Disclaimer: If you saw the character on TV then Haim Saban owns it. If the only place you saw it was in a fanfic by Robert Gutheim or Mistri Xades then guess what: We own it! This is a new International Writing Collaboration which covers a lot of territory and several time zones since Robert lives on the East coast of the United States and Mistri.... well he lives all the way over in Australia, so as you can see it even covers two different hemispheres. This comes after Coming To Terms and takes place Janurary 1997. The poem, Jerusalem was written by William Blake (1757-1827), put to music in 1916, I think, and is used in a play by John Misto, The Shoe-Horn Sonata. I am listening to it, plus I'm going to actually see the play for as part of my HSC, so I chucked it in. Mistri owns Vadaei, [that's pronounced VAY-di-I,] the Phaedos Powers and their bearers, Mistri, Geneva, Calcia, Edy, Asharani, Karei, Vedi, Dalila and Bambi. These nine characters cannot be borrowed, as Mistri is using them in a story for publication. They are protected under international copyright law.
Special Note From Robert: I can easily understand what the Members of the Resistance are going through since a few times in my life I've lost people close to me. The First Time was in August of 2002 almost Ten years ago when A Teacher and Coach I had worked with extra curricularly had died out a heart attack. The next time was October of '93 only a few months after graduating from High School When A classmate of mine who I had last seen at Graduation was killed in a DWI accident. The next one was back in December when my own Grandfather died. The Most recent though was a few weeks ago when A Friend of mine was killed while helping to fight a Fire in the first Mass Fatality of Firefighters since September 11th. I am dedicating my part of this fanfic to Timothy J "T.J." Lynch CHS '93 and John Ginochetti (Lieutenant Manlius NY Fire Department Posthumously) the Two Firefighters who died a few weeks ago.
Special Note From Mistri: Like Robert, I too can understand what the other Rangers are going through. I lost my older brother, Luke David John Timothy Kerr, on December 11^th 1994. My part of this fic is dedicated to him.

Moving On
by Robert and Mistri

One day shortly after the death of the Phaedos Team Tyra was walking through the lounge when she saw Joel sitting down silently.

"You OK Joel?" she wondered.

"I don't know. I guess I just miss Calcia more then I thought I would. Why did they have to die the way they did in training? We're soldiers basically and soldiers are supposed to die with the last shot fired in the last battle not in training."

"There is so much we don't know about Ranger Powers in general let along the Phaedosian Powers. For some reason the training they were doing caused a huge energy spike in their powers. As it is their powers were some of the more powerful ones we had. They might have been the most powerful I don't know."

"Tyra, you find it strange at all how the things that they treasured the most were destroyed in the explosion things like Calcia's flower dying even though they were in their private sleeping quarters?"

"That is strange. It could just have been due to the seismic activity from the explosion,"

"We can't even have a proper funeral for them without their bodies."

"That happens sometimes Joel. As it is Billy, Janet, Ashley, Kendrix, Trini, of course myself, are even now still trying to figure out exactly what happened and in what order."

At this Joel seemed to explode with anger. "YOU'VE TOLD US EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! YOU SAW THAT THE POWER LEVELS WERE FLUCTUATING RAPIDLY AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN GET THEM TO STOP! YOU KNEW THAT THEY COULD COMMAND INCREDIBLE POWER AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN THINK THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM! YOU SAW THEIR WEAPONS FLARE WITH LIGHT AND DIDN'T EVEN QUESTION IT! YOU SAW THAT THEIR POWER LEVELS WERE BARELY HOLDING AT 63.10675356 TIMES THE STRENGTH OF ANY OF OUR MORPHS! YOU SAW THE POWER INDICATOR SHOOT THROUGH THE ROOF! YOU SAW THEIR WEAPONS VIBRATING AND GLOWING! BUT DID YOU THINK OF FORCE-DEMORPHING THEM?! NO!"

And with this Joel stormed away to his room, leaving Tyra in tears. He was right. The signs had been there, and they'd been ignored. But he'd gotten it in the wrong order.

Carter came in and saw Tyra. "I heard yelling. It sounded like Joel. What gives?" Shaking her head, Tyra explained it all. Carter kept his temper under control. He was getting angry about the situation as well as Joel. But he deflated.

"Yelling at you isn't going to bring them back," he said to Tyra. "At least we can prevent it from happening again... if anyone ever dares to train again."

"We were so stupid. All the signs were there. And we can't have a funeral without their bodies."

"No," agreed Carter. "But we can have a memorial service."

