Legal Disclaimer: This is the ending of my Adam and Dulcea series, I hope everyone who's read it has enjoyed it! Be watching for a series of fanfics semi-related to this series, that I will be co-authoring with my good friend Christine Lovejoy. I'd also like to thank Cynthia Harrell for giving me the idea for Zordon being able to marry a couple. Hope you like this, which begins just after the ending of "Passing of the Torch, Part 2"!

As the newly made Turbo Rangers came down to talk with the retiring ones, Adam seemed to be somewhat distracted. Carlos looked at him, a frown between the young man's eyebrows. "Is something wrong?" he asked. "I'm going to do my best to live up to this responsibility."

"I know," Adam smiled. "I have faith in you, Carlos."

"Then what's wrong?"

"Is something wrong, Adam?" Carlos looked up at the unfamiliar voice, and Adam whirled around, eyes widening in what could've been shock. "It had better not be!"

Adam ran over to the tall woman, glad only in what looked like a green bikini, holding a little girl in one arm. The two of them embraced, tears shining in the former Green Ranger's eyes. "Dulcea," he whispered. "You came."

"How could I not come?" she asked softly, running her hands through his hair. "And we have a surprise for you."

"Surprise?"

ADAM, YOU AND DULCEA HAVE BEEN IN LOVE FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS, Zordon's voice was strong and firm. NOW THAT YOU HAVE RETIRED FROM YOUR POWER RANGER RESPONSIBILITIES, THERE IS SOMETHING I BELIVE SHE WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU.

Dulcea touched Adam's cheek gently, then whispered softly, "Will you marry me, Adam Park?"

There was only one possible reply. "Yes!"

It wasn't exactly the grandest of weddings, but it shone in Adam's mind for the rest of his life. His parents had been teleported in, and had watched the ceremony of transfer from the shadows. They, as well as the other Rangers, past and present, would be the witnesses to this, while Dimitria came down to be the maid of honor for Dulcea. Billy, of course, was best man, and Zordon was to perform the ceremony.

"Who would've imagined that we go to a wedding the same day we become Power Rangers?" Carlos whispered to his new fellow Ranger, T.J. The bigger boy shrugged.

"Today's just been full of surprises!" he declared. They quieted down as the ceremony began.

ADAM, Zordon's voice was very quiet. DO YOU TAKE DULCEA AS YOUR LAWFULLY WEDDED WIFE, FOR ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE?

"I do," Adam's voice was very firm and clear.

DULCEA, DO YOU TAKE ADAM TO BE YOUR LAWFULLY WEDDED HUSBAND, FOR ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE?

Dulcea's voice was just as firm as Adam's. "I do."

THEN BY THE POWER INVESTED IN ME AS ZORDON OF ELTAR, I DO PRONOUNCE YOU HUSBAND AND WIFE. YOU MAY KISS.

The embrace the two fell into almost blew the roof off the Power Chamber.

"It's funny," Adam whispered into Dulcea's ear as they cuddled together on Phaedos. "In a way, that is."

"What is?" she asked, running a finger from his chest to his member. "What's so funny, my love?"

"Well, here it is our wedding night, and we've already got a year-old daughter!"

Dulcea smiled softly, her lips following the trail of her fingers and delicately curving around the magnificence of him. "My beloved husband," she whispered, pulling him closer to her and removing what little she still wore. "My sweet frog."

"Ribbit," Adam giggled, his hands caressing her breasts tenderly. Dulcea moaned in pleasure at the touch of his hands upon her, rejoicing in the strength and passion of his every motion. "I love you, Dulcea," he whispered, his fingers and hands dancing in their eternal dance of love across her body, joined by his lips and manhood.

With the tenderest of motions, the sweetest of words, the most incredible of times, Adam and Dulcea celebrated their long-awaited marriage. Their lifetime together had finally begun. Their dream was reality.

Their daughter was screaming at them because of a nightmare.

"What's going on?" Adam caught up Star as Dulcea ran past him as swiftly as she could, her staff in one hand and several bags in the other. "Dulcea!"

"Something I have feared for a long time," she sighed briefly as she guided them towards the Sacred Grounds. "We are being invaded."

"Invaded?" Adam paled, reaching for where he'd kept his morpher, power coin, zeoinzer, or turbo key. "By whom?"

Dulcea quickly marked out a circle in the ground and raised her staff high above her head. "You don't want to know. But we are going to where we can be safe."

"What about the Great Power?" he asked, glancing briefly to the Monolith just barely visible in the dawnlight. "I thought you had to stay here to guard it."

She shook her head. "The Great Power sleeps now within you and your friends. It can be awakened, but only in time of great need. Unless that need comes, it will sleep, being passed down from generation to generation."

"Where are we going?" Adam wanted to know, shifting the still-sleeping Star in his arms. "And can we communicate with Earth, I want to let the others know what's going on."

"Not just yet," Dulcea said. "When we get settled."

"Where are we going?"

She took a deep breath. "The sister planet of Phaedos. It's called. . .Dracnia."
