarah reassured as she came up alongside and tenderly held her right shoulder.

"Darling, you're going to do just fine," Rarity added as Pipp came over.

"Just live in the moment of the music and you're cool, you're not alone, remember?" Zipp's sister advised.

"Still, it makes me wish I was musical like you guys. I can't sing, I get bad stage fright, how can I possibly perform in front of everybody tonight?"

"I got it all worked out; I've made this belt and microphone based on the gadgets featured in the 'Isle of Dreams' video made for Carmen Cortez from Spy Kids 2," Sarah reassured the Solonosaurus as she produced a custom-made belt and wireless head stage microphone tailored for her alone, fixing them around her waist and on her head while making sure her spikes don't damage her head mike. "I even tweaked the stage mic I bought for you to work like the Machete Miracle Microphone and recreated the belt that helps Carmen to dance like Brittney Lopez with a magic touch on my end. Simple and privative but powerful and essential."

"You're actually going through with this and have your pony pals take center stage with you, Sarah?" Theo asked as he, Lily, Casey, and their team snuck in backstage to wish everybody involved in her show good luck while Sarah prepped the switch for Solon's equipment.

"Yeah, don't you think you're taking a daunting leap with this one by having a dinosaur added to your troupe for tonight?" Lily agreed.

"Where's your sense of showbiz buzz, Theo, Lily? You saw how the crowd reacted during the performance many of us, Richard, the Unova Movers, and Javi were in back at the Pokémon Circus that came to Alola months ago, they're used to it by now. How's a singing dinosaur gonna flip everybody off?" Sarah rebutted confidently to the blue Jungle Fury ranger.

"That's true. If we're gonna help her overcome her stage fright and get into the Christmas spirit, she needs this. Which is why we'll be kicking off our show with her and the number we've given her and we're going to sing along with her from the back," Jakanee agreed as she joined the group with her head mic set up.

"I'm more surprised you got Mr. I'm The Sheriff of people to perform another musical number given his...unique taste in music," Camille chuckled after she saw Hitch fidgeting with his headset and candy cane costume with Sunny and Zipp doing their best to help him get ready but also calm him down as his nerves were getting to him.

"Ahem! I'll have you know I've learned to have fun every once in a while and not be driven by my schedule 24/7 thanks to Sunny and our friends, thank you," Hitch replied indignantly.

"Sure, Hitch, we all know where you're going here with your work dynamic," grinned Sunny, getting a playful groan and smile from her duty-bound friend.

"People, people, hurry! Get to your places and take your seats with the audience if you're not performing! The show's about to start and we're on in five!" called Prinplup as he held up a clipboard and warned as he stood atop an empty barrel.

"Well, you heard the bluebird, guys. Five minutes until curtains," Jarrod grinned.

"Knock 'em dead and rock out, you guys," Casey encouraged as the other Jungle Fury rangers went back to the audience to watch the show.

"We'll be cheering for ya. Especially you, Solon, good luck out there!" called Dom, giving the Solonosaurus a thumbs up as they left.

"Thanks, Dom, I will," Solon nodded with a gulp as Zayto and the rest of the Dino Fury team arrived to check up on her one last time before they kicked off the show (after they had their holiday attire ready).

"Hey, Solon, ready to groove?"

"We're all set if you're ready to go," Zayto and Aiyon called as Javi went to the dinosaur and held her right shoulder gently in comfort.

"Don't worry, we and Sarah have everything ready for you since you're starting the show as our breakout star. We've all practiced hard and we've got all the words to our songs memorized and we got the songbook ready for you, too. And, with her equipment for you, you'll become a musical hit yourself by our power of family and friendship," smiled the black Dino Fury ranger reassuringly.

"Thanks, Javi, everyone. I just hope I don't choke and forget the words when I least expect it."

"You'll do just fine, Solon. We're all set on our end, your equipment is ready (and, yes, I did remember to put in some batteries for the control box), and we'll all be singing along with you. Now, take a breather, take your place in the show with stride, know that we're with you all the way, and above all, have fun," Sarah informed soothingly once she had the control box for her gear ready.

"You think so?"

"From what you told Gleam, Javi, Mom, Mint, Tsukumaro, Jupiter, and Dad after they filled us all in on everything, I know so."

"...….Okay, I'll do my best! Now, let's get out there and have some fun with holiday cheer after my number!" Solon grinned, brimming with excitement and confidence despite her stage fright and getting cheers out of her friends.

So, with Solon fighting against her stage fright through everyone's confidence in her and their playing and singing along with her, they all got themselves on the stage and readied themselves while Sarah took the initiative to greet everybody waiting and start the show with an opening monologue.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Pokémon, creatures, and dragons of all ages! Welcome to my Alola Christmas Power Party!" the little princess greeted, igniting the cheers of all that had gathered including all of her friends who were not performing and were closest to the stage.

