Author's Notes: Sorry for the long wait, but a new semester and more writing block has taken a toll these past few months. The final chapter is now, so sit back and enjoy.
Chapter 21: Celebration
The following evening, Angel Grove had organized a party to celebrate Sixth Rangers' victory over Golomois. The main location of the celebration took place outside of Paul's entertainment restaurant, which stood at the edge of the beach. People, young and old, were partying and having a good meal as they listened to the band's music at the end of the beach.
Tommy and the other sixth rangers were gathered around a long table eating food they retrieved from the buffet. Robo Knight was back in his header mode, so not to arouse suspicion. Sam appeared in his ball of light form, but disguised himself as the light coming from one of the lamps on the table. Ninjor was brought back to miniature size to avoid suspicion as well.
"Hey, guys!" Orion called out over the numerous conversations around them
"Hey!" The other rangers responded.
"The man of the hour has arrived." Antonio quipped as Orion made his way toward the group
Orion took a seat next to Tommy and Eric.
"So, are your friends alright?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah, once we destroyed Golomois, they were freed, and I returned all their ranger keys." Orion answered. "They're somewhere around here."
"Hey, Orion, I have to say, you did a great job out there." Daggeron spoke up.
"Hey it was nothing." Orion smiled sheepishly. "I know I could do it with you guys with me."
"Hey, it's Tommy!" A voice shouted.
The sixth rangers turned to see Spike rushing over to them. Behind him were Skull, Kimberly, and Jason.
"Kim, Jason!" Tommy gasped as he got up and embraced his old friends. "It's good to see you guys."
"It's great to see you, too, 'Dr. Oliver'." Jason chuckled.
Kimberly snickered.
"Adam told you?" Tommy said as his eyes narrowed. Jason nodded.
"Hey, Muscles!" Skull spoke up as he shook Tommy's hand. "It's been a while."
"It sure has, Skull." Tommy smiled as he shook his past rival's hand. He then turned his gaze to Spike. "So, this must be your son?"
"Yup, the name's Spike, Mr. Tommy." Spike blurted out.
"Takes after his father, I see." Tommy sighed. "You know, I heard that you helped the Power Rangers."
"Well, a little bit." Spike said sheepishly. "I mean, I knew they could do it, I just thought that maybe they could use some encouragement."
"Hey, Spike, that took a lot of courage." Orion told the boy. "I'm sure the Power Rangers are very proud of you."
"You know, instead of trying being a samurai, maybe you should train to be the next Power Ranger." Antonio suggested.
"Nah, there's no way that could happen." Spike shook his head.
"Hey, it's possible." Orion pointed out. "Who knows, maybe one day in the blink of an eye, you could end up saving the world, just like them."
"Wow…" Spike sighed. "That would be so sweet, but what color would I be?"
Everyone laughed.
"Alright, we better get going." Kimberly suggested. "Skull and I have are up in a few minutes. It was great seeing you guys."
Everyone waved good-bye to the four old friends.
"Orion?" Tommy said as the two sat down. "On behalf of all of us, I'd like to say that you have more than lived up to the legacy of the Sixth Rangers, and I can't think of anyone better to have wielded our powers to save the world."
"Hear, Hear!" The others cheered.
"Here are your beverages." A voice spoke.
The rangers to see a gray haired bearded man waiter standing at the end of the table holding a tray of cups filled with soda. His round spectacles gleamed under the party lights.
"Thanks." Orion said as the man placed their drinks on the table.
"Oh, by the way." The man said quietly. "Since that demon's gone now, the Armada will be returning soon. So be on your guard."
"What?" Orion puzzled as the man began to walk away.
"You and the other Mega Rangers fight them, correct?" The man asked without turning to face them. "So be ready for another attack."
"How did you know…." Ryan began.
The man turned around, "Let's just say that I'm an old friend." The man smiled. His blue eyes suddenly flashed red for a split second.
"What's wrong, Ryan?" Tommy asked as he sipped his drink.
"That guy…he." Ryan said as he turned gaze back to the mysterious man, who had now seemingly disappeared.
"Where did he go?" Ryan asked as he scanned the area.
"Why are you acting so weird?" Eric questioned.
"I think….that was…..Diabolico." Ryan answered. "He must have been killed by Golomois and been reborn into a human."
"So if that's true, then my work's not done yet." Orion concluded. "I'd better tell the others."
"Whoa, hold on, Orion." Tommy interrupted. "That's an adventure for another day. I don't Vekar will be attacking anytime soon. Let's enjoy the party."
Orion smiled and sat back down.
"Hey, everyone!" Skull's voice shouted.
The rangers turned to face the stage near the café and saw Skull standing there with a microphone in his hand.
"Almost twenty years ago, an evil space sorceress named Rita Repulsa came to Earth and tried to conquer it." Skull said.
The crowd booed at the mention of Rita's name.
"But what she hadn't counted on was a group of colorful heroes with powers beyond ordinary means fighting back against her. These heroes were….The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!"
The crowd cheered loudly as the projection screens on the stages projected an image of the said rangers.
"And ever since then, different team of Power Rangers have appeared each year to fight against the forces of evil and save the world. So, tonight we'll be honoring them with a special song composed for all of them."
"We have Mr. Dustin Brooks on the saxophone!" Skull announced as the spotlight lit up around Dustin.
The ex-Wind Ranger played a very jazzy tune as he was introduced
"And we've Terry Watanabe on guitar!"
Terry began playing a rock and roll riff.
"Now let's bring out my trusted friends who will be performing this song with me. Skull announced. "First is my lovely wife, Kimberly!"
Kimberly stepped on stage and quickly kissed her husband on the cheek as the crowd cheered.
Her wardrobe appearance consisted of a black jacket with sleeves that reached to her elbow. Under this jacket she wore a graphic tee of a pterodactyl. Her hair was tied up in in a bun except for the hair that covered her forehead. She was wearing black heeled boots to increase her height.
"Hi, everyone! How are you all doing tonight!" Kimberly shouted.
The crowd responded with even louder cheering.
"We have a really great show for all of you tonight." Kimberly said into her microphone. "Skull and I have invited some surprise guests to help us with this memorial celebration to the Power Rangers. Come on out, guys!"
The guests walked onto the stage, revealing themselves:
Zack Jones, Adam Park, Cassie Chan, Joel Rawlings, Lucas Kendall, Hunter Bradley, Kira Ford, Casey Rhodes, RJ
"You all ready for this?" Skull asked.
His response was uproar of applause.
"1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4! Terry shouted as the band began to play their instruments.
