Ch 8

Welcome to the final chapter in The Question of Loyalty. This is the grand finale, and as such it will have an awesome fight scene, climactic showdown, and bring this story to a conclusion, one which I hope that you'll be happy with. This chapter is completely mine, it has not been based on any episode, I hope that you enjoy.

I would like to apologize for how long it has taken me to post this chapter, but I have been very busy these last few weeks with college. In the last two weeks I have had five tests, a research project to turn in, and a speech to do in front of a class of forty fellow students. I had wanted to post this chapter last weekend, but I was unable to do so, because I was working all that weekend on school work. Nonetheless, I present you with the last chapter in The Question of Loyalty.

I would like to take the time to thank all those that have reviewed, favorite, and placed this story on their story alerts. Specifically I'd like to thank those who have reviewed my last chapter: Aith1234, brankel1, Vodams, Young at Heart21, oldtvlover, Anora Blaze Trueheart, Red Lightning, and Ghostwriter.

Note: I do not own Power Rangers.

This chapter begins not immediately after the last one. Also the first part of the story is told from Caldazar and Ellisande's point of view, so keep your wits about you.

-Earth-

With the threat to his ranger's mate ended Caldazar felt as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. Things were always more intense when one's family was on the line. With the battle over Tommy had teleported down to the other rangers, where he was welcomed with open arms, and when Ellisande's ranger joined them, Tommy was given an affectionate hug from the Pink Ranger.

Looking around Caldazar caught sight of a few civilians with strange black boxes on their shoulders staring at the sight of the Green Ranger getting a hug from the Pink Ranger in open astonishment. Chuckling to himself Caldazar looked up at his mate. "I think that it's going to take these humans a long time to get used to me."

Ellisande chuckled as she watched the previously astonished reporters flee in terror as her mate moved his tail towards them. "I think that they would get used to you faster if you didn't purposefully frighten them." Ellisande said. "Besides, I think that they are more nervous of your ranger than they are of you. After all they only see us as robots."

Caldazar snorted in annoyance at that thought. "Whatever. But I guess that you do make a point about Tommy. Although I'm sure that they'll get used to the both of us in time."

"They might, but as I'm sure you've heard it won't be easy. Even if the rangers accept him, the city will still likely be very cautious of the both of you." Ellisande commented. "Now hurry up, it's time for us to go home. Why don't you bring your egg and we can stay at my island."

Caldazar grinned at the thought of spending some time with his mate and their un-hatched children. "Sounds good. Besides it will be nice to sleep on dry land for a change." Caldazar said as he made his way slowly back to the harbor.

"I would think that after ten thousand years as a zord you would have gotten used to sleeping under water."

"Yes and no. I am used to it but I also miss our cave. I am just glad that someday soon we'll be able to return to our own bodies, now that my ranger is working on a spell to reverse our transformation." Caldazar said as he looked longingly up at the sky.

"I know what you mean, I long to shed this metal and truly stretch my wings. I can only imagine what it's like for you to be without your wings." Ellisande said as she pondered her mate's situation.

"It's annoying and irritating beyond belief, but I know that I'll regain them soon enough. I'll see you at your island." Caldazar said as he entered the harbor's waters. Ellisande smiled down at her mate as she rocketed towards her island, eager to spend some more time with her dragon.

But when Caldazar reached his home under the waves he immediately noticed something was off. Reaching out with his energy and searching with his eyes he looked to see if there were any traps in his home, after a few minutes of searching he concluded that there were no traps. But then his eyes were drawn towards his most prized possession, his egg. Only to find that the spells that he had set in place to guard the egg, had somehow been severed; and more worrisome than the spells being slashed was that the egg was gone.

At Ellisande's island she made a similar discovery. Both her egg, and her friend's egg were missing. In response to this horrifying discovery both zords let out a cry of pain and rage at the loss of their still to be born children.

Back in the city, the rangers had all demorphed and had begun to make their way towards the Youth Center to celebrate their victory, but as they were walking past an alley both Tommy and Kimberly suddenly clutched their heads in pain.

"Hey Tommy, Kimberly are you two alright?" Trini asked with worry clear in her voice, as she watched her friends continue to clutch their heads in pain

Painfully raising their heads Tommy and Kimberly caught each other's eyes and suddenly a flash of insight hit both rangers. "The eggs!" Kimberly shouted before both her and Tommy were teleported away in a flash of light of their respective colors.

Glancing around fearfully the rangers began to look around to see if anyone had noticed their two friends teleporting. Luckily it seemed that everyone was too focused on making speculations on the Green Ranger. With that problem taken care of Jason led his team into the alley so that they could try to find out what happened.

"Okay what was that about?" Zack asked once they were safely in the alley.

Billy shrugged his shoulders, knowing that the question was directed towards him. "I am not entirely sure why they teleported. But I am one hundred percent sure that neither Kim nor Tommy teleported on their own free will." Billy's suggestion gave Jason and Trini pause as they both recalled the time Jason was teleported into Goldar's clutches.

"How can you be sure?" Trini asked.

"I am sure because we know that Tommy is somehow able to teleport on his own, but every time he does so he vanishes and reappears in either a burst of green lightning or white fire; while this time he vanished in a flash of green light. So this leads me to speculate that he did not teleport of his own free will; someone or something else teleported him. As for Kimberly, it is simple she teleported at the exact same instant that our green compatriot did, leading me to believe that she was likely teleported by the same person or thing that took Tommy away." Billy said.

Jason and Zack stared at their blue friend as their minds worked on decoding what he said. Trini sighed and shortly explained what he said. "Tommy didn't teleport the way he normally does and odds are that Kim was teleported by the same person, seeing as they both disappeared at the same time. I suggest that we give Zordon a call and get his opinion and help."

Jason gave a nod and a smile of thanks to his girl before he contacted their leader. "Zordon we need your help. Tommy and Kimberly just disappeared while we were walking."

"Rangers I'm teleporting you all to the Command Center. You need to see what is about to happen." Zordon said ominously.

Seconds later the rangers found themselves standing in the Command Center. Jason quickly stepped forward, intent on finding the answers to what was going on. "Zordon, do you know what happened to Tommy and Kimberly?"

Zordon looked out from his interdimensional warp tube at his rangers. And after nodding towards Alpha he began to explain. "Rangers, what is about to happen is without a doubt the most important moment in the war against Rita."

Jason looked at his friends and receiving nods of confirmation he turned his attention back to their leader. "Then tell us what to do, and we will make sure that Rita is stopped."