The two put their heads together and began planning the final sendout of their fallen friends.

Meanwhile Kendrix was watching replays of the session. Something was nagging her, and she was sure that she could figure it out. All attempts to stop her watching it were met by brute force.

~*~

The next day, everyone in the world was ordered to their local meeting places. This would be the first contact with the UAE since the Rangers had come into existence.

"We are generally pleased with the way that you people have been acting. Just remember. Whoever resists us shall be killed. There is only one place that you can be safe. Only forty-six of you know that secret place. We will hunt you down. We don't know who you are. But we will ruthlessly crush you."

Then Rita, using her fingernails, slit the throats of a young couple.

~*~

Back in the woods of Angel Grove, the Rangers had gone to the place which the Phaedos Rangers had always trained in hand to hand before they recieved their powers. They had spent many hours here, always doing something.

They stood silently, and finally, nine of the Rangers stepped to a certain spot. There they each placed a plant into an already prepared hole, and quietly planted it. They stood there for several minutes, before leaving.

Leo went to the room he shared with Kendrix, and thought about his brother.

I should have saved him, and they killed him. Now Mistri and them are dead. I'll make the UAE pay!

So thinking, he fell asleep.

He was in the forest. Sitting next the the tree that honoured Karei's memory. Not knowing what else to do, he began to pour out his feelings. Finally, he heard a voice.

It was your brother's time, Leo. Had the UAE not attacked, he would have been run over by a bus or something of the sort. At least he went out with honour.

"What about you?!"

That was a random element, Leo. It wasn't supposed to happen, but it did. Don't grieve for us. If you do, we can never truly be happy again in the afterlife.

"But it hurts..."

I know... Believe me, I know... There was a glow of light...

When Leo awoke, he remembered nothing of the dream, but he was happier than he had been. Then he looked over to his dresser. There, shiny as the day they had first been used, were the nine Phaedos Morphers.

Leo screamed bloody murder. When the others came in, they calmed Leo down, and they took the morphers to the War Room.

"Well, a morpher only reverts back to the base if the Ranger using that morpher dies. So, they have to be dead," said Dana, heavily.

The other Rangers nodded somberly.

Suddenly, Joel jumped up. "Why did their most treasured possessions get destroyed when they died?"

"As I said," replied Tyra, "seismic activity from the explosion." Joel shook his head.

"I can accept that for Mistri and Vedi's heart, and Geneva's jewelry box. Not for the others. What happened to them was not caused by seismic activity."

"Yeah..." said Carter. "How can seismic activity tear Bambi's cloak to ribbons?"

Finally, something clicked in Kendrix's mind. She dashed out of the room, and skidded into her chair by the databanks. She began to type furiously and watched as the events played out. Watching anxiously, she finally made the connection.

"YES!" she exulted. She finally had some idea of what had caused their death. If this could all add up.

The power levels went insane. Then, I guess that ruined the safety protocols, because when they trained the first time, their weapons were alright. The Ice Whip, Flame Staff and Phaedos Alairete were acting strangely around each other. Not surprising, Water, Fire and Electricity don't mix well. But they had been fine before, so the safeties must have blown. The Ice Whip wrapped around the Flame Staff, triggering a power surge.... and everything built up and the room exploded.

She came back, and explained everything. The others listened grimly.

"We could have a real problem on our hands Kendrix," Janet said.

"What makes you say that?"

"Well we need to really rework the safeties. For one thing so that when pure energy weapons like Brianca and Tyra have are used it causes a huge outflow of energy. Heck both Basket Attack and Turbo Blast really pack a wallop of a recoil. Plus energy can be a factor in a lot of other weapons. Then we have to figure out where we will train until The Training room is repaired."

"Good point Kendrix," Carter said. "Anything else we need to figure out?"

"Well if for some reason the Training Room does get blown up again when it's in use maybe work it such that the energy doesn't reverberate through the entire base."

"Hopefully that won't happen because the tech squad can among other things program into the system an automatic force demorph should power levels get out of control. The challenge being that we have to make sure it doesn't happen when we are in battle just during training situations. Joel did have a point yesterday when he pointed out how we should have force demorphed Mistri and the others before the room exploded," Kendrix explained.

"I'm calling a Council Meeting," Carter said.

The remaining members of the Council headed for the Council Room.

"OK we have a lot to figure out," Carter said. "What should be our first item?"

"Should you not decide who will journey to Phaedos to inform the Guardian there of the death of Mistri and the others?" Dimitria wondered.