"As we all know, the holidays are that time of year when we get to celebrate good times with friends no matter who we are, where we come from, what we do with our lives, and just learn to have fun and be happy with everyone! It's also a time when we get to recycle our childhood memories and what makes all of us so unique and happy as one big family through the connections we all make and the love we all share for each other. That is greatly reinforced through music as it can help create such bonds between us as it transcends boundaries, becomes a melting pot of fun and creativity, and it brings us closer together in ways we can't even explain. When music is played during the holiday season, the memories we all have of our childhoods come flooding back to us and it reminds us of a simpler time we used to live in, and despite what has happened in recent years, we learn that the most important thing we have is each other as friends and a family."

The crowd applauded as Sarah continued, "This is true because right now, we have a very special guest and her friends joining us from Pine Ridge to help us kick off our show of Christmas fun and holiday cheer with a special number that one of her friends and I think symbolizes her and her current situation perfectly. She's partly a cyborg by trade, a dinosaur by blood, but above all else, she's a great friend with a maternal love for her friends."

Then, as she brought out her control box for Solon's equipment and cleared her throat, she proudly finished, "And, now, performing for you live from Hau'oli City with her friends: Amelia Jones, Ollie Akana, Javi and Izzy Garcia, Zayto, Aiyon, and Richard and the Unova Movers...…. To kickstart our show of the season, please welcome Solon the Solonosaurus, performing the theme song of Disney's Zootopia by Shakira: 'Try Everything'!"

(Disney's Zootopia - Try Everything [ft. Shakira] (Original + DJ Paul Ripoll Remix))

Then, to a combination of the original song and the DJ Paul Ripoll Remix of Shakira's "Try Everything", the crowd watched as the curtains of the stage opened and Solon was shown with her belt and head mic and beginning to grove to the music despite her stage fright still in high gear. Behind her, at the back, were all her friends in the Dino Fury team along with Richard (who was the DJ for the show) and the Unova Movers helping to provide the music (and the lyrics for her albeit two giant screen monitors on either side of the stage) and with her on stage, are six background dancers to help her get the audience up-front dancing.

Solon (with Dino Fury Rangers on backup vocals): Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~

I messed up tonight, I lost another fight! Lost to myself, but I'll just start again~!
I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground! I always get up now, see what's next~!

Joined by the earth pony sheriff's animal friends, Hitch, Bounsweet, and Sparky slid onto the stage and joined the background dancers, getting big squeals from some girls who found all of them cute. And, while she sang, Solon slowly adapted to the song and the lyrics as she looked between her friends and the monitors out back.

Birds don't just fly, they fall down and get up~
Nobody learns without gettin' it wrong~

I won't give up, no, I won't give in~
'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again~
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything~
I wanna try even though I could fail~

Then, it was Edge Blade and Misty's turn to dance with their Pokémon joining them, their presence boosting Solon's confidence as she started to dance herself (while minding her tail and keeping herself from tripping the dancers over).

With Edge, she was joined by her Charizard: Furnace, her Pikachu: Surge, her Alolan Raichu, her Kantonian Ninetales: Inari, her Noctowl: Noche, her Ampharos: Amphy, her Beautifly: Silk, and her Kantonian Persian: Puma. Misty, on the other hand, was joined by her Mabostiff, her Alolan Ninetales, her Altaria, her Milotic, her Delcatty, her Flygon, her Hydreigon, her Dragonite, and her Haxorus.

But, while the two ponies are dressed up as two of Santa's elves, their Pokémon are all wearing holographic Tuxedo and Theater Style outfits modified to have a Christmas theme. The girls squealed from cuteness overload again but the rest of the audience cheered loudly for them instead.

I won't give up, no, I won't give in~
'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again~
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything~
I wanna try even though I could fail~

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Zayto & Aiyon: Try Everything~)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Ollie & Amelia Try Everything~)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Izzy & Javi: Try Everything~)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

As Solon and the Dino Fury Rangers repeated the beginning, Furnace, Silk, Altaria, Flygon, Hydreigon, Misty's Dragonite, and Noche flew into the air joined by Stormfly and Skystorm, Flystorm, and their children as the Deadly Nadders all released tiny sparks from their mouths to add real-live special effects to the holiday show.

Look how far you've come, you filled your heart with love
Baby, you've done enough, take a deep breath
Don't beat yourself up, no need to run so fast
Sometimes, we come last but we did our best

"WHOO-HOO! Alright, everybody, let's get ready to party! Let's see those hands and feel free to join in! Hit it, Richard!" Solon shouted to the audience as the background dancers hollered excitedly and clapped their hands and she turned to Richard, pointing at him to transition to the DJ Paul Ripoll Remix of "Try Everything".

"You got it, Solon!" smirked Richard as he worked his musical prowess on his Pioneer DJ DJM-A9 4-channel DJ Mixer while the others played along and the audience clapped along to the slightly sped-up music. "Give it up, Alola!"

Pipp and her Swanna are the next ones to appear but joining them are Raya, Namaari, and Virana in custom holiday outfits made for them by Rarity as they danced together. Then, Hitch, Bounsweet, and Sparky returned but this time, Izzy, Zipp, and Sunny joined them with Hawlucha, Maractus, Sugarcake, Siren, and Sugarcoat in addition to Sefu, Tamu, Drake, and Ryu for the instrumental bridge of the song. Gleam was with them as she used her magic to create some firecracker pops for additional special effects.