Looking down on his ranger's Zordon felt a rush of pride. "I thank you for your dedication, but the battle that is about to be fought will not be fought by any of you. This fight must be fought by Tommy and Kimberly, and their zords. Turn your attention towards the viewing globe. If I am right then you will be among the few that will ever know about the most important battle in this war." The rangers solemnly and nervously turned their attention to the viewing globe and watched.

-Ellisande's Island-

Tommy and Kimberly found themselves standing on a volcanic island before their zords. Ellisande stood on Caldazar's shoulder glaring at the sky with more hatred than either ranger had ever seen, while Caldazar stood looking out towards the moon with, his eyes burning with a rage that equaled his mate's hate.

Kimberly and Tommy glanced at each other, and after a silent conversation, Tommy stepped forward and began to question the zords. "Caldazar. Ellisande. What's going on, why have you brought us here?"

As the two zords turned their attention to their rangers, much of their hatered and rage dimmed upon seeing their rangers "You are here because we need your help." Caldazar rumbled.

"Does this have anything to do with the eggs?" Kimberly asked.

Both zords' eyes flashed in anger as they recalled the recent theft of their children. Ellidande was the one to answer Kimberly. "During the last battle someone snuck into our homes and took our eggs. We fear that it might have been Rita."

Tommy looked to Caldazar for confirmation, to which the dragon gave with a reluctant nod, knowing how hard this would be for his ranger. "I'm sorry Tommy, but I sensed Goldar's energy in my underwater home. And I know for a fact that he would never do anything so foolhardy and dangerous without being ordered to, and Goldar's loyalties lie only with Riat, Zedd, and Scorpina."

"Why would Rita want to take your eggs? Ellisande, you told me that they will only hatch for the right person, and I highly doubt that they will hatch for anyone under Rita's employ. So why would she take them?" Kimberly questioned.

Tommy answered the question with a far off voice, his world thrown into confusion by his mother's actions. "Most likely Rita took the eggs so as to force me and Cladazar back into her service. She won't hurt the eggs, but she very well might find a way to corrupt the children inside."

"Alright, so there's no time to lose. What are we going to do and how do we get them back?" Kimberly asked, ready to take on Tommy's possessed mother to retrieve her 'big sister's' eggs. (1)

"We need a way to get to the moon." Ellisande said. "While we can teleport, we only have a limited range and the moon is far beyond that."

"Why's that?" Kimberly asked.

Caldazar growled out in annoyance before answering. "When Zordon changed us into zords, he gave us great power, but he also limited the range of our abilities. We can teleport you two to us from pretty much anywhere, but we cannot teleport ourselves anywhere beyond Earth. Zordon wanted guardians of Earth, not free roaming creatures of power."

"Well what if I ask Zordon to teleport us up to the moon. I'm sure that he would be able to help us out." Kimberly suggested.

Again Tommy was the one to answer the question, although his voice still possessed a far off quality. "I think you're forgetting something Kimberly." The Pink Ranger threw Tommy a puzzled look. "You told me about the rules of being a Power Ranger. Never use your powers for personal gain. Never escalate a battle unless necessary, and never reveal your secret identity. The only good rule he has is to keep your identity a secret, as long as one is willing to accept the consequences for one's actions then the other rules are useless. And besides he can't take either of our powers." Kimberly nodded reluctantly seeing where Tommy was going with this. "Now what Caldazar and Ellisande are suggesting is to storm my mom's palace and take back their children by force. This is a perfectly natural reaction by any parent. But Zordon will likely see it not only too aggressive, but also a misuse of powers. So he will probably be unwilling to help. He would most likely try to negotiate first, but I know my mother, she is a greedy person, and once she views something as hers she will hold onto it with all her might."

Unbidden a thought occurred to Kimberly; 'what does that say about you then?'

"So how do you propose to get us up to the moon?" Ellisande asked; her patience fast wearing out as her fear for her children ate at her.

Tommy lowered his head as his thoughts and doubts began to swarm. 'I need to help them they're my family. But I can't go against my mom, she's my family too. After all she did take care of me for my entire life so far; wait that was not real, that's a memory that she planted in my mind. I grew up in orphanages across California not in that prison. But beyond that, can I even teleport all of us up to the moon? I mean I've never tried to move anything or anyone this big.' Tommy thought as he quickly took a look at both Caldazar and Ellisande. 'Not to mention we just fought a battle not even an hour ago, and I used a lot of energy to fuel Caldazar's flames.'

Doubt was beginning to cloud his head, in search of some hope and reassurance Tommy cast his gaze about and his eyes rose to meet Caldazar's. In the dragon's eyes Tommy saw the confidence that his friend and brother had in him. But still a lingering doubt ate at the back of his mind, stopping Tommy from fully committing to and helping his new family. "I can send you guys to the moon."

Kimberly looked to Tommy and as she caught his eyes she could see both the doubt and confusion swimming in his mind. "Are you sure that's what you want to do?" Kimberly asked, hearing what he had left out. Reluctantly Tommy nodded his head.

"You might want to morph. I'm pretty sure that there will be a welcoming party when you get there." Tommy said causing Kimberly to nod.

With a renewed sense of vigor Kimberly reached for her morpher only to take out her power coin. With the coin in her hand Kimberly closed her eyes and reached out for the power. Grasping hold of it she let the power wash over her. Waves of pink energy rushed out from the coin and quickly began covering her in her pink armor. In seconds she had completed her first willing morph without her morpher.

Tommy watched as Kimberly made her way towards Ellisande, who lowered her head so that her ranger could enter the cockpit. Once all three were ready Tommy raised his hands and reaching deep into his power he began the teleportation spell. After a few second of preparation, during which his body began to glow a bright green, Tommy cast the spell. The spot where Caldazar, Ellisande, and Kimberly were standing erupted in a massive burst of emerald lightning signaling that the three had departed for the moon. Looking towards the moon which had begun to rise into the sky, Tommy felt like the weight of the world was crushing down on him.

-Moon-

Seconds later Kimberly, Ellisande, and Caldazar found themselves standing on the moon in front of Rita's Lunar Palace. The ancient stone building was lit up with bright purple glows, due largely to the magic that was being preformed within the walls of the ancient building. But their way towards the palace was blocked by both Goldar and Scorpina, both of which were already in their giant forms.

"Well well well, look at what we have here Scorpina. It seems as if the parents want their precious children back." Goldar called out to the giant scorpion, to which Scorpina gave a cackle expressing her amusement at the desperation of the two zords.