"That might be a good move Dimitria," Carter said. "Sue, Kim, any chance you can get word to either Sue's grandfather or the Professor of the situation?"

"Professor Damon is aware of the situation already Carter. I filed report with him on the 8^th," Sue explained.

"OK," Carter said. "Dana, could you be at the next tech squad meeting so you can find out when the new safety protocols will be ready?"

"Shouldn't be a problem."

"Dimitria, what would it take to repair the Training Room?"

"Hopefully not much Carter It just needs to reestablish a connection with the Morphin Grid."

After the meeting was over it was decided that Tommy, Tyra, and Joel would travel to Phaedos to talk with Dulcea.

The trio soon arrived on the sunny green world of Phaedos near the Temple. Suddenly they were attacked by Dulcea.

"What brings you all here?"

"I am Tommy Oliver, Green Morphing, with me are Tyra Johnson, Yellow Demona and Joel Rawlings, Green Lightspeed. We are part of the Resistance on Earth."

"You probably work closely with Mistri Xades and his team."

"Well we did but a couple weeks ago there was an accident. During a training session the weapons used by the Black, Green, and Yellow Phaedosian Rangers kind of went haywire during a power surge. It really expanded out the energy output over 63 times. An explosion occurred which killed all nine members of the Phaedosian Ranger team. Mistri, Karei, Edy, Calcia, Geneva, Bambi, Dalila, Vedi, Asharani, all are dead. It took a while to be sure. We think we've worked out everything that went wrong and are working to prevent future accidents like this," Tyra explained.

"The energy output was so strong it was a couple weeks before anyone could even attempt to enter the Training room to investigate or even clean up."

"I see. Very interesting," Dulcea said.

She turned away from them, and looked out to the Monolith. Then she whirled back to them.

"How many Rangers are there in total?" Tommy looked confused, and Joel snapped the answer right back at her.

"Currently, there are thirty-seven active Rangers, and for some reason, we have recovered the nine morphers of the Phaedos Rangers."

Dulcea looked towards the Monolith looking for something. "Very well. You have heard of the stories of the Monolith?"

"Well, you have to quest through the Neola Jungle and face trials," said Tyra.

"That is only when there are six or less Rangers journeying," said Dulcea. "Gather your team, and bring them here."

~*~

Finally all the Rangers were gathered around the fire. She gathered up the sacred dust, and blew it across the fire sending the flames high up. They were instantly garbed in the dress of the Ninjetti. She walked over to the right, and started annoucing their spirits. "Damon Henderson - Green Turtle. Maya of Mirinoi - Yellow Bee. Kendrix Morgan - Pink Hummingbird. Kai Chen - Blue Fox. Leo Corbett - Red Cheetah. Barakus of Triforia - Titanium Triforian Condor. Brianca Chang - Blue Puma. Susan Collington - Red Mule. Kimberly Coltran - White Snake. Sean Crowning - Green Lion. Andrew Hammond - Black Kerovian Bat." As she moved to Janet, sorrow flickered through her eyes. "Janet Cranston - Purple Owl. Tyra Johnson - Yellow Elephant. Sasha Stanton - Pink Hyena. Kat Hilliard - Pink Butterfly. Tanya Sloan - Yellow Elk." She moved past Rocky and Adam. "David Trueheart - Red Tiger. Andros of KO-35 - Red Dolphin. TJ Johnson - Blue Bobcat. Carlos Valertes - Black Deer. Cassie Chan - Pink Bat. Ashley Hammond - Yellow Cobra. Zhane of KO-35 - Silver Leopard. Carter Grayson - Red Koala. Chad Lee - Blue Kangaroo. Joel Rawlings - Green Kookaburra. Dana Mitchell - Pink Wombat. Kelsey Winslow - Yellow Emu. Ryan Mitchell - Silver Lyrebird." She skipped Tommy like Adam and Rocky before him. "Zack Taylor - Black Giraffe. Kim Hart - Pink Crane. Billy Cranston - Blue Wolf. Trini Kwan - Yellow Eagle. Jason Lee Scott - Red Jaguar."

"Tommy Oliver, Rocky De Santos, Adam Park. Respectively, you are the Falcon, Ape and Frog. However, I sense within each of you a destiny that was never fulfilled. And so, you have the wrong colours in your Ninjetti powers. Tommy Oliver - White Falcon. Adam Park - Black Frog. Rocky De Santos - Red Ape."

Janet stepped forwards. "Dulcea, why is my animal spirit a source of sorrow for you?"

"Because, Janet, you have the same animal spirit as Edy."