"Come on, Javi! Give me a hand and show 'em your stuff!" Solon continued, getting a smile out of Javi as he came up alongside her and was given his Keytar by Jakanee.

"Yeah! Look, everybody! That's my brother and Solon!" Izzy grinned as she kept playing.

I messed up tonight, I lost another fight! Lost to myself, but I'll just start again~!
I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground! I always get up now, see what's next~!

Birds don't just fly, they fall down and get up~
Nobody learns without gettin' it wrong~ (Gettin' it wrong)

Tom and the Rakke Town Riders then showed up as Solon joined them aboard Thunder and Sarah's Night Lights and the Night Furies combined their powers to create beautiful fireworks around them.

I won't give up, no, I won't give in~
'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again~
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything~
I wanna try even though I could fail~

Solon & Javi: I won't give up, no, I won't give in~
'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again~
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything~
I wanna try even though I could fail~

During the next instrumental bridge, Sarah (after putting away her control box for Solon's gear) and Race appeared together with Petunia and their dragonets by their side as they danced together with Hitch and Sparky. However, they were also joined by Zayto, Aiyon, and Ollie as they were in Santa costumes and having the time of their lives dancing with Javi and Solon (who was now fully enjoying herself and remembering the words to the song she was performing (with Amelia and Izzy (Green DF Ranger) feeling happy for her as they continued to play with Richard and the Unova Movers)).

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Izzy (Unicorn), Pipp, Zipp, & Amelia: Try Everything~)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Ollie, Sunny, Tamu, Zayto, & Misty Try Everything~)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Raya, Namaari, Izzy (Green DF Ranger), Richard, & Aiyon: Try Everything~)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Solon: I'll keep on making those new mistakes

Javi: I'll keep on making them every day

Solon & Javi: Those new mistakes

"Everybody!" Javi and Solon cheered, getting everybody in the audience to sing along just as Hitch and Race grabbed Sparky and Petunia before they threw them into the air and the baby dragons spun around each other while they giggled and let out their Dragonfire.

Solon: I won't give up, no, I won't give in~
'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again~

Javi: No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything~
I wanna try even though I could fail~

Solon & Javi: I won't give up, no, I won't give in~
'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again~
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything~
I wanna try even though I could fail~

Boun and Zipp then arrived, jumping through a Christmas Reed followed by Sisu, Pengu, Amba (who glowed all over), Pranee, Jakanee (sharing Amba's power), Ryu, Jagan, Drake, and Tamu before the pair climbed up some set-up chimney props and landed on the central chimney before they winked at the crowd.

Finally, everybody performing came from backstage for the final chorus of the song with Izzy (Unicorn), Pinkie, the Flying Type Pokemon, and the Eight Queens landing and Raya, Hiccup, Tom, Sunny, and Sarah appearing together (the latter two in their alicorn forms, Raya onboard Sisu, and the boys on Toothless and his Night Light: Thunder).

Lights flashed and sparks emitted from the G5 Mane 6's Unity Pins as they shone brightly and emitted a single rainbow across the stage, the crowd cheering excitedly as everybody performing gathered (Disney, Pokémon, dragon, mythical, and Power Ranger friends alike) came got together and sang happily. For Sarah and her family, they were with Javi and Solon at the front.

Everybody: I won't give up, no, I won't give in~*l
'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again~
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything~
I wanna try even though I could fail~

I won't give up, no, I won't give in~
'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again~
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything~
I wanna try even though I could fail~

Solon & Javi: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Sarah, Boun, Misty, Race, Hiccup, Fishlegs, Tong, & G4 Mane 6: Try Everything~)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Zayto, Pipp, Ollie, Izzy (Unicorn), & Aiyon, & Jakanee: Try Everything~)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Izzy (Green Ranger), Hitch, Edge Blade, & Amelia: Try Everything~)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Solon: Try Everything~

With that, Solon and Pinkie capped off the opening as the latter unleashed her party cannon, blowing off confetti and declaring Sarah's latest Christmas party a big success.

As a large platoon of fireworks went off in the back, the audience cheered loudly and excitedly for everyone gathered but many of them cheered the loudest for Solon as they threw roses and bouquets along with confetti and streamers in her direction; not only was the Solonosaurus given the best gift of all by every last one of her friends including Javi but they also helped her to become part of something bigger away from her team's time as Power Rangers.

Sarah also shared her joy as she watched her blood parents and blood grandparents cheer loudly for her in front of the audience because she was not only able to enjoy the holidays with all of her friends but also share them with her real family for the first time in over five centuries. That was the best gift she could ever have from anybody including Santa and she knew that with everyone's help, Solon got the greatest gift and Secret Santa she could ever have on her, Zayto, and Aiyon's first-ever Christmas.

Even Santa had to agree and he smiled broadly as he joined everybody on stage and capped off this chapter of the little princess' adventures with a holly and jolly, "HO-HO-HO-HO-HO! Merry Christmas to all! And, to all a good night with friends and family forevermore!"