"You're going to pay Goldar for stealing their eggs!" Kimberly shouted from Ellisande's cockpit.

"Is that the pink power puke that I hear? Where's your little green friend? Don't tell me that he sent his 'family' to face us by themselves while he stayed behind, safe and sound." Goldar mocked.

"Don't you mock Tommy, he'll come for us. And then you'll be sorry."

"Don't fool yourself little girl." Goldar said dead serious all of a sudden. "That boy you love is far more messed up than any of us know. Do you have any idea what it's like to live with two lifetime's worth of memories that disagree with each other at nearly every point?" Goldar paused to let the question settle in the heroes' minds. "Do you know what it's like to crave the love of a mother and father all of your life? You don't know that feeling; you, who have always been accepted, will never know the desperate ache for unconditional acceptance. Tommy will never join you, because no matter what the cost he will never abandon his true family."

Kimberly felt her blood boil as Goldar's slurs against Tommy continued to spew forth, but it was Caldazar who reacted first. Roaring out a challenge Caldazar defended his ranger's honor. "My ranger knows the truth. I have faith that he will join us. He knows what is true and who truly loves him." Caldazar said as he gestured to Kimberly. "But that is irrelevant, we came for our family."

"Now give us back our children!" Ellisande finished for Caldazar.

Scorpina and Goldar chuckled as they heard the zords demands. "I think not. After all you are playing on our turf now." Goldar said with a wicked grin before both he and Scorpina charged the two zords and lone Power Ranger.

Ellisande, with Kimberly in the cockpit, leapt off of Caldazar's shoulder and took off into the 'sky' to prepare for her attack. With Ellisande's weight off of his shoulder Caldazar rushed into battle, eager to make the two thieves pay for stealing his children.

From the 'sky' Kimberly watched as Caldazar pivoted and swung his mighty tail around and knocked Scorpina off of her feet and sent her tumbling down to the moon's surface. Unfortunately Goldar was able to slide under the Caldazar's attack, and launch a quick slash at the dragon's back. Roaring in anger, Caldazar whipped his body around and delivered a mighty slash to Goldar's chest. Stumbling back from the blow, Goldar prepared to charge Caldazar, only to bring himself to a halt as Ellisande opened fire with her laser cannons and pelted Goldar's vulnerable wings with cannon fire, causing the gold titan to turn and face the diving pterodactyl. But with his back turned Caldazar moved forward and prepared to kick Goldar in the back to bring the golden warrior to the ground where he might bring the gold titan to a quick end.

But in his rage against Goldar, Caldazar had forgotten about Scorpina, who had quickly recovered from her fall and had been sneaking up on the dragon. With his attention occupied by Goldar, Scorpina leaped up and onto Caldazar's back, whereupon she grabbed his hands with her pincers and wrenched them to the sides, leaving him open for a counter-attack by Goldar.

Once Ellisande had pulled out of her dive, Goldar turned his attention back onto Caldazar. And when the gold titan discovered that the great dragon was temporarily immobilized a wicked grin crossed his face. Flourishing his blade Goldar rushed the dragon, fully prepared to skewer the great zord on his blade. But Goldar had forgotten Caldazar's incredibly flexible tail, which lunged out from behind the dragon and speared into Goldar's side. Thrown off by the quick attack by Caldazar, Goldar quickly found himself on his back gasping breath as he struggled to regain his strength.

But with Scorpina on his back slashing and stinging him, Caldazar was in no position to finish him off. Goldar let a grin cross his face as he saw Scorpina land a particularly painful sting to the dragon, causing him to let out a roar trumpeting his pain to the barren moon. It was at that time that Ellisande began her next attack run. When the pink pterodactyl saw her mate in trouble she angled herself around and unleashed a barrage of lasers that impacted against Scorpina's unprotected and unguarded back. Letting out a hiss of pain Scorpina released Caldazar and scurried away from the dragon, only to find herself quickly dangling from Ellisande's claws. A few seconds later the pink zord released the hideous scorpion sending it crashing into the ground near Goldar.

With his partner temporarily down Goldar climbed to his feet, and ignited his sword, causing golden flames to dance along the blade of the weapon. With his flaming sword Goldar sent arcs of flame towards the two zords.

Kimbelry glared down at Goldar from her cockpit. With a quick mental conversation to Ellisande, Kimberly was teleported onto Ellisande's wing, where upon Ellisande began to circle the battle field. Summoning her bow to herself Kimberly charged an arrow with her energy, causing the missile to glow a bright pink. Taking aim at the flame swinging titan Kimberly released the arrow, which when coupled with the extra energy, and the extra g's generated by Ellisande's circling, the arrow quickly gained speed and when it impacted against Goldar's hand, the energy stored in the arrow released and caused Goldar to involuntarily drop his sword. Smiling to herself in satisfaction Kimberly teleported back into the cockpit.

With Goldar's flames currently extinguished Caldazar charged towards the golden titan. As he closed with Goldar, Caldazar noticed that Scorpina had recovered her wits and had regained her feet. With both enemies together and waiting Caldazar raised his hands and prepared to fire his rockets at the duo. But before he could fire, a purple beam of magic fired from the Lunar Palace nailing Caldazar in the side and sending him to the ground in pain. Apparently Rita had decided to aid her minions.

With his foe on the ground in pain Goldar grabbed his blade and began to stalk towards the injured zord. "You see dragon, this is how it's meant to be; the noble knight victoriously triumphing over vicious dragon."

"In what possible universe could you ever be a noble knight?" Caldazar mocked. Goldar snarled at the injured zord and raised his sword preparing to finish off the dragon once and for all. When all of a sudden Caldazar raised himself up and with a quick jerk of his head he slashed Goldar across the chest with his bladed dorsal fin, leaving a deep mark on the golden warrior's armor. "Don't count me out of the fight just yet."

-Tommy' Mind-

As Tommy sat on the edge of the outcropping on the white mountain that dominated the skyline of the island that was his mind, he found himself staring down at Caldazar's cave that sat at the edge of the bay, and he let his mind drift.

His heart ached to go up there and help his 'brother' reclaim his children, but at the same time he couldn't make himself go to not only Caldazar's aide, but also to Ellisande's and especially Kimberly's. He was caught between his loyalties. His loyalty to his mother dictated that he should defend her. But at the same time he knew that his mother was planning on enslaving the earth and adding it to her evil empire. While his loyalty towards Caldazar, Ellisande, and Kimberly demanded that he help them rescue the eggs. But with both loyalties tugging at him in opposite directions he didn't know which to choose. Sighing in both exhaustion and frustration Tommy let himself fall to his back to stare at the sky. But as he stared at the sky he noticed a flash of movement out of the corner of his eye.

