Welcome to Part III of the New Years Special, and the finale of Fall of the Morphing Grid. Last time, the menace of Operation Hexagon was ended, with the deaths of the Megaforce Rangers. Today's update marks an epilogue to the story, so it may be shorter than the average story chapters so far have been. So, let us not wait a second longer. Let's wrap this story up with a bang!

(Our story resumes at the ruins of the Temple, where a crowd has gathered, awaiting the approach of the conquering heroes. And within minutes, with the setting sun behind them, Spyro, Cynder, Tommy Oliver, JJ Oliver, and the resistance Rangers approach, with the Hexagon Rangers handcuffed behind the. And just as the sun hits a low angle, while Spyro and Cynder mount a high point, Spyro throws the corpse of Megaforce Red into the center of the rubble)

Spyro: Citizens of the Dragon Realms! Behold the architect of our misery! The man behind this vile Operation Hexagon! The ringleader of the Power Rangers that have menaced us for months!

Cynder: (Getting the idea) But now, you may rest easy knowing he and his closest comrades have paid for their crimes with their lives. (Gesturing towards the recaptured Hexagon Rangers) And the rest of them will soon follow. But for now, the late Guardians have been avenged. Our lost children have been avenged!

(At the sound of those statements the crowd erupts into a unanimous cry of approval at the sight of their soon to be monarchs and their victory, when suddenly Tommy Oliver gets in the fervor)

Tommy Oliver: Long Live King Spyro!

(In the heat of the moment, the Pink Zeo Ranger joins him)

Pink Zeo Ranger: Long Live Queen Cynder!

(At this moment, the other resistance Rangers join their leaders in hailing the Realms' monarchs, followed by the citizens of the Realms. And as the cry rises, we transition about a few months later to a rebuilt Temple, now with much grander decor due to the event going on up on a balcony. That being Spyro and Cynder's coronation. Up on the balcony, a representative in lieu of the deceased Guardians reads Spyro and Cynder, clad in their ceremonal robes from earlier on, the oath they must take as monarchs of the Realms, though we don't hear the oath or their responses. But we do know they made the right responses, as the representative steps aside to let the public see their monarchs, as Spyro and Cynder bow their heads to receive the crowns they made for one another. And once this process is complete, the new monarchs face their citizens to a huge fanfare. And as it dies down, we transition to the banquet hall of the new Temple, where the newly crowned king and queen are holding a feast for their people and allies, where Tommy Oliver and a few select Rangers speak with them.)

Tommy Oliver: I got to admit, you guys certainly know how to throw one heck of a party.

Spyro: For our people, and our allies, we spare no expense.

Red Wild Force Ranger: I hate to spoil the mood, but... what's going to happen to the Hexagon Rangers?

Cynder: No need to worry about them, old friend. The last of them faces trial in two days. Likely there's going to be a few death sentences, but some of them may just get life imprisonment. That one who gave us the list may be the only one to see the light of day again.

Pink Time Force Ranger: At least justice shall be done. For all those present, yourselves included.

Cynder: Hopefully, third time's the charm.

Red Lightspeed Ranger: Piecing it together: Wait, does that mean what I think it means?

Spyro: (Throwing a caring wing over Cynder) Yep, we're trying again.

Cynder: Due at the end of the month.

Pink Zeo Ranger: Well then, best of luck with that little one.

Cynder: Thanks Kat. Coming from you guys, that means a lot. Speaking of children, how's JJ doing?

Tommy Oliver: He's recovering. But needless to say, he's about as ready to get home as we are.

Spyro: Speaking of getting home, you'll find every Zord you've loaned us outside the Delta Command Crawler.

Red Wild Force Ranger: We spoke with the other Rangers, and since there's fewer of us now, we've got no objections to you keeping the loaners.

Cynder: We couldn't do that. They were a loan, not a permanent thing. We've already returned most of the controls. (Pulling out the Flute Dagger and the Animal Crystals she used) Yours are all that remain.

(As Cynder hands the borrowed materials, her Animal Crystals return to their normal colors, just as Spyro returns the Falcon Summoner)

Spyro: And thus, the loan is repaid.

Cynder: So, how exactly do you guys plan to get out of here?

Shadow Ranger: The Delta Command Crawler has a fast-travel ability.

Blue Ranger: Combine that with some of Leanbow and Daggeron's magic and we should be able to get home quite easily in the morning.

Spyro: That's good to hear. (To Tommy Oliver) Hey, Tommy, would you mind taking something back with you, from us?

Tommy Oliver: (Confused by the request) Sure. What is it?

Spyro: (Removes a piece of paper from his ceremonial robes) A little note from us to any future Power Rangers that may emerge.

Tommy Oliver: (Taking up the note) Good call.

Cynder: Well, let us not worry for business tonight. After all the madness we've been through, this is the well earned reward. Go on, eat, drink, and be merry! Most of us will probably still be asleep when you head out, so in that case, best of luck in your future.

Tommy Oliver: Agreed. And until we meet again, may the power protect you all.

Spyro and Cynder: And you as well.

(With their formalities and farewells out of the way, the newly crowned monarchs rejoin their people and guests for a grand ball. And in the morning, true to their word, Spyro and Cynder are still asleep as the resistance Rangers leave for their home Realm. As the Delta Command Crawler proceeds through the newly generated portal home, Tommy Oliver, awake in the cockpit, decides to follow his curiosity, and opens Spyro's letter, which reads as follows:)

"To Whom It May Concern:

I am Spyro, King of the Dragon Realms. Almost two years ago by the time you are getting this, an organization of rogue Power Rangers entered our Realm with full intent to cause havok against us. They slaughtered our people's children before they could hatch, murdered our civic figures, and no doubt would have killed countless more innocent civilians if they were not stopped by Rangers brave enough to stand up to them. Those involved with these acts of terrorism are contained in our Realm, where they will face justice for their crimes, and many of them will never see the light of day again. If any new teams of Power Rangers emerge in the wake of this disaster, learn from their errors. Set not one foot in the Dragon Realms. Heed the knowledge of your surviving predecessors, unless of course you want to bring war to your Realm. You Have Been Warned."

(His curiosity satisfied, Tommy Oliver closes the note, before settling into a well deserved rest. But our tale is not over yet, as we transition to a strange laboatory like setting, where a new set of figures are examining this exact note. We cannot see the figures, save two red arms. One fully red, and one black with red wrist armor.)

Hyperforce Red: The stories of Operation Hexagon are true. This proves it.

Beast Morphers Red: How did this note never get out?!

Hyperforce Red: I don't know. But we need to get back to this Realm and warn them.

Beast Morphers Red: If he knows about that place, we may already be too late.

(And as these two fade out, a dread sight appears. A red visor surrounded by a golden frame, that of a Ranger's helmet, glowing ominously as our tale ends.)

And that wraps everything up. At least for now. Meanwhile, for the finale of the New Years Special, head on over to Mortal Kombat Ryujin. As you can tell, I'm planning a sequel for this story. With a very familiar, and dreaded antagonist behind it all. But, it won't be going live for a while, I'm a little overloaded on Power Rangers at the moment. And besides, I don't think I can do very much with just two teams and you-know-who over there. I'm going to need a few more teams. Unless there aren't going to be any more Power Rangers teams after this point. But either way, that wraps up the only story to begin and end on a special. So, until next time, this is Dragon of Mystery, signing out. And, may the power protect you all.