Dulcea turned away and looked towards the Monolith.

"Apparently, the Monolith has quietened. Until the Monolith awakens, you will need to rely on your primary powers."

She left appearing to be in a bad mood.

The others quietly left the Sacred Grounds, and headed to the beach, where Alpha would get a lock on them. Kat looked pensievely out to sea, and then began to quietly sing. The others, recognising the song, joined in. Inside, they knew which line was theirs to sing. And they also knew which line would have been sung by one of the Phaedos Rangers, had they been alive.

Edy - Kat, Kim C, Cassie: And did those feet in ancient time
Andros, TJ, Barakus: Walk upon Englandçs mountains green?
Maya, Kai, Carter: And was the holy Lamb of God
Mistri - Tanya, Sean: On Englandçs pleasant pastures seen?

Dalila - Ashley, Andrew: And did the countenance divine
Zhane, Dana, Kelsey: Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
Zack, Kim H, Chad: And was Jerusalem builded here
Kendrix, Brianca, Carlos: Among these dark satanic mills?

Calcia - Billy, Janet: Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Leo, Tyra, Sasha: Bring me my arrows of desire!
Karei - Adam, Jason: Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold!
Vedi - David, Joel: Bring me my chariot of fire!

Bambi - Ryan, Rocky: I will not cease from mental fight,
Geneva - Trini, Sue: Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Asharani - Tommy, Damon: Till we have built Jerusalem
All: In England's green and pleasant land

~*~

Alpha looked surprised as they teleported in, and continued singing. Apparently, he had locked onto them in the middle of Zhane, Dana, and Kelsey's line.

"Geez, let us finish singing, Alpha!" chided Dana gently when they were all done.

"How was I supposed to know?" he asked.

"Well.. I guess you're off the hook."

"I sure hope so," Alpha said. The Rangers then headed for their individual rooms. Seven of which ended up empty rooms due to the death of their roommates. Tyra and Zack were relaxing away when there was a knock.

"Come in," Tyra said to find Carter and Sue on the other side.

"Sue, Carter, what brings two red rangers to party central?" Tyra wondered as she glanced at Zack.

"We are trying to figure out what Dulcea meant by her reference to the Monolith and how it was silent but how she expected it to awaken. For one thing when would it be awakening?"

"I have no idea. It sounds like something could happen when the Monolith does awaken," Tyra said. "If I find time I'll get the Tech Squad on it."

A short time later Tyra was in the city doing a few things. Among them was a follow up at her doctor's office on her pregnancy. After that she went shopping. While looking at clothes she saw a familiar dread locked male walk towards her.

"Tyra, how have you been?" he inquired.

"Doing pretty good Garrett. My pregnancy is still going good. He suspects it's right on time for delivery sometime in July probably," Tyra told him.

"Hard to believe that inside you is a little life that we will be able to raise to be a responsible citizen of our planet," Garrett commented.

"At least I probably will. Garrett I know you feel you should be a part of my baby 's life being the father and all but I'd prefer if you stayed out of it. I found a friend who in my opinion would make a better father then you."

"I disagree Tyra. OK. So I've been known to support what the UAE is up to but at least I don't try to prevent the UAE from doing what they want like you and your goofball bunch of friends do. Soon as the baby is born I plan on seeking full and complete custody of him or her. Tyra, you could end up the one excluded from our baby 's life."

Tyra then ran from the store and into a Ladies locker room where she teleported to her bedroom at the Chamber.

"Hey Tyra. What's the matter?" asked Zack.

"That bastard Garrett is going to take my baby away from me.." she sobbed.

Zack's face darkened. Garrett was well known for sabotaging their efforts. "He won't take our kid away from us, Tyra. I promise you."

"Zack, what did you say?" she asked.

"Oh damn," said Zack. "Tyra, I think I finally worked out what Mistri said. I have to look in front of me, instead of chasing Angela. And when I did, I found you."

"Oh Zack," sighed Tyra. They shared a kiss, and then Tyra reluctantly left to start some tests.

Kendrix was working on analysing the Monolith from Earth, and noticed that the Monolith's energy levels were at zero. But every now and then, rotating in a circle of nine, there would be a spike. Each spike was unique, and it never changed.

"What could this mean?" asked Tyra, her fingers flying over the consoles.

"It means trouble," said Kendrix. "I don't like it."

Trini raced in, her wet hair flying. She sat down, and began processing the data. Billy and Janet skidded to a stop and surveyed the scene.

Ashley teleported in, and looked to Billy.

But they received no new information. Finally, they let it go.