Turning to see what had moved in his mind Tommy was stunned to see the previously sleeping falcon stretching his wings. After a minute of stretching the white falcon turned its bright golden eyes onto the green eyed teen, fixing Tommy with a predatory stare. "What are you doing here?"

Quickly regaining his senses Tommy stood to his feet and made his way to the falcon. "What do you mean? And who are you?"

The falcon looked annoyed at Tommy's questions, as its feathers became ruffled. "I am Gwaithir, your Ninjetti Spirit. But who and what I am is irrelevant as to what you are doing. Why are you here, when you should be helping out your family?"

Tommy sighed and ran his hands through his hair in exasperation. "That's the problem. What family do I help? My birth family, or the one that I'm creating? Which should I choose, should I help my mother, or should I go and save Kimberly, Caldazar, and Ellisande?"

Gwaithir leveled another glare at his human after he had finished settling his feathers. "Why is this a hard decision Tommy? Tell me what loyalty do you owe to that woman you call mother. Rita has abandoned you, kidnapped you, tortured you, and brainwashed you. She's made you fight not only your new friends, nearly to their destruction. But she also made you fight your mate when she fully knew the consequences of what would happen if you destroyed her. Rita is a evil selfish witch who does not want you the way you are, no she wants her evil son back. Rita is not your mother; you are the son of Leanna and Alric." Flapping himself out of his nest and onto a pointed rock Gwaithir closed with his human to drive his point home. "And I don't know about you but I like who I am. I am no pigeon to be led by a string and neither are you. We are hunters, predators. With few exceptions, we follow no one's commands except ourselves and our mate's. You have a dragon's power, and the spirit of a falcon, and yet you sit here when you let your family face mortal peril while you ponder an easy question."

"You let the one who has watched over you since the day you were born go do battle for his family. Your own brother and guardian is out there right now fighting with everything that he has to rescue his children, and what do you do?" Gwaithir asked causing Tommy to look down in shame as the Ninjetti Spirit's words pounded into him. "That's right you stand here hiding away from one of the most important choices that you will likely ever make. I can't make the decision for you, but just remember what you stand to lose if Rita wins this time."

"That witch parading around in your mother's body will destroy Caldazar and Ellisande without a second thought. The eggs will likely become twisted by Rita's dark magic forcing the children to become something that they were never meant to be. And let's not forget about Kimberly and Amara. (2) Rita will kill our mates for no reason except that they loved us, and helped to release us from the chains that she bound us with. So what's it going to be Tommy? What are you going to choose?" Gwaithir challenged his human.

-Moon-

As the fight with Goldar and Scorpina progressed, the outcome was becoming clearer. While Caldazar could battle Goldar easily on an even playing field, the terrain was working greatly towards the gold titan. Specifically, Goldar had begun to spring traps that he had set up previously on the moon. And while the traps were slowing Caldazar down, the biggest hindrance in his fight against Goldar, was that Rita kept throwing blasts of magic at the great dragon causing a lot of damage and pain to Caldazar, yet still he soldiered on, determined to rescue his children.

While the fight between Ellisande and Kimberly against Scorpina was going more favorably for the rescuers. With Scorpina 'earthbound' Ellisande was free to strafe the giant scorpion without much worry. Although Kimberly had noticed on one of their earlier passes that Scorpina had managed to land a large shot of acid onto her zord's wing, which was steadily eating through Ellisande's armor.

As Goldar strode towards the wary and weary dragon he took the opportunity to mock his opponent again. "Give up dragon. There is no way that you and your mate can beat us, even with the help of the puny Pink Ranger you are no match for us now that the queen has decided to take part in the battle. Face it dragon, you are finished."

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Ellisande screeched as she dive bombed Goldar, tackling the great golden giant to the ground, where she proceeded to peck at him with her beak and beat at him with her wings. With Goldar occupied with Ellisande, Kimberly teleported to the top of Ellisande's head where she readied an arrow brimming with pink energy, taking aim Kimberly released the arrow straight at Goldar's eye.

With reflexes born out of long combat, Goldar twisted his head out of the way and let the arrow impact against the moon's surface, causing a small explosion as the energy stored within the arrow detonated, with the threat of blindness over Goldar teleported out from under the furious pterodactyl zord.

Calldazar watched in horror as Goldar raised his sword in preparation to split Ellisande and Kimberly in half. Quickly he raised his hands and launched his rockets, only for the missiles to run into a shot of acid that quickly ate through the rockets casing and causing them to explode before they reached Goldar.

Grinning evilly, Goldar brought down his sword, in time to watch as Ellisande and Kimberly turned to look with wide eyes as the blade of their destruction swiftly approached. But Goldar's glee vanished as his sword was repulsed by a green diamond shaped shield. Goldar stepped back from the shield in shock, looking down at the ground he noticed Tommy standing on the moon, morphed as the Green Ranger, with his hand raised high shielding Kimberly and Ellisande.

"Tommy!" Kimberly shouted, as she leapt from her spot on Ellisande's head and down to Tommy to wrap him in a hug. "I knew you'd come."

Tommy eagerly returned the hug before whispering into Kim's ear. "Sorry I'm late, but I needed a little guidance from a bird."

"You! How dare you stand against your mother boy? You need to learn your place." Goldar accused.

"I know my place Goldar; and its right beside these guys!" Tommy said as he gestured to Kimberly, Caldazar and Ellisande. "Now let us in or else." Tommy threatened.

In response both Goldar and Scorpina readied themselves to defend the entryway into the palace. Tommy shrugged before he released Kimberly and teleported himself to the top of Caldazar's head. Placing his hand against Caldazar's armored skull, Tommy began to feed energy into Caldazar, helping to both energize the tired zord, as well as to repair his damaged armor. "Sorry I'm late brother."

"I'm just glad that you made the right choice in time." Caldazar rumbled out, as he felt himself being restored. "Now let's finish this fight."

Tommy nodded as he leapt from the top of Caldazar's head and onto the moon below. Gathering his power Tommy preformed the one Ninjetti technique that he had mastered. In flash of white flames and energy Tommy once again stood as tall as Goldar. Reaching for his holster Tommy drew forth the Dragon Dagger and prepared to fight.

With Scorpina and Goldar distracted by Tommy's sudden appearance Ellisande and Kimberly took the opportunity to take off and escape to the 'sky' where they could do the most damage. Circling high in the air Kimberly and Ellisande waited for the opportunity to attack. Ellisande caught Caldazar's gaze and began another attack run, raking Goldar and Scorpina's backs with laser fire. Shuddering in pain the giants turned to the attack and began to deflect the pterodactyl's fire, only to leave their backs open to the Green Ranger and his zord.

With a nod to each other, both Tommy and Caldazar rushed the occupied giants. Caldazar took the lead and after activating the drill on his tail, he pivoted around whipping his drill tipped tail across Goldar and Scorpina's backs, damaging them even further. Tommy leapt up into the air and lashed out with both legs hitting the giants in their heads, and sending them to the ground in a crumpled heap. Caldazar strode forward and raised a massive foot above the back of the golden warrior. With great force Caldazar began to stomp Goldar into the ground.

Tommy turned his attention to the recovering Scorpina, who had managed to get to her hands and knees. Tommy raised his dagger and charged the blade with energy, causing it to glow a brilliant green. With a few quick slashes Tommy sent out three crescent shaped arcs of green energy crashing into Scorpina's back, causing the hideous creature to let out a loud his of pain. Stepping forward Tommy pointed his dagger at Scorpina's back and sent arcs of lightning at the giant arachnid. (3) To add onto the scorpion's punishment Ellisande and Kimberly came in and let loose another round of laser fire onto the scorpion's back.

In a manner of minutes neither warrior could take the abuse anymore, and the spell that made them grow was shattered, causing the two warriors to shrink back down to their original size and form. Picking themselves off the ground Goldar and Scorpina looked up to see a predatory gleam in both Caldazar and Ellisande's eyes as they took sight of those that stole their children. "Goldar, I think now would be a good time for us to run." Scorpina said as Ellisande landed and made her way next to her mate.

"Right you are my dear." Goldar said as both he and Scorpina ran away from the zords.

Tommy released the Ninjetti technique and in a flash of white flames he had returned to his normal size. Kimberly quickly leapt from Ellisande's cockpit landing next to Tommy as her zord made off to chase the shrunken warriors. "We better hurry, it won't take Rita too long to recast the spell on Goldar and Scorpina." Tommy said as he ran for the Lunar Palace.

Kimberly, keeping pace with Tommy was quick to ask. "But after all that damage, would they even be ready to fight again so soon?"

"Not really, but Rita won't care. As long as she win's this fight she's willing to accept almost any casualties." Tommy said as they entered the palace.

Kimberly nodded in understanding. In silence the two teens ran down the halls, towards Rita's throne room. But as they approached the main hallway they noticed that it was filled to the brim with hundreds of putties and a few monsters that Kimberly had faced before. "I should have known." Kimberly said as she summoned her bow to her hand. Tommy chuckled and drew his dagger.

Drawing her bow back, Kimberly charged an arrow with a huge amount of energy causing the arrow to glow bright as the stars dancing in the sky. Taking aim Kim released the arrow directly at the mass of putties. But instead of only destroying a single putty or erupting in an explosion of energy, the arrow lanced through the field of putties, wiping out any putty that stood in the path of the arrow, until finally reaching the back wall the arrow stuck into the stone of the palace before erupting in a blaze of pink energy, destroying all putties within a five foot radius of the arrow. Kimberly turned to Tommy with a smile crossing her face beneath her helmet. "I've gotten a lot better with my weapon."

Tommy was impressed by the damage done, but he could tell that Kim was running low on energy. "Not bad. Now how about I finish off the monsters, and then we can finish off the rest of them." Kim nodded in agreement as she readied herself for the upcoming melee. Tommy raised his left hand up and in the palm of his hand a small green orb of energy began to take form, quickly becoming the size of a softball. With the orb of energy in hand, Tommy took aim and launched the orb of emerald energy at the group of monsters in the middle of the putties. As the orb impacted, it exploded in a furious burst of energy destroying all the monsters and a few putties that stayed too close to them.

The putties having suffered the loss of several of their own, and the monsters that were supposed to lead them in defense of the throne room, charged the two rangers, intent on stopping them from reaching their mistress. Tommy and Kimberly gave each other a look before charging the army of putties, with their weapons glowing brightly with their colors.

Kimberly waded into the rushing putties and with a few quick twirls and slashes with her bow, the putties before her fell to the ground, where they laid dead to the world. Dancing and leaping among the army of putties using her bow to destroy any of Rita's minions that got too close, Kim made her way to the doorway leading into the throne room.

Meanwhile Tommy raced through the army of minions intent on saving his brother's children. Any putty that came near Tommy was quickly dealt with by the Dragon Dagger. The dagger seemed to glow with a near feral fury as Tommy used it to kill any and all putties that stood in his way. In a matter of minutes both Tommy and Kimberly had reached the end of the hallway and stood before the throne room. Behind them the bodies of the fallen putties flashed as the decayed from their animated form, and returned to the clay from which they were made.

"Ready for this Tommy?" Kim asked as she struggled to regain her breath.

"Give me a minute. I'm running low on energy." Tommy said as he rested against a wall. This day had been extremely exhausting. A big fight earlier today, combined with teleporting two zords and Kimberly to the moon, repairing Caldazar's armor, using his Ninjetti growth technique to fight Goldar and Scorpina, not to mention all the battle magic and energy he had been throwing around during the fights. All in all Tommy felt ready to drop, but he wouldn't stop now.

"Are you going to be alright?" Kimberly asked, worry clear in her voice.

Tommy gave her a nod as he pulled himself off the wall and made his way to the large rune covered black marble doors. After readying their weapons Tommy sent Kimberly a look, to which she drew her bow and fired an arrow at the lock of the doors, shearing straight through the large bolt before it continued on its way into the room beyond. Tommy sent a nod of thanks to Kimberly before he charged his dagger with some energy causing it to glow a soft green. Crouching low Tommy leaped up to the top of the doors where he proceeded to thrust his dagger into the door's crack before dragging the blade down with him, cutting through the bars that kept the door closed, as well as slicing through any and all spells that were placed upon the door.

With the door unlocked and dispelled of any magical traps, the way forward was open. Tommy grabbed the handle of one of the doors and Kim grabbed the other, in unison the two rangers pulled the massive black marble doors open. Again readying their weapons Tommy and Kimberly carefully made their way through the doorway, on the lookout not only for more dangers and traps, but also for the eggs.

And there they found them. All three eggs sitting together on a pile of hay safe and sound, underneath a purple barrier of magic. Each egg was about a foot tall and about four or five inches wide, but despite their size, both rangers knew their importance. As the two rangers approached the glowing barrier Tommy tried to get a feel for what kind of spells that were woven to protect the eggs. As he and Kimberly circled the bright barrier he could feel a great amount of magic sustaining the shield, and he knew that if he and the others had any hope of getting off the moon, then he'd need to find a different way than usual to break the spell.

"What's the matter Tommy?" Kim asked as she noticed Tommy glaring at the barrier.

"This shield. Rita placed a great deal of magic into it and knowing her a lot of traps as well. If I break it like I have been doing to all her other spells, then I won't have enough energy to teleport us all back." Tommy said as he continued to glare at the shield.

As Tommy stood in front of the barrier thinking of a way to get to the eggs Kimberly heard two familiar voices quickly approaching, giving her an idea. "Tommy." Kimberly whispered drawing the Green Ranger's attention away from the magic barrier and to herself. Bringing her head close to his helmet, Kimberly whispered her plan in Tommy's ear, causing a wide smile to cross his face.

"That's brilliant Kim." And in a few seconds he had set up the illusion Kim had suggested as well as cloaking themselves in an illusion that made it seem as if they were invisible. And a minute later two more people entered the great chamber.

"I'm telling you Squat, that this is a good idea." Said Baboo.

"I know, I know, it's just that the queen specifically told us to not interfere with this plan of hers. If she finds out that we have been lurking around, then she'll have our hides." Squat replied to his taller companion.

"Oh hush now Sqaut. After all we are only patrolling the palace. It's not as if we have actually done anything to interfere with the queen's plans. Now be quiet, we are approaching where Rita has placed the eggs, so be careful not to activate any of the traps that she has placed."

"I understand Baboo. Uh hey Baboo, why aren't the eggs under the barrier?"

"What are you talking about?" Baboo asked, as he turned to look at where the eggs were supposed to be, only to see hay instead of the dragon and pterodactyl eggs. Looking towards the entrance he noticed that the doors were pushed open, and the spells that guarded the doors were severed and cut. "Ahh! Squat hurry we need to check out what happened to the eggs."

Squat wobbled towards the barrier and as he reached into his pouch he pulled out some powder and tossed it onto the barrier causing it to fizzle out, leaving the eggs exposed. But as soon as the barrier was down Baboo and Squat were painfully made aware that they weren't the only ones in the chamber.

In seconds the two minions found themselves flying through the air as both the Green and Pink Rangers left their illusion cover and sent two kicks at the minions sending them crashing into the far wall. Baboo and Squat watched as the two rangers quickly gathered the eggs into their arms and made their way out of the chamber.

"Hey Baboo?"

"Yeah, Squat?"

"We're going to be in trouble when this is all over."

"Yeah."

-With Tommy and Kimberly-

"I can't believe that worked." Kimbely said as she ran through the halls of the Lunar Palace with Ellisands and Caldazar's eggs in her and Tommy's arms.

"Are you kidding that plan couldn't have worked any better." Tommy replied, excitement coursing through his veins as he felt victory within their grasp.

Kim felt herself blush at Tommy's praise. "Well it only worked because we were dealing with Baboo and Squat. Anyway we've dealt with four of Rita's minions, all that's left is Finster right?"

"Yeah, but I doubt that we will run into him. After all he is more along the lines of a scientist and doctor as opposed to a fighter. We should probably let Caldazar and Ellisande know that we're on our way out." Tommy suggested.

Kimberly nodded and reaching out with her mind she contacted Ellisande. "We're on our way out; we got all three eggs, so hurry and make your way back to the Palace entrance." In response Kimberly got the equivalent of a mental nod of confirmation from her zord.

"Alright, Ellisande is on her way." Kimberly said as they rounded a corner only to be met with another wall of purple energy. "You have to hand it to Rita; she's persistent if nothing else."

Tommy shifted the egg he was carrying to his left arm, allowing him to free up his right hand. Reaching for his dagger Tommy channeled a bit of energy into the blade causing it to glow green, stepping forward he slashed at the purple wall of energy causing it to dissipate into the air. With the way out once again cleared Tommy and Kimberly made their way towards the Lunar Palace's main entrance.

Five minutes later and several walls of energy destroyed; the two rangers had reached the entrance of the palace, where they could see Caldazar and Ellisande eagerly awaiting both their children and their rangers. Spurned on further by the sight of their friends Tommy and Kimberly ran faster, only to skid to a stop as Rita stepped out of the shadows and between them and their zords.

"Well done Tommy. I must say that I am impressed by your resourcefulness. But I'm afraid that you won't be going any further." Rita said as she hefted her wand.

"You haven't won yet Rita!" Kimberly shouted.

Rita snapped her attention towards the Pink Ranger and glared at the girl. "Ah Kimberly, my least favorite Power Ranger, always you've had your friends to help you, but now you and my son have walked right into my home. While it's true that your powers are growing there is no way that you and my exhausted son have a chance at beating me." Rita said as she raised her wand and shot a blast of magic at the Pink Ranger.

Kimberly quickly pivoted away from the blast of magic and tried to make a break for the zords. Only to run into another wall of energy conjured up by Rita. As Kimberly fell onto her back Rita raised her wand in preparation to eliminate the pink brat for good when Tommy suddenly dashed between them.

"Take your best shot Rita, I'm not afraid of you." Tommy declared as he raised his Dragon Dagger to his helmet. Rita scowled at her son's defiance and shot another blast of magic at him, not enough to cause lasting harm, but enough to knock him unconscious. But she had forgotten about the Dragon Shield.

Tommy quickly played a specific tune on the Dragon Dagger, causing his gold vest to glow a bright green which easily reflected the blast of magic back at Rita, causing the witch to hastily throw up a shield of magic to take the blast.

"Well done Tommy. I had forgotten how good your personal defenses were; but I do wonder how good your little girlfriend's are." Rita said with a twisted grin crossing her face as she leveled her wand at the recovered Pink Ranger.

Kimberly watched in stunned horror as her enemy, Tommy's own mother, launched a series of purple blasts at her. As the blasts neared Kimberly Tommy resigned himself to what was about to come.

Rita watched in satisfaction as her son quickly raised a green shield between her magic blasts, shielding both the pink brat and the two eggs that she carried. As the shield was lowered Rita let out a loud cackle as she saw her victory at hand.

Kimberly stood there unnerved as the evil witch that she and her friends had been fighting for over a year let out a wicked cackle as her attack on her failed. "What are you laughing at Rita? In case you didn't notice your attack failed."

"You don't get it do you little girl? While I won't deny that I would have been pleased beyond all measure to see you dead, those attacks weren't mean to harm you."

Kimberly glared at Rita, before her mind started to piece together what had happened. "You made him use up his energy."

"That's right little girl. Your sweetheart, my son, has consumed vast amounts of energy today. And it takes a large amount of energy to teleport creatures such as your zords. If Tommy exerts all his energy and will right now he would have enough energy to teleport all but one of you back to Earth."

"You mean someone has to stay behind." Kimberly argued.

"Exactly. For a weak little girl your mind is sharp. But it doesn't matter who stays, because regardless; I win." Rita crowed. "Let me spell it out for you while Tommy debates on who stays and who gets away to safety. If you stay I will kill you, and be rid of the biggest annoyance in my life since Zordon. If either of your zords stay; well my husband and I will corrupt and strip away all traces of their personality, leaving us with a powerful and obedient weapon. And if eggs stay, I will have plenty of time to corrupt them and raise three new zords, loyal only to me. Although I doubt that either Caldazar or Ellisande would leave their precious children behind with me. And lastly, if Tommy stays; I will wipe his memory again and send him far away. He will help my husband, Lord Zedd in his conquests. He'll be forever out of your reach little girl, and once I conquer Earth, my family will once again be complete. Now Tommy, show me your true character, who will you save, and who will you leave behind!" Rita cackled, as she tasted victory.

Tommy lowered his head as his choices pounded in his head. But as he looked around he felt his determination harden. Looking up Tommy gazed at Caldazar and Ellisande, and he could feel their worry for both him and Kimberly, and their eggs. Turning his attention to the eggs he felt for the children. For he knew that if they were left behind then the woman parading about in his mother's body would do as she said and force the eggs to hatch, twisting their minds in the process to conform to her will and desires. And lastly he turned his eyes on Kimberly, the girl who had saved him when his mind was lost, the girl he loved; he couldn't leave her behind.

"My family comes first." Tommy said as he built up the magic for the spell and in a great flash of green lightning everyone vanished.

"I had a feeling that you'd stay behind Tommy." Rita said as she watched her son struggle to his feet from where he had fallen down, utterly exhausted and spent. Once he had gained his feet he released his hold on his morph and let it slip away. Standing up he stood before his 'mother' unarmored and unprotected, too exhausted to even summon the Dragon Dagger.

"Like I'd leave my family here alone to fight you off, this is my mess, and I'll face the consequences for my heritage and my choices." Tommy said as he stood tall.

"My my, seems like you have all but joined those little power pukes." Rita mocked her son. "But you and I both know where your true allegiances lie."

"They lie with my family." Tommy replied.

"Yes yes, your family. But in a few hours you'll have forgotten all about those that you call family. And then all your loyalty will again be placed on me and your father." Rita exclaimed; the thought of her son once again by her side filling her with joy.

"That is only if you can erase my memories, and I have taken great efforts to protect my mind." Tommy said.

"My dear son, surely you must have realized by now that with magic, there are many ways to slip past guards." Rita said as she smiled wickedly. Shifting her attention she saw Goldar and Scorpina walking towards her. "Ah good to see that you are still alive, I had hoped that you would escape the parent's wrath."

Scorpina glared at her old friend. "Good that we survived? Rita the dragon was trying to crush us, if we were a second slower we wouldn't be having this conversation. Not mention that I am convinced that the pink flying lizard was trying to eat me!"

"Calm down Scorpina, everything worked in the end. See we have reclaimed our warrior." Goldar said as he laid a hand on Scorpina's shoulder, causing her frustrations to ease a little. "I'm glad that the plan worked your majesty, but surely there had to be another, easier way of regaining your son."

"It doesn't matter if there was or not. And besides," here Rita's grin became truly evil as she explained. "There is nothing more amusing than watching others suffer. Now hurry up, and bring my son to my sands. It's time that he forgot about the rangers, and remembered his true family." Rita said causing both Goldar and Scorpina to grab one of Tommy's arms and began to march him through the palace.

-Command Center-

Kimberly arrived in the midst of the Command Center in a flash of emerald lightning holding all three eggs. Kimberly looked around and noticed that all of her friends were there gathered around the viewing globe. Although once they noticed the flash of lightning they all turned around and gathered around her.

Amidst all the congratulations that the other rangers were giving her, she let her morph fall.

"Well done Kimberly, you fought well and saved the eggs. I have never been more proud of you." Zordon said causing another round of celebrations amongst the rangers.

"Wait!" Kimberly shouted causing the rangers to silence themselves. "Tommy. He stayed behind didn't he?"

"I'm afraid so Kimberly. But he ha-"

"That can't be the end of it Zordon. You know full well what is about to happen. He's about to be brainwashed all over again. And I'm afraid that this time, he might not come back." Kim said with tears forming in her eyes. "We can't leave him behind."

Zordon looked down on the Pink Ranger, and as he stared into her eyes he could both see and feel her determination to help this boy who had stolen her heart.

Jason seeing his 'little sister' so heartbroken over what might happen stepped up to lend his aid to her plea. "Look Zordon Kim's right. We need to help Tommy get out of there, even if it's for entirely selfish reasons, such as not wanting him as our enemy again. But beyond that even though we didn't hear everything (4) that was going on up there; I understand that Tommy showed a true ranger spirit. He put others before himself. He's even willing to be brainwashed all over again to keep everyone else safe."

Trini was the next to step up and lend her aid to her best friend. "Yeah Zordon. Look at him, he fought for his family out there. He may have joined late, but nonetheless he fought against impossible odds, and he knew better than anyone else how dangerous this was, yet he still went anyway. You cannot deny his courage."

Billy was quick to add his input as well. "If this is about responsibility, then it is a wasted lesson. Tommy used his powers for his own personal use, but look at him. He's willing to go through the loss of his entire life's memories for the safety of his family. He is more responsible than any of us are, for he's willing to face the consequences for his actions. And I fear that Kimberly may be right. If Tommy's mind is brainwashed again, especially so close to his last brainwash, then there is a possibility that he will lose his true memories forever."

Zack after a moment's hesitation stepped up as well. "Zordon, we need to save him. He's not the person that we fought before. And while he may follow his own rules, he is still my friend. And after watching him fight through hordes of Rita's minions for those eggs, I think all of us realize that we couldn't ask for a better friend."

Zordon looked upon his rangers, and upon seeing their determination to help their friend he felt both a sense of pride fill him as well as a deep sense of shame. "You have all made excellent points. And I'm ashamed that my distrust of Tommy has caused my hesitation. But you have forgotten one more reason; this is the right thing to do. Alpha bring him in."

Everyone smiled as Alpha scurried over to the teleportation controls, and in a few seconds, a flash of green light lit up the room as Tommy stood before them.

Stumbling slightly Tommy quickly regained his orientation and once he did he noticed that he was standing in the Command Center, one of the last places he thought he'd ever stand in. But his thoughts and doubts were quickly washed away as he saw Kimberly and his friends standing around him with smiles on their faces. As he took in his surroundings the realization hit him. He was safe.

Zordon watched in amusement as all the rangers gathered around their newest friend and gave him congratulatory hugs and praises. But he had something to say to the Green Ranger. "Tommy, step forward please."

As Tommy did, he noticed how all his friends had taken a respectful step back. "Zordon, thanks for the assist."

"It was my pleasure. I just needed a little prodding and reminding form the others. Now onto business, I would like for you to officially join the Power Rangers."

"You know how I feel about your rules." Tommy said.

"I do, but in light of the maturity that you and Kimberly showed on the moon and the dangers that you and Kimberly specifically will be facing from now on. I am willing to agree to what you two will."

Tommy paused and as he took a glance at Kimberly he felt his mind made up. "We'll keep out identities a secret."

"Very well. Rangers, I present to you the sixth Power Ranger." Zordon proclaimed. "At long last the prophecy has come to pass. And as it was prophesied so it came to be, family has decided the fate of the Dragon and his Ranger. Billy present Tommy with his communicator."

Tommy watched as Billy left the gaggle of friends and made his way to a wall of the Command Center, where after pushing a specific panel, Billy picked up a box. After bringing said box to Tommy, Billy opened it revealing both a dark green communicator that looked like a watch, as well as a morpher. Reaching into the box Tommy removed the communicator, but left the morpher, deciding to continue morphing as he has. After placing the communicator on his wrist Tommy turned to his friends.

"So Tommy, what are you going to do now?" Zack asked.

"Now. Well I think that I owe a special girl some dinner." Tommy said as he looked at Kimberly, causing said girl to blush prettily. "Zordon, do you think that we can leave the eggs here for you to watch."

"I'll actually send the eggs to their parents. Now you two go out and enjoy your date." Zordon said.

"That was a great story grandma," said a little girl of about seven years with deep brown hair and deep soulful brown eyes.

"Yeah that was awesome grandma." Agreed a boy only about eight years old, with light sun bleached brown hair, and hazel eyes.

"Why thank you Kylee and Samuel. And I'm sure that little Jason enjoyed it as well, before he fell asleep that is." A beautiful women with white hair said, and although she was about fifty plus years old, her smile still lit up rooms. Hoisting the little three year old into her arms the grandma stood up, keeping the brown haired and hazel eyed child close.

"But grandma Leanna," Samuel whined. "We want to hear another story about mom and dad."

"Yeah." Kylee agreed. "I want to hear about how Dad visited Mom nearly every day when she was in Florida training for that gymnastic competition of hers."

"Well I want to hear about how Dad restored Caldazar and Ellisande back to their original forms." Samuel said.

"I want to hear about how Mom and Dad reacted when they first met grandpa Alric when he was still Zedd." Kylee said.

"I want to hear about Mom and Dad's Ninjetti adventures." Samuel argued, causing his younger sister to agree as to wanting to hear about that story.

"Yeah, but I also want to know what happened to the eggs." Kylee said.

"Good point, but don't you want to hear about the Maligore incident?" Samuel asked

"Well yeah. But I really want to hear about how mom and dad fought against dad's evil clone." Kylee said causing her older brother to nod in excitement.

"Children, children." Leanna reprimanded. "I'm not telling you another story tonight, but next time I'll be sure to tell you another one. Maybe I'll even get grandpa Alric to help out."

"Yay!" The two still awake children shouted causing their little brother to stir a little.

"Now go to bed, your parents will be home any minute now, and I don't want them coming in and seeing that you are still awake." Leanna said as she made her way out of the sibling's room and switched the light out.

After she made her way to Jason's room and put the little three year old to bed she made her way out to the living room of her son's house to wait for him and Kimberly to come back from their date night.

Ten minutes later the door opened, letting an older Tommy and Kimberly into the house, smiles on their faces and laughter glinting in their eyes. Leanna looked on her son and daughter-in-law with a smile on her face. Even after countless fights with aliens and invaders, as well as ten years of marriage the two were even deeper in love than she thought possible.

Upon seeing her mother-in-law watching them with a smile on her face Kimberly led Tommy over to Leanna, where upon the old and beloved grandma received a series of hugs. "So how were they?" Kimberly asked.

"Oh they were fantastic. They just love my stories." Leanna replied, with a smile lighting here face.

Tommy chuckled at the look on his mom's face. "So what story did you tell them?"

"Oh I just told them how you two met, as well as your early days as a Power Ranger." Leanna said waving off the question. "Now I must be off, I want to at least talk to Alric before he falls asleep on me." Leanna said a fond smile lighting her face. "Now you two enjoy the rest of your night."

I am finished! I have finally completed a story after nearly two years on this site. I'm so proud of myself.

Anyway that is the end of my Power Ranger story The Question of Loyalty. I hope you enjoyed the story, and this chapter. The chapter placed a lot of characters in danger, but in the end everyone got a happy ending. You don't get much more, 'and they lived happily ever after' than this. As to why I ended the story like this, it was so that I can easily leap between stories without having to write out all the little scenes that I didn't want to write. As well as showing a nice happy ending.

All those things that Samuel and Kylee wanted to know are in fact sequel ides that I have for future stories. But you'll have to wait a while for those to come out.

1. Kimberly and Tommy both view their zords as family, specifically as an older sister and brother.

2. Amara is the name of Kimberly's pink crane Ninjetti Spirit.

3. Scorpions are in fact arachnids.

4. Zordon didn't let Jason and the others didn't hear that Tommy is the son of Rita and Zedd. That is for Tommy to explain.

Please leave a review and reply telling me what you think of the story and chapter, as well as what sequel you think I should write next. I hope you enjoyed this story, I know I enjoyed writing it.

Note: Be sure to leave your opinion on what story I should write next in you reviews. But also feel free to send me requests.
